Quick Service...

Again, as I said before "you've got to eat..." I am adding to the previous post about the Dining Dilemma and exploring favorite Quick Service restaurants. A brief explanation or description about quick service versus table service. Quick Service is a lot like fast food, you order at a counter and wait for your food at the counter. Table Service is (as stated in previous post) a sit down and/or buffet type restaurant. Quick Service meals are less expensive although the quality in many of them is top notch. A Quick Service meal is usually sub $15 (which for WDW is less expensive).

As in the last post I asked for help in gathering the information. Here are my favorite Quick Service areas in WDW. Casey's Corner (Magic Kingdom): at the end of Main Street USA overlooking the castle is this old-time baseball themed place that specializes in hot-dogs. Be Our Guest (Magic Kingdom): in Fantasyland there is a restaurant that for breakfast and lunch is a quick service while for dinner it is one of the hardest to get table service reservations in all of WDW. I must admit for dinner I feel it is overrated but the breakfast is really good and efficient and with an early breakfast reservation it allows you unencumbered time in the park before other guests (without reservations) entrance into the Magic Kingdom. Flame Tree BBQ (Animal Kingdom): near Dinoland this restaurant serves up delicious BBQ whether you like pulled pork, chicken, or beef plus it has good salads (although the attraction is the BBQ). Electric Umbrella (EPCOT): soon after you pass Spaceship Earth and head to the left across from Mouse Works is this gem which has one of the best salads, it rivals Chick Fil-a's Market Salad IN MY OPINION. Earl of Sandwich (Disney Springs): a stones throw from World of Disney is this sandwich shop which makes sub type sandwiches. I must also state that one of my other favorites (which I cannot eat at anymore due to my low carb diet) is the Yorkshire County Fish Market (EPCOT): in the United Kingdom near the bridge taking you into France is a place to grab the best fish and chips I have ever had.

My wife likes Be Our Guest, Electric Umbrella and Yorkshire also she is not a fan of Casey's as much as I am. She likes the Yak and Yeti Quick Service (Animal Kingdom). My daughter likes Electric Umbrella actually she reminded me of the name when I was going through the research process. Other additions include Pecos Bill (Magic Kingdom) and Columbia Harbor House (Magic Kingdom). To be honest with you I feel that the Quick Service options in MK outweigh the table service options. Cosmic Rays, Gaston's Tavern, and Pinocchio Village Haus are others mentioned by some of my Facebook friends in just the Magic Kingdom alone.

If you ever get the opportunity to visit WDW in the fall don't overlook the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival because there are plenty of quick service opportunities to taste cultural treats. Also, I must say that there are numerous snack options throughout the parks and resorts which deserve some attention also. I might have to plan a snack post in the future?

To end this post I will include a link to the Disney World dining site. WALT DISNEY WORLD DINING  ... One thing is always certain, once you go to WDW you will want to go back if not for the attractions it just might be for the food. As I am in the planning stage of my next adventure at WDW I just might have to update the last two posts. Here is a wish for you to be able to experience a "magical" day or more at Walt Disney World sooner rather than later and remember "You've gotta eat!"

I might add a SNACK post...
