food vacation here on dfv guide [Music] hey everybody it's aj for disney food blog and as much as i love many of the table service restaurants around disney world property i also recognize that hey they can be a pain to schedule ahead of time b they can take a huge chunk of precious time out of your disney day and see they are expensive so today we're doing something totally different and planning a disney eating itinerary completely around the best fast food restaurants on disney world property want the top fast food joints at disney world dropped conveniently into your inbox drop us your email over at disney foodbog.com onlyfastfood and you'll get a pdf list for free and you'll get signed up for our newsletter so you don't miss restaurant reviews construction updates and of course fast food info so let's start in the park that has the least potential when it comes to high quality fast food magic kingdom anyone shocked that the most popular park can be the least delicious well there's lots of fast food here but you may have to hunt for the good stuff let's start with breakfast there are three quick service places i'm going to shout out for the first meal of the day if you want to start your day with something sweet then head to sleepy hollow refreshments in liberty square sure you can pick up your standard mickey shaped waffle here which might be enough of a selling point for you as is but for just a dollar extra you can get your mickey waffle top of strawberries and powdered sugar by the way this is one of the rare fast food spots where you'll still find the giant mickey waffle instead of the tiny waffles so you know that's a thing or if you want a few more nutrients you can order the fresh fruit waffle sandwich which is stuffed with strawberries and bananas and blueberries and a chocolate hazelnut spread which maybe has some protein who knows if you're trying to track down a giant fluffy cinnamon roll because why wouldn't you be doing that gasson's tavern over in fantasyland has warm cinnamon rolls for about seven bucks now i don't know if you know my history with those magic kingdom cinnamon rolls but back before starbucks took over the main street bakery that's right kids didn't always be a starbucks that was the place to find some of the best cinnamon rolls in disney world period but now the place you're going to track down a slightly similar cinnamon roll recipe is none other than gaston's place and let me tell you those are roughly the size of a barge so if you don't want to get the same old same old starby selection and you want much shorter lines for a quick but filling breakfast snack then gastons is where you're going to want to go especially right there at the very beginning of the day because everyone's in line at starbucks but you're going to be way at the back of the park at gaston's tavern where there's nobody but let's say you want to start your day with something more savory the fryer's nook in fantasyland has both a breakfast sandwich made with eggs bacon and cheese and a multi-grain croissant and sausage and gravy tater tots but even if you're wanting something sweet while the rest of your group wants the savory stuff don't worry you can grab an order of cinnamon sugar donut holes at the fryer's nook for under six bucks full disclosure in the past we have seen friar's nook breakfast offerings as a seasonal situation but they've been hanging out on the menu for a while now so you should be good to go just keep in mind that if you're visiting during one of disney world's slower seasons there is the possibility that this breakfast won't be an option but don't you worry powdered sugar doughnut holes are also an option over at pecos bill telltale inning cafe or westward ho over in frontierland all day long so lots of sugar now what's on the menu for lunch it's hard to really vouch for one quick service and one quick service only here except for the one i'm gonna shout out for dinner because that one deserves high praise and fanfare aplenty however one thing i can see about magic kingdom's fast food options is that there are a lot of them so instead of talking about one lunch stop we're gonna rapid fire some of the best eats at multiple quick service locations around the different magic kingdom lands we're gonna start at main street usa with casey's corner for all you hot dog fans out there might i suggest the corn dog nuggets these are great to have as a snack before a bigger meal or you can get them as a lighter on-the-go option and you can make them 10 times more desirable in my humble opinion when you add a cup of plastic cheese on the side for a buck more casey's corner also has rotating seasonal hot dog options which are usually super unique the specialty 50th anniversary hot dog that's there now is topped with funnel cake pieces and strawberry bacon jam so that's interesting but you know if you're tired of that standard ketchup mustard combo now you know where to go in magic kingdom speaking of seasonal flavors cosmic rays starlight cafe over in tomorrowland also offers rotating specialty options with a variety of flavors you don't see every day now i know a lot of you are saying aj this is supposed to be the best fast food in magic kingdom why are you talking about cosmic rays noted viewer and valid point but we've seen fries topped with cheeto dust burgers with mozzarella sticks eggnog milkshakes you know some interesting seasonal stuff but along with the abnormal they've got your standard theme park eats available at all times for those pickier eaters this is where you're going to get your hockey puck burgers in magic kingdom if you really really want them now pecos build telltale inning