If you’re planning your 2026 Disney World trip, you’re probably thinking about Lightning Lanes, Dining Reservations, and, if you’re like us, daydreaming about what the best snacks to grab on your trip.

When you come to the Disney World parks in 2026, you’re going to want to get the best value for your dollar. And, yes, that goes for the Disney World snacks, too. There are THOUSANDS of snacks to choose from around the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs, and while many will be a good deal, not all have the flavor behind them. Today, we’re breaking down the best snacks this year. 

1. Doughnuts

A doughnut is the ultimate triple-threat: snack, dessert, and breakfast all rolled into one. And Disney World does doughnuts right.

Classic: Mickey Beignets

We’re counting these. And honestly? You probably do too. Mickey Beignets from Scat Cat’s Club Café at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter are golden, fluffy pillows of fried dough absolutely buried in powdered sugar, and somehow they taste even better because they’re Mickey-shaped. You can order them in their classic powdered sugar form or opt for the rotating seasonal flavor, which changes throughout the year and gives repeat visitors something new to try.

New: Everglazed

Everglazed Doughnuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs is the spot for gourmet doughnuts in every form imaginable. While some flavors stay year-round, many rotate frequently, so there’s always something new. The DFB team favorites include the Nutella Boston Cream, the Icon Donut (a classic glazed doughnut dipped in Everglazed’s signature blue glaze), and the cold brew “toppers,” which literally come with a doughnut perched on top of your drink. Coffee and doughnuts? Say less.

2. A Unique Take on a Hot Dog

Why eat a normal hot dog when Disney World insists on making you question everything you thought you knew about hot dogs?

Classic: Ronto Wrap

The iconic Ronto Wrap from Ronto Roasters in Disney’s Hollywood Studios may sound like a space hot dog, but it’s also wildly delicious. It’s made with roasted pork, grilled pork sausage, tangy slaw, and peppercorn sauce, all wrapped in warm pita bread. It’s filling enough to be a full meal, even though we still call it a “snack.” Just note: Ronto Roasters closes at 3PM, but Docking Bay 7 takes over selling the classic wrap later in the day.

New: Anything from Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs

Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs has completely redefined what a corn dog can be. The Pickle Dog (a hot dog wrapped in a dill pickle, battered, fried, and served with peanut butter dipping sauce) is always available, along with the Mexican Street Dog topped with garlic mayo, cotija, corn, cilantro, and lime. And if you’re feeling brave, their rotating specialty items, like the salmon corn dog, keep things interesting. Bonus tip: if Deep Fried Hawaiian Rolls are on the menu, order them immediately. No questions asked.

3. Cookies

If you want cookies, Disney World understands the assignment.

Classic: Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies

Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs continues to dominate the cookie scene with massive, half-pound cookies baked fresh daily. Classic flavors like Chocolate Chip, Cookies and Cream, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Pistachio Toffee Chocolate Chip are always available, while monthly rotating flavors keep things exciting. Gideon’s also offers limited-time cold brews, hot cookie hours, sunset-only cookies, and even secret cake slices that require a password dropped on social media.

New: Cookie Croissant

The Cookie Croissant at Contempo Café in Disney’s Contemporary Resort takes things to another level. It’s a warm, flaky croissant filled with chocolate chip cookie dough, topped with powdered sugar and milk chocolate drizzle, and yes, it’s served warm. It’s indulgent in the best possible way.

4. Cookie Sandwiches

Two cookies. Frosting in the middle. Enough said.

Classic: Carrot Cake Cookie

The Carrot Cake “Cookie” (technically a whoopie pie) from Trolley Car Café in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been a longtime favorite. Though it’s evolved over the years, the soft carrot cake layers and cream cheese frosting still make this one of the most beloved cookie sandwiches on property.

New: Rotating Karamell-Küche Cookie Sandwiches

Karamell-Küche in EPCOT is always dangerous, in the best way. Their rotating caramel cookie sandwiches have included snickerdoodle, gingerbread, and even a carrot cake version. The common denominator? Salted caramel buttercream that steals the show every time.

5. EPCOT Festivals

EPCOT festivals are snack heaven. With Festival of the Arts, Flower & Garden, Food & Wine, and Festival of the Holidays, you’ll always find returning favorites paired with brand-new booths and menu items. Festival food is limited-time by nature, so if something catches your eye, order it while you can. We’ll always break down the must-eat festival snacks when each event launches.

6. Cheesy Fries

Cheese + fries = happiness.

Classic: AJ’s “Birthday Fries”

Officially called French Fries with Pulled Pork and Cheese from Flame Tree Barbecue, these fries are loaded with pulled pork, barbecue sauce, and plastic cheese goodness. Bonus points if you eat them near the water with a view of Expedition Everest.

