Disney is infamous for its fast food, but also famous for its great table service. Mix the two and what do you get? A concept from the US parks that promises to serve you proper food faster, getting you back out there to enjoy the rides, for a smaller cost.
This so-called “40-Minute Lunch Menu” was first introduced at Walt’s - An American Restaurant in Main Street U.S.A. last month and has now been extended already to two other table service restaurants at
Disneyland Park.
At Silver Spur Steakhouse in Frontierland, you can hop on the “Pony Express” set menu for €19.90 to choose from three main courses — including both steaks and salads — with a “gourmet coffee”, all served in 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, Blue Lagoon Restaurant in Adventureland offers the option to sail by the winds of the “Alizé Express” set menu for the same price, with another pick from three different main courses, and again a gourmet coffee to finish.
This new €19.90 set menu seeks to fill up and maximise the capacity of these three table service restaurants in the middle of the day during Summer, when lines at fast food outlets are longest and many people are still in too much of a hurry to stop for a longer lunch.
By allowing guests to pay less and giving the tables a quicker turnover, it seems to give both sides a good deal.
