food IS a theme park
There are a LOT of places to eat in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
The issue is, not all Disney World restaurants are created equal, so it’s possible you may not have a great meal when there could have been a new meal a few minutes away. That’s why we’re here — to help you decide where to eat (among many other things). However, there’s one restaurant in each of the Disney parks that can usually please everyone.
Okay, okay — we know there’s going to be a LOT of debate on this one but we’ve just got to talk about the Quick Service restaurants in EPCOT.

There are so many food options in this park and that can make it incredibly overwhelming to know which one is the “best” one to pick for you and your group. So today we’re going through what we think could be some of the most amazing options, but fair warning — even our own team was STRONGLY divided on this topic!

Disney may not have brought back the Disney Dining Plan just yet, but there are still a lot of ways to score a deal on your meal. We’re bringing you the best Quick Service restaurants to grab a bite if you’re looking for BIG portions at an affordable price! Let’s get to it!
Disney Springs is home to a lot of great dining, from quick-service options like Chicken Guy! and Polite Pig to sit-down restaurants like Wine Bar George and Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’.

But one of the secret gems in this shopping and dining center is a sandwich shop called Earl of Sandwich. This place serves some of the BEST sandwiches in Disney World and probably anywhere. It makes sense — the owner is descended from the actual inventor of sandwiches! We stopped by to try a limited-edition item that’s made especially for all the plant-based eaters out there.

We’re back in Disney Springs to try more food!

Valentine’s Day may be over, but we’re still on the hunt for new food in Disney Springs. And when we heard about the new Chicken & Waffles at The Polite Pig, we just had to give them a try. After all, these are TATER TOT waffles we’re talking about!
Greetings from Disney’s Old Key West Resort! This week we stopped by to check out the lunch options at The Gurgling Suitcase! The Gurgling Suitcase is a relaxing respite in Disney World, and they didn’t always serve food (though you could order from Olivia’s). But for a few years now they have their very own menu!
The Gurgling Suitcase
It’s already super hot in Florida so we were excited to swing by for a quick bite and cold drink! By the way, did you know the Gurgling Suitcase got its name from people trying to smuggle alcohol from Cuba into Key West in their luggage? Inspectors would shake the suitcases to see if the “gurgled” — hence the name The Gurgling Suitcase. Always so clever, Disney.
If you’ve purchased (or acquired free!) the Disney Dining Plan for your next Walt Disney World vacation, you’re probably wondering how to maximize the Plan, getting the best and most satisfying food for your DDP dollar. The value of a Quick Service meal includes the cost, of course, but also the quality of the food and other variables like how it can save you credits, cash, time, or stress. We take all of those bits into consideration when we bring you our recommendations for DDP Quick Service values.
