64 of Disney World’s sweetest, saltiest, crunchiest, and doughiest snacks entered the DFB Thunderdome of Snack Madness, but only ONE could be crowned the WINNER!
And while we last reported the final throwdown would be a battle between two HUGE titans, Dole Whip vs. Mickey Beignet, a winner has stepped forward to claim its snacky scepter and CROWN!
Many of our favorite snacks were defeated early on with rounds one, two, three and four proving to be huge upsets for some of Disney World’s most iconic treats! But when round five commenced and the powdered sugar dust cloud settled, it was only Dole Whip and Mickey Beignet who remained standing…
And now it’s Dole Whip that has been CHOSEN! You guys sure have a great appreciation for the CLASSICS — and we love you for it!
Here’s your winner, Dole Whip! Look at how cool and collected he looks — even after duking it out against 63 other snacks! What we wouldn’t give for a bowlful of this tropical goodness right about now — we don’t even need a spoon — we’ll just use our FACES!
We enjoyed playing Snack Madness with all you guys at home SO MUCH that we’ve decided to cook up ANOTHER food competition which we’ll be unleashing shorty!
We just want to let Dole Whip have its moment right now — don’t want to step on this well-seasoned warrior’s toes! Stay tuned for our next tournament which we’ll be announcing SOON!

Yay! We had Dole Whip all the way!!!
Hey AJ- how about a ride competition? Love the food but this could be fun too! Thanks for keeping us connected through this crazy time!!
Was pulling for Beignets but expected Dole Whip! Thank out for a fun game to entertain us while we spend so much time at home not “Home” as in “Welcome Home”.
This was awesome! We are diehard Disneyland fans, so we had to google a few of the items, but had so much fun…Mickey Pretzel was our winner!
So Happy my Favorite snack won! Of course, it’s even better with Rum and Pineapple Juice, a la Dole Whip Float!
I am sorry, but Dole whips are the one snack I avoid. I had the real ones at the Dole plantation in Hawaii and they are way too sweet and artificial tasting. The smell of them makes me nauseous, and I love pineapples! That being said, not everyone likes the same things, so for those of you who like to rock the Dole Whips, I salute you. Congratulations!
I figured the Dole Whip would win due to overall try rate by most people. I would think only a fraction have ever tried school bread or know what/where Kringla Bakery Og is lol. I don’t think basic non-specialized pretzels and popcorn(beat the Cronut) should have gotten as far in a competition where so many unique treats were in the running. Even the Mickey Bar is so generic in my book, had one like 15 yrs ago and never desired to get another because so many better more interesting ice cream options exist in Disney. I mean who wouldn’t take a fresh Auntie Gravity’s vanilla soft serve sundae over a bagged Mickey Bar?
