The 4 Best Foods at Walt Disney World

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GCSU chapter.

As a self-proclaimed “Disnerd” (to use a Zachary Levi term), I know my way around a Disney menu. Like other Disney guests, I’ve discovered my favorite park foods over the years. Here are the four best foods that The Most Magical Place On Earth has to offer (in my humble opinion). I apologize if you read this while waiting for lunch. 

1. Corn Dog Nuggets

These tiny bites of heaven hail from Casey’s Corner, located in the Magic Kingdom. These mini corn dogs are perfectly bite-sized, ideal for a quick snack while watching a parade on Main Street, USA. Any corn dog nugget enthusiast can assure you that one bite will leave you hooked. 

2. Citrus Swirl 

The Citrus Swirl is the lesser known cousin to the Dole Whip. There’s a lot of debate about which is better, but I personally love the Citrus Swirl. It’s a swirled combination of vanilla soft serve and orange slush, which compliment each other so well. This delicious Disney dessert can be found at the Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland, also home to its mascot, the Orange Bird. 

3. Nutella and Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich 

Of all the waffle concoctions that Magic Kingdom’s Sleepy Hollow offers, this one is the most spectacular. It’s so simple, yet so delicious: a giant Belgian waffle spread with Nutella and then stuffed with blueberries, bananas, and strawberries.   

4. Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar

Ah, the quintessential Mickey-shaped food. This is possibly the most iconic ice cream in Walt Disney World. It’s pretty standard fare, with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate coating, but everyone knows that food shaped like Mickey Mouse is automatically more delicious.
