What are the best quick service meals at Disney World? With so many dining options at Disney to choose, from it can feel overwhelming. Today we are sharing our picks for the best quick service at Disney World.
When planning your Disney World itinerary where to eat is usually at the top of the list. There are so many options to choose from and Disney offers more than your typical theme park fare.
In this article we are going to share Disney World’s quick-service restaurants that we love.
What is a quick service restaurant at Disney World? A quick service restaurant is a counter service restaurant where guests walk up, order food, and find a table. It is fast food like a food court but much better food!
If you would like to sit down to order and dine, you should make reservations at one of the table service restaurants at Disney World.
What to Know About Quick Service at the Walt Disney World Resort
There are quick service dining options at all of the Disney World theme parks, the Disney on-site hotels, and Disney Springs. Guests can order ahead by using Mobile Ordering or order when they arrive at the counter.
Mobile Ordering is a way for guests to place their order on the My Disney Experience app and upon arrival check-in. It save time waiting in long lines at the restaurant.
It is the best option if you want to minimize waiting in line for food.
We usually order from our resort or in the queue at the attraction before our planned dining time. I share more details in this article: How to Use Disney Mobile Ordering on Your Disney World Vacation.
Once we arrive at the quick service location I find a seat and my husband picks up our food. It is a good system and we really like using this feature.
Be sure to check the menus items of the quick service restaurant before you arrive to make sure they have something you like.
Restaurants offer different options, even for the kids menus. If your child will only eat hot dogs, be sure to check that the quick-service location has hot dogs on the menu.
Some locations do not accept Mobile Ordering, most do, but be sure to check when you are planning your visit. I will note it below as well.

Quick Service at Disney Springs
I have to mention two of our favorite quick service spots at Disney Springs. They are Chicken Guy and Earl of Sandwich. Both are great options for when you don’t want to spend a lot of time at a sit-down restaurant but still want good food.
There really is something for everyone when looking for quick service meals at Disney World. Some of the restaurants we prefer over the table service options because the food is good and fast, allowing more time in the parks.
