Walt Disney World is full of fun and thrilling experiences. However, some of the best food in all of the Disney World theme parks might just be the snacks! Not all park food is created equal! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park snacks outrank almost all other Disney food choices on property! That’s a fact or maybe just my opinion, but let’s discuss!
Here is a list of the top 10 Animal Kingdom Park snacks to enjoy on your next trip! First, for any Disney related travel plans, let me encourage you to utilize the service of a travel professional that specializes in Disney Destinations.
Mr. Kamal’s Seasoned Fries
Mr. Kamal’s, a small outdoor kitchen on the road toward the Asia section of the park, serves a sharable portion of delicious crispy seasoned fries. Disney food can sometimes be bland, but not this option!
The fries are uniquely seasoned to taste exotic yet familiar and satisfying for $5.99. They also come with your choice of 2 dipping sauces- curried honey mustard or Korean Chili ketchup. Don’t want to share? I won’t judge! Try pairing them with the chicken dumplings and have a meal!
Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich, Dino-Bite Snacks
One of the best Animal Kingdom Park snacks includes this staple found in Dinoland USA. If you want a sweet bite and cool treat, try the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich from Dino-Bite Snacks. It is made with 2 giant delicious cookies and soft creamy ice cream. This snack is often seasonally themed and the flavors change. What doesn’t change is the shareable size and perfect simple goodness.
You can get the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich at Dino-Bites for $7.29. With a swipe of a magic band, you can enjoy a cool sweet snack!
Baked Mac & Cheese with Pulled Pork, Eight Spoon Café
Just inside the park on Discovery Island sits Eight Spoon Café. This food kiosk serves some of the best mac & cheese on property. The Mac & Cheese is a baked version with the addition of tangy pulled pork.
This dish is priced at $6.79 and again is easily shareable. Grab 2 forks and a seat under the Tree of Life for a lovely view and great bite. The sharable dish will help you stay on budget on vacation to the most magical place on Earth.
Grilled Chicken Bowl, Harambe Market
One of my favorite Animal Kingdom Park snacks includes the Grilled Chicken Bowl from Harambe Market in Africa. Grilled chicken is served with cilantro rice, mixed greens and topped with salsa. Sounds simple but it’s amazing!
This dish is great for those hot Florida afternoons when you are looking for something light and full of flavor. The bowl will set you back $12.99, but it’s a large portion of goodness. Have a seat in the outdoor market and enjoy the sights.

Grilled Corn on the Cob, Harambe Fruit Market
Staying in the Africa section of the park, the Harambe Fruit Market is a small stand that serves grab and go snacks and drinks. Here, they also offer a grilled corn with the choice of adding curry based African spices. With or without the added spices the corn is perfectly grilled and stays sweet, crisp yet still juicy. It’s the perfect Disney food choice for an on-the-go group!
If this is your choice for snack, the cost is $5.29
Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit or Tiger Tail Chocolate Twist, Isle of Java
Some like a sweet treat to start their day while others prefer a savory protein to fuel the morning miles. The Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit or a Tiger Tail Chocolate Twist pastry will cover both.
The biscuit sandwich is freshly made, warm with a hint of spice from the sausage. The Tiger Tail is gooey and chocolaty. They both pair perfectly with the hot or cold Joffrey’s Coffee also available at Isle of Java on Discovery Island. The biscuit is $6.99 while the Tiger Tail total is $5.79.
Impossible Sliders, Nomad Lounge
If you want to sit and relax in a beautiful place with your snack, then choose to spend a few moments hanging at Nomad Lounge. Whether you are a plant-based eater or not, this Animal Kingdom Park snack is a great choice!
The sliders are perfectly prepared, and the texture of the meat substitute is spot on. This dish comes with Yucca Fries and costs $15.00. This lounge just outside of Pandora- The World of Avatar also has unique cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.

Night Blossom, Pongu Pongu
I’m including a frozen beverage on this list of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park snacks. If you want a really good, sweet and tangy frozen drink head to Pongu Pongu inside Pandora- The World of Avatar for the Night Blossom. This is a concoction of layered apple and dessert pear limeade topped with Boba balls. Best consumed after you scan into your lightning lane purchase for Flight of Passage and enjoyed the attraction!
You can choose the regular version ($6.29) or add some rum for the adult version (Rum Blossom $14.50).
Street Corn Tacos, The Smiling Crocodile
This Smiling Crocodile Kiosk is located on Discovery Island at the front of the park. This is where you will find GREAT tacos from 11am to 3pm. Street Corn Tacos are my FAVORITE snack at this park.
You can also get a Pulled Pork Street Taco or a Chicken Street Taco here. However, there is something about the sweetness of the corn and earthy flavors of the black beans that makes this option the best. This snack will cost you $9.99 and includes a side of chips and salsa.
Build Your Own Protein Bowl, Satu’li Canteen
It’s not technically a snack but a meal! Some individuals have bigger appetites than others. For those who need a protein filled snack to get through to dinner the bowls at Satu’li Canteen are perfect!
Satu’li Canteen in Pandora offers guests the choices of base (lettuce, rice, noodles, etc.), protein (chicken, steak, tofu, etc.) and toppings to create your own dish. Depending on the choices you make, the bowl will be around $9.
