Unique/Tasty snacks?

[exvagirl]

Going back to WDW in August and wondering about the best snacks in the World? Other than the typical snacks, whats good that isn't usually advertised or sold in every little shop? Just wanting to try some new stuff, thanks! :mickey:

[Patricia]

Other than the usual Dole Whip (Aloha Isle) in the MK, you may want to try a Cream Cheese filled Pretzel from The Launching Pad in Tomorrowland. Corn Dog Nuggets from Casey's Corner or how about Chili Cheese french fries at Friar's Nook? My favorite is the Main Street Bakery for an ice cream sandwich.

If you like it hot, they have the Jalapeno Cheese Pretzels in Animal Kingdom, at the Harambe Fruit Market by Kilimanjaro Safaris.

I love the funnel cakes in Epcot (American pavilion) and the wonderful bakeries tucked in the some of the Countries have the best treats.

If I'm not staying at Port Orleans, I always take the boat ride from DTD to French Quarter to have a coffee and a beignet.

[Goofeygal]

The crapes in France are sooooo good. Or any thing at Kringle Bakery (probably misspelled) in Norway is fantastic.

[WeLuvBuzz]

I could not get enough of the Napoleons in France when we were there 3 weeks ago. DD wants me to call Starring Rolls and get some Butterfinger cupcakes delivered. I can't believe I can't have either until December.

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

I had a delicious jalepeno cheese filled pretzel from a little cart in Animal Kingdom last trip...I looked for these in MK but didn't see them anywhere so I guess they are special to AK

[JPL]

The Frozen Cappucino at Main St Bakery is awesome like a coffee milkshake :tasty:

Cream Cheese and Jalepeno chese filled pretzels.

Anything from the Bakery at Norway washed down with a Viking Coffee!

At AKL Zebra Domes :tasty:

The Cinnamon glazed almonds and Pecans at AK, DHS, and MK!

[Magic Smiles]

I absolutely love the Haystacks from a little bakery somewhere in MK. It is not the main bakery but much further along not far from the shooting gallery. I will hopefully be feasting on one in approx 28 days. :mickey:

[garthbarth1]

We always frequent the shooting gallery! One time we were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves!! So, what is a haystack?? Sounds yummy! :cloud9:

[Auntie B]

Try a carrot cake cookie at the Writers Stop in The Studios. I love, love, love these things - but make sure you have someone to share it with. It is BIG and very sweet!

[snowflakegirl]

I tried the School Bread in Norway for the first time this last trip and absolutely fell in love. Went back on two separate occasions to get more! My boyfriend also tried a few of the other pastries at Kringla Og in Norway and I had a bite of them, they were very good, but other than the Cappucino cake I have no idea what they were.

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

Anything from the caramel shop in Germany. Even my DH who doesn't like caramel corn was blown away!

[AXOAlum]

My fellow Intercotees introduced us to Goofy's Candy Company at DTD a few years back and the yummy "made to order" snacks they have at the shop - our favorite is the marshmallow sticks! Although we were disappointed to find out last trip that you are now limited on how many selections you can make (that's okay - we pulled it together somehow!) lol :mickey:

[Dopey's Girl]

I love the chocolate mousse from the French bakery in Epcot. I have been dreaming of it, and can't wait for my next one in 27 days!

[Jeff]

Funnel cakes from the Sleepy Hollow shop near the bridge going to Liberty Square at the MK.

Cinnamon Funnel Cake
Strawberry Funnel Cake
Powdered Sugar Funnel Cake

I can personally attest to each of these as being fantastic. Also, at Christmas time, they serve a Gingerbread Funnel Cake with Peppermint Ice Cream on it that is worth a trip to Florida all in itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[White Rose]

I'm not sure if you can purchase these with snack credits, but have you checked out the big store with the pick-a-pearl in Japan in Epcot? They have a lot of snacks in there that are exclusive only to Japan and some of them are quite different. I recommend the chocolate filled bears. They are soooooo good.

