The Best Disney World Quick Service Restaurants from the Experts!

If there’s one thing Mr. Locke and I agree to disagree on is the best Disney World quick service restaurants, so I wrangled in my favorite theme park experts to weigh in on their top picks in the parks to see which of us is right. I asked them for their favorites and, based on theming, ambiance, meals, and service, each gave me his or her top three picks.

The consensus? Even though you’ll see quite a few counter service restaurants that kept getting picked over and over again, you’ll also find some solo choices- and even one that chose only one spot three times. Here are the delicious results to help you plan for your next visit!

Sarah Gilliland from Sarah in the Suburbs

Sarah Gilliland at Sarah in the Suburbs was born into a military family and raised all over the world, but will always call the southeastern United States home. After graduating from Auburn University with a bachelor’s degree in Apparel Merchandising, Sarah married her husband, Neil, in January of 2009, and they began to make plans to build their life together in Montgomery, Alabama.

Little did they know that twins, a job change, and a move further north to Birmingham were in the not too distant future!

Sarah and Neil welcomed their fraternal twin girls in February of 2011, and, just over a year later, Sarah and her family moved to Birmingham following her husband’s acceptance of a new job.

With Neil’s love of the mountains and Sarah’s love of the beach, Birmingham is the perfect location for them to raise their family and be equidistant from the two places they love the most.
