Disney is known for being one of the best places for allergy-friendly dining and those with special dietary needs, and for those hoping to maintain their Kosher diet while indulging in Disney themed snacks on their vacation have no need to worry. This is a list of the best Kosher friendly Disney snacks.
Mickey Ice Cream Bar
The iconic Mickey Ice Cream bar is a favorite of many guests and is always OU-D Kosher. This is a perfect treat for a hot day that can be found at snack carts in any of the four Walt Disney World parks and even at Disney Springs.
Dole Whip
Dole Whip is another Disney treat that is great on those hot Florida days. All of the fruit flavors of Dole Whip (pineapple, lemon, orange, raspberry, lime, strawberry) are all vegan and Kosher.
There is also a vanilla soft serve that can be found at certain locations that is used for Dole Whip Floats. The vanilla Dole Whip in Magic Kingdom is reported to be OU-D, but not in the other parks or at Disney Springs. Be sure to double check with Cast Members if ordering a float containing vanilla soft serve.
Night Blossom
In Animal Kingdom’s Pandora – World of Avatar guests can find the Night Blossom. This frozen drink is Kosher friendly, even down to the vegan boba bubbles they use to top it off. It is similar to an icee, and is apple and pear flavored with passion fruit boba on top. This is a great and unique Kosher drink option in the park.
Mickey Pretzel
One of the most popular snacks in Walt Disney World, Mickey Pretzels are also Kosher friendly. The classic salted Mickey Pretzel is OU certified, but as always be sure to check the packaging to be safe.
Popcorn
Popcorn can be found all over the parks. The butter flavoring that they use on the popcorn is OU certified Kosher, adding this snack to our list. Guests can enjoy one bag or, if they plan on eating it frequently in the parks, they could purchase one of the adorable popcorn buckets for cheap refills.
In addition to the regular butter flavored popcorn, Epcot has a specialty Maple Popcorn in the Canada Pavilion. This popcorn is a perfect combination of sweet and salty and is simply delicious, not to mention also Kosher friendly.
Blue & Green Milk
Located exclusively in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, both the blue and green milk are Kosher friendly and vegan. The flavored milks are a lightly sweet, semi frozen drink that guests can find at the Milk Stand in Galaxy’s Edge.
Baked Goods
If guests are looking for a dining location to cater to multiple dietary preferences, look no further than Erin McKenna’s Bakery. All of the baked goods at Erin McKenna’s Bakery in Disney Springs are gluten free, vegan, peanut free, and certified Kosher. This location has dozens of baked treats from cookies and cakes to donuts. Since everything is certified Kosher, guests will not only have a ton of different options, they can also feel confident in what they are eating. Our favorites at this location are the coffee cake and thin mint cookies.

May I ask for a source on the milk drinks being kosher? I was at the parks after the publication of this article and asked; the Cast Members called a higher-up and told me it was not kosher (and wouldn’t let me see the box). What does “kosher friendly” mean in this case? Are they certified by a specific organization or rabbi?
Great question! Kosher friendly in this case means that it meets the basic criteria of being kosher by not mixing meat and dairy products or containing any shellfish or pork. The blue and green milk in Galaxy’s Edge are vegan and therefore meet the basic criteria of being Kosher. However, this will depend on how closely you are following kashrut, hence why they are “Kosher friendly”. These drinks are not certified OU-D like some of the other snacks on the list which may be why Disney stated that they are not Kosher. We hope you found some other tasty snacks in Disney World!
you say popcorn and mickey pretzels are o-u certified do you by any have proof of this by certificate
Hi Cheryl,
If you ask the cast member at the dining location they will be able to provide you details about Kosher items available at their location. Each dining location also has a large binder with details about each food item offered and the ingredients. The binder also has information about kosher items/ingredients if the cast member does not know off hand.
