New Snacks With Character Offer Better For You Snack Options at Disney Parks
by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager
The Official Disney Parks BLog
October 19th, 2015I’m delighted to share that guests now have new snack options at Disney Parks called Snacks with Character. This Disney-branded line of better-for-you snacks is great for guests looking for dietary alternatives related to food allergies or lifestyle choices. I recently spoke with Patrice Guy, merchandiser with Disney Theme Park Merchandise, about how these items were created.
“We listened to guests who said they wanted options when it comes to snacks at Disney Parks,” explained Patrice. “The Snacks with Character line was developed in collaboration with Merchandise Product Development, Food and Beverage Health and Wellness, Disney Design Group, and various suppliers in this field. We hope guests will enjoy these new tasty treats that are fun to share.”
To create these treats, Disney Theme Park Merchandise teamed up with well-known specialty suppliers such as Ocean Spray, Enjoy Life Foods, Way Better Snacks and WOW Baking Company. Several of the dietary needs addressed in the new assortment products include gluten-free, nut-free, and other allergy-friendly products.
The Snacks with Character line will launch with 11 new items. Look for the snack option from Ocean Spray later this year at Disney Parks.
Guests should look for these select items in merchandise locations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts, on Disney Cruise Line ships, and at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa.
Select food and beverage locations at Walt Disney World Resort will also carry Snacks with Characters.

Finally! This may seem like a small thing, but it was always frustrating that the "allergy" choices were normal, boring packaging. Everything else was "Disney", except that.
Glad to see it - and I hope they taste good!

It doesn't seem small to me. It's a HUGE undertaking. Lots of time and cost went into planning this and I appreciate it!

Half of the sugar free desserts are a flavor I hate: strawberry.

I'm sorry!
That happened to me once ... all of the peanut-free choices were strawberry, and I was with a friend allergic to strawberry. We had to go and get our treat somewhere else, since we didn't want either on the table.
