The Best Snacks You Can Find Exclusively at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
One of my favorite things to do is to grab a snack in the parks as I wander about. The snack could take the place of a meal or just hold me over a bit. Each park has snacks that they are know for and ones that people will go out of there way to get. Let’s take a look at the best snacks at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Welcome to the first stop aboard Magical Blogorail Orange. Enjoy the ride as we share our top 3 snacks from the Disney Parks.
Must Have Snack No 1 : Popcorn in Souvenir Buckets (Hollywood Boulevard)
Disney popcorn is known as some of the best in the world. People swear that somehow Disney makes it extra special and they look forward to it every trip. They say they best popcorn on property is right at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom.
That may be true but the popcorn anywhere on property is worth the snack credit! When in Disney’s Hollywood Studios head right up Hollywood Boulevard and grab a bucket of fresh pop.

You can also feel slightly less guilty with this snack. Disney popcorn is naturally gluten-free and since it is popped in coconut, corn, and canola oil, it is also vegan. Topped with kosher salt and it is the perfect snack to wander the Hollywood Studios with.
To make it extra special try it in one a souvenir buckets. During Star Wars Weekends you can find a limited edition popcorn bucket. Years pas have had R2-D2 and Darth Vader. For 2015, they have introduced the Han Solo in carbonite bucket.
Must Have Snack No 2 : Butterfinger Cupcake (Starring Roles Cafe)
At the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard you will find the best cupcake within Starring Rolls Cafe. This cupcake is not for the faint of heart as it is huge.
It is a chocolate cupcake with a mound (yes, mound) of vanilla frosting on top that is then covered in crushed butterfinger bars. And if that is not enough, peek inside and you will find a layer of fudge frosting.
This cupcake is really meant for two but more than person has been know to take it on alone.
In addition to this wonderful cupcake, Starring Roles Cafe features variety of fresh baked goods and is one of the few places open for breakfast. Seating is outdoors and limited but it is a great place to grab a bite anytime of day.
Must Have Snack No 3 : Carrot Cake Cookie (Sweet Spells)
The BEST snack in the Hollywood Studios is a ‘cookie’ that is the size of your head – the infamous carrot cake cookie. You used to be able to find this bit of heaven a a cozy bookstore coffee shop at called the Writer’s Stop at the front end of the streets of America.
But with the addition of Toy Story and Star Wars land The Writer’s Stop has closed and the carrot cake cookie has been relocated to Sweet Spells on Sunset Boulevard.
The carrot cake cookie is made from two LARGE carrot cake cookies that are soft and cake like. Sandwiched between them is a thick rich cream cheese filling
This cookie is not for those watching what they eat but is a sinful splurge while on vacation. It’s one of those desserts you can only have once in a while.
Must Have Snack Bonus Snack : Snowball (Holidays Only)
Since this one is seasonal it is a bonus snack.
If you are at Walt Disney World at Christmas time visiting the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights was a must (still sad about it ending).
During the holidays the parks offer a bit of extra merriment with inspired drink concoctions (alcoholic and non). My favorite can be found at Yuletide Cheer towards the back of Pixar Place. Here they offer a selection of holiday cocktails. But the best one is the Snowball.

This creamy cocktail includes Kahlua, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Amaretto, Half and Half, Whipped Cream, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. It will definitely make the season merry and bright.

Those are definitely good ones! I haven’t had that Butterfinger cupcake yet, but it’s definitely on my to-eat list 😉 Do you have a nice collection of popcorn buckets? That R2D2 one is so cute!
I can’t believe I’ve never tried the snowball. 🙂 But I do love the Carrot Cake Cookie. Want to share one in October??
When it comes to Disney snacks, Mary, for me personally, nothing compares to a freshly popped popcorn! I have had the Carrot Cake Cookie, but thought it was way too sweet, and also feel like the Butterfinger Cupcake would have the same result. Thanks for such a great start to the loop! Which is your favorite?
Great snack choices! The carrot cake cookie is definitely our Go-To Hollywood Studios snack. It’s not a trip to the park without one! Is that your favorite too?
omgAWD. That cookie!!! Looks SO good. 🙂 YUM!
Oh my goodness!! I am ready to go to HS and start snacking right now! I think I will start with that carrot cake cookie.. then work my way into the butterfinger cupcake!!! LOVE butterfingers!!! I have not had any of these snacks.. but that will change next time I am in HS! If you could only pick one… which would it be? 🙂
Souviner buckets are my favorite! I have soooo many at home!
Those are GOOD snack options – we had the R2D2 popcorn bucket, but it’s now broken and gone… and those cupcakes at Starring Rolls are good. I have to admit, though, the carrot cake cookie doesn’t do it for me. BUT – I do love Writer’s Stop for their coffee – have you ever tried it? I swear it’s the best on property!
Popcorn and cupcakes are my 2 favorite types of snacks. I especially love getting popcorn in a souvenir bucket too! The carrot cake cookie is now on my must try list. Have you ever tried to make any WDW flavor cupcakes at home? We tried to make the Butterfinger ones. So good!
The snowball sounds like reason enough to go to WDW during the holiday season – as if I needed another reason to go to Walt Disney World LOL!
For years, YEARS, our must-have snack at WDW was popcorn; yes we loved it, but we needed the souvenir bucket. It was our “rinser” for every nighttime bath for about 12 years. Snacks are memory makers!!
I totally agree with #1 and #2. However, I do not like cream cheese, so I’ve never had the carrot cake cookie. Can you get it without the cream cheese filling?
How many popcorn buckets do you have? Sadly I only have two but I LOVE them so much I never want to give them up so I find ways to use them at home for toy storage.
