If you are using the Disney Dining Plan, finding some excellent food to use your credits on can take some work. Here are several options that offer the best variety and quality to use your dining service credits on. Families not using the Dining Plan can also take advantage of the large portions available at these selections to split meals, offering some savings. The large portions also offer people on the dining plan the option of splitting a lunch and saving a QS credit for a breakfast - perhaps some Tonga Toast?
1. Be Our Guest, Magic Kingdom
This hard to get dinner spot is open for a Quick Service lunch, best obtained by reserving a fast pass for the meal. If you are staying at a Disney resort, they will email you an invitation approximately 28 days prior to your arrival, providing the link to the fast pass reservation site. This fast pass does NOT count towards your ride/attraction fast passes, so you can still make three selections for the day of your lunch, plus the Be Our Guest selection. When you select your fast pass, you’ll have the option of reserving a table or selecting your meals. Don’t worry, if you make a selection and change your mind, you can modify when you arrive. There are three dining rooms open for lunch, the main ball room and two smaller rooms (including the Rose Room) on either side of the main room. Drinks are self-serve, the rest of your meal will be magically delivered to your table! Great respite from the heat, wonderful not to have to stand in a long line then carry a heavy tray to your table, and the food is fantastic. Make sure you try a Grey Stuff cupcake!
2. Boardwalk Bakery, The Boardwalk Resort area
An easy boat ride from Hollywood Studios, and boat ride or walk from Epcot, the Boardwalk Bakery is newly renovated and offers a huge bang for your QS buck. Selections include sandwiches (including a lobster roll), salads and soups, and a QS meal comes with your choice of side item, drink and bakery item. The bakery items alone are drool-worthy, from the enormous cupcakes to the Peanut Butter Banana and Candied Bacon Pie. There is no seating inside the Bakery, but there are plenty of tables out on the Boardwalk to sit and enjoy your meal, or you could take it back to your resort pool and enjoy, since it’s all packaged neatly into boxes and then bagged, so easy to transport to your resort. Fantastic option for lunch or dinner, and they are also open for breakfast, where you could use a snack or QS credit depending on your appetite.
3. Flame Tree BBQ, Animal Kingdom
Often touted as the best Barbeque on Disney property, the Flame Tree BBQ offers large lunch or dinner portions and a wide menu selection for everyone in your party. You can find everything from a large order of ribs to a fruit plate with yogurt – or have the infamous turkey leg as a QS meal! Kids menu selections are slightly varied from other kids menus, offering a great change for the younger members of your party. It does have outdoor seating, but it’s covered and the fans are on, providing some relief from the heat.