cafe doesn't just have donut holes actually it's best known for its tex-mex offerings right now those of you who have been on the pecos bill telltale inn and cafe roller coaster with me over the past 10 or 15 years know that this is a i guess relatively new menu over there for us oldies now one of the best bangs for your buck is that fajita platter which will give you pork carnitas and seasoned chicken with yellow rice beans fajita vegetables lettuce tomato sour cream salsa and flour tortillas aka lots of food definitely shareable now i used to be a huge fan of the fixin's bar here where you could top off any tacos or burritos or nachos whatever add-ons you like but ever since those 2020 closures the fixin's bar has been unavailable that being said you can still request whatever toppings you want on the side of your meal but as we know guacamole is extra the spring roll card over in adventureland has a couple of different savory spring roll options if you're feeling more snacky than starving and those options rotate out often too most recently we've seen cheeseburger spring rolls pizza spring rolls buffalo chicken spring rolls pastrami with pepper jack cheese spring rolls what but no matter what you choose each flavor is going to cost you 2 for 9.50 and the snacky lunch options continue at westwood ho in frontierland where you can find choices like the candied bacon skewer coated with brown sugar and served with a side of potato chips or the more desserty option wendell's bear club which is a chocolate dipped in hazelnut sprinkled pastry that reminds me why i love eating disney food for a living in the first place i seriously buy this thing like three times when i'm in disney world or you can even make your way back to sleepy hollow refreshments after 11 am when the sweet and spicy chicken waffle sandwich becomes available and as you can see magic kingdom's got a lot for you to chow down on even if you have to make it a progressive meal it's not necessarily the food desert that you might think all right dinner in magic kingdom liberty square is apparently a gold mine for reliable quick service options because we're heading back to eat at columbia harbor house now columbia harbor house is a nautical themed setting with a selection of satisfying surf and turf options one of our favorite items to grab here is the chilled lobster roll but there are other different grilled and fried fish and chicken options too depending on your preference one of the best deals here is the captain's trio that's got fried shrimp and chicken strips and battered fish as well as hush puppies and your choice of sides with a lot of food very shareable and speaking of hush puppies even if you don't want a surf and turf dinner you can still swing by columbia harbor house in the afternoon to just order a side of hush puppies for under five bucks these make for a crispy savory and filling snack that's gonna hold you over before your next big meal quick tip though if you do wait here and the upstairs seating is open definitely head upstairs with your tray there's a lot of seating up there and most folks don't even know about it so you have a much better option of finding a free table and having a more relaxing and quieter potentially meal see we already accomplished day one and packed it full of great fast food and great fast food only so let's keep the ball rolling over at the park where food options can be overwhelming that's right we're going to epcot now i know a lot of you out there love the plethora of food options epcot has to offer but if you're wanting something less expensive than a table service restaurant it's fast food to the rescue all right breakfast time if you're starting your epcot day in the france pavilion to try and be one of the first guests in line for remy's ratatouille adventure then you're going to be in the best section for some affordable pastries croissants and quiches from leia boulangerie patisserie remember even if world showcase doesn't open till 11 france will open with the park the crowds here shouldn't be terrible at the very beginning of the day but the more the day progresses the busier this place gets so breakfast is a great time to grab a seat a treat and maybe even a cappuccino or a latte or a mimosa you know while you're at it since those are all available as soon as layal opens the france pavilion also has krepsa and porter sorry i can't say that where you can pick up a morning crepe after a ride on remy's ratatouille adventure since right now this location usually opens around 10 a.m still it's a good brunch alternative if lay all is looking a little more crowded as the morning goes on which fyi it will and if you're racing to get onto frozen ever after over in the norway pavilion instead of remy's dark ride then you may want to consider hitting up kringle bakery og cafe for breakfast instead the school bread which is a sweet roll filled with custard and dipped in sweet icing and coconut is a filling not overly sweet option that makes for a rather unique breakfast item but if you want to bang on something a little safer you can find a mickey shaped cinnamon roll most of the time here as well but honestly what you really come here for around breakfast time is that frozen viking coffee if you're 21 or older and you're a-okay with starting your drinking around the world adventure as early as possible in norway then the frozen viking coffee is gonna perk you right up with that bailey's irish cream liqueur and kimora coffee liqueur all topped off with chocolate coffee sauce and chocolate coffee crunch or maybe this will make you sleepier it's probably worth the risk not wanting to kick off the day with booze