[DunkieKong]

We always make sure we grab a can of Ucc coffee in Japan. It is cold coffee with milk and sugar and it is delicious. Also in Japan we always buy a bag of candied baby crabs. They are tiny little freeze dried crabs that have a sweet coating on them. They are truely terrible but we always get them and eat about 2 each just to remember how bad they are. They are definitely something to try once.

[Magic Smiles]

A haystack is white chocolate, coconut (I think) and some type of rice krispie cereal would be my guess. mmmmm I can taste it now:cloud9: This store also sells fudge as that is normally what DS gets.

[Melanie]

I tried the School Bread in Norway for the first time this last trip and absolutely fell in love.

I so wanted to like the School Bread, but the shaved coconut was a no-no for me. :( :ack:


I recommend the chocolate filled bears. They are soooooo good.

We used to get these when we lived in Japan. One of my older son's favorites!

I love the fruit tarts you can get at Starring Rolls in DHS, and I've seen them a few other places as well. So good! :tasty:

[Pop Centurion]

Something not mentioned is the Cloudberry Horn at the Kringla Bakery. I tried this from a recommendation I got here on Intercot & it was delicious. Not overly sweet at all which is the problem with many desserts & treats.

The Butterfinger Cheesecake from Sunshine Seasons is one of my favorites in WDW.

Anything else I can think of has already been mentioned

How have i never managed to have one of these? I will make a special point to seek them out in November.

I will try to remember to get the name of the shop that sells them when I am there next month. I could eat them everyday:blush:

[BrerGnat]

LOVE the Butterfinger Cheesecake at Sunshine Seasons!

Also, the Boardwalk Bakery has a cheesecake brownie that is mighty good as well.

[EJS-Houston]

I know this probably isn't what you had in mind, but I love the fresh fruit stands throughout WDW for a snack...especially the Granny Smith apples and the bananas. While not unique, they're always really tasty and satisfying as a snack.

[McLiberal8]

Some of my favorites:

~Kakigori @ Epcot : Japan (Kakigori stand)
(shaved ice with 3 flavors : strawberry, tangerine, and honeydew)

~The almond pretzel @ Epcot : Norway (Bakery)
(a sweet pretzel with icing and hundreds of slivered almonds)

~The cheese plate @ Epcot : France (Patisserie)
(comes with 3 soft cheeses and a baguette)

~The Grand Marnier Orange Slushie @ Epcot : France (wine kiosk)
(If you are over 21!)

~The strawberry shortcake @ Epcot : Sunshine Seasons
(hands down my favorite dessert at WDW)

[jonahbear2006]

[nfrustaci]

ooohhhh grand marnier orange slushie, thank you i'll have another.... I love when it doesn't taste like an adult beverage.

[DunkieKong]

yuck !!! Yuck !! Yuuuuuccccckkkkk!!! Enjoy i am sure there will be plenty of them when you return for your next trip. Lol

I am guessing that your 'yuck' was for the crabs and not the coffee. The coffee really is great.

[nfrustaci]

absolutely the crabs. i enjoy them steamed with a garlic butter dipping sauce or even battered and fried soft shell crab sandwich with tartar sauce.

and as for the coffe, i love coffee it is what i drink in the am and as a pick me up in the afternoon and i always have a cup after dinner.

[KatieDuck22]

frozen chai tea from a coffee cart by Kali River Rapids is awesome!

Dole whips are to die for( in adventureland OR the polynesian's Captain Cooks)

and the norway bakery offers lots of fun cool things you probably couldn't get anywhere else!

[artyboy]

They have a smoked salmon and egg sandwich in the bakery in Norway that (I know it sounds odd) has become one of my favorite snacks! I always get that and a nice glass of cold white wine as an afternoon pick me up at Epcot.

Also, the CS in Morocco will sell you a small portion of olives, which are very tasty.

I like more savory things than sweet...but I thought I should pass these two snacks along.

[EeyoresBestFriend]

The peach Oolong iced tea from the kiosk by China!! :cloud9:

The chocolate mousse of out France for me too!! :thumbsup:

[SandmanGStefani24]

gettin snacky...

