If you’re craving a quick bite between rides or need a mid-afternoon energy boost, Walt Disney World has no shortage of snack options—both sweet and savory. Sure, you’ll spot the classics everywhere: Mickey ice cream bars, popcorn buckets, and giant turkey legs are park staples for a reason. But if you're ready to venture beyond the familiar, Disney’s snack game is next-level.


Let’s be real—biting into a Mickey bar on a sweltering Florida afternoon is practically a rite of passage. That creamy vanilla ice cream, the crackle of chocolate, and the sheer joy of that iconic shape? Chef’s kiss. But while we’ll never say no to a classic, there’s a whole world of magical snacks waiting to be discovered across all four theme parks.


🌟 Pixie Dust Pro Tip: If you're using the Disney Dining Plan, many snacks (even some surprising ones!) qualify as snack credits. Want the full scoop? Click here to learn how to snack smart with the Disney Dining Plan.

☕ Where to Get Coffee at Walt Disney World

Need a caffeine fix to keep up with your crew? You’re in luck—Walt Disney World has plenty of coffee options to fuel your day of magic.


Yes, there’s a Starbucks location in each of the four theme parks, plus two in Disney Springs. So if you’re a loyal Starbucks fan, Disney’s got you covered with your usual order (and yes, mobile ordering works at most of them!).


But here’s a little Disney insider tip: the official coffee supplier across Walt Disney World is Joffrey’s. That’s the brew you’ll find at most Disney resort hotels and table service restaurants. And honestly? Some in our group swear it’s better than Starbucks.

You’ll spot Joffrey’s kiosks throughout all the parks, often with shorter lines than their Starbucks counterparts. Whether you’re craving a latte, cold brew, or a seasonal specialty, Joffrey’s makes it easy to grab your caffeine fix without a long wait.


🌟 Pixie Dust Pro Tip: Try one of the park-exclusive drinks at Joffrey’s—you’ll find blends themed to EPCOT festivals, Hollywood Studios, and more!


🗺️ Snack Planning at Walt Disney World

While most Disney snacks are discovered on the go—because let’s face it, hunger hits between Lightning Lanes—a little planning can go a long way. We always carve out time for a few must-have treats that make our Disney trips feel complete.

For our crew, that means a cinnamon roll stop at Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom and a pastry run to Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion. It’s not officially a Disney vacation until we’ve checked both those boxes!


Pixie Dust Pro Tip: Exploring the full range of snack spots around the parks can uncover hidden gems your family will love—so don’t default to the nearest ice cream cart every time. Becoming familiar with the options ahead of time means fewer “hangry” decisions and more magical bites.


Our Favorite Quick-Service Snack Spots Across all Four Parks


Magic Kingdom


Gaston's Tavern at the Magic Kingdom
✨ Gaston’s Tavern

Even if you’re not hungry, Gaston’s Tavern is worth a visit for the ambiance alone. Step inside this cozy corner of Fantasyland and you’ll feel like you’ve walked straight into Beauty and the Beast, complete with Gaston’s oversized chair and a portrait that’s as dramatic as he is.🍽️ Must-Try: The giant warm cinnamon rolls—they’re gooey, shareable, and practically legendary.


🍍 Aloha Isle

Located in Adventureland, Aloha Isle is home to one of the most iconic Disney treats of all time: the DOLE Whip. While the classic pineapple flavor is always a hit, keep an eye out for seasonal swirls and alternate fruit flavors that pop up throughout the year.🍽️ Must-Try: The original pineapple DOLE Whip or a pineapple-vanilla swirl.


🥢 Spring Roll Cart

his fan-favorite cart is easy to miss—it’s usually stationed just outside the entrance to Adventureland and isn’t marked on the park map. When it’s open, though, it’s worth a detour.

🍽️ Must-Try: The cheeseburger spring rolls have a cult following, but other rotating flavors (like pastrami or pepperoni pizza) are just as fun and flavorful.


