When visiting the Disney World Resort, the rules dictate you suspend reality. That includes not counting calories while enjoying Disney’s best snacks. Today, we will look at the best snacks in Magic Kingdom.
From cheeseburger spring rolls to citrus swirl dole whip, I don’t recommend reading this article if you’re even remotely hungry. I will admit that I plan my trips around the opening times of places like Casey’s Corner for those crunchy corn dog nuggets. Is anyone hungry yet?
Visiting Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is an enchanting experience for all. And I’m not just talking about the thrilling rides (looking at you, Tron), fantastic shows, or even the breathtaking fireworks at the end of the night – I’m talking about all the delicious snacks!
Below, you will find some of the best Magic Kingdom snacks, including what section of the park you can find them in and how much they cost. Starting in Main Street, U.S.A., locations are listed clockwise on a fun park trip.
