Magic Kingdom is packed with iconic eats, from Dole Whips to churros. But there’s so much more beyond the usual snack suspects.
While everyone’s lining up for the (admittedly amazing) cinnamon roll at Gaston’s Tavern, some seriously underrated treats are flying under the radar. Whether they’re off-menu, tucked away in plain sight, or just overlooked in favor of more “Instagram-famous” bites, Magic Kingdom is hiding some true snack gems. Trust us, you’re probably walking right past them. Here are 7 things you’re not eating at Magic Kingdom that you totally should.
This Secret Menu
The Pão de Queijo — aka Brazilian cheese bread — is available off-menu at Skipper Canteen, and it’s seriously worth asking about. Think of the version you’d find at EPCOT’s Brazil booth during Food & Wine, but with a much more generous portion. You get a full plate of these cheesy bites, served with a rich poblano cream, red pepper flakes, and chimichurri on the side. The portion is perfect for sharing (if you’re feeling generous), but what really sets it apart are the sauces.
Cream Cheese Pretzel
Hidden beneath Tomorrowland’s Astro Orbiter, The Lunching Pad dishes up a surprisingly tasty secret: the Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel. It’s exactly what it sounds like — a soft, breadcrumb-dusted pretzel filled with a ribbon of lightly sweetened cream cheese. This pretzel strikes a perfect balance between salty and sweet. The warm dough and cool, creamy center make for a delightful contrast, and you’ll often find it flying off the shelves midday.
Cold Brew Float
Next time you find yourself wandering through Tomorrowland, make a beeline for Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies and order the Cold Brew Float. For around $6.79, you’ll get soft‑serve ice cream, which you can choose vanilla, caramel, or swirl, and it’s topped with Joffrey’s Cold Brew coffee. The combo of creamy, cold soft‑serve and bold coffee flavor creates a refreshing, lightly caffeinated treat that’s perfect for beating the park heat.
Westward Ho
You have probably walked past this stand in Frontierland a ton, running to your Lightning Lane reservation for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, but you need to STOP at Westward Ho. This stand serves some of our favorite finds in Magic Kingdom, and it also serves breakfast. Most recently, it added a new Mickey-shaped Bacon-Pecan-Caramel Cinnamon Roll. I mean… just look at that!
They also have Candied Bacon Skewers and Jalapeno Poppers here. Did we mention the Frozen Lemonade and Frozen Coca-Cola Slushy here? This place is a must-try for a hearty snack and a cool beverage.
The Tots
At Friar’s Nook, you’ll find the Cheddar, Bacon, and Ranch Tots for breakfast. Once you get done rope-dropping Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, head over here to grab these as a filling breakfast option before hitting more rides.
Columbia Harbour House
We LOVE this quick-service restaurant at Magic Kingdom. Columbia Harbour House serves more than just theme park chicken fingers. For example, one of our favorite things is this Maple-Mustard Glazed Salmon. It’s packed with flavor and gives us a healthier option than just fried food.
Sleepy Hollow Waffles
If you had been mourning the loss of the original Sleepy Hollow waffles, you can head back now! They have changed them (mostly) back to the original ones. The Sweet-and-Spicy Maple Chicken is slightly different now without the slaw. But, it’s closer to the original ones found here.
