12 of My Favorite Snacks Under $10, From a Former Disney World Cast Member


Recommended Posts

You’ve been having the time of your life at Disney World, but then you start to feel your tummy rumble, and you know you don’t have much time before it turns hangry. And your tummy doesn’t want just anything. No. It wants a yummy snack for less than $10.

Sure, Disney food can get on the expensive side, but there is SO much food that is available at a more reasonable price. That’s why I am sharing my 12 favorite Disney World snacks that will cost you less than $10.

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Before we get too far into this list, I want to emphasize that these are my personal favorites, and just because I like them doesn’t automatically mean everyone will. I have eaten lots and lots of Disney food, and I would like to think this list is a pretty good representation of some delicious, inexpensive snacks. If there is something you love that I didn’t include, we would love to hear from you in the comments!

Magic Kingdom

Hushpuppies from Columbia Harbour House ($4.99)

These are one of my favorite snacks to get in Magic Kingdom for several reasons. One is that they are super tasty! Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with lots of corn flavor. I personally love grabbing a container of honey mustard to dip them in, but that is optional.

Hushpuppies

Reason number two is that these hushpuppies give me a reason to stop by Columbia Harbour House for a quick break. Head up the stairs for additional air-conditioned seating. If you are lucky, you can even grab a seat that overlooks Magic Kingdom for some wonderful people-watching. 

Pepper Jack Pretzel from Cheshire Cafe ($7.99)

This Pepper Jack Pretzel takes pretzels to the next level, and I am here for it! Just imagine a pretzel stuffed with gooey pepper jack cheese, and you are imagining this snack. They are addictive and delicious.

If you are looking for a stuffed pretzel with a sweet filling, the Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel from The Lunching Pad is also fantastic!  

Ham and Gruyere Tart from Gaston’s Tavern ($9.49)

What’s not to love about this tart? It is full of carbs, cheese, and finished off with some ham. While it is on the higher side as far as price goes, I am a massive fan of this snack.

Ham and Gruyere Tart

It is a good portion, so it will help curb that hunger for quite a bit! You can pair it with the Crème Brûlée Croissant for a bit of sweet and savory action.

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls from the Spring Roll Cart ($9.50)

We talk about these spring rolls A LOT here at DFB, and there’s a reason. These little nuggets of happiness are wonderful; I just wish they were cheaper. The spring roll is filled with a beefy blend that mimics a cheeseburger, and then you get a dipping sauce similar to a Big Mac sauce.

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls

You can also grab Pepperoni Pizza Spring Rolls, but I think the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls are better. I always have a bit of a hard time with the price as it is steep, but they really are delicious!

Orange Cream Soft-serve Cup from Sunshine Tree Terrace ($5.29)

I know, I know, how could the Orange Cream Soft-serve make the list but not DOLE Whip!? DOLE Whip is tasty, but if I had to choose, I would go for the Orange Cream Soft-serve Cup 9 out of 10 times.

Orange Cream Soft-serve Cup

Something about the combination of the fresh orange flavor and the creamy vanilla is just SO good. I can’t guarantee that everyone will like the Orange Cream better than the DOLE Whip, but maybe give both a try and see which one you like better.

The Best $5 Treat in Magic Kingdom

EPCOT

Caramel Apple Butter Bar from Karamell-Küche ($5.79)

We talk a lot about the Caramel Butter Bar here at DFB, but I think the Caramel Apple Butter Bar is an amazing remix of the classic treat. This bar has everything there is to love about the Caramel Butter Bar, with the addition of apple.

2024-wdw-epcot-karamel-kuche-caramel-app

Caramel Apple Butter Bar

It is full of buttery goodness, silky caramel, and just the right amount of apple flavor. The crumble-like topping on the top is the perfect finishing touch! I have seriously had dreams about this treat. While I included this snack as being from Karamell-Küche, you can also find it over in Big Top Sounveirs in Magic Kingdom! 

