Least expensive table service meal in a park or Resort?

[Mle8308]

Everything you heard is true

And I absolutely hated it! Worst dining experience I've EVER had at Disney! Tried it because we'd heard so many good reviews. NEVER again.

Agree 100%! Though I do wish we liked it, it was a cute space. And reasonably priced for Disney. The dessert was really good, I'll give them that!

Must Coral Reef.
Must Sanaa.
Eating in a typical resort hotel is nothing special.
The above not only have excellent theming they also have animals. Sanaa has better food of the two but both are good.
The reason to go to Disney is to experience magic, these two will have that.

It's a QS, but the food (which I think is stellar) is delivered to your table. Cloth napkins and silverware in a really nice, comfortable setting with great pricing. Primo Piatto at Riviera. We ate dinner there 3 nights in a row because of the value, portion size and quality of the food. The CM's there are terrific too.

Boy, what am I doing wrong when I go to Primo Piatto? I had mobile ordered, but when my meal was ready, no one delivered it-I had to go up to the mobile order table and get it. My meal came in a cardboard container with plastic silverware. A CM brought me napkins, only because I was looking around, so she asked me what I needed, and when I said "napkins", she brought them to me-paper, not cloth. I'll agree that the CMs are terrific though.

Skipper Canteen at MK is on the ,ore ,operate price side. We enjoy the menu.

It's gone up in price, but for the ambiance feel like Sci Fi is a good choice. Probably the best themed restaurant on property.....if you can stomach a $25 burger.

Skipper Canteen is probably the "cheapest" for best quality. We eat there every MK day and love it.

The pizza place in Epcot can probably be the cheapest per person depending on amount of people and appetites. But I could also see too cost conscious families leaving with people still being hungry.

Uh...we never mobile ordered.

Another way to have a less-expensive TS meal is to share entrees, which are often huge. And stay away from AYCTE restaurants, since they are all pretty expensive and there's no way to share entrees, since everyone pays the whole price.

BTW, some of the restaurants mentioned in this thread are QS, not TS.

Steakhouse 71 at the Contemporary, Geyser point at WL & Yak & Yeti at AK all have IMO reasonable priced meals for a TS. Our go to lunch TS in a park/resort that we find reasonable though is Biergarten at Epcot. It's buffet style & has a great selection. We enjoy both the atmosphere & entertainment in there. Some will argue at $59pp It's not cheap. But we do for what you get

Crew's Cup Lounge at YC has a small menu but is not too busy if you go when it first opens, and it's not too expensive.

Sci-Fi Diner was the cheapest table service meal on our last trip. We liked the cheesy movie clips and the food was not bad. We had better meals elsewhere but still glad we ate there.

Another tip is to eat breakfast in the room, bring a late morning snack and eat your TS at 2 or so. It is an off-time so less crowded, and then for all but the teens something lighter in the evening.

Boma breakfast won't break your budget.

Spice Road Table. Small plates are inexpensive but good amount of food. And it's delicious!!

Yak & Yeti at AK, Sci-Fi at HS, Plaza at MK, Ale & Compass YC breakfast.

Sci-Fi is very memorable. The menu is more like pub food than table service, but 5 people can be well fed without big bucks.

The Plaza at MK is kind of a hidden Gem. Diner type food/prices served in front of the castle.

Ale & Compass doesn’t have a wow factor really other than a TS that farrrrr surpasses any QS breakfast, half the price of character breakfast options, in a location easy to access.

I was a big fan of Tiffins at AK early on. The entrees were dialed down while price increased. Yak & Yeti has many similarities to Tiffins and much more affordable. Tiffins is for when you want the fancy dialed up a few notches. Otherwise Y&Y is best.

All my choices are seconds or third. Sci-Fi at top, then Yak & Yeti, and via Napoli.
