Everyone who’s been to Walt Disney World has probably seen them. Giant, meat-on-a-stick, Jumbo Disney Turkey Legs. And while Turkey Legs aren’t our favorite Disney snack (far from it), we know that there are plenty of fans out there! It’s a true park icon that’s been immortalized on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. That’s right! In the Galaxarium portion of the Guardians of the Galaxy queue, you might catch a glimpse of this iconic Disney snack.
In fact, we’ve even seen other SNACKS in the shape of turkey legs! We’re looking at you, Rice Krispie Treats. Turkey legs might just be the most controversial Disney snack out there, and we’ve put together a full guide on all the spots you can find them!
Yes, the Jumbo Turkey Legs are ICONIC. This is the snack that makes you feel like a prehistoric caveman who somehow ended up in a theme park. If you enjoy feeling like you’re from the Mesozoic Era, grab one next time you smell that familiar smoky smell. This is THE snack that can easily feed two people!
Smokey, salty, juicy, and meaty, this snack isn’t just a snack — it’s a meal. You’ll definitely need to do some laps of the park to walk off the 1,000 calories you’ll take in with a turkey leg!
In fact, these are so big that many folks refuse to believe they’re actually from turkeys. Rumors have floated around that these are emu legs! But we’ve been assured that they are, truly, from your favorite Thanksgiving-time gobbler.
You can snag jumbo Turkey Legs at some spots around Disney World. So, if your Disney World trip isn’t complete without a handheld chunk of meat, here’s where you can find them:
Liberty Square Market is one of the best places in Magic Kingdom to get a healthy snack. Be on the lookout, too, for a few theme park staples such as Turkey Legs, Mickey Pretzels, hot dogs, and Frozen Slush drinks!
The infamous Disney World turkey legs have a bit of a cult following, with guests either loving or completely despising this larger-than-life serving of protein.
Prince Eric’s Village Market is located at the base of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Fantasyland, and it’s a great spot to grab a quick snack at any of time of the day… when it’s open, that is. Prince Eric’s Village Market is sometimes closed during slower seasons, and when it is open, it tends to have more limited operating hours.
That said, when it is open, you can get your big ol’ Turkey Leg right here! At the Village Market, it’s $15.49 and served with chips.
As you can see, Turkey Legs are HUGE. These snacks are easily shareable and could even serve as a meal for someone who’s looking for a salty, meaty, filling eat.
Flavor-wise, our leg was very, VERY smoky and meaty in the same way a fatty piece of bacon is. If you like super salty, meaty flavors, we could see how a Turkey Leg could be a go-to!
Sleepy Hollow in Liberty Square offers a variety of sweet treats and savory snacks served throughout the day. We’re talking about true gems like the Fresh Fruit Waffle (with Nutella!), the Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich, Hand-dipped Corn Dogs, and MORE… all right within view of Cinderella Castle.
In 2021, this spot began offering turkey legs after 9PM. However, Turkey Legs don’t always pop up at Sleepy Hollow on Mobile Order, so check to see if it’s there during your trip. Since they still appear on Disney’s online menu, we think this is just a reserve location that might offer them on occasion.
The Fife and Drum is basically a permanent kiosk at the “outskirts” of the American Adventure pavilion.
This spot seems is a magnet for Disney food cult favorites as well as select specialty items like the American Dream Slush layered with vanilla soft-serve.
And here, it’s worth noting that you can even use the Disney Dining Plan to acquire your Turkey Leg! That said, even though we refer to Turkey Legs as an iconic SNACK (because they are), Turkey Legs are not Snack Credit eligible on the Disney Dining Plan. However, at Fife & Drum Tavern you can use a Quick Service meal credit to order a Turkey Leg, which you’ll receive with chips! (Out of pocket, a Turkey Leg here is $14.25.)
One final EPCOT note — on occasion, you maaaay find one of the snack carts in World Discovery serving up Turkey Legs.
However, your best bet in EPCOT remains the Fife & Drum Tavern. Yes, Disney’s famous giant turkey legs can also be found here. Take your leg to a nearby bench overlooking the World Showcase Lagoon. If you’re lucky, it’ll be a nice day with a refreshing breeze.
You’ll find The Smokehouse over on the West Side of Disney Springs. It’s the counter-service sister to the table-service House of Blues Restaurant.
Although the seating is outside, you’ll be surrounded by trees and tunes that’ll make up for it.
A slow smoked turkey leg seasoned with House of Blues special spices is on the menu for $14.00.
If you’re a hungry carnivore, you’ll find a ton of meat on this MASSIVE leg. We think this is big enough to share, but if you like the salty flavor that is common with turkey legs, we won’t judge if you keep this all to yourself. Despite the saltiness, it does have a great smoky flavor!
