15 Stunning Disneyland Foods and Drinks Worth Waiting in Line For

What: A light, pinkish grape soda infused with hints of peanut and topped with a fizzy foam. The secret here is in the subtlety, since neither the PB nor the J is too overpowering, but just present enough to remind you of after school snacks.

Where: Carnation Cafe, Main Street, Disneyland

What: The name Uh-Oa! can be one of two things: a sizable Tiki fishbowl filled with light and dark rums, various tropical juices, and a pinch of cinnamon; or what you'll say when you order the damn thing. Find it in the Enchanted Tiki Room-like Trader Sam's Bar at the Disneyland Hotel, along with plenty of chanting and a high chance of showers.

Where: Trader Sam's Bar at The Disneyland Hotel

What: Gorging indiscriminately on turkey legs and soda is so 1955 (we're guessing). In any case, Disney's classed it up a bit since Walt's days, and you can too, by pairing your own wines and cheeses on the Mendocino Terrace. The box also comes with extra packets of breadsticks, score.

Where: Mendocino Terrace, Pacific Wharf, California Adventure

What: This one's a doozy. Recipes vary by bartender, but expect three to five different kinds of rum including Bacardi 151 and just a "splash" of fruit juice. Just the thing to snap you out of zombie mode after a long day at the park, or send you right back into it.

Where: Cove Bar, Paradise Pier (behind Ariel's Grotto Restaurant), California Adventure

What: This mini-mountain is basically a crunchy, coconut crag crowned by delicate snow "cream." It's sweet and simple, and best of all, totally Insta-worthy. #vacationcaloriesdontcount

Where: Jolly Holiday Bakery, Main Street, Disneyland

What: When regular cinnamon just won't cut it, don't fret. These sundry flavored churros found outside the park are edgier and more inspired than your average deep-fried sugar stick. Pro-tip: save a pineapple one for dipping into your Tiki Room Dole Whip for an unimaginably indulgent treat.

Where: California Churro Cart, Downtown Disney (near The Lego Store)

What: Speaking of, Disneyland's Dole Whip soft serve is quite possibly the closest thing you'll get to tasting an orgasm in a cup (or whatever the PG version of that might be). Available as a plain soft serve or in a pineapple juice float, its lush, buttery, and tart flavors shine best when eaten slowly and deliberately, Ratatouille-style.

Where: The Enchanted Tiki Room, Adventureland, Disneyland

What: Perfectly sized and perfectly peanut buttery, the Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Sandwich is a bit more cookie than sandwich, but ideal for an in-park Reese's fix.

Where: Pooh's Corner, Critter Country, Disneyland

What: Consider these your next-level churros, deep fried dough breathed out into pillow form and dusted with a healthy amount of confectioner's sugar. We prefer the Jazz Kitchen versions because they're square and therefore slightly larger, but the Mickey-shaped ones really get you into the spirit. (You are, after all, in the happiest place on earth).

Where: Mint Julep Bar, New Orleans Square, Disneyland (also The Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney)

What: There are plenty of hidden gems on the back side of the park, but perhaps none as smack-yourself-upside-the-head surprising as the Lobster Roll at Harbour Galley, right by the exit of the Haunted Mansion. Inside a fluffy, butter-toasted roll goes a sparingly mayo'd lobster salad just tasty enough to make you forget it's mostly filler. Will it be the best lobster roll you've ever had? No. But is it one of the best foods you'll find inside the park? Abso-freaking-lutely.

Where: Harbour Galley, Critter Country, Disneyland

What: We suggest skipping the pool after trying these fellas. Tucked inside the Grand Californian, past the hotel entrance to California Adventure, is White Water Snacks, a cute place to grab a quick bite to eat . . . or knock yourself into a food coma for a few hours with any of their angus cheeseburgers or shredded beef nachos. Swap the carne asada for carnitas and you're onto some serious black magic.

What: I'll just out and say it: this chicken is crack. Deep fried, golden brown, salted-to-perfection crack. Forget the usual trumpets of turkey. The Plaza Inn serves up dinner just like mom used to when guests were over — fully dressed with green beans, mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls. Altogether it's as filling and homey as theme park food can be.

Where: Plaza Inn, Main Street, Disneyland

What: The chicken comes juiced up in a sweet orange glaze and spooned unfussily — along with chives, cole slaw, sour cream, and butter — into a steamy crevasse of baked starch. You'll need every bit with every bite (the chicken can be too sweet otherwise), but there's nothing better for fueling you up at snack time.

Where: Harbour Galley, Critter Country, Disneyland

What: No trip to Cove Bar is complete without washing everything down with a heavy helping of Lobster Nachos. There's nothing too crazy here: lobster pieces, cheese, black beans, gorgeously thick tortilla chips. The good news is there's plenty to go around, so bring a friend or four.

Where: Cove Bar, Paradise Pier, California Adventure

What: The ultimate indulgence, this sugar-powdered deep fried ham and cheese sandwich will set you back a not-insignificant $17 — (that's a whole parking pass!) — but it's well worth it, trust. Surprisingly ungreasy, the melty slabs of toast are sure to satisfy for an entire day. Sides of fruit and jam add a nice, fat-cutting, finishing touch.

Where: Cafe Orleans, New Orleans Square, Disneyland