Epcot

🇳🇴 Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe (Norway Pavilion)

Tucked just left of the Frozen Ever After queue in the Norway Pavilion, Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe is a hidden gem for sweet treats. Lines are usually manageable, and there’s a cozy covered seating area in the back—perfect for a break from the sun

.🍽️ Must-Try: The School Bread—a soft cardamom bun filled with custard and topped with toasted coconut—is a fan favorite and a perfect sugar boost before you circle the World Showcase.


🇫🇷 Crêpes à Emporter (France Pavilion)

Located in the new Ratatouille expansion, this walk-up crêpe window is a fantastic stop for something warm and delicious. Whether you're craving savory or sweet, the menu has a few simple but satisfying options.

🍽️ Must-Try: The hazelnut & chocolate crêpe or ham & cheese—easy to eat on the go or split between bites of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.


🇨🇦 Popcorn Cart (Canada Pavilion)

Yes, popcorn is everywhere at Walt Disney World—but this cart is a standout. While many head to Germany for caramel corn, don’t skip the Maple Popcorn in Canada!

🍽️ Must-Try: Maple Popcorn—it’s lightly sweet, perfectly crunchy, and makes for a great snack while watching the Canada Far and Wide film or enjoying the nearby gardens.


🇲🇽 Choza de Margarita (Mexico Pavilion)

Most guests come here for the margaritas—and with good reason—but we’re here to hype up the guacamole. Topped with fresh mango and crunchy pumpkin seeds, it’s flavorful, refreshing, and easily shareable.

🍽️ Must-Try: The Guacamole with Mango and Pumpkin Seeds—a snack that’s as Instagrammable as it is tasty.

Snack from Festival of the Arts at EPCOT

🎉 EPCOT Festival Food Booths

One of the best parts of visiting EPCOT is the almost year-round rotation of seasonal festivals, each bringing a fresh lineup of global food booths and tasting menus. Unless you happen to visit during one of the rare in-between weeks, you’ll find dozens of outdoor kitchens offering bite-sized dishes, creative drinks, and plenty of plant-based, gluten-free, and kid-friendly options.

We won’t narrow it down to just one recommendation—because the offerings change with each festival, and honestly, there’s something for every palate. From savory small plates to decadent desserts, exploring the booths is one of our favorite ways to snack around the park.

Hollywood Studios

☕ Trolley Car Café (Starbucks)

Located right on Hollywood Boulevard, this is the park’s Starbucks location, so it often draws a crowd—especially in the morning. But here’s the real reason we swing by: the Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie.

🍽️ Must-Try: The Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie is soft, spiced, cream-filled perfection and worth every minute of the wait.


🌌 Kat Saka’s Kettle (Galaxy’s Edge)

Popcorn fans, this one’s for you. Found in the Black Spire Outpost of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Kat Saka’s Kettle serves up galactic takes on a theme park staple.

🍽️ Must-Try: The Outpost Popcorn Mix, a colorful blend of sweet and spicy flavors with a crunchy texture. You can also grab a green butter-flavored popcorn and one of the collectible orb bottled sodas for a fun Star Wars-y treat.

Specialty Pop-tart at Woody's Lunch Box

🧁 Woody’s Lunch Box (Toy Story Land)

Technically a quick-service dining location, Woody’s also serves up some top-tier snackable treats.

🍽️ Must-Try: The Lunch Box Tarts, available in raspberry or chocolate-hazelnut, are fun, flaky, and just the right size for a quick sugar boost. Want something savory instead? The Totchos (tater tot nachos) are a fan-favorite and easy to share.


Animal Kingdom

Specialty Drink at Animal Kingdom

☕ Creature Comforts (Starbucks)

Animal Kingdom’s Starbucks location is tucked along Discovery Island, and it’s easily one of the smoothest Starbucks experiences on property. Even when there’s a line, it tends to move quickly—making it a great stop for your morning (or mid-day) caffeine fix.

🍽️ Must-Try: The Mickey Colossal Cinnamon Roll—a giant, Mickey-shaped swirl of cinnamon goodness that’s perfect for sharing… or not.


🥐 Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery (Africa)

If you’re exploring the Africa section of the park—or just want to skip the Starbucks line—Kusafiri is a fantastic alternative for both sweet and savory snacks.
