The BEST $20 You'll Spend at Regal Eagle in Disney World

When you’re ballin’ on a budget at Disney World — every penny can count!

Regal Eagle Smokehouse

We’ve shared tons of tips and tricks to help stretch your dollars during your Disney World trip, and from time to time Disney releases special promotions that may help offset those costs, too! But, if you find yourself in search of a full meal for a price that won’t blow your budget all in one swing, we’ve crafted the perfect order for you!

One of our favorite places to eat when visiting EPCOT is Regal Eagle Smokehouse. This quick service restaurant quickly won over our hearts thanks to its smoked meats and array of barbecue sauces to mix and match with your meal. It’s also got some great AC on a steamy, hot day and there’s also seating outside!

We were recently asked a rather important question — “What’s the best way to spend $20 at Regal Eagle Smokehouse?” As your resident Disney World food experts, we ate this assignment (quite literally).

Looking over the menu, you’re probably going to be tempted by all the different cured and smoked meats to choose from, but given our budget, there’s one entree that stands out. The North Carolina Chopped Smoked Pork Butt Platter rose to the challenge for this meal, and we’re sharing why it’s the best choice!

There’s plenty of meat on this one, so much so, you might even find yourself looking for someone to share it with. Plus, it comes un-sauced so you’re able to cater the sauces to dip or dump all over the meat to your liking.

For only $13.99, it comes with 2 sides — choices include battered onion rings, seasoned french fries, mac & cheese, creamy coleslaw, and baked beans with burnt ends.

Yep, we mentioned two sides, so the other side you’ll get with this meal is the housemade cornbread which isn’t too dry or too moist and leans towards the sweeter side, if you’re asking our opinion.

Now since we’ve done so well on our entree, we’ve budgeted for some dessert. You’ll want to pay attention to the menu because we’ve seen it come and go a bit, but our winning pick is the S’mores Brownie.

Hello Beautiful

This little slice of heaven is made of a graham cracker crust, fudge brownie, topped with toasted marshmallows, and milk chocolate pieces. The name says it all, and if you enjoy a decadent brownie and a good mess of a s’more, this is the dessert marriage you’ve been waiting for! You can pick this one up for $5.49!

So delicious

So, how’d we do?! Yeah, we’re just barely under budget, but not by much. With this meal, you really get a good sense of variety in all that the restaurant offers, and we’ve got to warn you — you’ll probably be planning a return trip.
