12 of the Best Food You Must Try at Disneyland Park

Planning a trip to the Disney Resort in California? We’re sure just the rides and attractions at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park make you feel excited already. Still, there’s so much more to look forward to for your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!

We’re talking about the park’s fantastic selection of Disney-themed food; from classics like the Mickey-shaped snacks, the humongous turkey legs, and the looong churros to hidden gems such as *spoiler alert* wraps and pastries. There are heaps to choose at Disneyland Park . 

While all Disneyland food is nothing short of delicious, here are our top 12 picks that you should definitely try during your visit to Disneyland Park: 

Why not start with dessert first? Dole Whips undoubtedly take the crown in classic Disneyland food. This frozen soft-serve pineapple treat is the signature treat to beat the Cali heat. There may be a lot of recipes that recreate this sweet and tart dessert, but no one does it better than Disneyland!

Looking for the galaxy’s finest and most flavourful meats? Head to Ronto Roasters and sink your teeth into a Ronto Wrap, a savoury grilled sausage wrapped in a warm pita and drizzled with yoghurt. What’s even greater is they also have a meat-free version for those craving something plant-based!

Mickey-shaped pillows of heaven? We’re definitely lining up for that! Mickey beignets are must-eat Disneyland food all year round, but we suggest you watch out for the flavoured ones during the holidays. Just make sure you don’t wear anything dark ‘cos the powdered sugar gets everywhere.

Is there a more iconic Disneyland food than the Turkey Leg? Your experience at the Happiest Place on Earth wouldn’t be complete without walking around the park while munching on a giant hunk of a leg in hand. If you’re a fan of ham, you’ll definitely love this one!

What makes Disneyland churros so special? Aside from the usual cinnamon-sugar-covered ones, they also come in themed and limited-edition flavours! Our favourites? The blue and red lightsaber churros for Star Wars and the Green Apple Churro in Tomorrowland.

Wanna eat something filling while you’re on the go or in line for a ride? Get yourself a Corn Dog on Main Street U.S.A. These hand-dipped golden brown masterpieces are one of Disneyland’s signature food items. With everyone raving about its perfect batter, it’s time to try it for yourself.

Funnel cakes are classic theme park staples, and if you think they couldn’t get any better, wait until you get your hands on the Loaded Funnel Cakes in Disneyland! Get ready for the sugar rush because these funnel cakes are HUGE (around the size of your head) and topped with heaps of whipped cream and strawberries or brownies. There are also seasonal varieties like the Apple Pie Funnel Cake and Milk-and-Honey Funnel Cake.

The Cheddar Garlic Bagel Twist at Fantasyland tops our list when it comes to hidden Disneyland food gems. This perfect combo of breadstick, bagel, garlic, and cheese is the best source of carbs you can have at Disneyland Resort in California. For the knockout experience, pair it with their marinara dipping sauce and Apple Freeze drink!

Aside from Dole Whips, you can also freshen up with Mint Julep from New Orleans Square. This Disneyland version is a non-alcoholic citrusy drink—another classic way to avoid feeling parched from the summer heat. Did you know that the mint juleps recently got a transformation from the original? They’re now less neon in colour and taste like mint with a hint of lime. More reason to come back to Disneyland, then!

Need lunch recommendations while at Disneyland? Head to Main Street and order the Plaza Inn Fried Chicken; you won’t regret anything! Their herb-seasoned fried chicken is served with mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and a buttermilk biscuit. Portions are big enough to share with, but why would you do that?

Sink your teeth into one of the most luscious Disneyland foods, the Monte Cristo Sandwich. It’s not your average ham-turkey-cheese sandwich—it’s battered and deep-fried to perfection and comes with a tart berry sauce for dipping. It’s cheesy, gooey, and greasy in a good way!

What’s a list of Disneyland food without a Mickey-shaped food item, right? We’ve mentioned the Mickey beignet, but when it comes to the cold dessert department, the Mickey Bar is a must-try when you’re in California. It’s a great palate cleanser after a heavy meal—tasty vanilla ice cream enveloped in a chocolate coating.
