It’s not every day we get excited about chips in Disney World, unless, of course, it’s like the chips with Fish and Chips (which we LOVE) or those really cool and unique Lays flavors we often find at the Japan and China Pavilions in EPCOT.
Metro Deli Chips
No, we’re talking about regular old potato chips, the kind that usually come as a side with a lot of sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs in Disney World or are available as just a snack. However, Disney’s Animal Kingdom just switched up its chips game, and well, it’s a HUGE improvement, and we need to talk about it.
We were recently visiting Harame Fruit Market in Animal Kingdom and noticed something had changed with the chips options. We spotted Metro Deli chips. Now, we’ve actually seen these at other snack carts, too, so they’re becoming available throughout the park. Now, at Harambe Fruit Market, they’re still serving Lays if you get a hotdog, but you can now get any bag of chips for $3.29, including Metro Deli Sea Salt chips. Why is that game changing? Well, these are a larger bag of chips, so you get more, but the quality is also SO much better.
Right beside the Doritos
These chips taste like house-made chips, and they are consistently good. They’re the thick cut, kettle-cooked kind of chip with the PERFECT amount of salt. They also have a much more real potato flavor and, according to our reporter, “I hope I never have to eat a Lays chip in Disney World again now that I know this is possible.”
We hope to see them EVERYWHERE
So you can get a bigger bag of better chips for the same price, and that’s a win-win in our book!
We’ll keep an eye out for more new snacks in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

$3.29 for a 50 cent bag of chips? You’ve good to be kidding me. Paying more for less is now the Disney way…. Thank your rev ops beancounters at corporate — the type Walt had pure contempt for…
$3.29 for chips and yet Disney’s stock has returned nothing over the last decade. Beyond incompetence. Entire board and executive team should be fired.
Well they’re only better if you like thick cut kettle chips….which we don’t. So I hope they keep Lays and Doritos….in original flavors! I’m more concerned with them going cashless as SeaWorld has done. I refuse to charge a couple dollars so I go without and don’t buy…they lose the sale :-(. Please Disney: Keep the snack stands accepting cash!
I love Lays but certainly willing to try these chips I never heard of. Looked them up and they’re owned by USFoods headquartered in Illinois. They also own several other brands I’ve never heard of, probably bc we’re in the Northeast. But that’s what makes the world go round. To each their own! Enjoy!
