Disney4me Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 There are literally hundreds of restaurants inside Disney World, ranging from snack stands to luxurious, Michelin-starred restaurants. How do you know where you can go to avoid breaking the bank on your next trip? New items at Backlot Express We’ve analyzed the menu of EVERY quick service restaurant in the Disney World theme parks to figure out which ones are the CHEAPEST in each park. If you’re planning a budget-friendly vacation, this is the guide for you! A couple of quick caveats before we begin… First, we only looked at quick service restaurants. We left out the table service restaurants (which will almost always be more expensive than the cheap service options) and snack stands. Menu We defined a snack stand as anywhere where you CAN’T get a full meal. If the stand or kiosk didn’t sell full entrées, it didn’t make the list. Note that we do sometimes love snacking around the parks instead of eating full meals, so it’s always an option to just grab a few different snacks and make those into your lunch! Nigiri Combo We also only looked at quick service restaurants inside the theme parks. There are lots more options at the Disney World hotels and in Disney Springs! If y’all like this post and want us to do the same thing for the hotels and Springs, let us know in the comments. Now that you know the rules, let’s get into the cheapest quick service restaurants in every single Disney World park. Magic Kingdom Pinocchio Village Haus Pinocchio Village Haus is our winner for the cheapest quick service in Magic Kingdom! Entrées at this spot range from $9.79 to $12.79. Pinocchio Village Haus Most of the entrées are $12.79, including all the flatbreads. There are a few different flatbread flavors here, like the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread and the Pepperoni Flatbread. Buffalo Chicken Flatbread The cheapest entrée is the Caesar Salad. You can add chicken to it, which brings the price up to $11.79, and you can also grab Chicken Strips for $10.99. Runner-Up: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café The next cheapest option at Magic Kingdom is Cosmic Ray’s! Entrées range from $9.99 to $13.49. One of the ordering Bays This Tomorrowland quick service spot has burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, and a couple of salads on the menu.

Plus, it’s the cheapest quick service option in Hollywood Studios. Dockside Diner restaurant At Dockside Diner, the menu has a few different kinds of hot dogs and Bacon Macaroni and Cheese. If you just can’t decide between those two options, grab the Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Hot Dog! Bacon Mac & Cheese Hot Dog A plain hot dog and the mac ‘n’ cheese each cost a little over $10, and the two specialty hot dogs each cost $12.79. Runner-Up: Woody’s Lunch Box If you’re not in the mood for hot dogs, head over to Woody’s Lunch Box, which also has plenty of cheap meal options. Woody’s Lunch Box The Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich is just $10.29 (pro-tip: get it with a side of Tomato-Basil Soup for an extra $3.99), and one of our FAVORITE lunches in all of the park — the Totchos — is $10.49.

GOOD. Les Halles However, if you go in with a budget, you can get some really tasty options that definitely won’t break the bank. We love the Bisque de Homard, which is just $6.95, for lunch! Bisque de Homard Other great lunch options include the Croissant Jambon Fromage for $8.95 and the Quiche Lorraine for $7.95. Quiche Lorraine Don’t forget to grab dessert!

In the end, we decided to include it but give you TWO runner-up options. Smiling Crocodile Smiling Crocodile has a few different kinds of tacos! Grab the Pulled Pork Street Tacos, Chicken Street Tacos, or the Street Corn Tacos. TACOS! All come with a side of chips and salsa, which kicks these up from a snack to more of a meal. TACOS for days!

Pizzafari There’s a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich for $11.99, a Cheese Pizza for $11.29, or a Caesar Salad with Chicken for $11.99. Chicken Parmesan Sandwich The pizza here isn’t our favorite (there are more interesting, unique eats in Animal Kingdom), but it’s a cute restaurant with very familiar, approachable menu items. The whole spread! The next runner-up is Restaurantosaurus in DinoLand U.S.A. Restaurantosaurus in Animal Kingdom Restaurantosaurus has pretty classic theme park food — think hot dogs, burgers, chicken nuggets, etc. There’s a Cobb Salad on the menu, too, if you want a healthier option!
