Baguettes
Price: $3.95
Location: Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in EPCOT, Walt Disney World Resort
The French bakery Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in EPCOT is home to plenty of delicious specialties and desserts. Alex Smith, owner and writer at Second Dad to the Right, has pinched pennies with his family many times while visiting Walt Disney World. Grabbing a full baguette, fresh from the oven at $3.95, is one of their favorite snack hacks.
“You can get an entire baguette for under $4!” said Smith, adding that the full baguettes are over two feet long.
Guests who still want the baguette snacking experience but might not have someone to split it with can order the half baguette. This is priced at $2.75 and arrives freshly baked.

Warm Cinnamon Roll
Price: $6.99
Location: Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World Resort
If you’re looking for breakfast to split with family members or friends, don’t hesitate to order the warm cinnamon roll sold at Gaston’s Tavern.
Smith told GOBankingRates these cinnamon rolls are “roughly the size of a cantaloupe.”
He continued, “It’s the perfect breakfast to split four ways for a family in a hurry to get to the park.” We did the math and a family of four splitting the warm cinnamon roll would pay about $1.75 per person.
Waffle Cristo — Half Order
Price: $6.99
Location: Royal Street Veranda in New Orleans Square, Disneyland Resort
Searching for cheap breakfast at Disneyland? Sondra Barker, writer at Cuisine and Travel, recommends ordering the half order of the Waffle Cristo at Royal Street Veranda in New Orleans Square.
A half order of the Waffle Cristo includes everything the full order has, but costs $6.99 compared to the full order’s $10.99 price tag. Barker said the portions are pretty large and just as filling as full order.
Pridelands Potato
Price: $8.49
Location: Troubadour Tavern in Fantasyland, Disneyland Resort
What makes the Pridelands Potato, which is $8.49 at Disneyland’s Troubadour Tavern, worth the buy is the potato’s loaded nature.
Barker said these potatoes are topped with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits and green onions, making it both filling and affordable.
Cheeseburger Spring Rolls
Price: $9.50
Location: Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World Resort
If you spot the Spring Roll Cart, or Wagon, at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Park, do not miss out on the chance to order their Cheeseburger Spring Rolls.
Keri Baugh, family travel blogger at Bon Voyage With Kids, has been to Walt Disney World over 100 times and is a big fan of any cheap snacks which can be passed off as a meal. Baugh said guests receive two spring rolls for $9.50 with their order. If you split with two people, you’d essentially be paying $4.75 per spring roll.
Orange Cream Soft-Serve Cup
Price: $5.29
Location: Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom Park, Walt Disney World Resort
What’s a trip to Disney Parks without soft serve? In an article on Insider, writer Jenna Clark chronicled her week of finding the cheapest eats at Walt Disney World Resort. Clark recommended the orange cream soft-serve cup sold at Sunshine Tree Terrace in the Magic Kingdom as the perfect refreshing sweet treat.
