Theme parks may not exactly be known for their elevated culinary experiences, but Disney has stepped up its food game in recent years and moved outside the realm of humdrum burgers and fries.
As Disneyland and Disney World begin to reopen in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, many foodies are once again heading back to the parks' many restaurants.
While we've already told you about some of the most amazing restaurants in Disney parks, what about the food you can't find on a menu? Disney theme parks (especially Disneyland) have a slew of delicious, over-the-top secret menu items that you can enjoy, from colorful cocktails to loaded tater tots.
We've done the dirty work for you and rounded up the most tempting dishes, including exactly where and how to get them.
The cinnamon bun and candied bacon cheeseburger from All-Star Movies Resort World Premiere food court is a new level of decadence.
The All-Star Movies resort launched a secret menu in 2017. If you head to the Roxy counter and ask about the secret menu items, they'll give you a suitcase full of Viewfinder toys through which you can view your tempting secret menu items.
At the top of that list? The candied bacon cheeseburger smushed between two icing-swirled cinnamon buns.
You can also get poutine with gravy and cheese curds.
This Canadian take on french fries is also available at the All-Star Movies resort.
The bacon mac-and-cheese dog from All-Star Movies resort World Premiere food court goes great with fries.
You can't go wrong with melted cheese, bacon, and a hot dog all in one place. This is the third, and arguably the most tempting secret menu option at the All-Star Movies Resort.
Mickey's Fun Wheel at California Adventure's Cove Bar is a secret alcoholic drink.
At Cove Bar in Disney's California Adventure, there's an entire menu of secret alcoholic drinks, and they're all creative twists on the classic Long Island iced tea.
The most memorable has got to be the rainbow-colored "Fun Wheel," which is made with pineapple juice, passion fruit vodka, and blue curaçao mixed with classic Long Island iced tea ingredients (vodka, rum, triple sec, gin, and a splash of soda).
The mac and cheese sourdough bread bowl at the Pacific Wharf Cafe in Disney's California Adventure used to be a secret menu item.
The Pacific Wharf Cafe used to have one doozy of a secret menu item: cheesy pasta on top of a sourdough bread bowl that they usually serve soup in. The item is now on the official menu.
Some Disney fans have found a way to order "ice cream nachos" at The Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland, Disneyland.
The ice cream "nachos" that you can order at this casual Frontierland restaurant are made with waffle cone "chips" topped with scoops of mint chocolate chip, vanilla, and strawberry, and drizzled generously with hot fudge, strawberry sauce, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and cherries.
Be forewarned: According to the Disney Food Blog, they don't always have every ingredient available.
The Spikey Pineapple is an alcoholic version of the famous Dole Whip.
Dole Whip is perhaps one of the most iconic drinks at Disney resorts, and you can get a rum-filled adult version at multiple locations, including Trader Sam's at Disney World's Polynesian Resort and the Coffee House in Disneyland.
Flo's V8 Cafe in Cars Land, California Adventure, has a Neapolitan ice cream shake topped with cookie "gravel."
Fly as fast as Lightning McQueen to this Cars-themed café at Cars Land in California Adventure to order the secret Neapolitan shake. It's made with layers of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream, and topped with whipped cream and cookie crumble "road gravel."
You can get this chili mac-and-cheese bread bowl at the Coca-Cola Refreshment Corner on Main Street in Disneyland.
We will never tire of Mickey-shaped foods. The Refreshment Center on Main Street in Disneyland will — upon request — fill your bread bowl with half chili, half mac 'n cheese, and top it with a healthy sprinkling of shredded cheese.
The Neverland tea from Cove Bar in California Adventure is a play on a Long Island iced tea.
This is another one of the Long Island iced tea riffs available at Cove Bar. Of course, the drink's classic vodka, gin, and rum combo are still potently present, but it's also mixed with peach schnapps, pineapple juice, and Sprite, as well as a dash of midori to make for a vibrant Neverland color.
Reviews say this drink is cloyingly sweet, so be prepared for a sugar rush.
The Galactic "Alien"-style burger at the Galactic Grill in Tomorrowland is not for the faint of heart.
Get an out-of-this-world burger experience at the Galactic Grill in Tomorrowland. If you ask for your Galactic Burger "alien style," you'll get it topped with melted cheddar and American cheese, grilled onions, Thousand Island sauce, and a bunch of fries.
The Zocalo burrito from Rancho del Zocalo in Frontierland isn't listed on the menu.
The secret burrito has three kinds of meat, rice, and beans, all wrapped in a tortilla and topped with tomatillo, guajillo, cilantro, and cheese to resemble the Mexican flag.
The Galaxy loaded fries at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Lounge in the Magic Kingdom come topped with "Flaming Hot Cheese Dust."
These over-the-top and spicy fries are also loaded with bacon, pico relish, garlic ranch sauce, jalapeños, and cheese.
