food IS a theme park
When you think of Disney snacks — what comes to mind?
We love a good dog
Perhaps a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar, pretzel, or popcorn tickles your fancy. Maybe you think of the controversial turkey leg or a classic Dole Whip. No matter what, some Disney snacks are just classics — and right now we’re bringing you our review of one of our favorites!
Updated: March 18th, 2024
Some Disney treats, like Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, Mickey-shaped Pretzels, and even the famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) Turkey Legs, can be found at Disney parks on both coasts. But today we’re dedicating this post to help you track down the best DISNEYLAND treats!

For the purposes of this list, these are either snacks that you can only find in Disneyland Resort (at Disneyland park or Disney California Adventure) or snacks that Disneyland simply does them better than anywhere else. Without further ado… THIS is our list of the top snacks in Disneyland Resort for 2024! [Read more…]
Disney food isn’t just tasty — it’s also so pretty.

We could spend all day tearing apart cookies and digging our forks into delicious treats.
At DFB, we’re committed to all things Disney and all things food. When the two topics are brought together in conversation, things get very serious around here. Arguments get heated, friendships are lost, and blood gets spilled. 😉
Mickey Pretzel!
Ok, it’s not that bad. We just know what we like and are very passionate about it! We had a lengthy discussion about what Disney World snacks we’d never eat again. Brace yourselves! Some of our opinions may surprise you.
Sleepy Hollow Refreshments is an iconic spot to grab a quick bite at Disney World, but it’s also the center of a lot of paranormal food activity.

You see, menu items have a way of disappearing and reappearing at this mysterious Magic Kingdom spot A LOT!
Disneyland Resort’s hand-dipped corn dogs are the stuff of legends. Disney Food Blog’s Disneyland correspondent, Heather, recently stopped by Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs in Downtown Disney to give them a try. Here’s what she thought!

First thing to know: since each corn dog is hand-dipped and there’s only one person working in this small booth, service can sometimes be a little slow. But it’s worth the wait if you’re a corn dog fanatic.

has always been the place to get a classic dipped corn dog — and during Pixar Fest, guests can get their corn dog a little on the spicy side! Nope, we’re not talking about the regular hot link corn dog. Nope — storm Corn Dog Castle in Disney California Adventure Park and seize a Spicy Corn Dog! This is a hot link corn dog times a thousand!

We’re gonna go waaaay back today… all the way to 2013 😉 .
That’s the year that Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs arrived — at long last — in Disney World, thanks to the Fantasy Fare Disney Food Truck.
Of course, Disneylanders have a long history with Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs. The Little Red Wagon and Stage Door Cafe in Disneyland Park and Corn Dog Castle in Disney California Adventure long ago elevated the standard theme park/carnival/state fair corn dog to a work of art. An extra-thick layer of corn batter surrounds the hot dog, while the hand-dipped treatment lends a heartier, tastier, more satisfying crunch to the deep-fried golden batter.
Even with that description, it’s still hard to imagine how much this process improves upon your basic corn dog without trying one for yourself.

And now, there is one more spot in Disney World where you can do exactly that. Better yet, it’s in a PARK this time! Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom is now serving Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs!! [Read more…]
There are so many amazing snacks to enjoy within the parks of Walt Disney World! We can all rattle them off — school bread in Epcot, killer mac and cheese in Animal Kingdom, cupcakes everywhere — and so on, and so on.
But what happens if you want to get some crazy good Disney treats — but you don’t have a park ticket? Maybe you’ve gotten to town late, and you don’t want to burn a park day. Or maybe you’re between renewal dates for your pass. Or maybe you’re just wondering about some great treats you haven’t tried yet.
We’re here to help! Because some of our all-time, must-have, super-crave-worthy treats can be found outside of the parks. How amazing is that? And if you love the great suggestions we’re sharing here, be sure to check out the 2019 DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining for even more great snacking tips!
Who doesn’t love Dole Whip? That’s right. Nobody. So we start with the Quintessential Disney Treat — and tell you where to get it outside of Magic Kingdom (and the other parks at which it’s lately started to appear).
