Churros
Where can I get a churro at Disneyland? If you can’t see it, you can smell it. Disney comes out with new and seasonal flavored churros all the time, but you can still get classics at nearly every churro cart.
Type “churro” into the search function on the Disneyland app and it will pull up this complete list, which I also have for you right here.
Churros at Disneyland Park
- Churros at small world Promenade on the pathway approaching “it’s a small world”
- Churros & Lemonade in Bayou Country on your way to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
- Churros near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Frontierland
- Churros near Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters in Tomorrowland under the old PeopleMover track
- Churros near Casey Jr. Circus Train in Fantasy Land
- Churros near Sleeping Beauty Castle, usually on the front right hand side of the castle
- Churros near Town Square; Town Square is the area in front of the Main Street Train Station with the flag pole, the Fire Station, the Opera House and City Hall
- Churros near Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square
Churros at Disney California Adventure Park
- Churros at Hollywood Land just under the archway that says Hollywood Studios, on your way to Monster, Inc. ride
- Cozy Cone Motel 1, each Cozy Cone in Cars Land sells different food/drinks, head to Cozy Cone 1 for churros
- Churros near Goofy’s Sky School in Paradise Gardens Park, look for the Jumpin Jellyfish ride high in the sky to make your way there
- Churros near Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in the peaceful part of Grizzly Peak
- Senor Buzz Churros on Pixar Pier near the loop of the Icredicoaster and close to Toy Story Midway Mania
- Terran Treats in Avengers Campus, a cart that sells other hero desserts too
- Willie’s Churros on Buena Vista Street, if you’re headed into the park it’ll be on the right side of the park
Ice Cream
When the air heats up for summer at Disneyland, it’s time to cool down with my favorite treat at Disneyland—a Mickey premium ice cream bar.
It reminds me of when Costco sold ice cream bars at the food court. And since those days are over, I prefer my ice cream Mickey shaped and wrapped in a chocolate shell.
Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats at California Adventure Pixar Pier is Best known for the diary-free lemon soft serve ice cream.
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream on Buena Vista Street has lots of menu items hovering in the $6-7 range, but in a pinch you can grab single scoop in a sugar cone or cup for $5.
Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land gets your motor running with soft serve ice creams at Cozy Cone 2. Add toppings for a small fee and you’re good to go, all for about five bucks.
Gibson Girl on Main Street, U.S.A. Trust me, if you walk in here you will want more than one scoop (two scoops pictured below)! I suggest grabbing a Sundae for a little more and splitting it instead.
Dole Whips of course are a classic! I prefer the float version . . . and it you have littles, you can ask them to split it into two portions!
You can mobile order at the Tiki Juice Bar, but not if you want special flavors—get those at the Tropical Hideaway next door.
What’s your top pick for ice cream at Disneyland?
Pastries
Disneyland pastries just seem to taste better than pastries anywhere else. Which one are you ordering?
Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe on Buena Vista Street hits the spot when you’re serious about your pastries. Croissants, muffins, scones, cinnamon roll, you name it and they’ve probably got it.
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe on Main Street, U.S.A. is one of my top spots to eat for any meal or snack. Filled with assorted desserts like lemon blueberry bundt cake, mousse brownie, Matterhorn Macaroon, sugar cookies and more.
You’ll be glad you made a Disneyland snack stop here.
Popcorn
Don’t even get me started on popcorn. It’s my obsession. The smell gets me every time I am near it.
My ultimate weakness can be found throughout the Disneyland Resort including these popcorn carts:
- Near Carthay Circle Restaurant on Buena Vista Street
- Town Square in Disneyland
- Near City Hall in Disneyland
- Fantasyland Theatre
- By Chip N Dale’s GadgetCoaster in Mickey’s Toontown
- Popcorn at Grizzly Peak Airfield
- Near Haunted Mansion
- Near Hyperion Theater
- At small world Promenade
- Popcorn near Mark Twain Riverboat
- On Pixar Pier
- Near Star Trader in Tomorrowland
Pretzels & Carbs
I prefer the jalapeño stuffed pretzels from Refreshment Corner. Here’s some other pretzels and carb loading you can add to your Disneyland snack list.
Bengal Barbecue in Adventureland is where you can sink your teeth into a Tiger Tail Breadstick topped with garlic, herbs and cheddar cheese.
Hungry Bear BBQ Jamboree in Critter Country has loaded brisket fries that are incredible! You can also get fries at Smokejumpers Grill in California Adventure, Stage Door Cafe and Red Rose Tavern.
Pretzels are all that they are wrapped up to be, whether it’s in Mickey shape or your standard fare:
- Bayside Brews in California Adventure
- On Big Thunder Trail near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
- Pretzels near Hyperion Theater
- At small world Promenade
- Pretzels near Star Tours – The Adventures Continue
- Refreshment Corner on Main Street, U.S.A.
Healthy Snacks
I use the term “healthy” loosely here. These are often better choices, but check out our complete healthy Disneyland dining guide and Keto friendly meals here too.
Bengal Barbecue in Adventureland has a little more oomph to their snacks. You can get one of their famous meat or veggie skewers for in between meals or grab a few for a full meal.
Edelweiss Snacks in Fantasyland has buttered corn on the cob, which is seriously delicious,
Fairfax Market in Hollywood Land has hummus with sugar snap peas and tomatoes, Cuties brand oranges, carrots and other fresh fruit and veggie items.
Fillmore’s Taste-In in Cars Land has pickles, fruit and cuties. You can actually find things like this throughout the resort at various carts a shops.
Fruit Carts, along with those listed here have fresh fruit, waters and vitamin water:
- Bayou Country Fruit Cart
- Fairfax Market
- Fantasyland Fruit Cart
- Filmore’s Taste-In
- Good Boy Grocers in Toontown
- Main Street, U.S.A. Fruit Cart
- Ship to Shore Marketplace
- Mortimer’s Market
- Tomorrowland Fruit Cart
- Tropical Imports
Tropical Hideaway in Adventureland hosts not only the Dole Whip, but a pineapple spear, fresh mango and watermelon.
Eating healthy at Disneyland is possible with a little pre-planning. But if you must indulge, try sharing it with someone instead of eating it all by yourself.
Before you go, be sure to get your discount Disneyland tickets from my ticket partner and to help you stay on a budget even more, I suggest getting Disney Gift Cards and use those only for snacks. Once the money runs out, snacks to do.

You’re so welcome Noa. Have a wonderful time with the kids. I hope you’ll tell me all about it when you return.
You’re making me miss the west coast? we just went to WDW in May but I’m craving some Disneyland in my life.
ok, done the popcorn, and was surprised that i did not want the collector tub.
Haha, there are always new collector tubs, it’s hard to stay away from those for me!
We have done a gift card for all food the last two times, we did a family of 4, kids are 8 and 10 and are able to do 4 days on $150 budget, we even came home with money left on the card last time! We definitely share meals, and aim for lower costs options. Thanks for sharing!
I love using gift cards too! I even have an article on where you can use Disney gift cards in the parks. It’s a great way to stay on budget! Thanks for sharing that tip.
