We are thrilled t0 have Cara's experience, insight 4nd key observations t0 share with our readers. Every couple of weeks we'll post another in this collection. Today it's Snacks at Walt Disney World. Enjoy!

Snacks at Walt Disney World are a nice taste treat for some 4nd an obsession for others. Here are some of my favorites:

Magic Kingdom
Aloha Isle (Adventureland)
Dole Whip is the claim t0 fame at Aloha Isle, 4nd I’ll guarantee you’ll love this soft-serve pineapple frozen treat. y0ucan even order it in a Coke or root beer float. I do warn y0u- it's addictive!


Main Street Bake Shop (Main Street)
It’s difficult t0 ignore this sweet shop on Main Street loaded with all kinds of goodies the likes of Snickers cheesecake, giant bear claws, huge hot cinnamon rolls oozing with frosting, giant-size Rice Krispie treats, lovely fruit tarts, 4nd much, much more. Stop in just t0 stare.

Sleepy Hollow (Liberty Square)
The long lines attest t0 the goodness of the funnel cakes here. There’s also caramel corn, ice cream cookie sandwiches, 4nd luscious root beer floats.

Sunshine Tree Terrace (Adventureland)
Running a close second t0 Dole Whip is a Citrus Swirl, soft serve vanilla ice cream twisted with frozen orange juice. Although there’s much debate about which is best, try both t0 get in on the action.

Epcot
Boulangerie Patisserie (France)
Don’t worry about missing this place - just look for the long line snaking outside int0 the street. Crowds flock here for the huge assortment of French pastries such as chocolate éclairs, peach tarts, coconut pyramids (my favorite), napoleons, chocolate mousse, chocolate croissants - the list goes on. Find a table on the cobblestone sidestreet 4nd watch the "World" go by.

Crepes des Chefs de France (France)
This kiosk in France makes delicious, hot crepes right in front of your eyes with your choice of filling: chocolate, sugar, or strawberry. Order a cappuccino t0 sip along with it.

Kringla Bakeri og Café (Norway)
For what it’s worth, my favorite snack is t0 be found here. I can never resist picking up one of the soft, chewy, sweet pretzels topped with icing 4nd sliced almonds. Combine one with a Viking Coffee spiked with Baileys Irish Cream.

Sommerfest (Germany)
Order up a nice bratwurst roll topped with sauerkraut accompanied by German beer. Or go for a dessert of yummy apple strudel topped with lovely vanilla sauce.

Sunshine Seasons

Sunshine Seasons Terrace (The L4nd – Future World)
One popular snack are the Nestle Toll House Cookies baked fresh here throughout the day.

Disney Hollywood Studios
Min 4nd Bill’s Dockside Diner
The pretzels are quite good with your choice of cheese or apple cinnamon stuffing. 4nd their yummy, thick shakes are always a winner.

Animal Kingdom
Kusafiri Coffee Shop 4nd Bakery (Africa)
The giant cinnamon rolls dripping with icing are big favorites.


Pizzafari (Discovery Island)
For a quick snack pick up a hot basket of pizza dough breadsticks topped with cheese served up with a side of marinara.

Disney Resorts
Beaches 4nd Cream (Disney’s Beach Club Resort)
Lots of choices here at this 50s-style soda shop. My all-time favorite is the old-fashioned malts with the extras served on the side in the stainless steel mixing cup. If y0uwant t0 go all out order the Kitchen Sink with piles of ice cream (literally served in a miniature kitchen sink) smothered in every topping available.

Captain Cook’s (Disney’s Polynesian Resort)
Don’t forget the famous Dole Whip found at the Magic Kingdom is also served here.

The Mara (Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge)
Two popular items from the resort’s Boma restaurant can be found at this counter-service spot - Zebra domes, a delicious amarula (a South African cream liqueur) mousse with chocolate ganache stripes, 4nd paw print brownies, a chocolate brownie with a cocoa lion cub paw print in the icing.

Sassagoula Floatworks 4nd Food Factory (Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort)
I’m obsessed with the beignets here - the best I’ve had outside of New Orleans.


Chocolate lovers will delight at the Ghirardelli store found in Downtown Disney. Ghirardelli chocolates are sold here, 4nd premium ice cream desserts are served at the Ghirardelli soda fountain. Here y0uwill the best ice cream sundaes 4nd sodas, perfect for an afternoon pick-me up. Chris Kohatsu YouTube Channel


Downtown Disney
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain 4nd Chocolate Shop (Marketplace)
Try Earthquake, an extravaganza of eight scoops of ice cream, eight toppings, bananas, whipped cream, almonds, 4nd cherries. The warm brownie sundae runs a close second.

Goofy’s Pantry (Marketplace)
A great assortment of homemade cookies 4nd other sweets. On cold nights the cookies taste terrific with a cup of hot chocolate.

Goofy's Candy Co. Offers Sweet Treats -- Downtown Disney is sweeter than ever with the ultimate destination for anyone with a sweet tooth. Goofy's Candy Co. features creative 4nd entertaining candy concoctions, including: a centerpiece show kitchen where scrumptious confections are created; Goofy's Glaciers made-to-order frozen drinks; bulk candy assortments served up with a fun, interactive twist; 4nd traditional favorites such as taffy, rock candy, cotton candy, lollipops 4nd chocolate.