1. sushi @ Tokyo Dining. Yes, not exactly a snack but I always eat here as lunch or between lunch and dinner. A sushi sampler and a soup hit the spot on long Epcot runs!

2. hotdogs from the 'Corner. Lots of you have said that they just aren't the same anymore, but who can pass up sitting on the bleachers watching old timey toons with a decent dog? Besides I don't typically eat large meals at MK anyway..

3. Odd/Unknown Candy from WS. Japanese candy with only kanji writing? English or German candy with odd names or descriptions? I say it all sounds good to me!

[That's So Raven]

Mmm...I'm getting some great ideas for new snacks to try when I go next month. I am definitely going to have my funnel cakes (I am a permanent resident at Sleepy Hollow), but it will be good to step outside of my box and try some new and interesting things.

[Magic Smiles]

How have i never managed to have one of these? I will make a special point to seek them out in November.
Just got back from WDW last week and I am sad to inform you that they no longer make Haystacks :( I was so disappointed.

[TinkerbellsMom]

We fell in love with the hot carmel popcorn in Germany last December!! Out of this world - it was so buttery...ummy!!

Other must haves: ham & cheese crousants (can't spell today) at France's bakery, AKL's Zebra Domes, and Mickey bars (they always taste better at the world).

[moe513]

great thread gonna print this and take it on my next trio to wdw.

[JenniferS.]

I have to make a trip every time we go to wdw to Coral Reef for the delicious chocolate dessert they have there. Can't think of the name, but it's the one with the liquid choc. center. It doesn't look like it's on their menu anymore. :( Can anyone confirm that has been recently? It's so yummy.

[Fastpasssteve]

Love the German Chocolate Cookie from the Confectionery on Main Street USA.

Love every cupcake I've ever met.

I really love salty snacks the best in real life...but down in WDW, I tend to err towards the sweeter side.

Oh! Turkey leg...and two friends to help share.

[Disney4]

Also in Japan we always buy a bag of candied baby crabs. They are tiny little freeze dried crabs that have a sweet coating on them. They are truely terrible but we always get them and eat about 2 each just to remember how bad they are. They are definitely something to try once.

LOL! Reminds me of the crunchy seahorse snacks they were selling when I went to Hong Kong. I think I will have to try these - Yuck! :ack:

[Disney4us2]

I loved the carrot cake cookies at DHS.

[DNS]

Try a carrot cake cookie at the Writers Stop in The Studios. I love, love, love these things - but make sure you have someone to share it with. It is BIG and very sweet!
I had one of these only once and fell in love! It is the best treat I have ever had at WDW. Maybe any place. But I check every time and they have not had them since. I would love to have the recipe!

[angyl15]

Cupcakes at Starring Rolls in Hollywood Studios (sandwiches are good here too)

My absolute favorite that I insist anyone I know who goes brings me back is the custom mickey krispy treat from Goofy's Candy Shop in DTD - covered in dark chocolate and mini m&ms!

The ghiradelli hot fudge waffle bowl in DTD is amazing as well.

[steamboat willy]

I had a delicious jalepeno cheese filled pretzel from a little cart in Animal Kingdom last trip.

Gonna try one of these.


I recommend the chocolate filled bears. They are soooooo good.

White Rose, these sound goood. Anything filled with chocolate got to be good.


LOVE the Butterfinger Cheesecake at Sunshine Seasons!

Now that's what I'm talking about.


I love the kaki-gori in japan! ! So sweet and creamy!

Not sure what a kaki-gori is, but I'm game.


Also in Japan we always buy a bag of candied baby crabs. They are tiny little freeze dried crabs that have a sweet coating on them.

Maybe chase it down with some chocolate!


We fell in love with the hot carmel popcorn in Germany! Out of this world - it was so buttery...ummy!!

This would be a good snack while watching Illuminations!

And sharing a Dole Whip under the Swiss Family Treehouse..... yum yum!:cool:

[PlutoPlanet]

After Dole Whip I recommend the caramel corn in Germany at EPCOT.
