Japan With Kids: The 5 Best Snacks In Tokyo Disneyland

The food at Tokyo Disneyland was amongst some of the best theme park food I’ve ever eaten! In fact, there were some Tokyo Disneyland snacks that stood out as delicious dishes in their own right. Which I’ve never said about the food in any other theme park!

The boys both regularly talk about the snacks they ate in Tokyo Disneyland, and are already planning the ones they’re going to try when we go back next year. And the food here is so wonderfully, refreshingly, cheap too!

Which is what gave me the idea for this piece. Just for fun, here’s our rundown of the 5 best snack foods at Tokyo Disneyland:

Toy Story Alien Mochi

These are probably the most well-known and iconic Tokyo Disneyland snack. I’m not actually sure who loved these more: me or the kids! Every time we passed somewhere selling them, we got another tub.

They come in 3 different flavours, and you get an assortment of each. The flavours are chocolate, strawberry and custard.

These are firm but gooey, sweet without being too sweet. A 10/10 snack that’s kid and parent approved!

You can buy this in both of the Tokyo Disneyland Parks. We got them from Galactic Grill novelty, the popcorn stand across from the haunted mansion, and Mama Biscotti’s Bakery in the Mediterranean Harbour.

These cost 400 yen for a tub of 3. (That’s £2.05 based on todays’ exchange rate).

Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Sandwich Bar

This isn’t a snack that’s unique to Tokyo Disneyland, but it’s the thing my boys ask for in every Disney Park, so it needed a spot on the list. The humble Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwich bar.

These aren’t a personal favourite because the biscuit is soft, whereas I prefer a crunchy cookie. But they are a good price for the size, and the ice cream is good quality too. They remind me of a classic oreo cookie sandwich.

You can get these everywhere! You’ll find roving ice cream trucks all over the park.

Each ice cream sandwich costs 350 yen (£1.79)

The Popcorn

I could write a whole post about the popcorn in Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea! This isn’t just ordinary popcorn: it comes in a weird and wonderful array of flavours and is an icon in its own right.

The queues for the popcorn carts are always super long as a result, so we made sure we got our popcorn fix early in the day, pretty much as the carts were opening.

The flavours available right now included caramel, milk chocolate (which is photographed above), soy sauce and butter, honey, curry, salt, black pepper, white chocolate, corn pottage, strawberry napoleon, salted caramel, cheddar cheese, and milk tea.

When we visited we also tried a garlic shrimp flavour popcorn, which was much more delicious than you might expect!

A regular box of popcorn is 400 yen (£2.05) and the prices are much higher if you would like one of the coveted souvenir popcorn buckets.

Mike Wazowski Melon Bread

We’d never tried melon bread before we visited Japan, and i embarrassingly admit that I thought it would taste like melon! Actually it is its sweet sugary crust that gave it the appearance of a melon and therefore its name.

This is like a plain bread roll with a generous custard filling. The flavour is very gentle, and this is a great ‘fill you tummy up’ snack for kids. We gave the boys these whilst we were waiting for the parade. They took ages to eat, and left them so full that they didn’t ask for any more snaks for hours. Total mum win!

Each Mike Wasowski melon pan costs 500 yen (That’s £2.56!).

Egg And Chicken Chinese Bun

Less of a snack and more of a whole meal inside a Mickey glove! My husband absolutely loved this Chinese bun.

The bun itself was soft and fluffy, and it was packed full of egg and chicken. There was plenty of sauce too.

We ordered this in the restaurant inside Toon Town, which was a great place to sit and watch the children play. To order the bun on its own cost 600 yen (£3.07). You could also get this as part of a meal set with fries and a soft drink for 1,140 yen (£5.84).
