Closest Place To Soarin For Finger Foods?

[Tia1977]

We had a super sleep in lazy day planned for Epcot on 6/6 to arrive late afternoon sans park bag for Soarin FP, WS to Pick A Pearl (while I sip a martini slush), boat to Yachtsman for a yummy 5:20 ADR, boat back fat & happy for Illuminations & EMH. Plan was to bring resort CS back to room to eat a light lunch while getting ready to leave to tide us over (but save room for STEAK later lol).

"We" (DH, gotta appease the man facilitating my obsession ) decided "we'd" rather secure an upfront Illuminations FP instead bc "we" don't like leaving it up to chance for an awesome show experience after dinner (last AP trip, taking next year off). I'm 100% sure DD will be super disappointed if we make her wait for Soarin until EMH. So, we're now getting there in time to plan on the hour+ standby line (ONLY que we're OK to wait that long in bc of the inside comfy conditions & close bathroom ha). If waiting that long anyway, might as well utilize that time for a snack

The menu for Sunshine Seasons seems awfully good for a sit down meal, but no finger foods like the (actually decent) Disney nuggets & fries. Any place for finger foods close enough to snag on the way to Soarin? Even if not nuggets but something savory vs sweet?

Electric Umbrella would be your closest place for stuff like that.

Perfect! Thank you so much! I'll check them out. We typically never eat in FW, can't believe I overlooked thinking about them

that's not by any means an endorsement of electric Umbrella. I'd rather go hungry than eat there again. but for what you were looking for, that's where it is. I might also look for kiosks along the way that sell pick up snack food.

Are you going during Food and Wine or Flower and Garden? Could hit the booths at the beginning of World Showcase in the promenade area?

Right! That's why we typically don't eat in FW lol. And yummy Yachtsman steak for dinner (fat and happy!). But, to facilitate still sleeping in (we're lazy night owls) and growling bellies while waiting anyway; it just might do the trick (this time lol )

Unfortunately not. But, I def agree with you from our F&W trip last October. The yummy lil sandwich (can't remember name?) and pineapple wine we had from the Hawaii booth kinda close to Soarin would (in a perfect world) be my 1st snack choice

What about Hacienda de San Angel for Appetizers? Empanadas, Queso Fundido, Gorditas and Guac?

LeCellier may be closer but cant imagine having poutine after YS. Rose and Crown doesn't really have Finger Food apps.

It doesn't look like the "grab and go" items are on the WDW official menu for Sunshine Seasons, but based on Touring Plans, they seem to have a lot of items that could fit the bill: https://touringplans.com/epcot/dining/sunshine-seasons/menus/grab-and-go-snacks

The fish tacos at Sunshine Seasons are AWESOME!!

Sunshine Seasons had cases full of grab and go stuff while we were there....lots of wraps and sandwiches and stuff (and tons of dessert items too).

There were also cases with prepackaged chips and cookies and stuff too.

If you go right into WS on the Canada side there are two options fairly close by.

Promenade (kiosk) has chili dogs and chips
Refreshment port (kiosk) has nuggets and fries
And then if you want to walk down to U.K. There are the fish and chips.

Just FYI, you won't be able to take food with you in the Soarin' queue.

Oh wow, thank you so much for telling me!!!! Helps me to plan around it. We normally never do in line anyway (kinda awkward & no doubt probably a lil rude to some ). But, that que's so darn comfy it got my wheels turning Thank you again!!
