I love visiting Walt Disney World to ride the Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom or Epcot to see Captain EO. But I really love visiting Walt Disney World for the food! And more specifically, for the the treats. All around Walt Disney World sweet treats abound and here are my top ten treats from Walt Disney World.Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bar
The classic Walt Disney World treat, the Mickey Mouse bar is available all around Walt Disney World. From food carts in the them parks to the food courts in the hotels, a Mickey Mouse bar is never far away.
Dole Whip
No trip is complete to the Magic Kingdom for me unless I’ve visited the Aloha Isle stand in Adventureland for a Dole Whip. What is a Dole Whip you ask? I’m not entirely sure. It’s like an ice cream or frozen yogurt but I do know it is a non-dairy, pineapple flavored, and it’s heavenly.
Turkey Legs
When I’m in Frontierland I can’t pass the turkey leg stand without contemplating buying one of these delicious treats. These giant turkey legs are big and could actually replace a meal (and where are these giant turkeys because must be huge to have legs so big!). And it’s entertaining, in a primitive sort of way, to see people walking around with turkey leg in hand gnawing at them.
Egg Rolls
No trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom would be complete for me without an egg roll from the egg roll cart located between the Flights of Wonder show and Africa. Poking my head inside this fragrant food cart to order and egg roll is heavenly (actually, I don’t think you’re supposed to poke your head inside but I can’t help myself). In fact, last time I was at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and had an egg roll I asked the girl working the cart how she can work in there for eight hours a day and not eat every single last egg roll!
Anything from the French Bakery at Epcot
The official name of the bakery is Boulangerie Pâtisserie, but I only just learned that. After years of going to the hidden treasure in Epcot’s French pavilion, I’ve never lingered outside long enough to look at the name.
Kinley Lemon
At Epcot’s Club Cool, guests can sample (for free!) different Coke products from around the world. There are different fizzy drinks to sample, but my favorite is the Kinley Lemon from Israel. If you visit Club Cool, be sure to try the Beverly, too. It’s delicious so take a big gulp of it!
Kaki-Gori
In Epcot’s Japan pavilion you’ll find the Kaki-Gori cart serving up, of course, Kaki-Gori. It’s a snow cone with your choice of strawberry, honeydew, or tangerine flavored toppings (or all three!).
Churros
A sweet, sugary doughy treat, a churro will always satisfy my sweet tooth (at least for a few minutes). And they’re sold in the Magic Kingdom from a cart in Frontierland and at the Cantina de San Angel restaurant in Epcot’s Mexico pavilion so one is never far away.
Cookies from the Main Street Bakery
If you’ve ever visited the Magic Kingdom you know about the Main Street Bakery. Even if you didn’t go inside to enjoy of of the bakery’s sweet treats, you certainly smelled the fresh baked cookies. Disney pumps the smell of fresh baked cookies out onto Main Street to lure passers-by in to the bakery (and I always fall for it!).
Popcorn
Okay, so popcorn is nothing special. But the popcorn at Walt Disney World just seems to taste better than popcorn I get elsewhere. It’s yellow and salty and reminds me of trips to Walt Disney World when I was a kid. Plus, you can get it in some great souvenir buckets. I love getting it from the popcorn cart with the toy clown turning the popcorn (at the end of Main Street by Cinderella Castle).
