What’s better than a Disney snack? TWO Disney snacks! And what’s even better than that? It’s when you combine two snacks to make a Disney SNACK HACK!
Here at the DFB, we pride ourselves on coming up with some fun “hacks” that you can enjoy during your Disney day, too. But first, you’ve got to know WHERE and HOW to create these fun and tasty combos. So, we’re sharing ALL of our hacks right here!
Just click the link below each DFB Snack Hack to see 1. Why we LOVE it and 2. HOW TO HACK IT!
Disney World Snack Hacks
Magic Kingdom
Snack Hack: Mickey Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich with Peanut Butter Sauce
Our first hack is a long-standing DFB favorite. But heads up: this one takes some quick timing and preplanning to master!
To create the Mickey Ear Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich, you’ll need two of those MASSIVE Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookies and two scoops of ice cream (plus a lil’ sweet sauce for drizzling) — each from a different Main Street stop…

Snack Hack: Coconut Dole Whip Churro Sundae
This hack is an Adventureland and Frontierland Snack Mash-up!
Take the bite-sized Churros (with chocolate sauce) from Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe and grab a cup of Coconut Dole Whip just across the way at Aloha Isle and you’ve got yourself a Coconut Dole Whip Churro Sundae!

Snack Hack: Caramel Apple-Pecan Hand Pie a la Mode
So we’re starting this snack hack over at Friar’s Nook in Fantasyland, where you’ll pick up the Caramel Apple-Pecan Hand Pie. Right next door to Friar’s Nook is Storybook Treats, which serves ice cream.
So pick up a cup of Vanilla Soft-Serve and combine the two to make the Caramel Apple-Pecan Hand Pie a la Mode!
Check out this perfect-for-fall (or ANYTIME!) treat!
Snack Hack: Nutella Fresh Fruit Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich
We have long sung the praises of the EPIC Fresh Fruit Waffle (also covered with NUTELLA) at Magic Kingdom’s Sleepy Hollow. But as great as it is on its own, somehow we found a way to PLUS it, by adding vanilla ice cream and layering it to create…
…the Nutella Fresh Fruit Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich!
Check out our Nutella Waffle Disney World HACK here!
Snack Hack: Cocoberry Dole Whip
Can’t decide between Coconut Dole Whip or Raspberry Dole Whip? We’ve got some good news for you…
We don’t think you have to… thanks to the Cocoberry Hack we created (or the Razznut Hack, if you will)!

Snack Hack: EXTRA CHEESY Mickey Pretzel
Would you get a load of THIS?!? Admittedly, our EXTRA CHEESY Mickey Pretzel Snack Hack caused a bit of controversy when we created it in Magic Kingdom…
But we still stand by it, because you can’t argue with the GREAT taste of a Mickey Pretzel covered in not one, but TWO types of CHEEEEEESE!!!
Sorry, NOT Sorry! See how to HACK This SNACK — if you dare — HERE!

Snack Hack: Flower and Garden Festival Wontons with Peanut Sauce
We’ve even hacked our way around EPCOT’s seasonal Festivals! For instance, during spring’s Flower & Garden Festival, we stopped by Lotus House and requested some of the delicious peanut sauce that covers the Bon Bon Chicken Skewer.
We then used it as a dipping sauce for the House-made Crab and Cheese Wontons also served here. And we were pretty pleased with the result!

It was a VERY happy day when we discovered that one of our DFB Hacks made it to the OFFICIAL MENU at Barefoot Pool Bar in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! What we once called the Spiked Kakamora (since it’s a boozy version of the beloved Kakamora Float in Magic Kingdom)…
