food IS a theme park
We’ve been chatting about a lot of NEW Disneyland Resort hot dogs lately! With options like the Chicago-inspired Dog and the Spicy City Dog from Award Wieners, we’ve had lots to review and talk about.
Refreshment Corner
Now, we’re back with ANOTHER dog. But this time it’s from Refreshment Corner and it’s one we’ve seen before.
Can’t wait for lunch? Head over to The Lunching Pad with us!
You’ll find this snack stop in Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. And while it looks pretty unassuming, it’s a great place to enjoy Cream Cheese Pretzels, or even Mickey Soft Pretzels!
But in addition to some of our favorite soft pretzel snacks and carbonated frozen drinks, they’re also an outlet for those delicious and inventive Gourmet Hot Dogs that you’ll find around the resort.
Today, we’re taking a look at not one, not two, but three of these deluxe dogs for lunch. C’mon!
So, atmosphere at The Lunching Pad…well, what you see is pretty much what you get.
The Lunching Pad at Rocketeer Plaza
If you’ve been to Tomorrowland, you’ve seen the atmosphere of this spot. It’s really just a walk-up window.
Ordering Window
There are a few tables scattered nearby, complete with those awesome, padded Tomorrowland seats.
And because The Lunching Pad is located beneath the PeopleMover and Astro-Orbiter, the overhang provides some much-welcomed shade when you stop here for a quick meal or snack.
Seating
But now that we’ve taken a (very quick!) tour around The Lunching Pad, let’s see about those dogs!
The menu at this snack stop is very small. You have a handful of frozen, carbonated beverages, which are so amazing on a hot day! And you can get them in plain cups or sport bottles. And as we mentioned before, this is also a good place to snag a soft pretzel.

But the star attractions here, if you’re looking for real sustenance, are the line up of over the top hot dogs.

Let’s just take a moment to admire them, shall we?
Today’s selections include, left to right, the BLT Hot Dog, the Coney Island Dog, and the Philly Cheese Steak Dog. [Editor’s Update: The Lunching Pad menu has been streamlined since the original writing of this post, and the Coney Island Dog is currently the only specialty hot dog available.]

During a weekend visit to the Magic Kingdom, Sarah Holodick continued taste testing hot dogs with a stop at The Lunching Pad. Our thanks for taking on this hot dog throw down! Take it away, Sarah!
After having an awesome experience at Casey’s Corner, Matt and I wanted to continue our hot dog throw down with the dogs at The Lunching Pad. We noticed last summer when the new dogs were introduced (I wish they had kept the Reuben Dog!), but we never made it over until now.
Since the Coney Island Dog seemed pretty basic, we decided on the Philly Cheese Steak Hot Dog and the Taco Hot Dog.
