Traveling when you’re on a special diet can be nerve-wracking — will you find anything that you can actually eat?! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Thankfully, Disney World is more than accommodating for special diets, with a wide variety of food options for vegans, vegetarians, dairy-free, gluten-free, and MORE. And if you’re planning a trip to the parks as a gluten-free eater, we’re about to make your life even easier! First of all, you’ll want to check out our page with all the details on gluten-free dining in Disney World. We’ve also written guides to gluten-free dining in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, so make sure to read those before your visit. Now, let’s dive into the specifics of how you can eat gluten-free in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park! Quick Service Dining For starters, we need to talk about quick service dining. These are the restaurants in the park where you order at a register, then move to the counter to pick up your food. When dining here, the gluten-free options might not be obvious on the menu board, but you can ask a Cast Member at the restaurant to see the allergy menus or you can check the My Disney Experience app beforehand. Restaurantosaurus To find the allergy options at each restaurant in the app, you’ll want to go to the map section (it’s the second icon from the left at the bottom of the screen), then click on the arrow next to “Wait Times” at the top of the screen. From there, you can select “Dining” to see all the dining options on the map. At the top left of the screen, you can filter by location, and at the top right, you can switch between a list view and a map view. ©Disney Once you’ve got your list of nearby restaurants up, simply click on one to see the page for that restaurant. From there, you can view the menu. In this example, we took a look at Flame Tree Barbecue. The restaurant’s allergy-friendly menu was listed at the bottom of the screen when we scrolled down. ©Disney If you’re placing a Mobile Order, you’ll need to scroll down to the bottom and select the category for “Gluten/Wheat Allergy-Friendly.” ©Disney Now that you know how to view the menus ahead of time, let’s talk about the restaurants with the best options! Flame Tree Barbecue has a St. Louis Rib Dinner, a Ribs and Chicken Combo, a 1/2 Chicken, and a Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich that are all gluten-free if you’ve got a hankering for barbecue. Ribs & Chicken Combo Satu’li Canteen is perhaps the option with the most variety, serving multiple different bowls that accommodate gluten allergies. You can get a combination bowl (beef and chicken), a Chili-Garlic Shrimp Bowl, a Slow-Roasted Sliced Grilled Beef Bowl, a Chili-Spiced Crispy Fried Tofu Bowl, or a Chopped Wood-Grilled Chicken Bowl. With each, you can pick your base and sauce. Grilled Beef & Chicken Bowl at Satu’li Canteen in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Harambe Market in Africa also has a number of rice-based bowl options for those eating gluten-free. However, we wouldn’t typically recommend that restaurant over the other options above. Table Service Dining Moving on to table service dining, things get a bit more personal. First of all, you’ll want to note that someone in your group has a gluten allergy when making your reservation ahead of your visit. It’s also good practice to mention it when checking in at the restaurant podium. If you’re checking in for your reservation in the My Disney Experience app, there will be a section to note any allergies. Check-in at Tusker House Once you’re seated, your waiter will either bring you an allergy-friendly menu or a chef will come to the table to discuss your dining options. (If neither of those things happen, make sure to notify your server of the allergy.) Disney is usually quite accommodating about modifying items on the menu for those with allergies or food preferences. If you’re dining at a buffet, you should also be able to speak with a chef about which items are safe for you to eat. And family-style restaurants typically have alternate platters available for those with dietary restrictions. Tusker House So which table service spots are best for those avoiding gluten? If you have a slightly higher meal budget, you could try Tiffins for lunch or dinner. There, you can order gluten-free dishes from the allergy menu like the Surf & Turf, North African-spiced Tofu, Shrimp and Grits, Tamarind-braised Short Rib, or Butter Chicken. They also have a number of gluten-free appetizers, enhancements, and desserts. Tiffins For a character meal, you can head to Tusker House in the Africa section of the park. This restaurant serves food buffet-style, but they have quite a few things you can try if you’re eating gluten-free. The African-Inspired Salads are gluten-free, as are multiple entrees — the Berbere Marinated Pork, the Spit-roasted Tandoori Chicken, and the Cape Malay Green Curry Shrimp. They also have rice, potatoes, and vegetables for sides that will work. On top of the food, you’ll also get to see Donald, Goofy, Mickey, and Daisy while you dine — how fun! Veggies and Chicken at Tusker House Finally, we need to mention Yak & Yeti. This restaurant is a fave here at DFB, but since it’s run by a third party, the allergy-friendly dining process is slightly different from that of Disney-owned spots. You can still make your reservations through Disney, but we suggest making your allergy known to your server and when you check in at the restaurant. Yak & Yeti The allergy-friendly menu is not currently available through the My Disney Experience app, but there is a paper version that your server can bring to your table when you dine at the restaurant. Snacks Finally, we have to talk about the SNACKS. There are several great options in the park, starting with the delicious churros at Nomad Lounge! These are some of the BEST churros you can get in Disney World, and it makes us so happy that those on gluten-free diets can enjoy them as well. Churros! A popular gluten-free treat in Disney World is Dole Whip, and you can find it in Animal Kingdom at Tamu Tamu Refreshments. Yep, that’s right — it’s available there all year round! Dole Whip from Tamu Tamu Over at Harambe Fruit Market, there’s a very unique Animal Kingdom exclusive. The Grilled Corn is served on the cob and covered in delicious spices, and it’s definitely underrated. Harambe Fruit Market Corn And finally, we’re heading to Pongu Pongu in Pandora, because they have a popular slush here called the Night Blossom. It’s beautiful, sweet, tangy, and topped with boba balls. A truly fun treat! Night Blossom So there’s your full guide to eating gluten-free in Animal Kingdom. We’ll make sure to update this list if the. menus change or new must-have gluten-free snacks come to the park. With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals. That’s why we wrote the DFB Guide to Dining at Walt Disney World.

