Quick Service dining at Disney World can be great because it’s faster, doesn’t require reservations (for the most part), and it’s easy to split entrees. However, you’ll want to pick the top Quick Service restaurants at Disney World to make the most of your dining experiences.
Here’s some Quick Service info to help you find the best options for your trip…
About Quick Service dining
Although there are upsides to Quick Service dining, be aware that there are no characters at the meals, there can be long lines since reservations aren’t allowed (except for Be Our Guest breakfast and lunch where reservations are allowed), and the food can get repetitive at many of them. Be sure to show up at off-peak times (like 11:00 for lunch) and pick locations with varied menus to help avoid some of those issues.
If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, be sure to check out the best Quick Service Disney Dining Plan values to make sure you’re maximizing your credits.

I'm really surprised you don't have Peco Bill's Tall Tale Saloon on the Magic Kingdom list. That is our go-to for a quick-service lunch when in MK. Its generally a good value for the dining plan credits and the condiment bar is amazing!

Glad you mentioned that. I know a lot of people love it, but I don't.

Can a child who's actually using an adult dining plan,order off children's menus? Or is it best to pay for her meal and keep her entitlement? Our eldest daughter will be 11 when we go and I think some restaurants for sit down will not suit her.

Our children are ages 9 and 10, we are going to Disney in January 2016, we are planning to lie about their ages, so they can both be classified as adults in the meal plan. It's crazy that you would pay the same price for children 9yrs and younger! All these postings are helpful in my research - so much to know before going to maximize our valuable time there! Can't wait!!!!

We just came back a few weeks ago and hands down the best counter service we've had at WDW (this was our 5th trip) was at Starring Rolls at Hollywood Studios. There's not a large variety at ALL. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's just pre-made sushi platters, and ham and turkey sandwiches. But I had the turkey and the daughter had the ham and they both were some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Not only that, but this is the home to the infamous Butterfinger cupcake, which you can get as the dessert with the dining plan.
I've eaten at all of the above, excepting Columbia Harbor, and while the rest are good choices, I still say Starring Rolls beat them all.

im surprised no one said bongo Cuban cafe express! Absolutely amazing Cuban sandwich and the kids "chicken bites" we're real and they loved them. The portions of the adults and kids were huge and at $10 for adults and$8 for kids a family of 4 could share lunch and eat for $20. This is located at Disney springs next to Wolfgang puck express.