that's fair you can order the non-alcoholic kristoff cafe instead which is basically the same thing as the frozen viking coffee minus the liqueur alright so we're heading into lunchtime let's say you've got a big group traveling with you and each member of your group wants something different for lunch how do you satisfy the masses well sunshine seasons will be your consistent and reliable rescue for this sunshine seasons is located inside the land pavilion with the other consistent and reliable things in epcot like living with the land and the garden grill restaurant and sauron let's just take a moment to give props to the overseers of the land pavilion who have made it one of the best pavilions in all of epcot for 30 years now okay cool back to sunshine seasons which is set up like a quick service food court much like you'd find over at one of the disney valley resorts but unlike the valley resort food courts there's a lot more variety of sunshine seasons that goes beyond pizzas burgers and chicken tenders though you're gonna find some basic items here too if that's what you're craving you've got oak fired meats asian stir-fry plant-based entrees soups salads and my new personal favorite these giant size of your face pizza rolls that are extremely filling and very very cheesy so the pizza fans in your group are going to be thrilled sunshine seasons also has a selection of seasonal desserts in their bakery case that more often than not i find to be a nice way to wrap up a meal here and to be fair every single time i am in the land pavilion it's the law that i go and check their bakery case because you never know what you're going to find here now of course i love that turtle brownie which is truly an underrated triumph much like its neighbors living with the land and the garden grill restaurant this thing is what dreams are made of even if it doesn't look all that photogenic the layer of caramel in here is an inch thick maybe not exactly an inch but half an inch at least and it's that super heavy almost solid caramel too it's just heaven by the way for the past couple of years they tried to pass off a rando brownie with caramel sauce as the turtle brownie and if that's what you got you did not get the right brownie the real one is back in action now since i just had it last week okay dinner time out of all the international pavilions around the world showcase am i really about to recommend a quick service dinner over at the american adventure pavilion yes so those of you visiting from the past welcome and believe it or not liberty inn has morphed into regal eagle smokehouse and it is not a blight on the face of epcot anymore and nature is healing so many times amusement park bbq offerings turn out dry and mediocre but regal eagle smokehouse has promise that's my way of saying that it has been known to be mediocre but usually it's not how about that for endorsement right off the bat muppet fans are gonna be able to appreciate this fast food joint since it's themed around sam the eagle and his friendly barbecue competition to see which region of the us has the best barbecue to offer and you are the final judge so you're going to see options inspired by barbecue and sauces from missouri and texas and north carolina and tennessee the sides here are also noteworthy i could probably fill up on the mac and cheese alone and also don't forget to ask for a side of the garlic aioli to dip your fries in and though plant-based options are limited here there is a barbecue jackfruit burger that's pretty tasty in case the rest of your group is a bunch of meat-eaters and you wind up being the odd one out but that being said there are so many places to eat in epcot that fall into the quick service category so let's do a little roll call you can grab tacos at la cantina de san and hell in the mexico pavilion but there's no ac just remember that or you can pick up some fish and chips at yorkshire county fish shop in the uk pavilion also no ac or you may even want to grab a quick meal over at the brand new connections cafe if you're looking for more of a spacious and modern coffee shop setting this might be for you plus it's the likely best choice if you have a ton of kids who will only eat chicken tenders like me and the epcot counter service places i'm not gonna really recommend here lotus blossom neck katsura grill neck tangerine cafe non-existent except is a festival booth right now and summerfest is not serving the mac and cheese right now so why now even if you're not feeling in the mood for some barbecue you still don't have to cave and find reservations for a table service restaurant just start exploring the quick service options are plentiful when it comes to epcot's spread of fast food but there is one almighty option that sweeps up the competition and that's the festival booths all of them collectively seriously though if you're going to outcut and you plan on fully taking advantage of all the festival offerings whether it be for festival of the arts flower garden food and wine or festival of the holidays the food booths make up a good chunk of your festival experience they're not too pricey they're sample sized so you can try multiple options at multiple pavilions and they're just flat out fun it's so fun to get with your group order a bunch of different things maybe you never would have thought you'd order them on your own and figure out your favorites plus you get to try options from all around the globe that is fast food and fast world traveling all in one that's why we get so excited when it's time to create the latest festival guides for dfbstore.com right now we've got our 2022 food and wine guide out so if you want