Eat Snacks  The Magic Kingdom is home to many favorite snacks that are must eats.  You can find the Dole Whip in Adventureland, Funnel Cakes at Sleepy Hollow in Liberty Square, grab a hot dog from Casey's Corner, and get all sorts of tasty treats from the Main Street Confectionery.  There are so many wonderful snacks to choose from!  Take a moment on your next visit to enjoy the atmosphere of the Magic Kingdom with your favorite snack. 9.   Dumbo the Flying Elephant Take flight aboard a flying elephant for a magical flight above Storybook Circus.
