I have a confession to make. I am a confectionery enthusiast. Not surprisingly, one of my favorite pastimes in Disney World is trying new snacks!
Because menus at Disney change constantly based on the season, holiday, and celebration, there is always something new to explore. Disney is also huge, so there are countless places to try new eats and drinks.
I like to do some research before every trip and pick a few new snacks I’d like to try. Then I can plan my itinerary around this. If there’s something at a table-service restaurant you’re after, you’ll likely want to make reservations ahead.
Spontaneity can be fun as well. While strolling around the parks, you may surprise yourself by finding a random snack you love. So even if you’re in a hurry to get to your next Lightning Lane attraction, don’t forget to check out the snack kiosks you pass by!
While I love that you can always find new sweets to try, I equally love still having my classic go-to snacks.
Here are some favorite desserts from my most recent trips in 2025 and 2026. If you have the Disney Dining Plan, most of them can be used as a snack credit.
MAGIC KINGDOM:
I Lava You Float
Location: Sunshine Tree Terrace in Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom (just look for Orange Bird!)
Cost- $7.59 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
The I Lava You Float is a classic. It is made with DOLE Whip Orange with Fanta Strawberry and Red Passion Fruit Syrup topped with popping candy. The orange, strawberry, and passion fruit flavors are very refreshing and will make you feel like you’re on a tropical island. The fizziness of the Fanta and popping candy give this drink extra zest.
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Location: Aloha Isle in Adventureland in at the Magic Kingdom
Cost- $7.49 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
The cake in this dessert is moist and light, and goes well with any of the DOLE Whip choices. These include pineapple, vanilla, or a swirl of both flavors.
Pinocchio Cookie Tart
Location: Pinocchio Village Haus in Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom
Cost- $6.29 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
This is a tart filled with chocolate ganache and topped with Chantilly Cream, cookie dough crumbles, and a chocolate piece with Pinocchio. The rich chocolate and light cream balance each other, along with the crunchiness of the tart shell and crumble. If you (or your little one) are into Pinocchio, this is an added perk. Who doesn’t love a dessert with one of their favorite characters?!
EPCOT:
Chocolate Ice Cream Crepe
Location: Crepes A Emporter by La Creperie de Paris in the France pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase
Cost- $8.50 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
Chocolate Milkshake
Location: Crepes A Emporter by La Creperie de Paris in the France pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase
Cost- $9.95 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
Vanilla Milkshake
Location: Crepes A Emporter by La Creperie de Paris in the France Pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase
Cost- $9.95 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
You can find Crepes A Emporter La Creperie de Paris tucked in the back of the France pavilion. It sits close to the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction, which takes you through Remy’s kitchen and restaurant and will leave your mouth watering. To satisfy your taste buds, you can grab a savory or sweet crepe, ice cream, or milkshake.
We had the Chocolate Ice Cream Crepe the day we arrived, and it really hit the spot after a long day of travel. The crepe is light and fluffy, and the scoop of ice cream and sugar sprinkled on top add just the right amount of sweetness. You can enjoy them as a snack or light meal.
Both of the milkshakes were smooth and refreshing and a perfect way to cool off on a hot day. Whatever flavor you choose, you can’t go wrong. Chocolate is my go-to flavor, while another person in my group loves vanilla. You can also choose strawberry.
Maple Syrup Popcorn
Location: Canada pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase
Cost- Standard refillable popcorn bucket is $14.29; refills are between $2.25-$2.49, and refills are eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
I stumbled upon this delicious snack by pure luck. When visiting Disney, we always buy a standard refillable popcorn bucket, which costs $14.29. For the length of your stay, the refills cost $2.25-$2.49, which is a bargain if you like popcorn. The traditional popcorn served is a salty, buttery flavor- think movie theater popcorn. However, there are a wide array of other flavors if you know where to go.
I went to have my bucket refilled in the Canada pavilion. When I went to take a bite, I realized it was their fresh Maple Syrup Popcorn. Its sweet flavor and crunchy texture make it a great snack and it was delightful to try something new. When you’re visiting the Canada pavilion, make sure to try some.
HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie
Location: The Trolley Car Cafe on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Studios
Cost- $6.29 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
Traditional carrot cake, meet whoopie pie. The carrot cake is dense and moist. It is perfectly complemented by the thick layer of cream cheese frosting in the middle. It’s a great snack that can also be a breakfast treat. You can pick one up at The Trolley Car Cafe as you’re strolling down Sunset Boulevard to start your day in Hollywood Studios.
Mickey Mouse-shaped Chocolate Chip Cookie
Location: The Trolley Car Cafe on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Studios
Cost- $5.29 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
It’s easy to look at these and think, this is just another chocolate chip cookie. In some respects, it is. However, these are definitely worth trying. They are chewy with big chocolate chunks and will satisfy your chocolate craving as you’re walking through the park. Their Mickey Mouse shape sets them apart from the traditional cookie, which will put a smile on your little one’s (or your) face.
