The Cheapest Fast Food Restaurant in Every Disney World Park

There are literally hundreds of restaurants inside Disney World, ranging from snack stands to luxurious, Michelin-starred restaurants. How do you know where you can go to avoid breaking the bank on your next trip?

New items at Backlot Express

We’ve analyzed the menu of EVERY quick service restaurant in the Disney World theme parks to figure out which ones are the CHEAPEST in each park. If you’re planning a budget-friendly vacation, this is the guide for you!

A couple of quick caveats before we begin…

First, we only looked at quick service restaurants. We left out the table service restaurants (which will almost always be more expensive than the cheap service options) and snack stands.

Menu

We defined a snack stand as anywhere where you CAN’T get a full meal. If the stand or kiosk didn’t sell full entrées, it didn’t make the list. Note that we do sometimes love snacking around the parks instead of eating full meals, so it’s always an option to just grab a few different snacks and make those into your lunch!

We also only looked at quick service restaurants inside the theme parks. There are lots more options at the Disney World hotels and in Disney Springs! If y’all like this post and want us to do the same thing for the hotels and Springs, let us know in the comments.

Now that you know the rules, let’s get into the cheapest quick service restaurants in every single Disney World park.

Magic Kingdom

Pinocchio Village Haus

Pinocchio Village Haus is our winner for the cheapest quick service in Magic Kingdom! Entrées at this spot range from $9.79 to $12.79.

Most of the entrées are $12.79, including all the flatbreads. There are a few different flatbread flavors here, like the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread and the Pepperoni Flatbread.

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread

The cheapest entrée is the Caesar Salad. You can add chicken to it, which brings the price up to $11.79, and you can also grab Chicken Strips for $10.99.

Runner-Up: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café

The next cheapest option at Magic Kingdom is Cosmic Ray’s! Entrées range from $9.99 to $13.49.

Dockside Diner restaurant

At Dockside Diner, the menu has a few different kinds of hot dogs and Bacon Macaroni and Cheese. If you just can’t decide between those two options, grab the Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Hot Dog!

Bacon Mac & Cheese Hot Dog

A plain hot dog and the mac ‘n’ cheese each cost a little over $10, and the two specialty hot dogs each cost $12.79.

Runner-Up: Woody’s Lunch Box

If you’re not in the mood for hot dogs, head over to Woody’s Lunch Box, which also has plenty of cheap meal options.

Woody’s Lunch Box

The Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich is just $10.29 (pro-tip: get it with a side of Tomato-Basil Soup for an extra $3.99), and one of our FAVORITE lunches in all of the park — the Totchos — is $10.49.

We also like the BBQ Brisket Melt, but that’s a bit more expensive at $13.29.

EPCOT

Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie

Despite the fact that Les Halles has the cheapest lunch option in EPCOT, we always end up spending way too much there because everything looks SO. GOOD.

Les Halles

However, if you go in with a budget, you can get some really tasty options that definitely won’t break the bank. We love the Bisque de Homard, which is just $6.95, for lunch!

Bisque de Homard

Other great lunch options include the Croissant Jambon Fromage for $8.95 and the Quiche Lorraine for $7.95.

Quiche Lorraine

Don’t forget to grab dessert!

Overall, entrées here range from about $6.95 to $10.95, making it the cheapest quick service meal in ANY Disney World theme park.

Sunshine Seasons in The Land pavilion is another great choice for a cheap meal.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Smiling Crocodile

We went back and forth on whether to include this stand in the list because it’s a snack stand but it has some pretty hearty options. In the end, we decided to include it but give you TWO runner-up options.

Smiling Crocodile

Smiling Crocodile has a few different kinds of tacos! Grab the Pulled Pork Street Tacos, Chicken Street Tacos, or the Street Corn Tacos.

TACOS!

All come with a side of chips and salsa, which kicks these up from a snack to more of a meal.

TACOS for days!

Each taco dish costs $9.99, or you can get just a side of chips and salsa on its own for $4.99.

Runners-Up: Pizzafari and Restaurantosaurus

Pizzafari is the next cheapest option, with several entrée options under $12.

Pizzafari

There’s a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich for $11.99, a Cheese Pizza for $11.29, or a Caesar Salad with Chicken for $11.99.

Chicken Parmesan Sandwich

The pizza here isn’t our favorite (there are more interesting, unique eats in Animal Kingdom), but it’s a cute restaurant with very familiar, approachable menu items.

The whole spread!

The next runner-up is Restaurantosaurus in DinoLand U.S.A.

Restaurantosaurus in Animal Kingdom

Restaurantosaurus has pretty classic theme park food — think hot dogs, burgers, chicken nuggets, etc. There’s a Cobb Salad on the menu, too, if you want a healthier option!
