Ask Disney parks fan, and they'll probably tell you they have a favorite snack, if not a running list of them. From Dole Whip to Mickey-shaped beignets, Disney snacks have a nearly religious following.

Some items, like Cheeseburger Spring Rolls in Magic Kingdom's Adventureland and Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies at Trolley Car Cafe in Disney's Hollywood Studios, are exclusive to the parks, but you don't need park entry to sink your teeth into other iconic Disney treats.

Here are 10 of the most popular snacks at Walt Disney World and where you can find them outside of the parks at the Florida resort:

Dole Whip floats, with or without alcohol, are also available at both locations.
