When it comes to snacking at Magic Kingdom, the options are as endless as the pixie dust.
From iconic churros and buttery popcorn to Dole Whip and giant Mickey pretzels, there’s a treat around every corner ready to fuel your day of magic. With so many choices, it can be hard to pick a favorite, but there’s one snack I find myself craving every single visit. It’s simple, customizable, and delivers that perfect mix of warm and cold, soft and creamy. Let me introduce you to one of our favorites!
Tucked away on Main Street, U.S.A., the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor serves up one of the most underrated — but crave-worthy snacks in Magic Kingdom. It’s the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich. Technically $7.49, but this treat is a total classic. Two large chocolate chip cookies sandwich a generous scoop of your favorite hand-scooped ice cream. Flavors range from the always-popular Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cookies ‘n Cream, to fruity No Sugar Added Raspberry Sorbet and refreshing Mint Chocolate Chip. It’s customizable, nostalgic, and a perfectly shareable pick-me-up during a hot park day or a personal indulgence you won’t want to split.
What makes this snack a must-try is how often Disney gives it a seasonal twist. During Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we’ve seen spooky versions with festive sprinkles and chocolate cookies. In 2024, the holiday season brought a peppermint version during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Whether you grab the classic or a limited-time version, this is one snack that always hits the spot and has earned a permanent spot on my must-eat list every time I’m in the park.
If there is a line at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, we think it’s worth the wait! Beyond the taste, there’s just something magical about enjoying this treat while sitting at one of the tables outside of the Plaza, soaking in the view of Cinderella Castle. It’s simple, nostalgic, and feels like pure Disney joy in dessert form. Whether you’re cooling off in the Florida heat or just treating yourself after a long day of rides and character hugs, the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich is a sweet moment worth savoring every single trip.
