It is no secret that Disneyland is one of the most popular vacation destinations in America. Visitors from around the globe come to the magical world of Disney to experience the infamous rides, shows, parades and stores that make up this trademark dream world. However, there is one aspect often overlooked when naming Disneyland and California Adventure’s best features and that is the food! I am here to share a little insight on Disney dining by listing the top 10 foods inside the park that YOU’VE GOTTA TRY!

Between family visits, school field trips and having an annual pass for the last 4 years I have had my fair share of Disney food. For the sake of more opinions and extra taste buds, I called upon Disneyland fanatics Christian Baker, Jillian Bakke, Connor Buck and Andrew Kirby to assist me in ranking the most popular foods the theme parks have to offer.

10.Turkey Legs

While standing in line you get a whiff of what seems to be Thanksgiving dinner. Confused, you look around until… AH HA! You find the source. In line behind you, just a few people back is a dad feasting on the most gigantic turkey leg you have ever seen. Although the sight may be a little disturbing, you know that a turkey leg is the perfectly-filling food to keep you busy while waiting in this standstill line.

9. Dryers Ice Cream

Main Street is a trademark sight for anyone visiting Disneyland. Between the stores, arcade and candy shop is an old fashion ice cream parlor. With freshly made waffle cones, these hand scooped, classic flavors are an instant favorite for children and adults alike.

8. Pretzels

It is scientifically proven that Mickey Mouse shaped pretzels are better than normal ones, especially when they are stuffed with melted cheese and jalapeños. These delicious snacks can be found at food carts throughout both parks and are easy to eat while walking between attractions.

7. Beignets with Hot Cocoa

You don’t need to know how to pronounce it as long as you try these beignets found at the Mint Julip Bar in Disneyland. The fried dough, shaped like Mickey Mouse of course, is sprinkled with powdered sugar and is the perfect pastry to accompany your famous Disneyland hot cocoa. “I don’t know why, but hot cocoa is just better at Disneyland,” explains Connor Buck.

6. Popcorn

Besides the fact that Disneyland popcorn often comes in a collectable container based on Disney’s latest movie or attraction, the snack inside is buttery deliciousness! Although there are dozens of stands around the Disney parks, Jillian Bakke says that the best place to go is the Cozy Cone Popcorn because they have different flavors that change everyday!

5. Churros

There is really nothing unique about Disneyland churros. Just like every other churro, Disney’s are downright incredible and baked to perfection. There might not be anything different, but one could argue that everything tastes better when you are at The Happiest Place on Earth.

4. Corn Dogs

Disneyland’s little red corn dog truck is tucked away at the end of Main Street. Anyone who doesn’t stumble upon this old fashion stand misses out on county fair styled corn dogs. “I like them because they are made at the time of order,” says Christian Baker.

3. Pizza Port

Found in Disneyland’s Tomorrow Land, Pizza Port is a great family-friendly restaurant choice because there is such a variety of choices. “I can never choose between the pizza, pasta and salad so I usually just get one of each!” says Connor. There are enough options to please all types of tastes. “I love their pizza since I’m a vegetarian and their meatless pizza is always jam packed with different vegetables,” explains Jillian.

2. Dole Pineapple Whipped Ice Cream

When entering Adventure Land, right outside the Tiki Room visitors can buy a little taste of a Hawaii. Original to the park, the famous Dole Pineapple Whipped Ice Cream seems to be everyone’s favorite. Andrew Kirby describes the treat as, “Tart and sweet all at the same time- and extremely delicious.” No matter how long the line is for a bowl or pineapple full of this soft served delight, Disney-fanatics and newbies alike are crazy for this unique dessert.

1. Pacific Wharf’s Bread Bowls

What could be so special about soup in a bread bowl? Who knows, but the five of us agree that these sourdough bread bowls are perfect for any Disney excursion for various reasons. The boys like the meal because it is so filling! The portions are huge and overloaded with the soup of your choice. Whatever the weather, Pacific Wharf’s Bread Bowls in California Adventure are the perfect meal for a long Disney day.

Next time you go to Disneyland leave the pre-packed lunch at home and try a few (or all) of the incredible foods mentioned above. Your stomach might be overloaded but your taste buds will thank you. YOU’VE GOTTA TRY Disneyland dining!
