What to Order First at Amorette's in Disney Springs

Published July 29, 2026 · Updated September 9, 2026

Amorette’s Patisserie is the Disney Springs dessert stop that actually earns a spot in your plan. The move is not to wander in, stare at the case, and panic-order whatever looks cutest. Go in with a short list: share a Mickey dome cake, grab the pistachio eclair if you like a less sugary pastry, and do not sleep on the chocolate-covered strawberries if they are available.

The bigger planning angle: Amorette’s is best used as an arrival-day or non-park-day treat, not something you try to wedge into a packed Magic Kingdom morning. Disney Springs does not require a park ticket, so this is where you get a high-end Disney dessert fix without burning park time, fighting parade crowds, or turning snack time into a 45-minute detour.

The Smart First Order

If this is your first visit, start with one of the Mickey dome-style cakes. They are the cleanest “this feels like Disney” order without being a giant novelty dessert you regret halfway through. The little red Mickey dome cake is especially shareable, which matters because Amorette’s is more patisserie than snack cart. You are here for polished, rich desserts, not something you casually inhale while speed-walking to a ride.

That shareability is the point. If your group is doing Disney Springs after travel day, after a resort pool break, or after dinner, one dome cake can satisfy the table without turning into a full second meal. It is also a strong pick when you want a photo-worthy dessert that still tastes like a real bakery item.

The catch: the case can change, and popular items can disappear. If you see the cake you came for, buy it then. Do not assume it will still be there after you browse World of Disney, especially on busy evenings.

The Underrated Pick Is the Pistachio Eclair

The pistachio eclair is the order for the person who does not want the sweetest-looking thing in the case. It is still dessert, obviously, but it gives you a more pastry-forward option than the character cakes.

That makes it a smart split order: get one Mickey-style cake for the group and one eclair for the adults or anyone who likes a nuttier, more refined flavor. This is also the better choice if you have already been hitting Disney’s heavier snacks all day and want something that feels less like a sugar stunt.

Here is the veteran move: do Amorette’s before you decide you are “too full for dessert.” The pastries are the reason to go, not an afterthought. If you are planning a Disney Springs dinner, stop by earlier, see what is in the case, and decide whether dessert should happen before dinner or be boxed for later.

The Chocolate-Covered Strawberries Are Not Just Filler

Chocolate-covered strawberries sound basic until you see how often they win over kids who would normally ignore fruit at home. They are also a smart compromise dessert: lighter than a cake, easier to share, and less messy than many Disney Springs treats.

If they are available, they are a great add-on for families. One parent can get the pastry they actually want, kids can split strawberries, and nobody is stuck buying three separate oversized desserts just to keep peace at the table.

The risk is availability. These can sell quickly, and if someone ahead of you buys a bunch, that may be it for the moment. Treat them like a “grab when you see them” item, not a guaranteed backup plan.

Why Amorette’s Works Better Than a Park Dessert Detour

A lot of Disney World snack planning fails because people chase desserts at the wrong time. If you are in EPCOT, your snack calculus is different: you may be balancing World Showcase, festival booths when they are running, and rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind if you bought Lightning Lane Single Pass. If you are in Magic Kingdom, a dessert stop can collide with parade movement, fireworks positioning, or your next Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection.

Amorette’s avoids that problem because it lives in Disney Springs. Use it when you are not paying with ride time.

Best times to build it into a trip:

Arrival day, after hotel check-in or before dinner
A rest day when you want something Disney without entering a park
Departure day if your flight time allows a Disney Springs stop
After a resort day when the group wants an easy win without another attraction queue

Worst times:

Before a tight dining reservation across property
In the middle of a park day unless Disney Springs is already your evening plan
When your kids are past the point of making decisions and everyone just needs food now

That last one matters. Amorette’s is a treat stop, not the place to solve a hungry-family emergency.

What to Skip If You Are Trying to Be Strategic

Skip the “one of everything” approach. The case is tempting, but Amorette’s desserts are rich enough that over-ordering can turn a good stop into an expensive pile of half-finished boxes.

The smarter order is narrow:

One Mickey dome-style cake to share
One pistachio eclair if your group likes pastries
Chocolate-covered strawberries if they are available
Macarons only if you specifically want something smaller or easier to carry

That gives you variety without losing the plot. You are not trying to review the whole case. You are trying to make one Disney Springs stop feel worth the time.

The Best Way to Fit It Into a Disney Springs Night

If you are pairing Amorette’s with dinner, do not wait until the very end of the night to check the case. Go before dinner, especially if you care about a specific item. You can decide whether to eat dessert first, save it for later, or come back if the case still looks strong.

For families, the cleanest plan is Disney Springs early evening, dessert scouting first, dinner second, and shopping last. Shopping after dessert is risky with delicate pastries unless you are heading straight back to your resort.

If your Disney Springs dinner is hard to get, SupaPark’s dining Drop Watch at supapark.com can help you catch cancellation openings, then you book directly in My Disney Experience. Pair that with Amorette’s as the low-stress dessert stop, and your Disney Springs night gets much easier to manage.

The Takeaway

Amorette’s is worth prioritizing, but only if you treat it like a planned Disney Springs stop instead of a random sugar detour. First-timers should share a Mickey dome cake, pastry people should add the pistachio eclair, and families should grab chocolate-covered strawberries when they see them. Go early enough that the case still has options, and save your park hours for rides, not dessert logistics.