Macaroni & Cheese from Regal Eagle Smokehouse ($4.99)

I am a sucker for cheese. Especially if the cheese in question is macaroni & cheese. While I will eat pretty much any macaroni & cheese put in front of me, there are a few places in Disney World with way better mac & cheese. One of those places is Regal Eagle Smokehouse.

Macaroni & Cheese

I love their mac and cheese. It is cheesy and gooey without being soupy. Plus, they sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a fantastic crispy texture. And, you can make it even better by grabbing some of the BBQ sauces to put on top. They add lots of yummy flavor and you can mix and match to your taste preferences!

Quiche Lorraine from Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie ($7.25)

Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie has a lot of great options for under $10. One of my favorites is the Quiche Lorraine, but take some time to look at the other options while you are in line. The Quiche Lorraine is a great-sized snack filled with ham and gruyere.

I love the flaky crust and the cheesy filling. Plus, I think ham and gruyere are a winning combination. It is a great deal too!

Pastry Assortment from Oasis Sweets & Sips ($6.75)

At Oasis Sweets & Sips, you can choose from various Moroccan pastries. For just $6.75, you can choose three of them! (Or if you are especially hungry, you can grab more.) Some of my favorites include the Pistachio Baklava, Flogeres, and the Kataifi, but you really can’t go wrong with any of the pastries.

Also, the Frozen Mint Tea at Oasis Sweet & Sips is one of my favorite drinks in EPCOT. You can get it with or without alcohol, depending on your mood!

3 EPCOT Restaurants the Experts Refuse to Book

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Barbacoa Beef on Baked Macaroni & Cheese at Eight Spoon Cafe ($7.29)

We are back with some more macaroni & cheese! We are at Eight Spoon Cafe this time for their Barbacoa Beef Macaroni & Cheese. There is so much to love about this dish. The cheesy macaroni, the creamy sauce, the crunchy fried onions, and the tender barbacoa beef. 

2024-wdw-dak-eight-spoon-cafe-barbacoa-b

Barbacoa Beef on Baked Macaroni & Cheese

This dish has so much flavor, and you will be ready for your next Animal Kingdom adventure. If you are looking for another delicious macaroni and cheese option in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, I am a HUGE fan of the Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork from Flame Tree BBQ. Get it with a side of cornbread for even more deliciousness. However, the macaroni and cheese costs $12.99, so I couldn’t officially include it.

The Most Expensive Restaurant in Animal Kingdom You Should SKIP (and the One You’ve Gotta Try)

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Arugula Farro Salad from ABC Commissary ($4.29)

If you are looking for something that includes veggies, then I think you need to try the Arugula Farro Salad. It has a delicious dressing, and I love all the textures inside the salad.

Arugula Farro Salad

You can also get it as a side for your meal from ABC Commissary. I have definitely stopped by ABC Commissary just to order the Arugula Farro Salad, though.

Bavarian Pretzel from Baseline Tap House ($10)

Okay, this one is right at $10 (I know, I know, not technically under $10), but it is delicious and SO close to under $10 that I had to include it. It is a large pretzel served with beer cheese fondue and spicy mustard.

You can order it with a drink from Baseline Taphouse and enjoy some relaxation. The dips are the perfect complement to the pretzel, and it is one of my favorite snacks in Hollywood Studios.

BONUS: Popcorn Refill ($2.19)

I needed to include this because it is probably one of the snacks I purchase most in the parks. I always bring my popcorn bucket with me and stop for a refill whenever I want something quick to eat. You can find places to refill in all four parks!

Refillable Popcorn Bucket

Technically, it’s not under $10 if you buy the souvenir bucket, too, but if you like popcorn, I highly recommend investing in a popcorn bucket at the beginning of your trip. I think it is worth the initial cost to have a cheap snack throughout your visit! You can also grab one of the specialty buckets and get discounted refills. Although, some of them are a bit harder to carry around or more difficult to eat out of.