Disney World Annual Passholders are getting quite a bit of good news today! 2022 Passholder magnet First, a deal on hotel rooms. And now, it looks like Disney is teasing a new Passholder magnet! But what could it be? Passholders’ My Disney Experience Apps are advertising a new magnet coming soon…with a small hint! Disney’s announcement also includes the phrase “Don’t just fly, soar!

Between delayed attraction and restaurant openings, legal and political controversies, continued 50th anniversary celebrations, and more — chances are there are some things you forgot about. Remember when they announced that Amazon Alexa devices equipped with the “Hey Disney!” feature would be rolled out by the end of last year? Well, we finally started seeing the devices in select resorts in late November — and now we have NEW details about the device! “Hey, Disney!” is currently in the process of rolling out to guests at to the Disney World hotels. The new service will offer “custom voice assistance” to guests staying at Resort hotels in Walt Disney World and Disneyland! Hey, Disney! It works with Alexa on Amazon Echo devices, and can assist guests with room amenities, guest services, planning, and weather info. By responding to vocal prompts, “Hey Disney!” will be able to make your vacation easier by answering your questions and fulfilling certain requests. Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products In late November 2022, Disney started testing the Amazon Alexa “Hey, Disney!” device at the Polynesian Resort. The devices are still in the testing stages, but Disney shared some new details about the feature at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and we’re breaking them down thanks to TechCrunch. Disney Trivia First things first — “Hey, Disney!” will be available to purchase for use in your own house soon! Disney previously announced that it would roll out on certain Amazon Alexa devices, but now it looks like we’ll be able to have a bit of Disney magic in our daily routines just a bit sooner. This will allow “Alexa’s technology to be used for a broader range of experiences while also offering Amazon a potential revenue stream from custom client solutions.” Not only can “Hey, Disney!” make guest service requests, order extra towels or room service, but it’s packed with Disney jokes, trivia, soundscapes, character voices and more. You might even hear Olaf tell you the weather! ©Disney According to TechCrunch, the actual experience is guided by the Disney Magical Companion, but it was built using Amazon’s Alexa Custom Assistant solution. It’ll also work with MagicBand+, enhancing trivia games by making the band a vibrating buzzer that reacts with haptics and lights. It can also buzz if you set an alarm or timer with the “Hey, Disney!” advice. We love learning about new technology! Aaron Rubenson, the vice president of Alexa, shared “Disney is the master storyteller, and its stories are so powerful for so many people.” He continued, “Now people can keep talking to a character, they can continue with the storyline when they go back to their room at the end of the day or when they go home after the vacation is over.” It can even tell jokes! The “Hey, Disney!” Magical Companion will be available for U.S. customers to purchase later this year and we’ll keep you updated with a potential release date, so stay tuned to DFB!

You’ll discover how it only takes one action to make an impact on the people in our lives and the world around us, just as one man – Walt Disney – started the wave that has continued to grow and inspire people around the globe for 100 years. ©Disney The nighttime show will feature songs and stories from some of Disney’s most beloved movies, including The Lion King, Moana, Coco, Mulan, Soul, and more! There are 18 different compositions in all, including a new original song called “Start a Wave,” which was written by the Grammy-nominated Cody Fry and sung by Loren Allred. ©Disney Mist screens and 1,200 dancing fountains will dazzle guests, along with special lighting, projections, laser, fog, and flame effects.

Disney World is bringing us an exciting promo for vacations in 2023! The Disney World Dining Card is essentially a gift card that you can use at most Disney World restaurants. Let’s save on some Disney World FOOD! We’re always looking for ways to save money on Disney World trips, and we know you are, too, so let’s look at some ideas for using these extra dining dollars! First off, if you haven’t booked a trip with this deal yet, you probably should soon. Disney says it has limited availability, so it could sell out for the dates you want. The offer is good for up to a $750 Dining Promo Card. Here are the values based on travel dates and resorts: At value resorts — $35 per night if your arrival date is between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $50 per night if your arrival date is between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th At moderate resorts — $75 per night if your arrival date falls between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $100 per night if your arrival date falls between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th At deluxe resorts — $125 per night if your arrival date falls between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $150 per night if your arrival date falls between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th Will you go to Disney World with this deal? If you book with this deal, you’ll get the dining promo card in your email after you have checked in to your reservation. You will be able to save it to your phone’s wallet and use it at most dining locations around Disney World until you have used up your credit — which could be up to $750 if you take full advantage of this deal. Where can’t you use the dining card? — mainly at the restaurants at hotels on Disney World property not owned by Disney. We’ve got a full list of those locations, and answers to lots of your other questions about this Dining Card offer here. Thigh High Chicken Biscuits at Homecomin’ Now we’re the first to tell you this offer seems complicated, and you might want to use a travel agent that specializes in Disney World trips to book it for you. We recommend contacting Small World Vacations if you don’t have a travel agent you already use. And you can read more about why we recommend using a travel agent here. Now, how are you going to USE this Disney Dining Card? We have IDEAS. We’re all about Disney FOOD here at DFB. We even wrote the book on it! Check out our DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining in an ebook format you can easily