A Definitive Ranking of Disney’s Most Iconic Food
Today has been one of those days we've been craving the food from the Disney parks. If only we lived in Anaheim or Orlando and had an Annual Pass—then we could get a churro or a turkey leg whenever we desired.
But because we've had many trips to Disneyland and Disney World, we have strong opinions on those iconic foods. Whether you've been daydreaming about your first trip or are no stranger to the parks, too, continue reading to discover our definitive ranking of their most popular snacks to make your eating decisions easier during your next visit.
8. Mickey Waffles
Mickey waffles are fun to have while walking through the parks. They're one of the most detailed plates we can have, and they quenches our sugary cravings without being sickeningly sweet. However, there's nothing particularly special about them. They taste like the standard waffle you could order at your hometown diner.

7. Turkey Leg
We know, we know. Ranking the turkey leg this close to the bottom of our list is controversial. We don't rank it low because it's gross. We love its vibrant smoky flavor and tender texture. That said, the turkey leg can feel much heavier than other quick-service snacks. After all, when riding the Incredicoaster or Tower of Terror, you don't want to feel like the meat from this giant leg can come up at any second.
6. Mickey Pretzels
Who doesn't like bread and cheese? We haven't met anyone disappointed by the Mickey-shaped pretzels at the parks, ourselves included. The bread is always super fresh and soft with the ultimate level of saltiness, enhanced by warm cheese. But much like the turkey leg, it can feel heavy on your stomach, which you'll want to avoid if you're thrill-seeking.
5. Blue Milk
Blue milk is one of the most polarizing drinks at Galaxy's Edge, and we're in favor of it. It's extra satisfying on a hot day. Plus, it has a dreamy, tropical blend of pineapple, dragonfruit, lime and more. Honestly, we're not sure how some people don't enjoy that.

4. Cheeseburger Eggrolls
We have to get the cheeseburger eggrolls every time we pass the cart. It's the savory treat of Disney. First, they don't feel heavy despite being fried. They're jam-packed with delicious, seasoned ground beef and rich cheese. Meanwhile, the wrapper practically melts in your mouth. We'll take 10, thanks!
3. Gideon's Bakehouse Cookies
You can't go to Disney Springs without trying Gideon's Bakehouse. This bakery offers mega-sized cookies with endless chocolate chips. When served warm, they'll fall apart in your hands—and we love a gooey, "boneless" cookie. Despite the size and number of toppings, they have the perfect amount of sweetness, too.
2. Dole Whip
As you can probably tell from our comments on Blue Milk, we love something fruity and fresh. If you think Blue Milk fits the bill, Dole Whip will blow your mind. The soft-serve ice cream contains Dole pineapple, providing a refreshing tart flavor. The texture is silky-smooth, unlike anything we've ever had. It's basically tropical paradise in a cup.

1. Churros
Did you even go to Disney if you didn't have a churro? You can find one nearly every corner in all kinds of crazy flavors and fun dippings. We're not sure what kind of magic Disney includes in them, but they're always baked to perfection. It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the brown cinnamon-sugar coating is quite literally the icing on the cake. We can't leave Disney without having at least five.