New: Bottomless Truffle Fries

During Martini Hour at Summer House on the Lake in Disney Springs (Monday–Friday, 3–6PM), you can order bottomless truffle fries for $10. Thin, crispy fries paired with parmesan and an absolutely addictive truffle aioli make this one of the best deals on property.

7. Cheesecake

Disney cheesecake deserves more respect.

Classic: Tie-Dye Cheesecake

The Tie-Dye Cheesecake is found at Everything Pop Food Court in Disney’s Pop Century Resort. This psychedelic cheesecake sits on a red velvet cake base and tastes just as good as it looks.

New: Seasonal Cheesecake Pops

Flame Tree Barbecue has introduced rotating cheesecake pops, including pumpkin in the fall and cranberry-cherry during the holidays. Keep an eye on the menu because these flavors change often.

8. Buffalo Chicken

Buffalo sauce lovers, Disney World sees you.

Classic: Buffalo Chicken Waffle Bowl

Fairfax Fare’s Buffalo Chicken Waffle Bowl is filled with buffalo chicken, coleslaw, and mashed potatoes. Spicy, crunchy, creamy, and honestly, this snack checks every box.

New: Buffalo Chicken Tenders

Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe has Buffalo Chicken Strips that are coated in zippy sauce and ranch seasoning. Other upgraded chicken tenders across property include lemon pepper parmesan, jerk BBQ, and seaside-style versions.

9. Peanut Butter

Peanut butter fans, this one’s for you.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Pie Cup

At The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, this mousse-filled cup tastes like an oversized Reese’s cup. We’re talking gooey, rich, and topped with edible glitter because Disney.

10. Grown-Ups Only (21+)

Dessert…with benefits.

Classic: Ice Cream Martini

L’Artisan des Glaces in EPCOT offers ice cream martinis made with your choice of liqueur and ice cream flavors. And yes, the Croque Glacé deserves a shoutout too, which is a warm brioche with cold ice cream.

New: Nightwraith Blaze

Available at Pongu Pongu, this non-alcoholic slushy blends blood orange, lychee, and wildberry with glow cubes and popping pearls. Boozy and non-boozy versions both exist, so you can choose your adventure.

11. Dole Whip

A Disney staple that never stops evolving.

Classic: Dole Whip Float

Pineapple Dole Whip swirled into pineapple juice from Aloha Isle remains undefeated. Our favorite is the Tropical Serenada.

New: Dole Whip Flights

Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs lets you sample three rotating Dole Whip flavors at once. This is perfect for indecisive snackers.

12. Soft Pretzels (Beyond Mickey)

There are better pretzels than the Mickey-shaped ones.

Classic: Stuffed Pretzel with Sweet Cream Cheese

Found at various locations, this pretzel is doughy, sweet, and surprisingly filling.

New: Pretzel Nuggets with Beer Cheese

Block & Hans in EPCOT serves soft pretzel nuggets with BBQ seasoning and house-made beer cheese. One cup of cheese is never enough, so plan accordingly.

13. Cheese-Stuffed Snacks

More cheese. Always more cheese.

Classic: Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites

Wine Bar George’s golden nuggets of mac and cheese are available via their to-go window, The Basket.

New: Arepas

Over at the Smiling Crocodile in Animal Kingdom, you’ll find cheese-stuffed arepas, pulled pork, or pulled chicken, which are flavorful, melty, and only available from 11AM–3PM.

14. Bacon

Sweet. Savory. Perfect.

Classic: Candied Bacon Skewer

Westward Ho’s thick-cut bacon on a stick coated in brown sugar has been a fan favorite for years.

New: Mickey Bacon-Pecan-Caramel Cinnamon Roll

Also at Westward Ho, there is a Mickey-shaped roll that combines caramel, bacon, and pecans for a sweet-and-savory win. It is only available for breakfast, so be sure to grab it first thing!

15. Cinnamon Rolls

Disney does cinnamon rolls big.

Classic: Gaston’s Tavern Cinnamon Roll

Y’all already know that we love this Cinnamon Roll at Gaston’s. It’s huge, gooey, icing-loaded perfection. But don’t forget our trick, to ask for extra icing to really take this thing up a notch.

New: Orange Cream Cheese Cinnamon Roll

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe’s citrusy twist adds a bright, creamy layer that sets it apart.

16. DFB’s Clashing Recommendations

Different tastes = better recommendations.

AJ’s Favorites

A few of AJ’s favorites are the School Bread from Kringla, Pongu Lumpia from Pandora, and hushpuppies from Columbia Harbour House.

For Breea, she raves about mousse desserts across the property and the plant-based Zucchi Wrap from Ronto Roasters.
