Edelweiss Snacks

I’m going to have to put this place in the «good idea on paper» category. I always see people walking around the park eating those huge turkey legs, and they smell soooo good! My husband has been wanting to try one forever, and I finally gave in at the park last night. I ordered one turkey leg, a chili lime corn on the cob, and a bag of chips for the kids. The total was about $ 19, $ 10 of which was the turkey leg. It was actually really good, super hot and tender. The problem is the obvious issue: it’s a REALLY messy meal to eat at an amusement park! A turkey leg has a lot of little bones, which made it tricky to navigate. The corn was pretty tasty, and a good treat for when you’re trying to eat semi-​healthy at the park (as impossible as that can be!). Overall, I’m not sure I would get the turkey leg again, but it was worth the try.

Yum! This is the best place to get your turkey legs and grilled corn. My husband and I ate here when we were at Disneyland. The turkey legs were warm, tender and juicy… So good! Even the other stands here at Disneyland and Cali Adventure don’t compare. Also I ordered the Chili-​lime flavored corn (2). Delicious! Too bad they ran out of «Butter» flavor or else i’d also order that to try as well.
Came out to about $ 25.50 for one turkey leg and two corns to share. Not bad for theme park food and filled us up for the evening!

$ 10 turkey leg gets a gigantic tender tasty meat on bone, quite satisfying for meat craving. May seem pricey, but what isn’t in Disneyland with burgers $ 10+? Try standing in rides queue with turkey leg in hand, and you’ll get many envious looks asking where to buy one!

Look for the little Swiss cabin near It’s a Small World on your way to the Matterhorn in FantasyLand. Here you’ll find turkey leg and corn on the cob. People must have all had the same idea I did. It was about 7pm and a bit cold so I was craving a nice hot, juicy turkey leg ($ 10.49). The line was about 15 deep and took a half hour.
When we got to the front, they were out of buttered corn on the cob so I had to get the chili lime which was ok but I’m not a huge chili seasoning fan. They also have chimichangas and beverages.
There’s a seating area to eat at right nearby which was nice since turkey leg can get messy so it’s better to sit down. The turkey leg and corn was good amount of food to share with my boyfriend, especially since I’m a picky poultry eater.
Everyone’s reviews I read talked about some awesome pork shank sold here but there were no signs of that here so maybe they discontinued it.
Ok, one of my must have Disneyland foods is now checked off the list!

BF likes the place because 1) it’s called Edelweiss and it reminds him of the Sound of Music, one of his favorite movies, and 2) they are the only place to get a pork shank that I know of. Edelweiss Snacks is nestled right by the Matterhorn, close to where the old Motorboat Cruise attraction used to be. Other than chimichangas and corn-​on-​the-​cob, they sell pork shanks, which are very similar to turkey legs as they are huge, but they have a slightly sweet BBQ glaze. It’s pretty darn good, worth sharing, and doesn’t end up tasting lke ham halfway through, which I have found when eating a Disneyland turkey leg. Unfortunately, no AP discounts here.
Even though they aren’t quite an ODV (outdoor vending cart), there’s no dedicated seating area, but it’s situated where you can find a bench (like near the Matterhorn) or a ledge in the Small World mall area or near the smoking section by the old Motorboat Cruise area (not the best choice if you are sensitive to cigarette smoke though) to sit and enjoy your spoils.
EDIT: just saw some recent reviews that the pork shank may be no more here. Must investigate during next trip. That would be a great loss should this be gone from the parks!

Just a little stand located in Disneyland right next to Small World, They serve a variety of snacks, including turkey legs, pork shanks, and chimichangas.
I am not really a big fan, since most of the selection meat.

NO MORE PORK SHANK!!! :(they discontinued it all last week. SO SAD. Never got to try it WAH. They said it was costing them more compared than making money… Come on bring this back!!! Petition now. Now there’s nothing that makes this place stand out compared to other food stands. Gonna go cry in my corner now

Edelweiss Snacks is a surprising place to find a really tender and delicious glazed pork shank in Disneyland. Although it’s hard to resist getting a corn dog at Disneyland, the glazed pork shank is a very close second choice. We came close to the time it opened, and there was a short line. However, it started getting longer around noon. We tried:
–Glazed Pork Shank ($ 9.79,
): Really, really good. The pork shank is really tender and falls off the bone, and it’s super flavorful. It’s a big portion for one person since it’s a good amount of meat, and if you share you can get a corn dog later on! Highly recommended.
–Chili Lime Corn on the Cob ($ 4.79,
): Just ok. The chili lime wasn’t very flavorful, and the corn wasn’t that sweet. I wouldn’t get this again.
There are benches in front of Edelweiss to sit and eat at, and also plenty of tables/​chairs on a dock type area behind Edelweiss. I will definitely back here for the pork shank the next time I’m at Disneyland!

The line at the main jumbo turkey leg cart was so long and we went to Edelweiss instead.
So glad we went here because there were only 2 people in front of us.
Jumbo turkey leg ($ 9.79): Who knows you can get a good workout at Disneyland? No, I am not talking about burning calories from walking all day. The jumbo turkey leg is so heavy that it feels like lifting weight after a while. The turkey leg is juicy but very bland :(Be careful biting into its cartilage.
Other items on the menu:
Glazed pork shank ($ 9.79)
Chimichanga ($ 6.29)
Corn on the cob ($ 4.79)
Some people eat at this hidden place to watch the fireworks. I watched so many fireworks at Disneyland and that was the spot for me. I love fireworks but it’s like falling in love all over again. Okay, maybe for the sixth times: P
QUICK TIP: ANNUAL PASS DISCOUNT IS NOT AVAILABLE.
3 stars! I am being generous with this review but I enjoy sitting there.
Edelweiss Snack is almost yummylicious!