download to your tablet or smartphone. We’ll even save you some money on it — use code WDW2023 to save 25% on the cover price! You can take our ebook with you! We’re going to break our Disney Dining Card ideas down into two categories for you — Budget-Stretchers and Splurges. Budget-Stretchers Perhaps you want to try to get the very best bang for your buck out of your Disney Dining Card. After all, it’s not often that Disney World hands us FREE food. (OK, we know you’re paying for the vacation, and nothing’s really free, but still … it is a deal here, so let’s use it to the fullest advantage.) Split Meals We all know of that one place where we should just ask for the to-go box when we order, because the portions are huge and we’re going to have leftovers. Well, we’ve got some recommendations about some meals that are bigger than one person can eat at Disney World. If we’re making the most out of that dining card, splitting meals could be the way to go. Here are some shareable entrees: Columbia Harbour House — The Trio Platter at this popular Magic Kingdom spot features Fried Shrimp, Chicken Tenders, Battered Fish, Hushpuppies, and your choice of side for $14.29. That Columbia Harbour House Trio Platter Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe — The all-beef footlong hot dog topped with chili and cheese at Cosmic Ray’s in Magic Kingdom is a huge sandwich that can be easily cut in half and enjoyed by two. Sunshine Seasons — The Oak-Grilled Rotisserie Chicken Platter here comes with a huge serving of roasted chicken, as well as black beans and yellow rice — all for $12.79. La Cantina de San Angel — Over at EPCOT’s Mexico, the taco trio — which consists of barbacoa, camaron, and pollo tacos — is easy to share, especially because you can split the serving of rice and beans it comes with for $14.99. Taco Trio Woody’s Lunchbox — The BBQ Brisket Melt at Woody’s Lunchbox in Hollywood Studios is another great sharable option. It’s easy to split this sandwich that features Shredded Smoked Brisket, Pickles, and Tangy Barbecue Sauce between Melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack on Grilled Sourdough Bread. Flame Tree Barbecue — One of our OG-favorite shareable meals is the Ribs and Chicken combo at Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom! With ribs, chicken, cole slaw, and baked beans for $15.69, this is a great value for the money. Choose Snacks Instead of Meals Disney World has a plethora of snacks available, and sometimes, we like to just snack our way around the World rather than sit down for full meals. Here are a few snacks we would choose over a meal every time! Eight Spoon Cafe — Over at Eight Spoon Cafe in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is the Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork for $6.79. This snack is pretty hefty and comes with macaroni and cheese topped with pulled pork, barbecue sauce, and some pickles. Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Pulled Pork at Eight Spoon Cafe Sleepy Hollow Refreshments — You can get the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich here which has strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella!) for $8.49. Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich Woody’s Lunch Box — What are Totchos, you ask? Why, they’re Tater Tot nachos, of course! These are potato barrels coated with beef and bean chili, shredded cheese and signature queso with tomatoes and corn chips. They’re then finished with sour cream and a sprinkle of green onions for $9.99. TOTCHOS! Splurges Maybe you’ve already saved up and budgeted for the food on your Disney World vacation, and now you’re getting the 2023 Disney Dining Card promotion. You could look at this little windfall as an excuse to splurge on a dining experience or two you hadn’t planned on! Signature Dining Victoria & Albert’s — Maybe, just maybe, now’s the time to visit the most critically acclaimed restaurant at Disney World. If this experience has been out-of-reach for your budget before, perhaps the food savings from the dining card will make it a splurge you can afford this once! Just remember that reservations go super quickly here, so be ready to make your Advance Dining Reservation as early as you can. Pink Pineapple Amuse Bouche at Victoria & Albert’s Jiko — This spot in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is known for its tranquil atmosphere, and its beautiful, delicious food. As a signature dining location, it is priced on the higher end of Disney World dining, but we highly recommend a trip there! California Grill — Is there anything that beats a Disney World fireworks view with dinner? This iconic experience is one you’ll probably remember for a long time — but it doesn’t come cheap. You could use your Disney World Dining Card to help you afford it! Character Dining Perhaps having some extra money for food in your pocket (or saved on your phone, in this case), would allow you to take the family to an extra character dining experience! Characters have returned to many dining locations in the past several months. Here are some of our faves! Best Friends Breakfast at ‘Ohana — You can meet Mickey, Pluto, Lilo, and Stitch at this breakfast at the Polynesian Village Resort. Mickey can be cheeky sometimes Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Harvest Feast at Garden Grill — This rotating restaurant in The Land Pavilion at EPCOT serves a family-style meal that includes vegetables grown right there in the pavilion. The food is delicious, and meeting Chip, Dale, Pluto, and Mickey in his overalls is super fun, too. Farmer Mickey is absolutely precious. Breakfast a la Art at Topolino’s Terrace — This rooftop restaurant at Disney’s Riviera Resort has one of our favorite character breakfast experiences! You can meet Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy here, and since it’s an art-themed breakfast, they are all showing off the clothes they wear to pursue their creative hobbies. Did you know Daisy is a dancer? One More Thing Our final tip for using your Disney Dining Card is simple — until it’s not. USE IT ALL. You would probably be surprised at how many people leave Disney World with a few bucks left on some gift cards, or back in the days of the Disney Dining Plan — a bunch of snack credits. You’ve booked this trip because of the discount offer, so be sure you’re taking advantage of the full discount. Start using the card early in your trip — don’t wait until the end. And if you see on your final day that you’re going to have some leftover money on the card, splurge on some extra ice cream or a fancy coffee. Don’t Forget!

