GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I posted this in response to someone, but thought it might be a fun thread on its own. We all understand this is relative because we're talking about Disney, but what are your favorite Disney meals that are a good deal, maybe because they're big and can be split or maybe because they're not that expensive to begin with. Here are mine: 1) Giddy Up and Go takeout dinner at Trail's End- Request all white meat and you get 10 breasts. This can feed most families for under $30. 2) Pizza at Via Napoli in Epcot (TS)- This is a cheap meal if you stick to the pizza. The pitcher of sangria is also probably the cheapest adult beverage in Disney. 3) Sunshine Seasons in Epcot (CS)- This place has something for everyone. The kid's Caesar is huge, as are most of the adult portions. You get quality food too. 4) Trails End lunch (TS)- This isn't a buffet like lunch and dinner. The food is awesome and it's never crowded. 5) The Plaza in MK (TS)- This is mostly just sandwiches and salads, but the food is really good and not much more than a CS place. It books up because it's a semi-well known secret. Next time I go, I'm making Jason split a sandwich, so I'll have room for dessert. What are your favorite "inexpensive" meals at Disney?

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Totally agree on #1 and #3 (and making a note about Sangria for future reference LOL) Mine are.. Shwarma platters at Tangierine Cafe, Morocco pavilion at Epcot - big enough to split for under $20 Sandwiches from Les Halles bakery in the France pavilion (ask for them toasted!) Pizzafari @ Animal Kingdom - personal sized pizzas are filling and not super expensive, and the Hot Italian is hefty enough to split. Waffle sandwiches in Liberty Square @ Magic Kingdom - super filling and big enough to split if you're not starving And along these lines, for less than $25, this was our Thanksgiving meal in Liberty Square at MK this past year... Turkey leg from the cart, baked potato, sweet potato and cream of tomato soup from the stand next to Hall of Presidents. It filled 2 of us up quite nicely, and while it might be sacrilegious, sitting down and eating the turkey leg with a fork and knife was a whole lot less messy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Now, here's a thread that right up my alley! In addition to those listed, I like the hot dogs in a pretzel roll from Min and Bill's diner at DHS. You can order them without chips, which will save you $2 per meal. Of course, you don't get your little $2 bag of chips though. But, I like saving the $2. Also- the 1/2 chicken meal at Flame Tree Barbecue in the AK is a good deal for a lot of food.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just thought of another one. The bowl of chili from Roaring Forks at Wilderness Lodge. It's self serve, so you can kind of mound it up in your little bowl. And they have all the free saltines you want to go with it. I think it's $3.95, and that works as a meal for me.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 What about that breakfast sandwich at the Contemporary? Definitely. It's $6.95 and has a load of ham and eggs in it. Big enough for two to split. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to be "That Guy," but they have a very nice topping bar at the Roaring Forks, too. I once watched a fellow fix up a sandwich he brought from the outside with fixings from the toping bar.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Another one: The Contemporary and Wilderness Lodge have self-serve soft ice cream machines. You can easily fill the bowl with enough ice cream for two or more people to enjoy. (RIP self-serve Dole Whip from the Polynesian). TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Littleolwoman.aka.Kristie 119 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 lol Memphis my mouth began to water as I wondered where this inexpensive place was. So if we just show up at your site with our $20 sounds like we are in for a feast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I love the salads from Roaring Forks. Not a bad meal for the price. I get one or two every trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 We've always eaten taco salads at Pecos Bill and loved that.... but I think someone said that those are no longer being offered?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I was just going to post about the taco salads at Pecos Bill's. We split a few of those between the 7 of us. i would be sad if they were gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Someone here posted that very recently, but my memory is failing on exactly who/where. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Contempo Café at the Contemporary. We walked over to there last Friday from MK because the lines were too long at all of the food places at lunch time. My wife got a Turkey BLT platter and I got a salad. She saved 1/2 of her sandwich and had it later in the day. My salad was good, but I missed the one they used to have with the craisins in it. I can't remember what else was in it but it was good. I got the vegetable salad, had the usual greens, ripe tomato, feta, corn, and grilled tofu cubes. How are the meals at the restaurant next to Small World? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I agree with your #1, 4, and 5. Love the Plaza Restaurant. Since I'm a low carber, I don't eat regular pizza. Last time we had lunch at Sunshine Seasons, my meal was just barely edible. Won't be going back there any time soon. Another favorite used to be the taco salad at Pecos Bill's. I really like Liberty Tree Tavern. Their burgers are so big that we can easily split one and also split the no-sugar-added raspberry sorbet with berries (strawberries and blueberries). Top that meal off with sugar-free pomegranate lemonade, and I'm one happy camper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Columbia harbor house. I miss the McDonalds French fries just outside of Pecos bills. The 1/2 chicken dinner at the AS food courts. DW and I would get a couple of side salads and split it. Yacht/Beach Club swimming pool bar Hurricane Hanna's lobster shrimp and scallop roll. I can only have a small bite of my DWs but I love that little bite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Ray's post just reminded me of another one... for 2 reasons... The half rotisserie chicken at Cosmic Ray's. For just over $10 it comes with a good sized portion of mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Last time I got it they were green beans and they were actually really good. It could be splittable depending on your appetite, but even on it's own it's a decent, filling meal for not a ton of $. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd eat the white meat and the green beans, and David would have the dark meat and the potatoes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
