Eating is one of the biggest and fastest drains on your wallet when you’re on vacation at Disney. People have to eat, and Disney makes the most of that knowledge by offering restaurants on almost every corner, and most at pretty steep prices. However, it is possible to find several places within Disney to eat cheaply with a little digging.
Magic Kingdom
— Main Street Bake Shop has the best options for a breakfast bite. They offer baked goods in the $2-$3 price range, as well as a breakfast quiche or cottage cheese with fruit for about $4. You can also have sandwiches at lunch time for a decent price.
— Columbian Harbor House has vegetarian chili and clam chowder. You can get a bowl of soup for about $5 there. They also offer trans fat-free foods like chicken nuggets and fried fish, as well as salads and sandwiches.
— You can also dine at Cosmic Ray’s and get rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes and vegetables for around $9. They also have wraps and sandwiches, salads, BBQ ribs, hamburgers and hot dogs among other things. Lunch and dinner only, but entertainment with the animatronic band of aliens.
animal Kingdom
— Kusifiri Coffee Shop And Bakery is your best bet for breakfast kitchen. Yogurt and fruit cups are $2-3, and muffins and sweet rolls are $3-4.
— For kids, Pizzafari is a favorite, offering reasonable food options like pizza, chicken sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, and even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
— Anadupur Local Food Cafe also offers egg rolls and fried rice for less than $4, so if you like oriental food, this would be the place for you.
Epcot World Center
— Electric Umbrella Restaurant is the place to go inside Epcot if you’re looking for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It serves breakfast burritos in the morning, French toast and cereal, and bagel sandwiches. After 11 am, lunch and dinner are served in the form of chicken tenders, wraps, and burgers.
— If you’re in the mood for Japanese-style food, you can’t go wrong at Yakitori House. It’s affordable and offers chicken and beef skewers, vegetables and rice, and my personal favourite, sushi!
hollywood studios
— Hollywood Studios has plenty of affordable places to eat, but the one where you can find breakfast, lunch, and dinner all rolled into one is ABC Commissary. Think typical fast food and that’s what you’ll be eating. Breakfast consists of oatmeal muffins, fruit and egg and cheese. Lunch consists of things like cheeseburgers and fries, wraps, chicken nuggets, and other typical American foods.
— If that’s not your thing, you can visit Studio’s Catering Co. Flatbread Grill. For meals under $7, you can’t beat it. Order grilled chicken or pulled pork, Greek salads and chicken wraps. Anything your taste buds like will appeal to you.
There you have it. 10 of some of the least expensive places to eat inside Walt Disney World. There are plenty of other affordable places, of course, and then the many not-so-affordable ones. But this should be a great starting point so no one starves on their big outing!