It was 2022 — Disney World had mostly returned to some sense of normalcy following the park closures, and then… Were you able to snag one of these coveted buckets? MASS CHAOS ENSUED. Who had any idea that such a small, seemingly insignificant popcorn bucket could wreak havoc on the Disney community?! The Figment Popcorn Bucket was the HOTTEST commodity at last year’s EPCOT Festival of the Arts, and we just learned that Figgy will be BACK for 2023! Get ready — the Figment Popcorn Bucket is returning for the 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts! Disney shared the news on its TikTok account. Last year, Figgy drew HUGE crowds, long lines, and eventually the bucket sold out leading to some seriously steep markups on the resale market. But the good news is that if you missed out on snagging this adorable little popcorn pal last year, you’ll have another chance at this year’s festival! Collectors went crazy over Figment! This is one of our favorite festivals of the year and promises colorful art displays, exciting entertainment, and of course — FOOD! Disney has already shared which food booths are returning, and you can see all the confirmed menu items here. Be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news and more!

The Disney Dining Plan isn’t back yet (Disney said it would return, but they haven’t provided any details yet), but Disney is offering a different promotion that might help you save on dining! Dining in Disney World (Liberty Tree Tavern) The Dining Promo Card is a promotion that we’ve seen before in various forms, and it’s returning in a new way in 2023. It’s essentially a gift card that you can only use at select Disney World restaurants. Only certain guests can receive a Dining Promo Card — we’ll go into more details about who gets the cards in this post. If you do receive a card, though, how do you decide where to spend it? We’re here to help you find the BEST value for your Disney Dining Promo Card. What Is the Dining Promo Card? The Dining Promo Card is basically a gift card that you can use at select Disney World restaurants. The card is included with certain hotel reservations, and we’ll go into the details about how you can qualify for the promotion in the next section. Cinderella’s Royal Table is literally INSIDE the castle! If you have a qualifying Disney hotel reservation, you’ll receive the promo card in your email once you check into your reservation. The card’s value depends on your vacation arrival date, how long you’re staying at the hotel, and which hotel you choose. Disney’s Art of Animation Resort The offer is good for up to a $750 Dining Promo Card. Here are the values based on travel dates and resorts: At value resorts — $35 per night if your arrival date is between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $50 per night if your arrival date is between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th At moderate resorts — $75 per night if your arrival date falls between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $100 per night if your arrival date falls between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th At deluxe resorts — $125 per night if your arrival date falls between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $150 per night if your arrival date falls between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th Disney’s Riviera Resort The Dining Promo Card will be emailed to the address of the lead guest on the reservation after check-in. The email will include a barcode that can be scanned at restaurants, and the card may be added to Google or Apple Wallets on your phone. However, this card cannot be attached to a MagicBand, MagicBand+, or MagicMobile. (So you won’t be able to use those devices to scan like you could with the Disney Dining Plan.) The card cannot be linked to MagicBands If you’re Mobile Ordering, you may enter the number of the gift card into the My Disney Experience app to pay for your order. Whatever balance is remaining on your dining card will expire on September 30th, 2023. Who Gets a Dining Promo Card? Disney has announced that the new Dining Promo Card offer will be available for guests who are visiting between June 25th, 2023, and September 14th, 2023. Guests must book a minimum 4-night stay at a Disney World hotel with at least 4 days of park tickets in order to be eligible to receive the card. Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Disney has done something similar in the past for guests visiting from the UK, and we’ve also seen a Quick Service Dining Card offered to people who stay at Disney World good neighbor hotels. The new promotion is for people staying at Disney World hotels who also booked park tickets. Entering Magic Kingdom The offer became available to book on January 5th. There is only one card per reservation, so if you have a large group staying in multiple hotel rooms, it would be better to book separately. Current reservations that fit the dates can be modified with the new offer, but keep in mind that some hotel prices recently increased, so the modification may cost you more than it cost when you originally booked. Pop Century Resort There are some locations where you CAN’T use the Dining Promo Card, and those are listed below: Merchandise locations and candy kitchens Dining locations at Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and Walt Disney World Swan Reserve Hotel Dining locations at Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort Dining locations at Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels Dining locations at Walt Disney World Official Hotels at Bonnet Creek Dining locations at Walt Disney World Gateway Hotels Swan and Dolphin Resort, Owned by Marriott Bonvoy Make sure you double-check that the restaurant you choose qualifies for this deal before dining! You can always ask a Cast Member or talk to Guest Relations. Now that you know how the card works and who is eligible to receive one, let’s dive into which restaurants would provide the BEST value for your Dining Promo Card. Best Value Quick Service Restaurants Satu’li Canteen Satu’li Canteen