10 Totally Affordable Restaurants In Disney Parks

10. Yorkshire County Fish Shop Another great deal in the World Showcase at Epcot is the Yorkshire County Fish Shop, located in the United Kingdom Pavilion. The menu is extremely limited: fish and chips, beer, Victoria sponge cake, fruit, and soft drinks make up the entire list of choices. But for only $10.99 you can have a heaping basket of delicious beer-battered fish and fries. There is no child

1. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Café This Tex-Mex restaurant is located in Frontierland in Magic Kingdom. This is my family’s favorite Magic Kingdom eatery. The quick-service restaurant has plenty of indoor (that means air-conditioned) seating and the line moves quickly. The most expensive entree is only $15.99. To save even more, consider sharing an entrée; the Fajita Platter is a huge meal and can

2. Sunshine Seasons Café Located in The Land pavilion in Epcot, Sunshine Seasons Café will have something for everyone. While this is a quick-service location, the offerings include real entrées such as grilled salmon and Mongolian beef. There are fantastic options for kids’ meals that go way beyond PB&J (though it’s still available if you have a picky eater). There are a wide variety of drink and

3. Backlot Express This Hollywood Studios quick-service restaurant is themed as the backstage area of a movie set, but much of the food pays homage to a little movie series set in a galaxy far, far away. Enjoy some Dark Side Chicken and Waffles or a Royal Guard Burger (served on a black bun!). The caprese sandwich and the Galactic Chicken Salad are delicious lighter options. There are choices for

4. The Plaza While most of the less expensive restaurants at Walt Disney World are quick service, the Plaza is a table-service restaurant with reasonable prices. You can’t beat the location of The Plaza, right on Main Street USA near Cinderella’s Castle in Magic Kingdom. Enjoy classic salads and sandwiches, and be sure to save room for the yummy desserts! It’s nice to take a seat and have food bro

4. Longer Hours If you visit near the holidays you may actually be cutting your park time short. Unless you plan to purchase an additional ticket for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, you will be required to leave Magic Kingdom hours before the normal closing time in order to accommodate Christmas party guests. In January, regular operating hours resume for the main parks. The only downside: wa

5. Less Expensive Food The rumors are true! Disney does adjust food prices based again on expected park capacity. During the Christmas season, you will pay up to $4 more per person at buffets, and some counter service prices are adjusted as well. (I saw it firsthand at one of our favorites, La Cantina de San Angel, in mid December.) After the holidays, prices return to the lower version.

6. Resort Values Food and park tickets aren’t the only thing you’ll save on after the holidays. Resort rates are at an all-time low for many of the weeks in January. With the exception of MLK weekend, Marathon weekend, and of course New Years (basically still the holidays) you won’t find on-property rooms any cheaper. For example, at Caribbean Beach, you can get a room in January for around $187 w

7. Exercise I can’t think of a better way to work off all the Christmas goodies than to spend a few days exploring Disney parks. Some experts estimate that on a full park day, the average person walks around 14 miles. That’s a legit workout if you ask me! And runners can challenge themselves to the ever popular Disney Marathon, Half Marathon, or Goofy Run (though of course the savings mentioned ab

8. Spending Money Sure you’ve got credit card bills to pay after Christmas…but if you’re a Disney Visa Card member that also means you should have some pretty sweet reward dollars built up. Plus, didn’t Great Aunt Gertrude slide that $20 into your Christmas card? An after-holiday Disney visit could be the perfect way to spend those cash gifts.   Make it your resolution to visit Disney World after
