When you’re visiting Walt Disney World, one of the best parts is the dining! Throughout WDW, you’ll find amazing, delicious dining options that are some of the best in the world. One of the best parts is that no matter your budget, you’ll be able to find wonderful meals and treats. For those visiting Walt Disney World on a budget, there are so many great places to eat across property. Pink and Pixie Dust is here to help with our guide to budget friendly dining at Walt Disney World!
At Walt Disney World, restaurants are classified into different categories, such as quickservice dining and table service dining. For budget-friendly options, the best category of dining to choose from are those that are quickservice dining. These are restaurants which don’t require a reservation and are generally quicker. At these restaurants you order from a counter and then you either pick up your meal when its ready from the counter or its delivered to your table. Quickservice dining locations are the most budget-friendly options at WDW, with the majority of meal options costing $15-20 or less.
If you are individual who does not need a large portion, kids meals at quickservice restaurants are great options as well! At quickservice dining locations, anyone can order a kids meal, even adults! These meals offer small portions, making them perfect for those with a lighter appetite.
There are also many other delicious, budget-friendly dining options across property. Throughout the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs, you can find plenty of great snacks at an affordable cost. Another option are the festival booths at Epcot. These are small booths offered throughout Epcot during festivals hosted at Epcot throughout the year. Food booths can be found during the International Food and Wine Festival, Festival of the Arts, the Flower and Garden Festival, and the Festival of the Holidays. At each of these booths you can find dishes inspired by different parts of the world or certain themes. These dishes are typically lower in cost, making them very budget-friendly. Having smaller portion sizes, it’s a great way to be able to try multiple items. Many of these items are also enough for some for a full meal!