is a popular quick service spot in the Pandora section of Animal Kingdom. This place serves up bowls with a ton of food! A feast! They range in price from $12.99 to $17.49 and you can choose between slow-roasted sliced grilled beef, chopped wood-grilled chicken, chili-garlic shrimp, chili-spiced crispy fried tofu, or a combo of beef and chicken. You also get to choose your base, between things like rice and beans, noodles, or mixed greens, as well as your sauce. Then, the bowls are topped with vegetable slaw and boba balls. It’s a LOT of food that’s fresh and filling. Chili Garlic Shrimp Bowl You can also get the famous cheeseburger steamed pods, which are bao buns filled with your classic cheeseburger fillings and served with veggie slaw and chips for $13.29. It’s a great meal or snack to split! Click here to see our recent review of Satu’li Canteen! Flame Tree Barbecue Moving on in Animal Kingdom, let’s check out Flame Tree Barbecue on Discovery Island! Here you can find things like chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and baked macaroni and cheese. The entrees are between $11.79 and $16.49 and come with a lot of food. Our Meal! The meat-focused entrees come with baked beans AND coleslaw, or you can get an extra side of things like onion rings or fries for $4.49. These are hearty meals that will fill you up and are also great to share. Just delish Special shout out to the Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Pulled Pork that comes with onion rings and coleslaw on top for just $12.49 — it’s a wonderful snack to share or a meal for one! Click here to see more about Flame Tree Barbecue! Woody’s Lunch Box Woody’s Lunch Box is over in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and serves up some favorites you might’ve had in your school lunch when you were a kid, like grilled cheese or a turkey sandwich. But, these are a bit more elevated than what you might’ve found in your elementary school cafeteria! Woody’s Lunch Box! The grilled cheese actually has a blend of three cheeses (which are amazing, by the way), and the turkey sandwich is smoked and comes with a dijonnaise on multi-grain bread. You can also get a BBQ Brisket Melt or the fan-favorite “Totchos.” These are potato barrels (Tater Tots) topped with beef and bean chili, shredded cheese, and queso with tomatoes, corn chips, sour cream, and green onions. The best part? They’re only about $10! Lunch Box Tarts All of the entrees here are between about $10-$14. Breakfast is even less expensive, with a breakfast version of the Totchos for just $8.79. And, for a snack or a dessert to your meal, you can get a Lunch Box Tart for under $5. They come in a variety flavors and are definitely big enough to share! Click here to see more about Woody’s Lunch Box! Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie Les Halles is a French patisserie in the (you guessed it) France Pavilion of EPCOT’s World Showcase. It’s basically a bakery that serves pastries but also things like soups and sandwiches. There are a LOT of options here, so you can pick and choose what makes up your ideal meal or snack. Les Halles Sandwiches range in price from $6.95-$9.75, but there are also things like lobster bisque in a bread bowl for just $5.95, Quiche Lorraine for $7, or a FULL baguette fresh from the oven for just $3.50! This is also THE spot to get something sweet that won’t break the bank. A plain croissant is just $2.95, a chocolate croissant is $3.80, and a creme brûlée is only $4.95. BREAD But, do know that this place is pretty popular! You might have to wait in a decent-sized line to get some food. You can try to get there as soon as they open up though to beat the crowds. Click here to see some of our FAVORITE items from Les Halles Regal Eagle Smokehouse If you’re looking for some barbecue in EPCOT, Regal Eagle is the place to go! It’s over in the American Adventure pavilion and is one of the newer spots in World Showcase. They have a real smoker outside, an outdoor bar, and indoor and outdoor seating for you to use. It’s themed after Sam Eagle from The Muppets, and you can find fun little Easter eggs around the space! Regal Eagle Smokehouse Like we said, this place has all kinds of barbecue, from pulled pork to brisket to smoked chicken. They also have several different kinds of sauces, like North Carolina vinegar or classic Texas brisket sauce. The portions here are a decent size too — they’ll definitely give you a good foundation as you make your way around EPCOT! These are hearty meals that will fill you up. Somehouse BBQ Burger The entrees here are between $9.50-$16.50 and come with things like garlic toast and a side. Sides here are filling as well with things like macaroni and cheese, baked beans with burnt ends, or beer-battered onion rings. So, you can get a lot of food for your money, and you can easily split that food with someone else if you want to! Click here to see more about Regal Eagle Smokehouse Columbia Harbour House Columbia Harbour House is a popular seafood spot located in Liberty Square. Entrees run between $10.49 and $16.99, but that $16.99 entree is a large Lobster Roll served with French Fries! For Just $15.99 you can get a New England Shrimp Boil that comes with shrimp, potatoes, corn, and andouille sausage served with warm Parker house rolls (YUM!). Shrimp Boil Or, you can get a grilled salmon or grilled shrimp meal for $14.29. Can’t decide? Get a trio with fried shrimp, chicken strips, battered fish, hushpuppies, AND your choice of a side for $14.29. That’s a LOT of food that’s easily shareable. The full spread at Columbia Harbor House! If you want something smaller but still filling, you can get a bowl of New England Clam Chowder for $6.79, or a side of just hushpuppies for $4.49 — that sounds like a great lunch to us! Click here to see more about Columbia Harbour House! Chicken Guy Chicken Guy! is celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s restaurant in Disney Springs that serves up chicken tenders! Listen, sometimes you just need some good chicken tenders and fries, and this is the place to get them. You can get 3 for $5.99 