But no Disney trip is complete without indulging in some of the park’s most iconic treats and mouthwatering snacks.
However, there are so many options to choose from that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, especially if this is your first visit.
We’ve got you covered, especially when it comes to delicious bites. Here are the must-have snacks and Disney treats for first-time visitors.
Indulge in Cool and Creamy DOLE Whip
You can’t come to Disney and not experience DOLE Whip. It is refreshing and creamy and a must for first-timers!
Disney
One of the most iconic Disney treats, DOLE Whip, is a creamy, pineapple-flavored soft serve that has achieved legendary status and a cult following among Disney fans. In addition to this original flavor, it also comes in raspberry, pineapple, seasonal, and swirl options.
This refreshing delight is perfect for cooling off on a hot day in the park. It is available in a cone, a float, or a specialty sundae.

You can find this treat at Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland, Swirlson the Water in Disney Springs, and other locations across the resort.
MickeyBlog Tip: To avoid long lines, get your DOLE Whip early in the day or during parade times at Magic Kingdom. Another great option? Skip the crowds and visit Pineapple Lanai at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Snack on a Tasty Mickey Pretzel
No trip to Disney is complete without having a Mickey-shaped pretzel. These soft, salty pretzels are great for a quick snack as you explore the parks or make your way from ride to ride.

Mickey Pretzels are available at small carts and kiosks throughout the parks. My favorite way to enjoy this treat is with a side of cheese!
MickeyBlog Tip: On a hot day, pair your Mickey Pretzel with a refreshing frozen lemonade or your favorite beverage to create a perfect snack combo of salty and sweet.
Satisfy a Sweet Tooth With Churros
Crispy on the outside and warm and doughy on the inside, Disney’s churros are a fan favorite and a must-have treat!
S’mores Churro
These delightful bites are dusted with cinnamon and sugar and are available at multiple carts across all four parks and Disney Springs.
In addition to the classic sugar and cinnamon, look for seasonal specialty churros in unique flavors and with sweet dipping sauces, like chocolate or caramel.
MickeyBlog Tip: For the best churro, head to a churro cart just after it opens to ensure a fresh, warm churro. Check My Disney Experience for updated times and offerings.
Indulge on a Turkey Leg
If you’re looking for something heartier and on the savory side, the Disney Turkey Leg is the way to go.
These massive and smoky turkey legs have become an iconic Disney snack available in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.

When you crave protein, head to Liberty Square Market or Prince Eric’s Village Market at Magic Kingdom. If it’s later in the night, Sleep Hallow serves Turkey Legs after 9 PM.
Over at EPCOT, you can find this mouthwatering bite at Fife & Drum Tavern in the World Showcase’s American Adventure.

MickeyBlog Tip: If you’re craving a Turkey Leg but don’t want to head into the parks, you can indulge in this bite from The Smokehouse at House of Blues, too!
Cool Off With a Mickey Ice Cream Bar
The Mickey Ice Cream Bar is a classic Disney treat that’s perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth.
This chocolate-coated vanilla ice cream bar is shaped like Mickey and is found on ice cream carts throughout the parks.
MickeyBlog Tip: Grab the napkins! The chocolate coating melts pretty fast in the Florida heat, so you have to enjoy it fast.
Savor Gaston’s Cinnamon Roll
This treat can be a sweet breakfast or a tasty snack, but one thing is sure! It is delicious!
Located at Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, this massive cinnamon roll is an ooey-gooey treat you don’t want to miss.
Warm Cinnamon Roll
Covered with sweet icing, this roll is large enough to share (or enjoy on your own) and tastes great.
MickeyBlog Tip: If you really like sweets, ask for extra icing to make this indulgent treat even more delightful.
Yum! Whether you’re craving something sweet, savory, hearty, or refreshing, Walt Disney World has a treat for everyone.
For first-time visitors, trying these iconic treats is part of the Disney experience.
Enjoy, and be sure to follow along with MickeyBlog to stay updated on this and all things Disney.
