Disney’s Hollywood Studios is where movie magic and thrilling adventures come to life, but did you know it’s also a snacker’s paradise? From churros and Mickey pretzels to refreshing fruit cups and sweet tarts, this park offers plenty of budget-friendly bites that won’t break the bank. As a Disney-loving mom and budget traveler, I’ve made it my mission to find the best snacks under $10. Here are my personal favorite stops and tips of the Must-Try Hollywood Studios Snacks!
Hollywood Boulevard Snacks
Start your day with a stroll down Hollywood Boulevard, where vintage charm meets caffeine magic at The Trolley Car Café (aka Starbucks).
I must admit, I am not a coffee drinker, but my girls love an iced coffee and a Mickey-shaped chocolate chip cookie or cinnamon roll to kick off the morning. You can also grab breakfast sandwiches or pastries all for under $10.
It’s the perfect start before heading to your favorite rides!
Sunset Boulevard Snacks
For a quick healthy bite, take a right toward Sunset Boulevard, home of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. Stop at Anaheim Produce, one of my favorite open-air snack markets.
This place offers fresh fruit and veggie cups range from $2.29–$4.19, and if you’re craving something salty or sweet, grab a churro or classic Mickey pretzel, these are still under $10! My kids and I love sharing that warm, smiling Mickey pretzel between rides.
Nearby, Rosie’s All-American Café serves up comfort favorites like cheeseburgers and nuggets for kids around $8.49, and the peach cobbler for $5.49 is a hidden gem dessert.
Right next door, Catalina Eddie’s has pizza and meatball subs.
I absolutely love stopping at Fairfax Fare for their Mickey waffle bowls with syrup. It is a sweet and filling breakfast for just $9.49. And If you’re looking for a hearty, shareable lunch bowl, Fairfax serves barbecued beef brisket, barbecued pork, or buffalo chicken bowls, priced around $14.49 to $15.29. Just a little tip from experience, maybe save those heavier meals for after riding the Tower of Terror!
Pixie Dust Tip: They also serve allergy-friendly pizzas that are gluten, wheat, egg, milk, and peanut-free.
Pixar Plaza & Toy Story Land Snacks
When we spend time in Pixar Plaza or Toy Story Land, I always plan for snack stops because the food here is fun and themed for kids and grown-ups alike.
The Market or Neighborhood Bakery, hidden in the corner, offers quick bites like bananas, nachos, popcorn, chips, and the famous Jack-Jack Num Num Cookie for all under $10.
At Woody’s Lunch Box, you’ll find some of my favorite hearty snack options:
- Chocolate or strawberry Lunch Box Tarts – $4.99. A little caky for our taste, but still good.
- Breakfast Bowl – $8.79 (potato barrels, smoked brisket gravy, and eggs) So, so good and filling.
- Kids’ Breakfast Bowl – $5.99. Perfect size for the little ones.
My personal favorite: the Three-Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich for $10.99. It’s warm, gooey, and worth every bite.
And if you want something savory, the famous Totchos, which I love by the way, these are only $10.49. A filling bowl of tater tots topped with chili, queso, and corn chips. Also great for sharing!
Star Wars Galaxy Edge Snacks
Get ready to travel to another galaxy on the planet Batuu! Here, the snacks are as unique as the setting.
Stop by Kat Saka’s Kettle for the colorful Outpost Popcorn Mix for $5.49. It’s a sweet and salty galactic treat. No matter your like, everyone wants to cool off with a Blue or Green Milk ($9.29) from the Milk Stand, it’s a must-try at least once!
If you’re looking for something more filling, Ronto Roasters serves the delicious Ronto Wraps. The breakfast or lunch versions packed with meats, eggs, and sauce in warm pita bread. They’re over $10, but I count them as a full meal worth the price!
Grand Avenue & Beyond
As you make your way toward Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, stop at Epic Eats because here they serve up funnel cakes, waffle cones, and root beer floats all for under $10.
And don’t skip Ice Cold Hydraulics on Grand Avenue for all the Disney snack classics: churros, popcorn, Mickey ice cream bars, pretzels, frozen lemonade, and cotton candy. These are all budget-friendly favorites.
A Toast to Hollywood!
While the kids enjoy Mickey treats, adults can sip on creative themed drinks or local craft beers found throughout the park. They might not be under $10, but they’re worth a try if you’re looking for something special.
My Final Thoughts
Disney’s Hollywood Studios proves you don’t have to spend big to enjoy big flavor. Whether you’re munching on a Mickey pretzel, sipping a cold brew, or trying galactic popcorn, there’s something fun and affordable around every corner.
Pixie Dust Tip: Many snacks are shareable, so splitting one between the family means you can try more treats without overspending!
