 | If you believe everything you read online, many sites will have you believe that most iconic Disney Park snacks are only available at one, possibly two, places in each resort. The truth, however, is much simpler. The snack staples at the Disneyland Resort are rarely offered at just one location and if you know where to look you can save yourself a great deal of time in line and still get the same experience everyone on the internet is raving about. |
Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs
| One of the biggest culprits of this charade is the hand-dipped corn dog. Most places talk about the Little Red Wagon on Main Street, USA and they're wonderfully warm and crispy dogs that are only available in a small corner of the street at certain times of day. In reality you can find identical corn dogs at the Corn Dog Castle at Paradise Gardens Park in California Adventure and at the Stage Door Cafe in Frontierland. In addition, the Stage Door Cafe offers more food for your money so you essentially are not wasting as much on the same meal. |  |
Mickey Shaped Beignets
 | These are those French-style donuts that you see on Instagram all the time. Most would have you believe these are only available with a long wait at the Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square. The fact is not only can you use Mobile Ordering to shorten your wait time at the Mint Julep Bar, these delightfully delicious treats are also seasonally served at the Cafe Orleans - also in New Orleans Square. Check out their menu online or in the app ahead of time to see what they're offering. |
Mint JulepsPeople love this non-alcoholic version of a classic southern cocktail and believe it can only be found at either the Blue Bayou (the hottest meal ticket in Disneyland) or the Mint Julep Bar, both in New Orleans Square and both with extremely long waits. These are actually quite easy to find and can also be ordered at the Cafe Orleans and the French Market. In other words, virtually anywhere in New Orleans Square. |  |
Dole Whips
 | By what I see in the parks every day I visit, the idea is that you can only really catch these tropical coolers at the Tiki Juice Bar by the Enchanted Tiki Room in Adventureland. That would be why the line is always insanely long. You can find them, along with a raspberry option, at the Tropical Hideaway around the corner and at the Tangaroa Terrace at the Disneyland Hotel. Besides, anymore you can find Dole Whips at many locations across the US. It's not limited to just Disney Parks nowadays. |
Monte Cristo SandwichesThese tasty fried ham, turkey and cheese sandwiches have been on and off the menu at the Blue Bayou for a while, but as far as most people know that's the only place you can find them. Not so. In fact, the Cafe Orleans boasts that not only do they serve the classic there as well but you can also order a three-cheese Monte Cristo if you'd rather go meatless. Plus, for a limited time, you can pick up a 1/2 Monte Cristo at the Smokejumpers Grill in DCA! |  |
 | Bread Bowl SoupsThe most iconic food at the Pacific Wharf Cafe is the bread bowl soups - served in freshly made sourdough bread made right inside the park! Did you know, though, that both the Royal Street Verandah in New Orleans Square and the Harbour Galley in Critter Country also serve soups and chowders in the same bread bowls? You don't need to be in California Adventure to enjoy great bread! |
Classic Disney Parks Candy & Sweets
In the mood for a giant cookie? Cake pop? Rice cereal treat? How about a caramel apple? These can only be found inside the parks at just a few locations, right?
Wrong. You can find the largest selections at Trolley Treats on Buena Vista Street in California Adventure or the Candy Palace on Main Street, USA in Disneyland. Select treats are also found at Bing Bong's Sweet Stuff in Pixar Pier (DCA) and Pooh Corner in Critter Country (DLP). On your way out? Marceline's Confectionary in Downtown Disney sells the exact same things so you don't have to step into the parks to grab one at all.