Dad’s Favorite Chocolate-Peanut Butter Layered Cake- $8.00
Location: 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios
Cost- $8.00 and included with meal on the Table-Service Disney Dining Plan
Vanilla Strawberry Shortcake
Location: 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios
Cost- $8.50 and included with meal on the Disney Table-Service Dining Plan
Both of these desserts are served in 50’s Prime Time Cafe. This is a themed table-service restaurant that brings you back to the 1950s with Formica dining tables and television shows like I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show playing on tabletop TVs.
The waiters become your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, and cousin, and, with some humor, make sure you’re following the rules at their table. The meals are homestyle comfort food and can be quite filling, so if you’re planning for dessert, save room!
The chocolate peanut butter cake is rich chocolate cake with creamy chocolate-peanut butter mousse layers, and topped with peanut butter frosting, chocolate candies, and chocolate shavings. It is delicious, and enough for 2 to 3 people to share.
The strawberry shortcake is vanilla cake topped with strawberry compote, whipped cream, and a ginger streusel, served with a strawberry sauce. The cake had a light, spongy texture, with the strawberry compote and whipped cream giving the dessert its classic sweetness.
ANIMAL KINGDOM:
Night Blossom
Location: Pongu Pongu in Pandora at the Animal Kingdom
Cost- $7.29 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
After you ride Flight of Passage and meander through the gift shop full of Banshees and Navi gear, you’ll find Pongu Pongu. It’s a bit tucked away, so don’t worry if it takes you a minute to find it! There you’ll find the Night Blossom. I consider this to be one of the best (non-alcoholic) drinks in Disney, and not just because its presentation is beautiful. This frozen drink has layers of apple and desert pear limeade topped with Boba Balls. Its sweet taste and the texture of the Boba Balls make it very refreshing.
The Yacht & Beach Club Resort:
Double Scoop Sundae with Chocolate and Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Hot Fudge, and Chocolate Sprinkles, and Whipped Cream
Location: The Yacht & Beach Club Resort’s Beaches & Cream Soda Shop To-Go Menu
Cost- around $8.75 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
*I wasn’t able to find the exact item on the menu and used a snack credit.
If you have a sweet tooth and love ice cream, look no further. Beaches & Cream Soda Shop offers some of the best (and most creative) ice cream treats in Disney. You can go to the sit down restaurant or to-go window for ice cream.
I have to confess I went to the to-go window several times for the classic sundae above that did not disappoint. If you have a craving for ice cream, the double scoop sundae is perfect because you can choose 2 flavors and 2 toppings (plus the delicious whipped cream).
If you want to venture further, you can choose from one of the restaurant’s specialty sundaes and shakes, including the No Way Jose, Fudge Brownie Mudslide, and Mickey Confetti Shake.
Lava Smoothie
*There are several locations for this drink and the cost varies slightly at each one. The drink pictured here is at the Yacht & Beach Club Resort.
Location and Cost:
–Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill at The Yacht and Beach Club Resort– $6.29
–Leaping Horse Libations at Disney’s Boardwalk Villas– $5.99
–Barefoot Pool Bar at the Polynesian Village Resort– $6.79
–Courtyard Pool Bar at Disney’s Grand Floridian– $6.79

This delicious drink is made from raspberry puree blended with flavors of coconut and pineapple. This is the perfect frozen beverage when you’re lounging by the pool. The flavors pop out and give smooth, tropical vibes.
If you want the adult version, you can try the Pina CoLAVA, which adds rum.
The Polynesian Village Resort:
DOLE Whip Pineapple Float
*There are several locations for this drink and the cost varies slightly at each one. The drink pictured here is at the Polynesian Village Resort.
Location and Cost:
–Pineapple Lanai at the Polynesian Village Resort– $6.49
–Aloha Isle in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom– $7.29
–Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs– $6.79
*Also eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
DOLE Whip Floats are a classic with DOLE Whip pineapple soft serve and DOLE Whip pineapple juice.
These floats are available at all of the locations above. However, I think my favorite place to have one is at the Polynesian Village Resort, where the picture above was taken. The ambiance at this resort makes this sweet and smooth drink even more satisfying. It can get busy, especially in the evenings, so be sure to get in line when you see a lull.
If you want the adult version, you can order it topped with rum. However, this usually cannot be used as a snack credit.
DISNEY SPRINGS/MARKETPLACE:
Waffle Bowl Sundae
Location: Swirls on the Water Kiosk in Disney Springs/Marketplace
Cost- $6.79 and eligible as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan
DOLE Whip has become one of my favorite treats in Disney over the past few years. You can get DOLE Whip soft serve in different flavors (with the traditional flavor being pineapple), with different toppings, or as a float.
The waffle sundae did not disappoint. The tangy flavor of the orange DOLE Whip and sweetness of the vanilla are a perfect combination. The chocolate sauce, light whipped topping, and crunchy waffle bowl make this sundae complete. This can be shared or eaten alone depending on your appetite.
I shared this with my family for a mid-morning snack and it hit the spot on a hot, humid day in Central Florida. The Waffle Sundae is listed under Limited Time Offerings, as the menu often changes seasonally, so be sure to try one while you can. If you do miss it, though, there are sure to be other equally delicious snacks.
So, there you have it. Sixteen irresistible sweet treats to check out and see what you think. Happy snacking!
