What’s a trip to Disney World without some amazing snacks?
Sure, people come to the parks for the rides, the entertainment, and the ambiance, but the food is an attraction on its own! We are constantly trying new restaurants and letting you know what’s up with food in Disney World. So that’s why we had to tell you that you’re snacking at the WRONG park!
Hear us out — we know Corn Dog Nuggets are a staple in Magic Kingdom, people love to eat around the world at EPCOT, and the Wookiee Cookie and Ronto Wraps are a must at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.But actually, we think Animal Kingdom is one of the best parks for snacking!
The ratio between table service restaurants and snack stands is interesting in Animal Kingdom — there are WAY more snack spots than you might think! Let’s make our way around the park and take a look at some of the best snacks you can grab around Animal Kingdom.
Discovery Island
When you walk into Animal Kingdom and see the Tree of Life, you’re officially on Discovery Island! Go to the right and you’ll findEight Spoon Cafewhich serves some of our favorite mac and cheese in all of Disney World.
Although it’s not our favorite thing here, Eight Spoon Cafe also has a Pulled Pork Jelly Doughnut Sandwich. You don’t get to try that every day!
To the left of the Tree of Life, you’ll find Terra Treats. You can grab different types of pizza at this stand! Here’s a look at the Buffalo Chicken Pizza — cue the drooling.
The newest land in Animal Kingdom is Pandora and while Flight of Passage is the biggest pull in this land, the food is not to be missed! At Satu’li Canteen, the quick service restaurant in this land, you can snack on some Cheeseburger Pods. This isn’t exactly a snack stand, but these are too iconic to leave out of the list!
Right outside that restaurant is the Pongu Pongu snack stand. You can eat a pretzel the size of your face…
…and the Pongu Lumpia which is a spring roll with pineapple and cream cheese. It’s not for everyone, but it has become a favorite for many people in the park!

is for those of you with a sweet tooth — but there are savory options as well! There are several pastries, some flatbreads, and a chicken wrap.
Asia
If you make just one stop to snack in Asia, make it Mr. Kamal’s Seasoned Fries. The stand is hiding on the walkway between Africa and Asia, but believe us, you don’t want to miss it! It’s just under $7 for a shareable portion, but we don’t blame you if you refuse to share.
In the mood for some simple ice cream? Snag it from theAnandapur Ice Cream Truck!This spot has a yeti-themed sundae.
DinoLand U.S.A.
Speaking of ice cream, we highly recommend going toDino-Bite Snacksover at DinoLand U.S.A. There’s a delicious ice cream cookie sandwich that you can customize with your favorite flavors!
Trilo-Bitesis the last stop on our journey in this post, and it’s really all for the Buffalo Chicken Chips! The house-made chips are topped with buffalo chicken, blue cheese dressing, and tomato and celery relish. YUM.

Speaking of snacks, you are allowed to bring outside food into the Disney theme parks, given that they are not in glass containers, and do not require heating, cooking, and refrigeration. We've got ears, say cheers! Snacks and new food options are always on my list of things to do at Walt Disney World!
Guests are allowed to bring outside food and nonalcoholic beverage items into the park for self-consumption, provided they are not in glass containers and do not require heating, reheating, processing, refrigeration or temperature control and do not have pungent odors.
A: Guests are allowed to bring outside food and nonalcoholic beverages into the parks for self-consumption, provided they are not in glass containers, do not require heating, reheating, processing or refrigeration and do not have pungent odors.
However, a Cast Member at the security checkpoint may ask to open your bottle to check its contents, since metal water bottles are opaque. Just keep in mind that alcoholic beverages and glass containers aren't allowed inside the Disneyland Resort, as stated in the Rules.
Marijuana (including marijuana enriched products) or any illegal substance. Objects or toys that appear to be firearms or weapons. Fireworks or other similarly explosive and/or flammable objects, smoke machines or fog machines. Alcoholic beverages, except in the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort.
Luckily, backpacks are permitted in the theme parks, so it's easy for me to bring along everything I need to enjoy my day. My park bag is always stocked with portable phone chargers, sunscreen, band-aids, a jacket or sweatshirt, rain gear, and a refillable water bottle.
You can absolutely bring a water bottle with you into the Walt Disney World theme parks, including Magic Kingdom. The water bottle cannot be glass, but others are absolutely fine. My family always carries water bottles with us into Walt Disney World theme parks!

When you package your food up for the day, be sure to pack it all in plastic containers as no glass is allowed. Also, there isn't a place to heat any of your food up so it is best to pack items that can be enjoyed at room temperature or cold like sandwiches, salads, snacks and things like that.
You can bring in almost any food items or beverages you want, with just a couple of exceptions. Adult beverages of any kind are not allowed to be carried in. For safety reasons, glass jars and containers are not allowed.
Items like chips and candy are perfectly acceptable. Beverages — To help you wash down the food and snacks you're bringing in, it's always a good idea to bring along some beverages.
Lucky for you though, throw that tumbler into your carry-on because you're certainly welcome to bring it into the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks.