to learn more about all the booths including our by far and away favorites we can hook you up epcot might be well known for their variety of food options but where we're going next tends to go under the radar when it comes to solid quick service eats but in reality it has some of the best that's right we're headed to animal kingdom now animal kingdom might not have as many food options as i've caught but it has lots more variety than you may initially think let's talk breakfast if you'd rather fuel up before jumping on a ride first thing in the morning make your way over to the asia section of animal kingdom and grab some breakfast at yak yeti local foods cafe here you're gonna be able to grab a breakfast bowl an english muffin sandwich or even a smallish portion of hash brown bites all for under 13 bucks but let's say your first plan of action is to hit up flight of passage in pandora world of avatar then the pangu pangu quick service might end up being more convenient for you since it's located in pandora as well breakfast at pangu pangu consists of french toast sticks a sausage egg a sausage egg and cheese biscuit sandwich or if you want to try something a little more unique you can pick up the pangolumpia which is a pineapple cream cheese spring roll granted the pongolumpia gets mixed reviews i love it other people on our team hate it but if you're a fan of all things cream cheese filled then this could be a fun alternative to your average breakfast pastry alright lunch time don't come at me but i will be raving about another disney fast food barbecue joint but i will throw in alternative lunch options too so hold on all you non barbecue fans flametree barbecue is located in the discovery island section of animal kingdom and much like regal eagle smokehouse this place is a meat eater's oasis but flametree sets itself apart from regal eagle by also offering a variety of cocktails and rotating seasonal cupcakes looking for a lot of food under 20 bucks order the ribs and chicken combo you'll not only get two hefty portions of different smoked meats but you'll also get those signature baked beans and coleslaw on the side and i'm well aware that my mac and cheese lifestyle sometimes seems like my number one personality trait but that's why i've got to point out flame trees baked macaroni which is topped with pulled pork coleslaw and a crispy onion ring and i wish they would give you a couple extra onion rings because they're really really good onion rings now if you're looking for a smaller and cheaper portion of pulled pork mac and cheese you can always check out the eight spoon cafe kiosk instead where they've got the same type of offering minus the onion ring and slaw for under seven bucks or you can order a pulled pork jelly donut sandwich that's right that's what i said from a spoon cafe if you can't decide on whether to eat something sweet or savory now if you opted to skip out on yak and yeti local foods cafe earlier you may still want to keep it on your radar for lunch since it's got a bunch of different unique options that you can try on the go like the vegetable tikka masala honey sesame chicken and even a hefty portion of chicken fried rice that is really inexpensive just don't forget to grab a mini mango pie for dessert if you're here seriously if you're looking for something sweet and light this fruity little pie might be a better option for you than say yet another cupcake with a whole lot of icing or a thick ice cream sandwich both of which you can get in animal kingdom now it's dinner time and i can't talk about animal kingdom fast food eats without mentioning satuli canteen in pandora because on several occasions i would choose to eat at situli canteen over many of the table service restaurants on disney world property even if the price ranges were the same so there are three big reasons why cetuli becomes the number one disney quick service restaurant in people's hearts reason number one customizable bowls each bowl ranges in price around 13 to 18 lets you pick a protein like beef chicken or shrimp a base like noodles rice and beans lettuce or sweet potato hash and a sauce like one of their vinaigrettes or creamy herb dressing reason number two the desserts though there aren't a whole lot of desserts here the chocolate dome cake and the blueberry cream cheese mousse are light and fluffy and very very pretty but if you're not a moose fan they're probably not for you and reason three cheeseburger pods if you love bow buns but you also love mcdonald's big macs then this is basically the offspring of both and lately our dfb reporters have also been singing the praises of the underrated koosaferi coffee shop and bakery over in the africa section of the park it's serving up breakfast options as well as unique flatbread and vegan spiced potato hand pies however keep in mind that this location closes around 6 pm some days so if you want to try a bite here you'll have to swing by for an earlier dinner or switch out one of your lunch options in favor of this location instead now those of you who are old school like me and remember when koosafiri coffee shop and bakery was like the only place you could get the parks awesome cupcakes and things like that it's no longer like that it's got a different menu now but if your kiddos are getting tired of trying out new in adventures eats an animal kingdom all day long restaurasaurus over in dinolin usa is gonna have a lot of more familiar options that really aren't too shabby like cheeseburgers chicken nuggets plain old macaroni and cheese minus the pulled pork and slaw plus this place has one of my favorite themes in all of disney world in terms of fast food places it is so much fun to go see what all the paleontology students have been doing over at restaurantosaurus all right think i can come up with more fast food eats and fast food eats only for the fourth disney world park of course i can let's find out much like magic kingdom disney's hollywood studios fast food options can be a cluster of mediocrity and we are giving bria the nobel prize in writing for coming up with that term cluster of mediocrity i love it now if you don't know where to look you're going to get burned in hollywood studios but i'm going to pull you all away from the please do not ever eat your restaurants lining the sunset boulevard strip and show you some more adventurous and destination-worthy options around this movie-based park for breakfast before or after a morning ride on slinky dog dash which is of course where you should go first you'll want to head over to woody's lunchbox in toy story land for some breakfast munchies woody's lunchbox serves breakfast bowls made with scrambled eggs and potato barrels which are baked tater tots that are smothered in a white gravy and if that sounds way too heavy before hitting at more thrill rides there's a kids portion of this breakfast bowl too that's actually a few dollars cheaper than the regular portion which you're still totally allowed to order even as an adult woody's lunchbox also has specialty lunchbox tarts which are like a fancy version of a pop-tart chocolate hazelnut and raspberry were the og flavors here but there are also seasonal lunchbox tarts that pop up time and again that you may want to try before they disappear sometimes you'll see lemon blueberries sometimes they'll be apple cinnamon you never really know now if you're over in star wars galaxy's edge at the start of your date then ronto roasters is gonna be a convenient and delicious breakfast stop for you here you're gonna be able to grab a ronto morning wrap made with eggs sausage shredded cheese and peppercorn sauce all folded up in pita bread but again if you'd rather avoid a hearty breakfast before going off to help save the galaxy or join the dark side i don't know i'm not here to judge your lifestyle then you can order the rising moon overnight oats instead these are light creamy and fruity and they include dragon fruit chunks which you don't see offered as often with mixed fruit selections so it's a nice plus if you're dragon fruit fan for lunch we're gonna stay in galaxy's edge for a bit to show off what batu's cooking up over at docking base seven near millennium falcon smugglers run you can eat fast food from a whole other planet though the names of these items might sound otherworldly like batu and beef and chicken tip yep they're not completely unfamiliar options chicken tip yup is basically batu's version of a chicken strip but it's just kind of rectangular well batu in beef is literally smoke braised beef even though these flavors are familiar that doesn't mean you should expect a typical meal from docking base 7. options are still pretty different from your average quick service instead of standard house or caesar salads you've got options like roasted and dorian chicken salad here made with marinated chicken mixed greens shaved onion radishes grape tomato cucumber and a citrus pomegranate vinaigrette with spiced yogurt drizzle like i said not what you'd expect in a theme park and if you find that the options here push you out of your comfort zone a little too far there's always backlot express over an echo lake that you can try instead backlot express's dining room is designed to look like a storage facility and creation space for all things scenery for tv shows and you're gonna be able to dine on more familiar earth eats like cuban sandwiches and bacon cheeseburgers and of course chicken tenders whatever you decide keep in mind that hollywood studios is a happening place especially around lunch so you'll want to use the my disney experience app to place any quick service orders ahead of time if you want to prevent waiting in a super long line for food otherwise you're going to lose the fast out of fast food challenge i'd recommend mobile ordering a later lunch or earlier dinner instead of hitting that lunch rush sweet spot which ranges between 11 30 a.m and 1 p.m all right dinner once upon a time abc commissary over on commissary lane wouldn't have hit my dinner radar not even a little bit but a couple of years back this quick service had a major menu overhaul and now it's got some pretty decent fast food eats instead of your average theme park fried foods you've now got options like shrimp or pork carnitas tacos mediterranean salads and a jazzed up buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich now i know i've been avoiding the sunset boulevard quick service options because they're very bland and basic and that's being nice but i can't talk about a menu overhaul without also talking about the fairfax fair menu updates that happened a little over a year ago fairfax fair introduced a fresh and eclectic assortment of hot dogs back in 2021 and these hot dogs are topped with more than your standard mustard and ketchup you can get hot dogs topped with truffle mac and cheese hot dogs with bacon lettuce tomato and avocado or hot dogs resting all snug inside a soft pretzel bun so if you didn't get your hot dog fix at casey's corner and magic kingdom you definitely have some options to make up for that here is it the best food in hollywood studios no but i'm still going to mention it now all disney world pros know that disney food goes beyond the theme parks and some of the best fast food options on disney world property exist elsewhere so you think epcot has a