6. Flame Tree Barbecue You’ll smell Flame Tree Barbecue before you see it! The unmistakable aroma of this quick-service restaurant fills the air on Discovery Island in Animal Kingdom. For around $16 your can get a chicken and rib combo plate with sides of beans, coleslaw, and jalapeño cornbread. Many of the meals here are large enough to share, which ...

7. Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie It should come as no surprise that Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie is located in the France Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. This quick-service location is a little bit difficult to find, tucked into one side of the gift shop at the exit of “Impressions de France.” In addition to soups, salads, quiche, and sandwiches, you’ll find an ...

8. ABC Commissary Located in Hollywood Studios, the ABC Commissary serves delicious salads, sandwiches, and even steak in a lovely art deco setting. Unlike many quick-service locations, the lunch and dinner menus here are different. Lunch is primarily salads and sandwiches, while dinner includes steak and lemon pepper salmon. I especially like that the kids’ menu offers salmon and chicken ...

9. Harambe Marketplace If you’re hoping to sample some incredible African food, check out Harambe Marketplace located in the Africa section of Animal Kingdom.

1. Sunscreen Even in the winter months, the Florida sun is intense. Epcot is a big park with not as much shade cover as some of the others, so sunscreen is a must. Don’t forget that it’s still possible to get sunburned on a cloudy day! Nothing ruins your vacation like a miserable sunburn, so be sure to apply sunscreen ...

2. Wheelchair or ECV Epcot is a huge park, incredibly spread out with miles of walkways. If anyone in your group has limited mobility, it’s best to get a wheelchair or an ECV (electric convenience vehicle or scooter) to make their trip easier. Scooters and wheelchairs can be rented at the entrance to the park, but you can save some ...

3. Stroller Along the same lines as the ECV, young children may get tired walking around the huge park. Bringing a stroller can save a lot of whining, or having to carry a tired child around. My children are five years old and we still use a stroller for Epcot.  If you don’t want to bring one from home, strollers ...
