Nine Snacks You Have to Try at Disney Springs

The food at Walt Disney World is a huge draw for some guests, but not all the best food is just in the Parks. If you want to dine at Walt Disney World without a Park ticket, there are tons of great options — most notably in Disney Springs.

Disney Springs is a haven for some great snacks that have become must-try bites for Disney World food fans.

Next time you find yourself in Disney Springs, here are some of our favorite snacks that you have to try.

Macarons, Amorette’s Patisserie

Everything at Amorette’s Patisserie is delicious, and this was one of the toughest decisions we had to make for this list. So we cheated and picked the Macarons, that way you can try a variety of flavors at once. The flavors that they usually have are Pistachio, Espresso, Caramel Sea Salt, Chocolate, and Passion Fruit. Each order comes with five individual Macarons, so you can share them. Or not.

Chicken Tenders with Dipping Sauces, Chicken Guy

When Guy Fieri brought a piece of Flavortown to Disney Springs he gave us a wonderful sauce-covered gift. Chicken Guy is a great place to get a quick chicken snack, with the Tenders coming in three-piece and five-piece options. But the real magic is the two sauces per order. The chicken is always the same delicious chicken, but there are twenty different house-made sauces to try. If you need a quick savory snack, stop by Chicken Guy.

Banana Cupcake, Sprinkles

After all that chicken what would really hit the spot are some cupcakes, specifically the Banana Cupcakes from Sprinkles. Sprinkles is a cupcake bakery in Disney Springs that has tons of delicious flavors, including some seasonal flavors that only last for a short period of time. The Banana Cupcake is one of our favorites. It is a banana cake topped with vanilla, chocolate, or peanut butter frosting — and it’s always a good idea.

Canadian Poutine, The Daily Poutine

Sometimes you just need a big heaping pile of fries, gravy, and cheese. The Daily Poutine has a variety of options on its menu, and the Quick Service spot typically has a seasonal flavor or two. But there is something about the Classic Poutine that is wonderful and worth ordering. The Classic Poutine is French fries smothered in brown gravy, and cheese curds. But if you’re sharing with a friend, get a couple types.

Dipped Churro, Sunshine Churros

It wouldn’t be a trip to Disney World without some classic theme park fare like a churro, but the churros at Sunshine Churros offer something a little beyond the normal ones. The Dipped Churro at Sunshine Churros come in two different flavors, but our favorite is the Nutella Dipped Churro. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds.

Air Pirate’s Pretzel, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar

Time for another savory snack worth stopping for in Disney Springs, and this is also an excuse to head into a great bar. Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is a bar themed after Indiana Jones’ pilot, Jock Lindsey. Here there are all kinds of delicious snacks and drinks, but one of our favorites is the Air Pirate’s Pretzel. This is a massive soft pretzel with a spicy German mustard and a beer-cheese fondue. If you want to go really big, get the pretzel loaded with charcuterie!

Chocolate Chip Cookie, Gideon’s Bakehouse

A newer but iconic Disney Springs treat is over at Gideon’s Bakehouse. While you can’t go wrong with any of their rotating flavors, we highly recommend grabbing a classic chocolate chip cookie, especially if it’s your first visit. Pro tip: visit during Hot Cookie Hour (2-3PM and 7-8PM) to get a warm Gideon’s cookie with a scoop of ice cream!

Mickey Cookie Bubble Waffle Sundae, Marketplace Snacks

They are exactly what they sound like: a waffle that is made up of bubbles instead of the regular waffle structure. There are several different bubble waffle options at Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs, but we recommend the Mickey Cookie Waffle Sundae. This treat is a bubble waffle topped with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, cookie crumbles, and white chocolate crisp pearls. But honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the choices here!

Dole Whip Flight, Swirls on the Water

It wouldn’t be a list of Disney snacks if we didn’t include the Dole Whip. You can pick up this classic frozen dessert in a flight to try several different flavors at Swirls on the Water. If you’re looking for a unique twist on an iconic Disney snack during your visit to the Springs, this is it.

We can’t get enough all of the snacks in Disney World. If only we had more time to eat them all.
