Best lower-priced TS restaurants

[Ashley Marie]

I think the title says it all. What are your current favorites, and why?

Two adults and two young children. I'm trying to keep the budget low for food on this trip (it's kind of a last-minute thing). But it will be early September and we'll need breaks from the heat, so I'm making sure we have some table service meals.

We are staying at the GF villas and spending the most time at MK, but will visit each of the other parks once.

What's your favorite quick-service with indoor seating?

In the past, I've enjoyed the Grand Floridian Cafe, Beaches & Cream and the Plaza for lower-priced TS meals. Any other suggestions?

Grand Floridian Cafe is great, and I always recommend Kona Cafe (Polynesian) and The Wave (Contemporary) in the same vein.

We also like La Hacienda de San Angel (Epcot), as it's not always too busy and on the lower end of the price scale.

For QS with indoor seating, I like Columbia Harbor House (MK) and Blaze Pizza (Disney Springs).

Big River Brewing (BW)
Sci Fi (HS)
House of Blues (DS)
Whispering Canyon (WL)
Liberty Tree Tavern lunch (MK)
Via Napoli (Epcot)

The plaza restaurant at mk is very good and reasonable

I've been looking at food menus and this is what I've found as "cheaper"

LTT for lunch
Trails End buffet (I think they only have breakfast and dinner)
Kona Cafe
Sci Fi
WCC

The Wave has cheaper options too. Most sit-downs will usually have a salad with protein that will be cheaper than the $40 steak.

I have to mention Satu'li canteen in AK, it is QS, but has indoor/air conditioned seating and great food.

We like Tony's Town Square for (relatively) inexpensive TS -- most of the options are in the low 20s, which isn't super cheap, but is on the lower end for WDW table service.

Roaring Forks at WL is a really good indoor-seating quick service.

AGREE AGREE AGREE!!!!

sharing a pizza at Via Napoli

Yes, pizza(s) and soda can be cheaper than burgers and soda at the Plaza for us.
The $39 1/2 meter “Mezzo Metro” Margherita Pizza is very yummy with fresh mozzarella and imported tomato sauce, and split among a family is cheaper than most QS options.

A $39 pizza...what a bargain!

Thanks for all the ideas so far!

We haven’t tried Via Napoli, although we are from New York and a little spoiled when it comes to pizza.

I should mention we won’t be going to Disney Springs at all.

TS: The Wave, Sci Fi, Skipper Canteen, LTT, Whispering Canyon. Haven't tried it yet, but the new menu at Diamond Horseshoe looks good to me.
QS: Satuli Canteen, Contempo Cafe, Sunshine Seasons.

(BTW, I am not a fan of the pizza at Via Napoli.)

One of my favorite quick service restaurants is Sunshine Seasons. Indoor seating, reasonable prices, and lots of choices. Good food, too!

Olivia's at Old Key West is a bit less expensive than some of the others. Check their menus on line .

I went to Via Napoli and few years ago and always was underwhelmed by the pizza. It certainly wasn't bad (and I'm not from New York) but nothing special. Here in Virginia, we don't get good pizza either, although the thin-crust/flatbread style restaurants are popping up, but I still didn't think much of this place.

 

[Mome Rath]

Via Napoli is Naples-style pizza, it doesn't resemble Chicago-style or NY-style. We love it!

Another vote for Liberty Tree Tavern at lunch, Sci Fi & Grand Floridian Cafe. Also 9 Dragons at Epcot if you like Chinese food.
