Listen — we’re just gonna come out and say it. Compromising some of the classic Disney World snacks to construct a brand new version of them or an entirely new snack of their own is either a stroke of genius or pure delusion… and sometimes both are the case!
POWERADE Mountain Berry Blast Float
We’ve eaten our way across Disney World’s snacks time and time again only to find ourselves a bit bored after a while (blasphemy — we know). But, once you get past the initial shock over our insane itch to create something different and exciting you’ll either thank us or call us unhinged and we’re ok with either!
Working at Disney Food Blog and being in Disney World ever day certainly has its perks. Not only are we always surrounded by the wonder of the theme parks and hotels, but it gives us a fairly unique opportunity. Before long we’ve committed full restaurants, snack carts, and limited-time menus to memory and then we get our gears turning.
Delicious!
It’s not super often but on occasion seeing the same menu items over and over again can become well… a little boring to us. So, we’ve found our own spice to life and came up with a few ways that make eating certain things and even carrying our snacks around Disney World sooo much easier and enjoyable! Some might call them unhinged, but we say, don’t knock ’em until you’ve tried ’em — let’s take a look at a few that have topped our list.
Onion BBQ Fries
This is one that we’re not totally certain why it didn’t come to us before but when it did come together, was a total game changer to our fries!
Snack hack for under $5!
By ordering a side of french fries, drizzling barbecue sauce over top of them from the self service pump to add as much or as little as you want AND requesting a side of chopped onions to sprinkle over top of them you’ve just built yourself some new fancy fries. We’ve tried this hack at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in the past and it’s proven to be a genius choice time and time again.
Plastic Cheese + Our Beloved Hushpuppies
This unhinged snack hack combines to our of most cherished snacks in all of Disney World. But we’re warning, this one might be too much flavored yumminess for one undertaking… unless you feel like you’re up to the challenge!
Hushpuppies
Hear us out, feel free to dunk, dip, or smother the hushpuppies from Columbia Harbour House in a side of cheese sauce in whatever capacity you feel like on that given instance. And for variety, use this hack over and over again with a different method and see if you form a preference!
Plastic Cheese + *checks notes* CHICKEN?
It makes sense when you think about it! We cover chicken tender and chicken nuggets in OTHER types of cheese, so it stands to reason that when we combine our love for the chicken nuggs and the chicken tendies its AMPLIFIED by the addition of the warmth of the melted plastic cheese sauce.
Loaded Chicken Strips
We get it — this hack won’t be for everyone so your mileage may vary, but, we’re BEGGING you to try it out just once!
If You’re A French Fry & Ice Cream Aficionado
There’s just some bizarre food combinations that sound like they shouldn’t go together and will blow your minds the first time you try them. We’re totally standing by the notion that french fries and ice cream should come hand in hand all the time.
Disney Fries at Casey’s Corner
Buuuut, since the the rest of the world hasn’t totally caught up to our food science just yet, we have to catch you up to speed. If you’re strolling down Main Street U.S.A. and find yourself looking for something to snack on, we suggest a side of fries from Casey’s Corner and a scoop (or two) of ice cream from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor.
Pumpkin Ice Cream
Listen, a lot of our hacks involve new takes on french fries so this should come as a surprise to no one, but when you’re able to be the boss and choose your own ice cream flavor to scoop your crispy french fries into your taste buds will be screaming with excitement!
You Can Add Crab To WHAT? WHERE?
This one you’ll technically have to leave Disney World’s parks for but you won’t have to go far. Crabmeat fans have ANOTHER reason to rejoice when they find out they can combine their favorite seafood with an authentic Hispanic flair (boy, we never thought we’d see the day when we combined those two in print).
Rosa Mexicano
Rosa Mexicano is one of our best kept secret restaurants in Disney World since it resides at the Dolphin Resort. If you’re ever in a mood to spice things up with their table side guac, just know you CAN add lobster to it!
How Do We Carry It All?
We’re really peeling back the curtains here. While its always our goal to eat every snack we purchase in Disney World sometimes we spot something we want to take home to our kids, our spouses, or just save for later because we’re completely stuffed.
Tupperware Set
It’s probably unconventional, but we’re not above bringing baggies and small Tupperware containers into the park with us to save our left overs or spare snacks. This works especially well for messy snacks like caramel apples and fudge, that we’d otherwise have a terrible time trying to keep off of the rest of our belonging and fit the comfortably in our bags while we complete our day in the parks. It’s a win win all around and we’re not letting even the tiniest bite go to waste! And while we’re on the subject — who says these things are JUST for popcorn?
Munchling Donald Duck popcorn bucket
If you spot us running around with corn dog nuggs in our popcorn buckets, no you didn’t (or come join us, it’s great on this side of the snack hack)!
So there you have them! These are our most genius hacks we’ve uncovered when snacking around Disney World. So now we’re curious… which one are you planning to try first?
