Best Disney World Quick Service Restaurants

One of the many wonderful things you can look forward too with your Disney World Vacation is great food. There is something to please everyone from foodies with fine palates to the pickiest of eaters.

One of the most popular dining options for families is quick service dining. There are close to 100 quick service dining spots to be found in Walt Disney World.  Park visitors can stop by any of these dining venues and purchase something delicious to eat.  Families who are staying in the park at a Walt Disney World resort can elect to purchase a Disney Dining Plan as part of their vacation package. We HIGHLY recommend this option so that you are free to enjoy all the wonderful food Disney has to offer.

When most people thing of quick service dining, they think of fast food. When it comes to Disney, think of great food done fast. Simply place an order at the counter for your family and it will be served up to you cafeteria style on a tray in short order. When you're finished, clear your table and it's off to more fun in the parks.

If you choose a quick service dining plan we promise you won't be stuck eating chicken nuggets and hot dogs for your entire vacation (unless you want to).  Disney Quick Service restaurants offer a wide variety of fun, fresh and healthy choices to please every palate. Chefs will even cater to those folks with food sensativities or special dietary needs.

If you're a returning Disney World guest, no doubt you have your favorite quick service spots. If it's been a while or if you're a Disney newbie, here are a few of our Vacationkids staff favorites.