or 5 for $7.99. Get ’em fried or grilled and they come with your choice of two signature sauces! Tenders and sauces from Chicken Guy! The sauces are a big deal here — there are over 20 to choose from, and you can get additional flavors for just 50 cents. There are also some sandwiches here that range from $6.99 to $7.99, or you can make it a combo for $12.49 which comes with fries and a drink. A chicken sandwich in Disney World for $7? That’s pretty great! Lots of flavors! The sides here a hefty too, so they can make a great snack, like the Mac Daddy Mac ’N’ Cheese for $4.49 or the Loaded Fries for $7.99. Click here to see our most recent review of Chicken Guy! Gasparilla Island Grill Gasparilla Island Grill is a quick service spot at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. This spot offers a diverse menu during all meal times. Outdoor seating is cafe-style and offers a beautiful view of the Grand Floridian marina with Cinderella Castle in the distance, while the indoor seating features roomy booths and tables in a peaceful and bright setting. Gasparilla Island Grill Entrance to the restaurant is located on the 1st floor from the Resort’s outdoor paths. Resort mugs with unlimited refills from Gasparilla’s beverage station are available. (And take it from us that you should always take a moment to peek in the bakery case and be on the lookout for some seasonal goodies!) Inside the grill One of the BEST things to get at this restaurant is the House-made Macaroni & Cheese, which costs $9.29. Trust us, you do NOT want to miss this mac & cheese. Other lunch entrées include various flatbread pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. All of the entrées cost between $9.29 and $14.49, and some come with sides like french fries. Chicken and Brie sandwich Dinner brings a few more diverse options to the table, like the Mojo Chicken and Seitan bowls for $15.49 each. And during breakfast time, you can find Mickey waffles, breakfast platters, and egg sandwiches here, which cost between $8.99 and $12.99. Overall, it’s a great place to eat, the food is super tasty, and it’s not going to break the bank. Click here for our recent review of Gasparilla Island Grill. Capt. Cook’s At Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, you can find Capt. Cook’s! This spot offers unique island-inspired quick service meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a casual, yet fun, environment. Capt. Cook’s For breakfast, Capt. Cook’s serves up a signature dish among its offerings: Tonga Toast! Breakfast is between $9.99 and $12.99 per entrée (with the Tonga Toast costing $10.49). Polynesian favorites (like an Aloha Pork Sandwich and the very tasty Pulled Pork Nachos) along with classic quick service eats like burgers, are served for lunch and dinner. Lunch and dinner will cost between $9.99 and $12.79. Our spread! While you can always pick up a cupcake or pastry here, too, don’t forget that you can grab a Dole Whip for dessert right next door at Pineapple Lanai! Read our review of Tonga Toast at Capt. Cook’s here. Best Value Table Service Restaurants Sanaa One of our favorite places to eat is Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — Kidani Village. This is one of the most unique dining experiences at a Disney World resort, offering African and Indian-inspired dishes. Sanaa Besides the food (which is very good), the main reason that you’ll want to visit Sanaa is the view! Just outside the windows while you dine are safari animals! The restaurant is located on the Sunset Savanna where you get to see zebras, giraffes, gazelles, and more. We recommend that you request a window table so you can get the absolute best views of the animals. Animal View If you have the option, we’d recommend grabbing a lunch reservation so you can see the animals better. What makes this restaurant such an amazing deal is that you get the safari animal experience without having to pay for admission to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It’s like lunch and a show! In fact, time your visit for a day you don’t have park admission and you can save some SERIOUS cash by enjoying both your meal and the animals around the resort. Sanaa Bread Service…With an Onlooker! We have yet to have a bad dining experience at Sanaa, and we admire the unique eats and theming. One of the highlights here is the Indian-style Bread Service, which consists of 5 choices of bread and nine sauces! These range from hummus to jam to chutney and everything in between. Sanaa Bread Service The star of the menu though is the slow-simmered entrees. Think meat or veggies in a rich sauce with rice. This is comfort food done so right. Entrees include Pojite-inspired Goan Seafood Curry, Butter Chicken, or Braised Beef with Aloo Masala, Chickpea Wat, Cilantro-Coconut Vegetables with scented Basmati Rice ($28). They also have more familiar items like the Sanaa Burger with Spiced Mustard and Peppadew-Goat Cheese served with Sanaa Chips and a Pickle Spear ($18). This is a fairly affordable restaurant, plus you get the Animal Kingdom experience while you dine! Butter Chicken (Left) and Paneer Tikka (Right) The animal-view is really what makes this a better deal than other restaurants in this price range. Plus, a dining reservation here gives you access to the resort, and if you go walk by the savanna, you can probably get closer to many of the breeds of animals than you can in Animal Kingdom! AND you don’t have to pay for the theme park ticket to get one of the biggest draws of the park. Sounds like a pretty good deal to us! Here is our latest Sanaa review! Garden Grill Located in The Land pavilion in EPCOT, Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Harvest Feast at Garden Grill Restaurant is one of the only places you’ll find Mickey Mouse in EPCOT — and he’s joined by Chip, Dale, and Pluto! These four characters provide ample entertainment at this family-style restaurant. Garden Grill The food is served on platters here, so it’s an all-you-can-eat feast with your family. Since the earliest days of EPCOT Center, this restaurant has had many different styles, but has always been Disney World’s only rotating restaurant. Throughout your meal, you’ll see several of the different scenes from the Living with the Land ride below. Garden Grill eats The meal costs $55 per adult and $36 per child, which may not sound super cheap, but it’s actually a great deal for an all-you-can-eat meal at a character dining restaurant. The novelty of this spot makes it even more fun — where else can you dine at a rotating restaurant? Click here to see our recent review of Garden Grill. Via Napoli If you’re looking to dine at a classic EPCOT restaurant in World Showcase, Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion can be a really great deal. Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion This is probably the most notable pizzeria on Disney World property, and that is a highlight of their menu. And if you get a pizza to share with the group, the cost to dine here will go way down. Via Napoli Pizza Ovens Luckily, Via Napoli has a GIANT pizza that can feed many people! There are Individual, Large, and Mezzo Metro sizes for each type of pizza, and the Mezzo Metro size is HUGE for $55. If you split this pizza between a large group, this a great deal. It’s also super fun for your kids, and they will be amazed by the sheer size of this thing! OMG Via Napoli also has a few pasta dishes ranging from $27-$30, but the pizza is the best bang for your buck here. It IS a pizzeria after all! As one of the most iconic restaurants in World Showcase, we couldn’t help but put this lovable restaurant on the list. There is amazing service here, and the Cast Members treat you like part of the big, Italian family. There are tons of options in EPCOT, but what makes this spot stand out is the lovable atmosphere. Where else can you see super-detailed wood-burning pizza ovens? Click here to read our latest review of Via Napoli! Raglan Road Raglan Road is an authentic Irish pub right in the heart of Disney Springs. And when we say that this pub is authentic, we mean it. The bars and furniture in the pub were actually built in Ireland. Raglan Road Classic Irish dishes are presented with a contemporary twist, and you’ll enjoy your terrific food and lively craic in a spot that often features live Irish music and dancing. The Rollicking Raglan Brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays. Fish and Chips Brunch costs between $20 and $28 a plate, and meals for lunch and dinner generally cost between $24 and $35. The exciting atmosphere and quality of the food make this a great deal in our books. See a recent review of Raglan Road here. Story Book Dining at Artist Point Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White is a Character Meal at Disney World’s beautiful Wilderness Lodge. Guests enjoy a prix-fixe meal and can look forward to Snow White, Dopey, and Grumpy stopping by throughout the dinner. And The Evil Queen is even present for a unique photo opportunity. Hi, Snow White! Formerly a signature restaurant, Artist Point’s setting and menu have been entirely transformed with a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs theme for this experience. The meal costs $65 per adult and $39 per child. The table will share various appetizers, and everyone picks an entrée and dessert. Royal Prime Rib Roast Although this meal is more expensive than any counter service spot will cost, the quality of the food and unique characters present make it a great deal, especially if you’re a fan of Disney princesses. And it’s a bit cheaper than Cinderella’s Royal Table — another princesses character dining spot. See our recent review of Story Book Dining here. Wine Bar George Wine Bar George has become a pretty popular restaurant in Disney Springs. You hear “wine bar” and think of this as a pricier restaurant with an emphasis on wine, but we’re here to tell you that it can actually be a great deal! Wine Bar George For lunch and dinner, guests can grab a variety of small plates including Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites ($14), Hummus ($14), Saganaki on Fire ($16), and even Roasted Beets ($12) if you’re feeling healthy. These aren’t too expensive and they are easily shared among the table. The food here is really, really good. It’s fast become one of our favorite spots in Disney World. Entrées cost between $15 and $19 for lunch, or you can get family-style plates that feed 4 people for $75-$76. Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites On top of the lovely eats and wine, this gorgeous restaurant has rooftop dining with stunning views of Disney Springs. Want gorg photos of that Aerophile balloon? They gotchu. View from Wine Bar George Balcony ::chef’s kiss:: This spot has been a DFB favorite for quite some time, and for good reason. Not only is the food amazing and reasonably priced, but the restaurant itself is beautiful. Based on the views and service alone, we feel like we should be paying a lot more for the experience than we actually do! How can you go wrong with a glass of wine, mac & cheese bites, and people-watching from a rooftop table? Find out about our last experience at the practically perfect Wine Bar George ‘Ohana Now let’s talk about a fan favorite — ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! ‘Ohana has been a popular choice for YEARS thanks to its delicious all-you-care-to-eat Polynesian feast served family-style and chill island atmosphere. The noodles here are so famous that when the restaurant reopened without them on the menu, people RIOTED on the internet and get them brought back. Mickey at ‘Ohana — Best Friends Breakfast! If you’re visiting for breakfast, you can enjoy a character experience with Mickey, Pluto, Lilo, and Stitch. Come here later in the evening, and you might be able to request a window-side table to get amazing views of the fireworks at Magic Kingdom! *tears up* Both meals are incredibly popular and hard to get reservations for, so you’ll want to plan in advance. You’ll pay $45 per adult and $29 per child for breakfast, and dinner costs $59 per adult and $38 per child. With all-you-can-eat meals, you can certainly make the meal worth the cost.

