Quick Service Advice

[Moms]

We are heading to WDW next month (extended Columbus day weekend) and "for the first time in forever" we have (gasp) NO ADR's!!! We will be spending time at F&W but will also be spending time in other parks ... not HS this time! We always have a full slate of ADR's but thought this time we would get acquainted with QS options rather than lock ourselves into reservations at TS venues. We have had some experience with the heavy hitters at the three parks (Columbia Harbor House, Flame Tree BBQ, and Sunshine Seasons) but wonder if there are some "hidden gems" that we might enjoy. We are adventurous eaters and no allergies ... but didn't care for the new place at Pandora last winter. Mobile ordering is a plus. What are your favorite "go-to" places?

Roaring Forks at FWL., Capt. Cooks at Poly., Blaze at DS.

We had a decent meal at Pecos Bills but it was very chaotic inside.

We loved Satuii Canteen - you might have to try something else.

We had enough enjoyable QS that I will probably cut back on ADRs next trip. Mobile ordering was the best!

Another vote for Pecos Bill. Most items are large enough to share with the addition of the toppings bar. Caseys Corner also another large hot dog we shared. Contemporary Cafe at the Contemporary. We also like to go the France bakery and get ham and cheese croissants for lunch. We just wish there was more seating.

We went in January for a 12 day stay and only had 2 ADR's. It was really nice to be able to eat wherever we were when we were hungry. There aren't many QS places that I wouldn't eat at.

What's an ADR???
We hardly use them anymore and our vacations have become so much more spontaneous and relaxed. Counter Service and lounges, that's where we will be.

MK
Pecos Bill, fajita platter
Pinocchio VH, flat bread

Epcot
Tangierine Cafe, shawarma platter
*my favorite QS on property!!!!

Les Halles, baguette and cheese plate, macaroons

DHS
No. Just no.

AK
Yak and Yeti, a side of chicken fried rice and an egg roll—a very inexpensive but good lunch

DS
Wolfgang Puck Express
Wow, this QS is fantastic! You order at the counter but waitstaff brings your food. Lovely setting, great California wine list. Real silverware, glasses, plates. It is a big step up in the QS World. My favorite dish is the grilled meatloaf or grilled samon.

DS— Holy Guacamole, Batman! The Polite Pig was exceptional. Can’t wait to go back next week.
Epcot— Tangerine Cafe
MK—Be Our Guest lunch. I have had very good luck with touring plans reservation finder when I haven’t been able to score this on my own.

I just had the breakfast waffle sandwich at Sleepy Hollow this week and was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely get it again.

 

[GeorgiaHoo]

Les Halles is pretty good.

 

[Planogirl]

Harambe Market at AK is a favorite of ours.

We don't have many ADRs for our ten day trip. Some QS on my radar are CHH, Satuli Canteen, FTBBQ, Casey's, POFQ food court, Boardwalk Bakery, Boardwalk Pizza Window, Anything in WS especially Mexico, Y&Y QS and the new place at TSL. I also plan on trying more lounges, particularly Crews Cup and Nomad.

 

[DisBuckMan]

We've been done with ADR's for several trips now. Absolutely love it.

If we desire a TS, we get on the app while there and see what's available day of or day before. Never have a problem getting pretty much anything we want.

Satuli Canteen, Contempo Cafe, Roaring Fork, POR food court.
