4. Gelato in Italy

Having originated in Italy, Gelato is an obvious choice when it comes to snacking inside the pavilion. That being said, there are a number of other items like cannolis and tiramisu that are equally iconic and just as delicious. But Gelato brings an opportunity to try many different flavors that would appeal to you, making the choosing of flavors the most difficult step in the process. In addition to the standard flavors, the Italian Gelato Kiosk has combinations of their own, including *varying by season* Coppa Amicizia (Cookies and Cream, Strawberry and Vanilla Gelato topped with Mango Sauce, Whipped Cream and Whole Raspberries) or for a caffeine infusion, the Espresso Gelato “Affogato” (Fresh Italian Espresso poured over Vanilla Gelato, Topped with Chocolate Coffee Beans and Amaretto cookies).

3. School Bread in Norway

As one of the signature snacks in Walt Disney World, School Bread is on many Disney bucket lists. At the Kringla Bakeri og Kafe in Norway, there are several delicious pastries that warrant your attention, but none are as sought-after as the School Bread. A sweet bun is filled with a vanilla custard with a glaze on top and toasted coconut to complete this iconic snack. It’s a truly unique item that has its own fan-following with the tradition behind the snack and the satisfying way it fills you up without feeling overly heavy. If you haven’t tried it, make sure you add it to your must-do list for your next visit.
