Step into the world of “Tangled” with The Snuggly Duckling restaurant, part of the new Rapunzel’s Forest area in Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea.
The Snuggly Duckling
The quick-service location is decorated with tons of details and Easter eggs. Hook Hand’s piano is on a stage overlooking one of three dining rooms. You won’t have trouble finding a place to sit.
The adorable Snuggly Duckling logo is on props and furniture throughout the restaurant, including these highchairs.
It’s also on the fireplace grate.
Look up and you may spot Pinocchio.
He’s joined by puppet versions of Pascal and Maximus. Check out more photos of The Snuggly Duckling.
The Snuggly Duckling is sponsored by Calbee, Inc. The snack company also sponsors the Royal Banquet of Arendelle and Camp Woodchuck Kitchen at Tokyo Disneyland. Their logo is below The Snuggly Duckling logo on the restaurant’s themed trays.
The Snuggly Duckling mostly offers burgers. You can buy them individually or as a meal set with a salad or French Fries and a soft drink.
For an additional ¥440, you can change the soft drink to Rapunzel’s Magical Milk Tea, which is what we did. For an additional ¥390, you can swap the soft drink for draft beer. The venue also has two desserts: the Caramel Duckling Muffin and Lemon & Strawberry Sweets Ever After in a frying pan.
Duckling Dream Burger Set – ¥1,440
Duckling Dream Burger Single Item – ¥900
These burgers are topped with tomato, a giant slice of ham, and slaw. They don’t look appetizing and they don’t taste great either. We never like Tokyo Disney Resort’s burgers. They aren’t inedible. The bun is mushy. The surprising slice of ham actually helps but barely. The burger is the most okay a burger can be. It’s below the quality of most American fast food restaurants.

Duckling Dream Cheeseburger Set – ¥1,490
Duckling Dream Cheeseburger Single Item – ¥950
The single slice of barely melted American cheese didn’t save it.

Fried Shrimp Burger Set – ¥1,490
Fried Shrimp Burger Single Item – ¥950
This is the most okay of the bunch. It has a nice sauce, which we think is tartar. The fried shrimp patty isn’t bad. It’s not too fishy and it’s a good size.

Plant-Based Burger Set – ¥1,490
Plant-Based Burger Single Item – ¥950
There’s a potent sauce on this that tastes like a bad Thousand Island. The plant-based patty is fine. It’s better than the hamburger patty. Still, if you need something plant-based, go elsewhere in the park.

Rapunzel’s Magical Milk Tea – ¥800
This drink has no description, which is frustrating because there’s a fruity taste that we can’t identify. A classic milk tea is sweetened black tea, milk, and tapioca balls. We think the yellow balls on top of this drink are standard tapioca.
It’s sweet and milky. We like it.

Caramel Duckling Muffin – ¥600
This muffin is topped with a Snuggly Duckling cookie and comes in a Snuggly Duckling wrapper, for a cute presentation. The cookie is a good shortbread.
This is phenomenal. It’s the right amount of sweet. The caramel filling is rich and light so it doesn’t weigh down the muffin. The cake is soft and moist. It tastes like a spiced cake.

Lemon & Strawberry Sweets Ever After – ¥700
This is also lacking a helpful description. It has a cute presentation with the frying pan. There’s a fresh strawberry and blueberry on top. There’s a lemon cream with an artificial tartness but it works. The strawberry chunks on top and inside taste real. The pastry isn’t hot but it’s soft, light, and airy. It’s not as good as the muffin but it’s good.

Overall
Only the desserts and milk tea are worth getting at The Snuggly Duckling. Everything else is bad.
We also reviewed everything at Lookout Cookout, Oaken’s OK Foods, the Royal Banquet of Arendelle, and the Roast Beef Popcorn.
