Disney Quick Service Meals Details

If you’re looking for some of Disney World’s best quick-service restaurants, then we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites here. From the best Disney World Quick Service restaurants in the parks and resorts to two of the best places to eat at Disney Springs, these are our tried and true favorites.

How Much Does Disney Quick Service Dining Cost?

On average you can get a meal that includes an entree, side, and drink for $20 or less per meal, depending on what you order. For instance, a meal at EPCOT’s Regal Eagle BBQ and Smokehouse restaurant offers entrees ( with sides) between $10-$17 dollars. Adding a dessert would be an extra $5-$6 dollars. And drinks are between $3.50-$5 each. 

Mobile Order and Lines

These restaurants allow you to walk in, without a reservation, get in line, order your food, and find a place to sit down. All restaurants offer seating, and some offer both indoor and outdoor seating options. We always recommend using Mobile Order at Disney World if you’re looking for added convenience. This allows you to choose foods from your chosen restaurant, in the My Disney Experience App, pay for it, and schedule a time to pick it up at the Mobile Order Pick-Up window. 

Disney Quick Service Dining Plan

While a Disney Quick Service Meal is easy to just walk up and order. If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, then you’ll get a quick service meal credit as part of your prepaid plan. The Disney Quick Service Dining plan includes the following per person.

• 2 Quick-Service Meals (per night of stay)*
• 1 Snack/Nonalcoholic Drink (per night of stay)
• 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug

No matter if you’re choosing to pay at the counter, in your app, or ahead of time with the Dining Plan, the best Disney Quick Service Restaurants remain the same. Here’s our list.

Ronto Roasters | Hollywood Studios

Favorite Foods: Ronto Wraps, Any of them!  Ronto Roasters is located in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios. Why do we love it? As one of the better Quick Service Restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Ronto Roasters offers soft pita wraps stuffed with fillings perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At breakfast, you can grab wraps filled with eggs and sausage, and for lunch and dinner, wraps transform with sausage, coleslaw, and more. They even offer a variety of plant-based options and mobile orders! Ronto Roasters Menu

What we like most about Ronto Roasters, is that while this food is delicious, it’s also unique! You won’t find these anywhere else, and the soft pita really adds a bit of depth to this meal. Plus, you can mobile order to really streamline your day. You can find seating under the rotunda where the restaurant is located or nearby at benches and other outdoor tables. 

Woody’s Lunch Box | Toy Story Land- Hollywood Studios

Favorite Foods: Breakfast Bowl, Tomato Basil Soup. Woody’s Lunch Box is located in Toy Story Land, Hollywood Studios. Why do we love it? Well, a few items on the menu completely blew us away. The breakfast bowl combined some spicy flavors with eggs and tater tots and hands down became “the breakfast” food we’d most likely grab at Hollywood Studios. The sandwiches are pretty flavorful, and the consistency in quality is good. Another restaurant completely outside, this cute dining area in Toy Story Land is sort of small, but super convenient if you’re just grabbing a quick meal. Tip: Eat outside regular mealtime hours, and mobile order. Woody’s Lunch Box Menu.

Another bonus of Woody’s Lunch Box is that it’s nearby Slinky Dog Dash and Midway Mania so if you’re holding out for lower wait times in line, then eating here, gets you close to the action when those wait times drop. And if you time it right, you can see the Green Army Men Drum Corps performance, which usually takes place just outside this restaurant. Check the My Disney Experience App for performance times.

Les Halles Boulangerie-Pattisserie | Epcot France

Favorite Foods: The Croissant Sale’ Breakfast Sandwich, any of the pastries. Les Halles Boulangerie Pattisserie is located in Epcot, France. Why do we love it? Oh my gosh, because it’s amazing! The breakfast foods here are so authentic. The croissants were flaky, the egg and cheese toasted to perfection, and the cappuccino unsweetened. Truly French. You won’t find this anywhere else on the property. The desserts are delicate and exquisitely made. Lots of care is evident with this food preparation, which helps it taste pretty darn good too. We visit this place every trip to get our favorite breakfast sandwiches and can always count on everything to taste amazing. Tip: Grabbing breakfast at this French quick-serve restaurant allows us to be ahead of the game when Epcot opens, with easy access to rides and shops. Les Halles Boulangerie-Pattisserie Menu

Our best tips when eating at this French bakery at Epcot is to have one of your party grab a table, while you wait in line to get the food. Since this restaurant doesn’t have mobile order, you will have to wait. And while the lines are sometimes long, the seating is almost non existent with only about 20 tables indoors. There are small tables, seating 4, and standing tables, as well as bar ledge you can lean against. However, this restaurant really lends to leisurely dining with amazing French food, so why not just relax and find a table with chairs so you can enjoy it. 

La Cantina de San Angel | Epcot Mexico

Favorite Foods: Empanadas Con Queso. La Cantina de San Angel is located in Epcot, Mexico. Why do we love it? So, let us just say that we love Mexican food. Love. It. That said if you’re not a fan, no pressure to add this to your lineup. However, if you too love Mexican, both La Cantina de San Angel and the Choza de Margarita stand across the midway are awesome for a quick Mexican fix. This place offers tacos, nachos, empanadas… your basic Mexican fare. All surprisingly good and spiced well. We love the outside dining overseeing the water ( preferably in the breezier months when it’s not sweltering). Know that this is outside dining only… so if you’re looking for a cool respite from the Florida heat, eat somewhere else. Tip: Send someone in your travel group to go snatch a table while you stand in line. La Cantina de San Angel Menu.

