The Best Food at Disneyland If You Want Good Bang for Your Buck

The best food at Disneyland doesn’t have to bankrupt you, but I truly can’t fathom how a family is able to go to Disneyland anymore. Ticket prices are absolutely bonkers! And yet those sneaky little devils get us to flock there in droves every single day. So now that they’ve gotten us into the park, and drained our bank accounts in the process, we’re in need of some food that’ll fill us up without putting us into serious debt. That’s where I, a seasoned Disney snacker, come in clutch. I’ve scoured the parks in search of the best food at Disneyland if you want bang for your buck. No, none of these are what you’d call “cheap eats” at Disneyland, but they’ll keep you full while you wait in line for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (it’s still nuts, y’all).

Hand-Dipped Corn Dog ($11.29)

A beloved Disneyland staple, and for good reason. Disney’s corn dogs are big honkin’ things and they’ll easily keep you full for hours. Now, I do really wish these came with fries like Universal Studios’ corn dog, but the choice of a bag of chips or a Cuties mandarin orange is a nice consolation prize.

Troubadour Baked Potato ($9.29)

I am not one to waste food! Especially at a theme park where I’m spending a pretty penny on a snack. This is the one thing that’s bested me in the past year, though. This giant baked potato comes with simple fixin’s (butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, and green onions), but there’s usually a seasonal option for a few extra bucks if you want something a bit fancier for a pretty good price.

Chimichanga ($7.99)

What’s not to love about a fluffy tortilla that’s fried to give it a crunchy texture and filled until it’s about to burst? Oh and we haven’t even mentioned that Disney also offers a breakfast chimichanga to give the early risers something to look forward to. Hurry there, though, because it will sell out!

Fried Chicken Plate from Plaza Inn ($21.99)

This may seem out of place because of the price tag, but we’re talking about the best food at Disneyland that offers bang for your buck, and it’s a lot of food. This one’s for the families out there. Or just the un-single people who are at Disney. Split this with a buddy or your kids and you’ll all get full-on meal. But hey, at least I get to use the single riders line (I say to cope).

Quantum Pretzel ($14.49)

I know, I know. A pretzel, really? But this isn’t the dinky little Mickey shaped pretzel (though those are cute in their own right). We’re choosing function over form here. This gargantuan pretzel can feed a family of four and leave leftovers to bring home.
