Citrus Swirl — Sunshine Tree Terrace

Don’t love pineapple? No worries, Sunshine Tree Terrace (also in Magic Kingdom) is known for its Citrus Swirl, a delightful blend of vanilla soft serve and orange slushy.

Mickey pretzels are one of many mouse-shaped foods you’ll find around the theme parks. The adorable pretzel is served with a salty cheese dip, perfect for a mid-afternoon snack.

In case you haven’t had your fill of Mickey-shaped snacks, stop by Disney’s Port Orleans Resort for a powdered sugar-covered treat and coffee. 

Cookies — Gideon’s Bakehouse

Cinnamon Roll — Gaston’s Tavern

Start your Magic Kingdom day with a warm, giant cinnamon roll from Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland. It’s sweet, doughy, and delicious, and you can wash it down with LeFou’s Brew (a frozen apple drink) from the same spot. 

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls — Adventureland Cart

When you walk from the Magic Kingdom hub into Adventureland, you’ll pass a snack cart that almost always has a line. This is where you’ll find the cheeseburger spring rolls, which taste a little like a fried Big Mac (in the best way possible).

Fish and Chips — Yorkshire County Fish Shop

Stop for a pint and some fish and chips at this outpost in the United Kingdom section of the World Showcase. You can also enjoy this British speciality at the nearby Rose & Crown Dining Room.