Almost always busy, because the food is really good, this Mexican restaurant at EPCOT is busy most of the day, even late at night. As such, we always recommend you plan a head to wait in line for your food, as well as have a backup table, in case the outdoor tables are full. There is additional standing tables near the Mariachi Cobre band location, across the Donald Duck meet and greet, you can snag if needed. 

Satu’li Canteen | Pandora- Animal Kingdom

Favorite Foods: The Create-Your-Own-Satu’li Bowl. Satu’li Canteen is located in Pandora in Animal Kingdom. Why do we love it? Satu’li Canteen is seriously one of the most authentic quick service meals you will find on Walt Disney World property. The decor and attention to detail is amazing, the food offerings are unique to Pandora, and the quality of the food top notch. We love the build-your-own bowls options which allow everyone in your group to get exactly what they like. And the little additions like the bao buns, boba balls, and fancy desserts make this a must-try restaurant. This is the place we choose for lunch almost every time we visit Animal Kingdom. Tip: Mobile Order your meal as you exit Flight of Passage or Na’vi River Journey. It will be waiting for you when you get there. Satu’li Canteen Menu

Pinocchio’s Village Haus | Magic Kingdom

It pains us to say that Magic Kingdom has so few quick service restaurants that somehow Pinocchio’s has risen to the top. Primarily because they have flatbreads, which everyone likes. And frankly, which you can’t really mess up! They typically have cheese pizza, and pepperoni options. And throughout the season, you can sometimes find additional toppings too. 

Another thing of note about Pinocchio’s, is it does have a few surprises too! You can grab little garlic basil knots and tomato soup for cold days. And thee Key Lime Pie here, is actually quite good!

Captain Cooks | The Polynesian Resort and Villas

Favorite Foods: Pan Asian Noodles and Vegetables, Thai Coconut Meatballs. Captain Cooks is located in The Polynesian Resort. Why we love it. Okay, everyone knows we love The Polynesian, but Captain Cooks took a little longer for us to love because it’s really about what you order! And we didn’t get it right the first time. What we like most is that the foods are unique to the Polynesian vibes.

There’s pineapple and spices and all things South Pacific that you won’t find anywhere else. The dining area is decorated with vintage travel posters ( always an obsession) and has outdoor seating by the pool. The drinks are refillable and they usually have some amazing dessert at the ready. Tip: Check out Captain Cook’s for lunch on a day you don’t visit the parks or do your Monorail Resort Crawl. You’ll want to take some time to peruse the Polynesian while you’re there, so make the time! Captain Cooks Menu

Contempo Cafe | The Contemporary Resort

Favorite Foods: the Flatbreads! Contempo Cafe is located in The Contemporary Resort. Why do we love it? Contempo Café was one of those restaurants we really knew nothing about until one hot sweltering day when we just needed to eat inside. Located near Chef Mickey’s in the Contemporary Resort, we actually never knew it existed!

They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  While we have seen several menu changes here, we can usually count on Contempo Café for delicious pasta, salads, and flatbreads. We’ve tried many items on this menu and have never been disappointed. They usually have fun dessert options too! With large portion sizes, we can always count on this quick-serve to be great food at a great value. We love watching the monorail go by on the upper level and again, the fact that it’s inside.  Tip: You can refill your resort mug here, so if you happen to be staying on property, you can save a few dollars on drinks. Contempo Cafe Menu

Earl of Sandwich | Disney Springs

Favorite Foods: The Holiday Turkey Sandwich. Earl of Sandwich is located in Disney Springs. Why do we love it? The lines here can sometimes get pretty long, which is usually a good sign of a great restaurant. For us, Earl of Sandwich wins out as a great go-to place to eat for the big reason that the food is always good. It’s made at the moment, and not sitting under a warmer. The sandwich options here are unique and offer some amazing tastes no matter your food mood. Tip: Avoid weekend evenings, this place gets crowded! Earl of Sandwich Menu

Chicken Guy! | Disney Springs

Favorite Foods: All the Sauces. Chicken Guy! The restaurant is located at Disney Springs. Why do we love it? Guy Fieri’s new restaurant at Disney Springs is tucked back behind Planet Hollywood so it’s a little hard to find if you’re not a regular. Chicken Guy! is just a lot of variations on the classic chicken sandwich- grilled, or fried. What we love about this place is that there are so so many variations.

With like 20 sauces you can really mix and match and make these amazing sandwiches on your own. Add in waaaay too many fries and this is by far one of the best meals on a budget. You just get a ton of food! Tip: This place has indoor seating, but not a lot of it, so send someone to grab a table while you wait in line, oh and ask for the sauces you’d like when you order. Chicken Guy! Menu

The Best Quick Service Restaurants at Walt Disney World

As you can see from this list, we didn’t go with your basic Disney Quick Service choices that are usually seen all over the place.  We don’t love Flame Tree Barbecue, or Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe. We don’t need a hot dog from Caseys, or a pizza from Pizzafari. While the budget is happy when visiting these places, the foods tend to be a bit heavy for us on active theme park days, and they’re “basic” foods we can get anywhere. We definitely eat at ABC Commissary but there isn’t anything that draws us there with excitement. While all these restaurants are good, they haven’t made enough of a magical impression on us to actually be able to recommend them to other people!
