It’s no secret that Disney World can cost a pretty penny!

Cinderella Castle

And, it’s only getting MORE expensive it seems with HUNDREDS of price increases around the parks rolling out in early 2022, too. But, rest assured — you CAN do Disney World on a budget and still have a great time, you just gotta plan! So, we’re here to help and tell you the best budget-friendly lunches in Disney World!

1. Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom has some delicious food that won’t break the bank! For lunch, you can grab the Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken-Waffle Sandwich for $11.29 which has Broccoli Slaw and a Honey-Sriracha Glaze. It’s also served with House-made Chips.

2. Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe

Over at Yak & Yeti’s quick service location in Animal Kingdom, you can grab a decent lunch actually from the sides on the menu. The Chicken Fried Rice is only $5.99 and is a great little lunch!

This is a good option if you’re on the go and don’t want to sit down for a full meal.

3. Woody’s Lunch Box

A lot of the lunch entrees at Woody’s Lunch Box in Hollywood Studios are good options if you’re on a budget. You can get the BBQ Brisket Melt for $12.99 (and split it with a friend for an even better value!) or the Smoked Turkey Sandwich for $10.49.

The Fountain over at the Walt Disney World Dolphin hotel is probably Disney World’s cheapest sit-down restaurant! It serves classic American diner food and the starters and shareables like Cheese Fries and Soft Pretzel Bites that range between $7.50 and $9.

Their burgers and sandwiches are also priced lower than most table service restaurants in Disney World, ranging from $12 to $19. You can get things like a Grilled Chicken BLT, the Original Burger, or a Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese.

5. Earl of Sandwich

Located in Disney Springs, Earl of Sandwich is a superb lunch spot. Their sandwiches are between $7.99 to $8.99 apiece and include things like a French Dip, the Earl’s Club, or a Hawaiian BBQ.

There’s also a variety of wraps and salads available for just $8.99.

6. Chicken Guy!

Also in Disney Springs, Chicken Guy! is a great place for a midday meal! This is Guy Fieri’s chicken tender joint where you can get 3 chicken tenders for $5.99 or 5 chicken tenders for $7.99, and they all come with two signature sauces (of which they have over 20!).

Lots of options at Chicken Guy!

There are also sandwiches available like the Sauce Boss for just $6.99 or the Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ for $7.99.

7. Beaches & Cream Soda Shop

Over at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, you’ll find Beaches & Cream, which is styled like an old soda shop and has delicious ice cream creations you can try out! But, they also have food you can eat for lunch and it’s budget-friendly compared to other sit-down spots in Disney World.
