Whether you initially decide to travel to Disney World for the rides or the Disney characters, I think we can all agree that, in the end, it was for the food. Disney is mostly known for its ginormous turkey legs and sweet pineapple dole whip, but we shouldn’t ignore their funnel cakes, especially Disney’s New Oreo Covered Funnel Cake.

A funnel cake is an American state fair food staple. It is made by pouring cake batter directly into a pot of hot oil through a funnel, hence the name funnel cake. Instead of a soft spongy cake, funnel cakes tend to be crispy and golden brown. Traditional funnel cakes are topped off with a dusting of powdered sugar and sometimes strawberries, but Disney wanted to do something different and more creative.
Disney’s New Oreo Covered Funnel Cake is a classic mouthwatering sweet, fried dough funnel cake topped with soft serve vanilla ice cream, Oreo cookie crumbs, and whipped cream. But wait, there’s more. It’s then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, drizzle of chocolate sauce, and finally, topped off with two Oreo cookies to make it look like Mickey’s ears. Wow, now that’s something worth traveling across the country for.
Where to Get It
Disney’s New Oreo Covered Funnel Cake is sold at Oasis Canteen in Disney World’s Epcot Resort and costs just under $9. Sadly, you can’t get this dessert at every Disney Amusement Park location.
Just look at this thing. A crisp funnel cake base topped with creamy ice cream, smooth chocolate sauce, and crunchy cookies—one dessert with so many different textures and flavors. It will definitely be a party for your taste buds. Plus, it’s so cute with its Mickey Mouse ears, making it definite Instagram bait.
Next time you’re traveling to Orlando, head straight to Epcot for Disney’s New Oreo Covered Funnel Cake. You might want to get to the park early before the line gets too long, but it would be worth the wait. Sure, it’s also a good idea to ride on some of the rollercoasters, but good food is a necessity.
