Disneyland Park · New Orleans Square
A walk-up window by the railroad station selling Mickey-shaped beignets that come out of the fryer to order.
Last verified July 2026
The Mint Julep Bar is a small window tucked beside the New Orleans Square railroad station, easy to miss and impossible to miss the smell of. It sells Mickey-shaped beignets, dusted heavily with powdered sugar, and a non-alcoholic mint julep that is sweeter and more floral than the cocktail it borrows its name from.
The beignets are the reason to stand here. They are fried to order, arrive genuinely hot, and are among the best things you can eat at Disneyland for under ten dollars. Three to an order, shareable, and they do not travel — eat them within about five minutes or you have wasted the money.
The mint julep itself is a divisive product. It is non-alcoholic, extremely sweet, and tastes strongly of mint syrup, and people either order it every visit or try it once and never again.
The beignets are one of the three best things to eat at Disneyland and worth going out of your way for. The mint julep is sugar water with mint in it — order one for the group to taste, not one each.
The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

Three square-ish fried dough pillows cut into a Mickey silhouette, fried to order and buried in powdered sugar. They arrive genuinely hot and slightly hollow inside.
Our take: One of the three best things to eat at Disneyland, provided you eat them within five minutes. Cold beignets are a waste of money and there is no way around that, so do not buy them to carry across the park.
A non-alcoholic mint and lemon drink served over crushed ice with a garnish, sharing its name with the bourbon cocktail and nothing else about it.
Our take: Overrated. It is mint syrup and sugar, and most first-timers get halfway down and stop. Buy one for the table to try rather than one each, and put the money toward a second order of beignets.
No. Disneyland's mint julep is a non-alcoholic mint-and-lemon drink that shares only the name with the bourbon cocktail. It is very sweet, and a lot of first-timers find it far sweeter than they expected.
Yes, if you eat them straight away. They are fried to order and arrive hot, which is the entire difference between excellent and forgettable. Mobile ordering through the app removes most of the wait, so use that.
There are tables along the waterfront by the New Orleans Square railroad station, shaded for most of the day and rarely full. That is the right spot — the window itself has no seating and the walkway there is a bottleneck.
