Epcot park is one of my favorites to enjoy quick service dining. I feel like it is a great location to snack, try something new, and give yourself the opportunity to engage in new foods while wandering World Showcase. I think that everyone can use some Epcot Quick Service Dining Tips, and I am going to share those with you today!
Tip #1: Very few Quick Service locations at Epcot have a large menu. Epcot only has very few Quick Service Dining locations with an actual full menu. Sunshine Seasons and Electric Umbrella are among the two you will find with a full menu. So if you are planning on enjoying a quick service meal, these are your best options to give your family the most variety.
Tip #2: When you visit Epcot, consider it a culinary adventure. World Showcases houses foods from literally all over the world. In turn, this makes it a great place to share foods and try something new. Keep in mind, if you don’t care for food from another particular country, you likely won’t care for it at Epcot, either. On the other hand, if you LOVE good Mexican food, then you will satisfy your craving in the Mexico pavilion at World Showcase.
Tip #3: Plan a sit down meal at Epcot for breakfast or dinner, and snack or eat lightly for lunch. The amount of table service versus quick service restaurants at Epcot is pretty even. That being said, there is A LOT of good table service locations. Enjoy those for your larger meals, and save the World Showcase or kiosks for a snack lunch while you are in the park.
Tip #4: Don’t forget about the Boardwalk area. This area is easily accessed from the International Gateway, and is a favorite of many Epcot visitors because of its convenience. Here you will find Beaches and Cream, as well as the Boardwalk Bakery. Both of these locations have Quick Service Dining options, and make for a great break from the park.
Tip #5: Some foods in World Showcase are not on the Disney Dining Plan. This is really important to understand, so if you are planning on having a sandwich at the Kringla Bakeri, you are prepared to pay out of pocket for it instead of using your dining plan credits. It is considered a quick service location, but only the pastries and few smaller menu items are actually on the dining plan.
Overall, many favorite Epcot foods include Bavarian pretzels and caramel corn from Germany, nachos from Mexico, and pastries from Norway. You really can’t go wrong at Epcot with good food and a fun experience eating it. What is your favorite quick service food at Epcot?