ton of fast food options just wait until you get to disney springs the disney springs shopping district has so many opportunities to grab food on the go while you're hopping from store to store but i was forced to narrow it down to just a few selections for now though you can explore all the options on the 2022 dfb guide to walt disney world dining which is available for download over at dfbstore.com all right let's start with breakfast if you're headed to disney springs early early to get going on that shopping we are starting our day out strong with a sugar high at everglaze so everglaze is the donut haven of disney world you can find typical donut flavors here as well as some more fun and fancy free options like the peanut butter explosion and the s'mores galore and the maple double bacon but keep in mind that even though these are fast food donuts they're much pricier than the donut options you might find back home so don't expect any dozen for a dozen deals because a dozen donuts here might wind up costing you between 60 and 70 dollars but you definitely don't have to get a dozen you can just get one or two around five to seven dollars each if you're looking for a more substantial breakfast with a little more protein everglaze does offer breakfast sammies and burgers too and let's not leave out the variety of different breakfast drinks you can pick up here which are available all day long they've got coffees they've got cold brews they've got nitro cold brews and they've even got flavored milks that come in a typical strawberry chocolate form or a not so typical fruity pebbles cinnamon toast crunch cereal milk form and if you want a coffee donut combo you can get a specialty coffee blend that comes with a donut topper for 10 to 11 see wasn't kidding when i said sugar high now this wasn't on the original script but i'm gonna sneak in a pitch for the sinful cinnamon pretzel at wetzel's pretzels here too so don't tell bria all right lunch time i honestly couldn't narrow down just one disney springs option for lunch so we're gonna quickly explore three lunch option one earl of sandwich roller sandwich is one of those reliable default restaurants where do you want to go i don't know okay let's go to earl a sandwich this quick service location has hot sandwiches because duh wraps and salads and one of our favorites here is that holiday turkey sandwich made with turkey cornbread stuffing turkey gravy cranberry sauce and mayonnaise cause why shouldn't you be able to eat thanksgiving foods whenever the mood strikes remember when that was just a seasonal sandwich and then they brought it year round and we all celebrated that was awesome okay lunch option number two this is where you're gonna find me chicken guy if you're missing your fried chicken fast food joint back home guy fiati has your back chicken guy serves different fried and grilled chicken entrees but this isn't your average theme park chicken strip basket this is tender juicy white meat chicken can be paired with over 20 different dipping sauces most meals come with your choice of one or two sauces but you can tack on as many additional sauces as you'd like for 50 cents each they also have a killer mac and cheese here and of course that's super melty cheese smc lunch option number 3d lux burger again we're not talking about average hockey puck theme park burgers here these are gourmet burgers burgers with buffalo chicken burgers with crispy bacon burgers with allergy friendly accommodations deluxe burger even has a limited edition menu that allows the restaurant to get even more adventurous with their exclusive burgerfied creations and you can also order both alcoholic and non-alcoholic artisanal shakes here like the bacon bourbon gelato shake the s'mores gelato shake or the orange bird shake with vanilla gelato and orange syrup now for dinner let's wrap up our time in disney springs with a quick and easy dinner at the polite pig that also just so happens to be an award winner now here's the thing this is barbecue again but but but it's different it's a modern take on barbecue classics with a smorgasbord of wood-fired and grilled options the barbecue here was actually recognized by the michelin guide this year as one of the most impressive places to dine not just in disney world but in all of the us which ranks it up there with some really high-end restaurants that cost a whole lot more to experience as you know this place is run by chef royalty james and julie petrakis who also run several other fancy restaurants in orlando now along with options like cedar plank salmon baby back ribs and burnt ends barbecue meatballs you've also got one of if not the best pie on property the buttermilk chess pie it's sweet it's soft it's od it's what dreams are made of and if you're big on bourbon there are over 50 bourbons you can choose from at the built-in bourbon bar but if you're all barbecued out this trip i understand then consider trying one of the disney springs food trucks located on the west side of the shopping district across from shops like star wars galactic outpost and candy cauldron much like a disney food court you got four different unique food trucks to try here ranging from carnitas tacos gourmet mac and cheese plant-based sandwiches and even more hot dogs with a twist but caution the food trucks have odd hours and they switch out so during the weekdays these spots might not open until later in the evening which is why they're a more reliable dinner destination okay that was tough just narrowing down my disney springs fast food options i didn't even talk about daily poutine we did not mention bubble waffles there's so much there that i still want to