Almost Free Traveling

We pack lots of snack and lunch food in when we head to Disney parks, but it’s never enough; walking 20,000+ steps a day past all the delicious smells makes us also want to buy all the Disney snacks and food! To keep it affordable, here’s a list of over 25 different snacks & light meals you can find in one or sometimes both parks for $10 or under (we’ve organized them by park and land, roughly clockwise around each park)

DISNEYLAND

Amazing, cheap Disneyland snacks are everywhere, you just have to know where to look. There are snacks for sale at carts all over Disneyland; the ones listed here are crowd favorites.

Main Street

Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe

The Raspberry Rose Macaron $5.49 is our favorite cookie in this store (and our favorite treat between both parks), but there’s also lots of other options you can mobile order at Jolly Holiday for under $10, including an oven-roasted turkey on Ciabatta for $9.99!

Little Red Wagon

With a delicious Hand-dipped Corn Dog with dipping sauce and choice of Chips or apples for $9.79, this cart has fed our family of five many times. The location by Town Square makes this a fun place to eat and watch characters and people go by.

Adventureland

Tiki Juice Bar

Dole Whip soft serves are $5.99 and a Dole Whip Float is only $6.79 at this cart; we like to mobile order these while we’re in line for Indiana Jones a few steps away, then pick them up after!
