To ensure you don't miss out on any culinary delights, we've compiled a list of the top 5 Disneyland must-try snacks....plus a couple extra bonus snacks because you can't have too many, right?

1. Churros: No visit to Disneyland is complete without indulging in a piping-hot churro. These fried, cinnamon-sugar-coated delights are an iconic staple in the park. You can find churro carts scattered throughout Disneyland, ensuring you're never far from this heavenly treat. Whether you're munching on one while waiting in line for Space Mountain or enjoying it as a nighttime snack during the fireworks show, churros are a quintessential Disneyland experience.  Once you've tried the classic churro, watch for other featured and seasonal flavors; they have some amazing options and some that are a bit adventurous.
2. Mickey-Shaped Beignets: If you have a sweet tooth, then you absolutely must try the Mickey-shaped beignets at the Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square. These fluffy, powdered-sugar-dusted pastries are not only adorable but also incredibly tasty. They're always available in classic powdered sugar, but sometimes you'll also find seasonal varieties available. Be sure to snap a photo of your Mickey-shaped beignets before devouring them—they're almost too cute to eat!
3. Dole Whip: Looking for a refreshing treat on a sunny day at Disneyland? Head over to Adventureland and treat yourself to a Dole Whip. This pineapple-flavored soft-serve ice cream is a tropical delight that's perfect for cooling down. You can enjoy it as a float with pineapple juice or savor it in a cup or cone. Want to try a new version of a Dole Whip?  Head over to Tropical Hideaway where you'll find some alternative Dole Whip flavors and creations like a Loaded Dole Whip, Raspberry Dole Whip, and more.  Dole Whips are a Disney fan favorite and a must-try snack that will transport your taste buds to a Hawaiian paradise.
   
4. Corn Dogs: Disneyland's corn dogs are legendary, and for good reason. These hand-dipped, golden-brown creations are a savory delight that will satisfy your hunger after a day of exploring the park.