tell you about so definitely go check out our ranking every restaurants series to hear about other places in disney springs but we really had our work cut out for us with this next section the disney hotels now we're gonna approach the disney hotels a little differently since there are so many hotels in disney world with so many different fast food options we're just gonna list off two for each category but you're more than welcome to drop some of your personal fast food favorites down in the comments to add to the list because you know it always helps our viewers to see your recommendations too you've been to disney world you're experts let them know in the comments what your favorites are as well okay for breakfast first thing we're going to talk about is captain cooks at disney's polynesian village resort a breakfast on a tropical island sounds pretty nice right and captain cooks has the standard breakfast fare like mickey waffles and breakfast burritos but they've also got some different options you might want to try too one of the most important is the tonga toast which is a deep fried banana stuffed thick thick thick bread rolled in cinnamon sugar and this breakfast offering is available at a few different restaurants around the resort but the cheapest version you're gonna find is it captain cooks it'll run you a little over 10 bucks which is a deal my friends also over at disney's wilderness lodge what type of breakfast offerings are we gonna find in the great outdoors at roaring fork well brewing fork branches out from the typical breakfast offerings with options like banana foster's french toast which is a similar option to the tonga toast at polynesian village but this version is made with brioche bread instead of sour dough and is also made with a cinnamon egg custard and the bananas are outside not inside and roaring fork also has chicken and mickey shaped waffles with pecan butter that you can order all day long because that's amazing next it is time for lunch and we are gonna head to the mara at disney's animal kingdom lodge animal kingdom lodge is just a good place to find good eats period so of course i had to add them into our fast food lineup the maro's got a mix of both african inspired and american entrees so you can order something a little more adventurous from your usual fast food choices like a marrakesh falafel platter for instance or you can get a good old reliable cheeseburger that is up to you the desserts here are superb as well you can pick up a four count of the chocolatey zebra domes with a chocolate center and vanilla buttercream shell from the grab-and-go section or you can get my favorite nyla brownie which has a thick and creamy peanut butter frosting that i'd be happy to add to any of my desserts from here on out fun fact that brownie is named after a spiral horned antelope and definitely not after simba's love interest in the lion king film franchise not that i'd ever confuse the two because that would be outrageous now of course i'm going to mention gasparilla island grill at disney's grand floridian resort and spot next gasparilla can get easily overlooked because grand floridian is all bougie and some people don't even want to go over there thinking stuffing foot in that place is going to cost them 100 bucks gasparilla serves interesting takes on common quick service offerings they got sandwiches salads burgers pizzas chicken tenders but there are two big reasons you're gonna want to check this place out for lunch if you're in the area first the setting you'll have some great views of the lake and cinderella castle and the second that ooey gooey chef specialty macaroni and cheese seriously just bury me in that stuff now it is dinner time sassagoola floatworks and food factory at disney's port orleans french quarter are you ready i know you thought we were going here for breakfast we aren't we're going here for dinner how about capping off the evening with some cajun classics sassagula float works on food factory is a mardi gras themed food court with new orleans specialties like jambalaya you know my favorite is wet rice shrimp and grits and gumbo but like any good food court selection you've got the safe bets here too burgers and chicken tenders for those looking for comfort classics by the way if you're looking for beignets for dessert you're gonna need to swing by the scat cats club cafe which is just right next door don't forget in the evening you can also get those boozy beignets too now three bridges bar and grill at disney's coronado springs resort is next and hold up isn't three bridges bar and grill a sit-down meal yes let me explain why i'm cheating there are a handful of disney resort table service restaurants that have mobile order capabilities on the my disney experience app they're gonna be mixed in with all the other quick service offerings but if you see to go next to the name of the restaurant just assume that it's normally a sit-down place now if you have time i'd recommend trying three bridges as a sit-down meal before you jump into the to-go offerings you can just get appetizers and leaves no big deal and the restaurant sits over the lake and is absolutely gorgeous to look out across when the sun's starting to set but if you'd rather get the food to take back to your room you'll just order it like you would any other quick service mobile order on your my disney experience account but what can you get here well upscale spanish-inspired bar food like tacos poke bowls churros and an amazing warm and chango cheese dip now before we wrap up i think you've earned yourself two more super speedy bonus tips number one don't forget that you can get this entire fast
