Eating in one of Walt Disney World’s four theme parks can be tough. Table Service restaurants tend to be expensive and time consuming. If you are on a tight budget, or not willing to give up about an hour of your time in the park, then your other option is Quick Service. Quick Service is Disney’s term for restaurants that are less time consuming, or fast food. These restaurants tend to have a counter you walk up to and order from. Some taste better than others, but all of them tend to have mostly good food. So, here are the best Quick Service restaurants in Walt Disney World’s theme parks:
