Best Non-Park Quick Service Place?

[DancinMama]

Best non-park Quick Service place to eat? We were planning to go to the Boardwalk Bakery like we did 2 years ago but the Lobster Roll is gone so now we need a new fun place. We don’t have park tickets for the day we need this so it has to be something you can get to without. Suggestions?

Lots of places in Disney Springs...Wolfgang Puck Express is our favorite there. Earl of Sandwich as well.

As for resorts...The Mara @ AKL and Captain Cook's @ Poly.

My two favorites are Earl of Sandwich or Wolfgang Puck Express.

The Polite Pig or Blaze Pizza in DS.

Has anyone done Beaches Pool Bar and Grill at the Grand Floridian? You can go there even if you’re not a guest right?

Captain Cook's at the Poly.

I'll add another vote for Earl of Sandwich at Disney Springs. We only planned to try it once, but ended up going back a second time because it was so good. It's also a fairly inexpensive option (sandwiches for $8 or less), and there are fruit and veggie sides if you want to tack on something a bit healthier. The line to order can be long around lunchtime, but moves pretty quickly. With a line out the door one day, I'd say we still probably had our sandwiches within 10-15 minutes (you can pick up sides right away and start with those while waiting for your sandwiches if you'd like).

Wolfgang Puck Express at Disney Springs is amazing.

I like Earl of Sandwich at Disney Springs, as well as Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary Resort.

Blaze pizza is amazing!! And I heartily second Wolfgang Puck and Earl of Sandwich. Actually I could eat every meal at DS and be VERY happy (and full!)

We like going to Poly, eating at Captain Cook’s and then getting a dole whip at the Pineapple lanai.

100% agreement. We even went to Earl of Sandwich for sandwiches for breakfast in Vegas just because that was the only time of day we could fit it in.

We love to get sandwiches to take to MCO for a quick meal before heading through security. Love the courtyard just very outside of TSA, so pretty!

The Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness are fun places to visit on non-park days. We always enjoyed the food we got at Roaring Forks, and the new pool bar place sounds decent.

If you have young children, you can take a boat to FW and visit the petting zoo and do a pony ride. Take a boat or bus to the Lodge and eat at one of QS I mentioned above.

In addition to the MK boat, there is a boat that runs directly between the Contemporary Resort and the Lodge. The Contempo Cafe is supposed to be quite good.

Roaring Forks is usually not busy, recently added an outdoor patio and the chicken sandwiches we had were incredible (~$11).

I love Captain Cooks at the Poly - we really like the pulled pork nachos and thai coconut meatballs. Nice change from "typical" counter service stuff. Last trip, we ate there and then rented a sea raycer - it was a fun, non park activity and the two are pretty close together.

We have an EOS down the street and I don't get the hype but I know sometimes it's nice to just have a sandwich and chips after eating out for days on end. We do like Wolfgang Puck Express!

 

[pooch]

Because you have one right down the street!

We ended up getting to the hotel later than we planned so we ate at the Pop Century Resort Food Court and went swimming because DD has been begging to go since we left MN 3 days ago! Thanks for all the advice though. We love Earl of Sandwich too! We had it on another Disney trip years ago!

QS joint at POFQ has cheesy Shrimp and grits. Yum.

I'm curious about Mara-is this indoors or outdoors?

Indoors, but to get to it you go outside and walk along a (short, covered) walkway.
