For many Disney World guests – – ourselves, VERY much included – – snacks are as big a part of a Disney World vacation as any ride or show.

Mickey-shaped Pretzel

That’s why it can be so disconcerting when one of our favorites starts to decline, especially as Disney’s prices keep rising while portion sizes trend in the opposite direction.

Mickey Pretzels

Let’s begin with one of the most visually famous Disney snacks: The Mickey Pretzel!

However, the truth is that these Mickey-shaped snacks come frozen and are sprayed with water, salted, and warmed to be sold. While that’s not uncommon, it can definitely lead to hit-or-miss quality.

Pretzel halves

However, pretzel fans should not fret completely, as there are locations around the resort where a generally better pretzel can be found, including Sommerfest in EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion…

… and at the Baseline Tap House in Hollywood Studios.

Churros

Quick service churros have always been more of a Disneyland staple than those at Walt Disney World, and even as Disney introduces new flavor options – – some of which are admittedly solid – – they never really match the popularity of their West Coast counterparts.

Of course, there are a few spots at the resort to get delicious churro-influenced dishes, including Nomad Lounge at Animal Kingdom…

Wookie Cookie

Available at Hollywood Studios’ Backlot Express, this Star Wars-themed dessert – – two oatmeal cookies sandwiching vanilla cream filling garnished with a milk chocolate sash – – has long been a favorite of many. However, lately we’ve noticed them becoming more inconsistent than they’ve been in the past.

Of course, there are other giant cookie options at Hollywood Studios…

Cinnamon Roll

So this one’s a bit tricky. We’ve long been BIG fans of this treat from Gaston’s Tavern at the Magic Kingdom.

However, there are occasions when the icing distribution is a bit off. If that comes up, we’d always recommend ordering a cup of extra icing.
