Dole Whip Cup ($5) and Float ($6)
While there are some subtle differences between Disneyland’s Dole Whip and Disney World’s, it’s still a beloved fan favorite you should try at Magic Kingdom, especially on a blistering day. Try the dairy-free pineapple soft serve in a cup or floated atop tart pineapple juice.

Corn Dog Nuggets ($10 With Fries)
The corn dog nuggets are legendary, and they do not disappoint. These fried morsels have a smoky, sweet flavor that pairs really well with tart yellow mustard.

Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich With Nutella ($8)
OK, you cannot pass up this waffle sandwich. The freshly-made vanilla waffles come out crisp and puffy and are slathered with just enough Nutella to fill up all the holes. “Fresh fruit” usually means a combo of blueberries, bananas, and strawberries, depending on the season. Pro tip: order strawberries only, especially between January and April, when strawberries are in season in Florida. While you can share this with a few friends, it’s so good, I would recommend this for yourself for breakfast.

Bacon Macaroni Hot Dog ($13 With Fries)
Even though we ordered the regular hot dog size (it also comes in foot-long), we could easily split this insane dog between three people. The plump hot dog, ultrasquishy bun, Velveeta-like macaroni and cheese, and real pieces of bacon tasted as good as they sound. Paired with the thin, crisp fries, this was junk food at its finest. We recommend grabbing some sauerkraut to pair on the side to break up the creamy richness.

Turkey Leg ($12)
Ah, the turkey leg! This is one of my absolute favorite items to get at Disney parks. The superflavorful, brined turkey meat gives you the much-needed sodium boost to replenish your electrolytes after a long day in the sun. I also love that the meat is not greasy or fatty, which can spell trouble for the digestive system on a hot day. Though it’s fun to nosh on it from the bone, there’s enough meat on it to share with a group of four.

Citrus Swirl Cup ($6)
Some loyal Disney World fans prefer the flavor of the Citrus Swirl, a twist of orange and vanilla soft serves. Don’t expect this to be anything like the Dole Whip. It’s more of a Creamsicle and a delightful way to enjoy ice cream for breakfast.
