I Hate To Say It, But I’m Pretty Sure This Is the WORST Snack at Magic Kingdom


Recommended Posts

Okay, we like to talk a LOT about our favorite — and some of the best — snacks in Disney World.

Magic Kingdom

How many times will we talk about Corn Dog Nuggets, or Mini Corn Dogs, or whatever Disney is calling them these days? A LOT (especially mentioning that plastic CHEEEEEESSSEEE). We’re also super big fans of Totchos and mention them A LOT. However, we’re going to turn things around for a bit as we head on over to Magic Kingdom. Sorry to get negative here, but we’re going to tell you about the WORST snacks available at Magic Kingdom. Basically, though, we’re just warning you, so you’ll know better.

We’ll warn you now: Magic Kingdom may be our least favorite park when it comes to food, so it may seem like we’re picking on it, and maybe we are. With that being said, here are the WORST snacks in Magic Kingdom.

Waffle snacks at Sleepy Hollow

So here’s the thing: Sleepy Hollow used to have our FAVORITE snacks because they had these delicious waffle sandwiches: one savory with a spicy chicken and another with fruit and chocolate-hazelnut spread. Then, Disney did the unthinkable: they changed the waffles AND the menu. What was once our favorite thing is now one of our least favorite things. The new waffles are Mickey-shaped, and while that’s often a good thing, the new waffles are completely different.

Fruit Mickey Waffle

The old waffles were soft and crispy. The new waffles are almost pancake-like and once all the toppings get added, they get all soggy and gross. We’re not sure why Disney thought this was a good idea, but we’re still begging for the old waffles to come back (hey, it worked with the Hush Puppies at Columbia Harbour House, so we have hope).

Turkey leg

Turkey legs are gross. There, we said it. Sure, some people think they might be fun to carry around, but at the same time, they just aren’t a snack we’re going to voluntarily eat. They are smoky and meaty, but they’re also salty, greasy, and grisly. Ew. This is one snack you’ll never convince us to like.

Turkey Leg

The thing is — we rarely see people walking around Magic Kingdom with one of these things, so why are they still available? We guess SOMEONE is ordering them, and if it’s you, we’re sorry because we don’t agree with your snack choices.

Plant-based Cheese Pizza at Pinocchio Village Haus

Over at Pinocchio Village Haus, you can get a plant-based “cheese” pizza. But trust us, you don’t want to. It’s a regular pizza topped with tomato sauce and plant-based cheese. It might as well be a microwave pizza and the “cheese” is weird because the consistency is more like a melty cream cheese.

Does this look appetizing to you?

The crust is also thin and chewy, and when we tried it, we even tried to doctor it up with barbecue sauce and red pepper flakes. But there’s no hope for this snack. There are better plant-based options in the parks, so we’ll always tell, you to skip this one.

Mickey Cereal Treat with Freeze-Dried SKITTLES at Main Street Confectionery

Okay, Disney is suddenly OBSESSED with putting freeze-dried Skittles on everything, and we’re not sure why. Maybe there’s a kid in charge of the menu or something…who knows? Anyway, the Mickey Crispy Treat dipped in white chocolate with freeze dried Skittles was a HUGE mistake.

Would you try this treat?

Admittedly, it looked kinda’ cool, but flavor-wise? These are flavors that don’t work well together. Separately, maybe? Together? NO WAY.

Pork Carnitas Rice Bowl at Pecos Bill

Pecos Bill has been going downhill in the food department for a while now. We’re not big fans of much of the menu here, but the Pork Carnitas Rice Bowl is particularly bad. It’s made with cilantro rice topped with seasoned pork, grilled peppers and onions, pinto beans, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and salsa. You’d think it would be loaded with flavor, but the meat isn’t seasoned well AT ALL and some of the pieces are fatty. YUCK.

Pork Carnitas Rice Bowl

That’s not all, though. It’s served with pinto beans, which are kinda’ boring. The cilantro rice has zero cilantro flavor and the last time we ordered this bowl, much of our rice was undercooked.

So with all that being said, Magic Kingdom really needs to step up its snacks game. As we said, the potential is there, but something has got to give with the current menus.