Steakhouse 71 Steakhouse 71 opened up at Disney’s Contemporary Resort for the 50th Anniversary in 2021, replacing The Wave on the first floor of the hotel. The new restaurant is a traditional American steakhouse vibe, with varying menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Steakhouse 71 We’re not always the biggest fans of sit-down meals in Magic Kingdom, and if you aren’t either, then this restaurant is just a short walk away, a little reprieve from a busy park day. We have to recommend the burger (it’s a classic!) and the French Onion Soup has been a favorite for many as well. Steakhouse 71 Stack Burger This spot is surprisingly affordable for a sit-down Disney World restaurant, especially if you visit for lunch. That burger that we love is only $21, and the rest of the entrées cost between $16 and $26. Dinner is a bit more expensive, but the steak is still cheaper than most other steak houses in Disney World. For example, a 6-oz. filet mignon is $38 here, compared to $62 at Le Cellier. Read Our Steakhouse 71 Dinner Review Here! Skipper Canteen Magic Kingdom is full of classic snacks like Mickey pretzels, Dole Whip, and hand-dipped corn dogs, but one restaurant in Adventureland offers up some really unique food — Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen. Skipper Canteen The menu may seem only for the most adventurous eaters but there’s actually a wide range of options (once you get past the punny names!). Guests can grab entrées like Irrawaddy Irma’s Hanger Steak ($38), “Hardy Har Char” Siu Pork ($28), or opt for something a little more unique like the Sustainable Fish. This dish is “Not Piranha” (AKA — whatever fresh, sustainable fish is readily available at the time) served on a Cassava Fritter with Wilted Greens and a Guava-Habanero Sauce for $32. We even listed this as one of the most dangerous things to eat in Disney World! Whole Fried Fish(es) at Skipper Canteen There are entrées with African, Asian, and Latin twists with a healthy dose of Jungle Cruise puns mixed in. The price is not bad at all for the amount and quality of food that you get. If you are a Jungle Cruise fan, you’ll adore the story and decor of this restaurant. The restaurant itself is said to be a repurposed tropical headquarters that now feeds hungry Skippers and their crew. It’s chocked full of Jungle Cruise memorabilia and details, so this is a must-see for people who love the opening day attraction! Crew’s Mess Hall And of course it wouldn’t be a Jungle Cruise-themed restaurant without a witty server hitting you with all the dad jokes you can handle. This spot is a lot of fun, so come ready to laugh. As much as we love our standard Disney food, there is nowhere else like Skipper Canteen in the parks. The theming is impeccable, and there are so many hidden details in the restaurant. We’d almost count this as both a restaurant and an attraction, especially for HUGE Jungle Cruise fans! Compared to other table-service restaurants in the park, the atmosphere is original and exciting, and the dining experience is truly a fun one. Check out our latest visit to Skipper Canteen Best Value Lounges Geyser Point Geyser Point Bar & Grill — located near the Copper Creek Springs Pool at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge — is a unique space in that it offers two different kinds of service for guests… all in one cozy and lovely setting. Geyser Point blends two different dining styles (a Table Service lounge and a Quick Service walk-up counter) and two different menus. Geyser Point Bar & Grill The Featured Cocktail list at the lounge boasts beverages unique to Geyser Point featuring spirits from Northwest distilleries in keeping with the theme of the Resort. Hearty appetizers can be ordered from the lounge as well, while full entrees are available at the connected Counter Service. Bison Cheeseburger The open air restaurant offers gorgeous waterfront views, and a fireplace for cool evenings. Small plates here cost between $5 and $18 each, and more hearty eats will be between $12 and $21. You’ll see options like chicken wings, barbecue brisket dip, charcuterie, burgers, and more. Learn more about Geyser Point here. Nomad Lounge One of our favorite places to eat in Animal Kingdom is Nomad Lounge. This lounge is attached to Tiffins, but is much more low-key, with casual couch and lounge chair seating both indoors and outdoors on the porch. If you sit next to the water, you might be treated to a great view of the flotillas going by on the Discovery River. Nomad Lounge The menu here changes from time to time, but there are plenty of drink options, including non-alcoholic mocktails, as well as a number of small plates. There’s typically some kind of slider offering as well as a bowl, along with other seasonal and limited-time specialties. Either way, it’s almost always delicious! Nomad Lounge Churros and Dipping Sauces Small plates cost between $9 and $16, and they’re definitely shareable as snacks. Cocktails run from $14 to $17, and you can find a few mocktails on the menu that cost between $5 and $8. We highly recommend getting the churros here, which come with a couple of tasty dipping sauces! And don’t forget that the Tiffins Bread Service is available — it’s a must-try if you haven’t had it before. Click Here to Check Out a Nomad Lounge Review! Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto Downstairs from ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort isTrader Sam’s Grog Grotto, the one-of-a-kind bar and lounge. Behind the unassuming door, you’ll find all kinds of fun antics, from zany bartenders to sinking stools and special effects when you order certain drinks from the menu. Trader Sam’s It’s truly a wild experience, one that we highly recommend checking out at least once! They’ve got a few small plates and appetizers for those hoping for some sustenance, but their over-the-top drink menu is where they really shine. We love hanging out in here! Drinks here run from $14 to $22 for most drinks, with a couple of specialty cocktails priced higher than that. Appetizers are between $10 and $18 per plate. The eats and drinks aren’t super cheap, but the atmosphere more than makes up for the cost. Click Here to See Our Review of Trader Sam’s! Tambu Lounge Want to get some of the best ‘Ohana eats without paying full price for a meal there? Then head to Tambu Lounge at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Here, you can get appetizers like sushi, pot stickers, wings, and ribs, and if you ask nicely, you can even get a bowl of ‘Ohana noodles. Tambu Lounge Don’t forget the drinks! The bartenders are great and friendly, and sipping a signature Lapu Lapu (a rum drink served in a fresh pineapple) is always memorable. NOODLES Appetizers cost between $13 and $18, and cocktails are between $12 and $20. This is a great place to kill some time and relax, or you can use it as a full meal by getting a few appetizers to share. Check out a Tambu Lounge SECRET here! Steakhouse 71 Lounge Speaking of popular eats for cheap, you can stop by the Steakhouse 71 Lounge to find many of our favorite Steakhouse 71 meals without needing to book a reservation.

Just head to the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge and order the famous Cobb Salad for $22. Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge There are more lounge bites on the menu here, like a charcuterie board, shrimp cocktail, and sliders. They cost between $16 and $22 per plate.
