Quick and Casual
Fast
food or counter service restaurants will be included in this section.
Some Walt Disney World fast food restaurants will
have the same hurry-up meal in a basket fare you probably have back home,
while others will live up to their exotic names and offer a little
something special. Before you spend you’re hard earned vacation dollars
take some time and familiarize yourself with our choices. In doing so you
will have a leg up on one of the most frequently asked questions, “Where
do you want to eat?” and also see why we didn’t title this section Quick
and Cheap.

Tip: At the busier times of the year especially during the peak
meal times you may find it necessary to arm wrestle a family from
Ohio for a table, so you may want to time your refueling stop for a
little before or a little after the traditional lunch or dinner
hour. |