I really enjoyed this place. Nice area to sit. At night while the crowd gathers on Main Street to get one of these heavy and huge turkey legs, they wait in a long line. This place no line and right around the corner from the best spot to watch the fireworks. This spot was way better to watch fireworks than Main Street. It was like a fantasy watching from here and like being next to super large movie screen. ;) Very romantic spot with the right person. :) I don’t recommend this to everyone cuz then it’ll be to crowded. ;)

If you like microwaved burritos from 7-​eleven, the chimichanga at Edelweiss is for you. I just so happen to like them… and so do my kids. One is big enough to split for a snack (we shared a few along with a frozen apple juice for each of us).
I’ll be back to try the pork shank.

Four stars only bc it sold out and I had to go back multiple times until I finally got one.
Pork shank!!! It was so good! Tender, fall off the bone, finger licking deliciousness!

Why have I not discovered the pork shank sooner?
For years I have been ordering turkey legs as a ritual to my theme park snackathon. Boy, have I been doing it wrong all this time! Not are they only the same price (about $ 10 + tax) but the pork shank is so much easier to eat, and a lot tastier in my opinion. The meat is so moist, it practically falls off the bone.
Aside from the pork shank, Edelweiss pretty much has everything you need. Turkey legs, corn on the cob, chimichanga, drinks, etc., which is perfect while waiting in the lines for Matterhorn or Small World!

PORK SHANK is so much better than a Turkey leg. Seriously. Same price and so moist and tender. I’m personally not a fan of the turkey leg, so I’m glad I found out about the pork! It’s like a giant baby back rib. NOMZZ (Just ask for EXTRA sauce on the side, or it gets a little tiring to eat)
And it’s under $ 10.
(Find this across from the matterhorn entrance, not yet to small world, where the old motor boats used to be.)

Right before you get to Small World is Edelweiss Snacks. I don’t know if get less business than Main St or the rhyme or reason to why they seem to have the best churros in the Park. $ 3.50; no discount for anyone.
Turkey leg, corn, churro, get it all. Get. It. All. Anything east of this cart is going to be a relaxing ride or something you can sit through and digest anyway. :) Small World, Mickey’s Magical Map, Toon Town, etc.

I came to Disneyland this morning with the sole purpose of trying this Pork Shank…
I should start with the actual pork shank, which I ate with the flimsy fork and knife that comes with the meal. Using the knife and fork was supposed to keep me clean and for the most part that was the case. The pork shank had a ton of cartilage and other ligaments, which did not make for easy eating. It tastes as though they boiled this meat, because it was super boring. This will probably be only visit to Edelweiss…
The real bummer about this visit was the jerks using the whole eating area for their pin trading event… seriously, this is the eating area for this restaurant! Each of the back four tables were covered with folders of pins… one of which was not being viewed and I stood there waiting for the owner to return and I asked if I could sit there and eat my food. He looked at me like I was crazy, «uh I’m trading pins at that table»… That was a serious head shake at that guy, «thanks».
These aren’t the shanks you get at the Octoberfest, that’s my only comparison and maybe that’s not fair, but they didn’t compare at all.

Without a doubt my favorite place in all of Disneyland. When I think about Disneyland, the first thing that comes to mind are the turkey legs that are sold here. I brought my mom and dad here because they thought that food at Disneyland was terrible. This changed their mind!
The turkey leg is thick, big, and juicy. It is a bit on the saltier side, but you’ll hardly notice as you stuff your face with it. Usually a drumstick is easier to eat because there’s a natural handle. But these turkey legs are so big that you pretty much need to use both hands to properly eat it.
Others have talked about the pork shank here. I think it really depends on your personal preferences. My dad really liked the pork shank better than the turkey leg while my mom and I really liked the turkey leg more. You can’t go wrong with either one though!

You could go with a turkey leg, chimichanga, or corn on the cob, but you’ll be making a poor choice. Don’t get me wrong. This cart has great options, but the one item that should always be that damn good pork shank.
Grab some forks and napkins folks. Slather that delicious BBQ SAUCE all over that shank and get it on. The meat is so fall off the bone you could just shake that beautiful protein right off. Happy eating my Disney friends.

Bomb dot com.
3 simple words to describe this hidden gem in Disneyland. While everybody and their moms are filling their faces with gross, dry turkey legs in the rest of the Disneyland resort, you should do yourself a favor and venture here to get the infamous pork shank. Still currently a test item, it is only available here. And yes, it does run out!
Have you been to Phil’s BBQ in San Diego? This pork shank from heaven basically tastes like that. Tender, juicy, and delicious it will make your tummy happy and full. And all for just $ 10. It’s definitely a sit down meal though since it involves BBQ sauce.
Some insider tips:
— Get hot sauce from that restaurant near the Jedi academy to eat with your bomb ass pork shank.
— There’s a sitting area right nearby. If you sit and eat around 830 – 9, you can also sit and enjoy the fireworks. See my photo? Yeah that’s right.
Anyways hopefully they bring this test item pork shank to other stands throughout the park because it beats the crap out of standard old turkey legs. Pork 1. Turkey 0.

This is by far my favorite food/​snack stand at Disneyland/​CA Adventure. (Fave churro cart is in front of Haunted Mansion).
This cart is located near the exit of Matterhorn.
It’s my fave because they have corn (yum!), turkey legs (can definitely share), chimichangas (can share + tastes better with salsa), and the new pork shanks!!! (yum!).
This stand has the most food and is the only one with the pork shank!
