Disney World popcorn is a classic snack — one that has long been a favorite of mine too. Whether you’re enjoying a box of freshly popped popcorn as you stroll down Main Street U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom or sharing a bucket of popcorn while waiting to watch a Disney parade. chances are popcorn is a favorite of yours too.
Disney World’s freshly popped popcorn, found at a variety of outdoor kiosks throughout the Disney World theme parks, has long been gluten free, dairy free, and even vegan. It used to be made with Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn, and back in fall 2015, it was announced that Pop Secret would become the new popcorn brand for all freshly made popcorn at the Disney Parks.
Thankfully, despite the popcorn brand change, the freshly made popcorn at Disney is still gluten free, dairy free, and vegan.
(Note: This does not apply to pre-packaged and pre-prepared popcorn or the flavored popcorn at Epcot. Always double-check ingredients to confirm if these types of popcorn are safe for your special dietary need).

As you can see, the popcorn oil does not contain any dairy, but is canola oil and coconut oil based. Despite this, you’d swear that the Disney popcorn was filled with butter. It tastes really buttery and rich without all the dairy containing ingredients.

The popcorn salt and popcorn are simple ingredients and make the perfect base for Disney’s classic freshly popped popcorn.

Frontera Cocina is one of Disney Springs newest restaurant offerings, and while I love this table service restaurant, I absolutely love that they have a to go counter. I’m such a huge Mexican food lover that getting tacos to go is pretty much my favorite thing ever.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a full post on Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC, the allergy-friendly bakery located at Disney Springs. Of course, I go all the time to get my sweets fix, but I thought it might be nice to cover some of the new options in the bakery.
Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC, formerly known as Babycakes NYC, is a bakery that is free of gluten/wheat, soy, dairy, egg, and is refined sugar free, vegan, and kosher. It’s also the only 100% gluten free bakery that I know of in the Orlando area.

Cookes of Dublin is one of my go-to quick service spots at Disney Springs, offering gluten free and dairy free fish and chips, shrimp and chips, and more. Because it’s a great safe quick service and delicious (how can anything gluten free deep fried not be?!), it’s one I frequent a lot.
