There are over 400 dining options at Disney World. The resort is your foodie oyster!
But let’s talk about the best part of your Disney World food adventure — the snacks! Or should I say the BEST snack that you can get at “The Most Magical Place on Earth?!”
Disney World is full of incredible and iconic snacks, like the DOLE Whip, cheeseburger spring rolls, and corn dog nuggets. But forget about those!

For the best snack at Disney World, you’ll want to head to the Main Street Confectionery, located at the beginning of Main Street, U.S.A., in Magic Kingdom Park, right across from the Emporium. Once in the Confectionery, head to the back corner.
It is there where you will find the hidden gem, Kernel Kitchen.

What is so fun about this experience is that the lovely cast members who work at the Kernel Kitchen make it in front of you! So, as you pick your popcorn, syrup, and toppings, they add everything to order.
If you would like popcorn, syrup, and two toppings, it will set you back $12.99. For guests who want popcorn, syrup, and three toppings, the cost is $13.99. If you want more than three toppings, each additional topping is $1.00. And we definitely won’t blame you if you add some more toppings. Sometimes, if you ask really nicely, the cast member may even let you have more than one kind of syrup.

If you can’t decide on which toppings you want, there are some Main Street Favorites you can choose from. Those are combos that Disney came up with, so you can taste what they think are the best combos.
What makes this delicious treat so great is that the portions are definitely big enough to share. One portion is also big enough to last you a few days. Of course, we wouldn’t blame you if you ate it all in one sitting. It’s just that good!
