Calories don’t count at Disney right?!? Well, you can least justify the extra indulgences from all of the walking that you will definitely be doing while on your vacation.

11 – Churros – Frontierland
Everyone loves a good churro, right? It is a perfect, familiar favorite! You can find them at Pecos Bills or at a cart across from Splash Mountain in Frontierland on the walk toward Adventureland. Churros are tasty!
10 – Tiramisu Cannoli – Tony’s Town Square, Main Street USA
Tiramisu Cannoli is a standard Italian dessert and this restaurant does it right. I just love all of the chocolate shavings on top, too. Not only that when it is served the plate has an adorable Lady and Tramp sharing their spaghetti etched in chocolate on the plate. You can’t beat the little details combined with a delicious taste. The location is right at the front of the park so it is extremely easy to get to as well.
9 – Mickey Waffle with Chocolate Hazelnut Spread – Sleepy Hollow, Liberty Square
This is definitely one of my favorites. Sometimes I even have this one for lunch and call it a health food since it has fresh fruit! The waffles are made fresh there at the location, and they are delicious. Then they top the fresh waffle with the Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread and fruit toppings. There are two different fresh fruit varieties you can get: bananas or bananas and berries. If you haven’t had one, try it on your next trip!
8 – Cinnamon Rolls – Gaston’s Tavern, New Fantasyland
You might be thinking that cinnamon rolls do not sound like a unique dessert item to have at Disney, well I’m here to tell you that these are absolutely amazing! It is one of the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. It is served warm and covered with delicious icing. It is also pretty huge, so you feel like you are getting a true indulgence. You don’t have to wait to have this for dessert either! It makes a perfectly acceptable breakfast that will definitely get you on a sugar high to start the day!
7 – Kungaloosh! – Skipper Canteen, Adventureland
Skipper Canteen is one of the newer dining locations at the Magic Kingdom. You definitely have to head over to Adventureland and check it out, but be sure to save room for dessert. The Kungaloosh is absolutely amazing is my must-have now when we go. The dessert is a delicious chocolate cake that is covered with caramelized bananas, cashew ice cream, and caramel ice cream. A coffee dust wafer-type topper on the top of the dessert and that coffee taste perfects the dish. The dessert is inspired from rich African flavors and everything about it is amazing!

Everyone loves ice cream! The ice cream at this spot is delicious, and it is nostalgic!
