On this post
Such characteristics about these establishments will be presented below.
That way, you will see options for different situations and the best, all looking very appetizing.
What are Quick Service Restaurants?
well, the restaurants Disney are “divided” into 2 categories that they created themselves.
These 2 categories are “Quick Services” (or “Counter Service) and “Table Service“.
Basically, Quick Service are restaurants in the "cafeteria" style where you stand in line to place your order, take your order and look for a place to eat (style McDonalds, for example).
And in the “Table Services” restaurants, they are the “normal” restaurants that we eat in our daily lives.
We sit at a table, the waiter comes to serve us, bring our food and at the end brings the bill.
As you can see, despite the different names created by Disney, both styles are already well known among all of us visitors!
Enough rambling, let's get to the best restaurants list.

Be Our Guest
Perhaps the most famous restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. Could not miss on our list the beautiful Be our Guest!
If you've ever dreamed of one day visiting Beauty and the Beast's castle, your dream can come true here.
Be our Guest is really a beautiful restaurant that looks like it came straight out of a Disney movie.
Come on, talking about the environment.
It is by far the best setting of ALL Quick Service restaurants in all Orlando parks.
You won't find anything like it there, including the magic rose located in the west wing of the Castle.
But as not everything is flowers.
I believe that the value of the food is high for the quality you have.
Food is ok, not bad.
But because you're eating inside the Beast's castle, the price of the meal is higher, especially at dinner.
With that, I would expect slightly better food, but it's ok food for Quick Service and maybe in the quality of the food itself, the worst on this list, in my opinion.
We've already shown a lot there on our youtube channel.
But even so, I believe it is worth eating there.

It's not a place we like to eat, we recommend it for a mid-afternoon snack (or maybe even breakfast), just to keep hunger at bay until the end of the day or even to wait for the next big meal, be it lunch or dinner.

Sleepy Hollow Refreshments
Last on our list of Magic Kingdom's Best Quick Service Restaurants is Sleepy Hollow Refreshments.
I admit that I thought a lot before putting this restaurant on the list.
The reason is simple, it is almost a snack place and not really a restaurant.
Even for that alone he is so low on the list. If it were the snacks list it would be among the first 3 options!
We just LOVE the Fruit Waffle and Nutella. If you've never eaten, put it on the script of your next trip.
In addition to being one of the best things you can eat inside the park, you still have the opportunity to eat with an incredible view of Cinderella's castle.
It is worth including Sleepy Hollow in your itinerary, even for dessert or afternoon snacks.

The difference between quick service and table service restaurants
For starters, the quick service restaurant is often more difficult to explain. After all, there are many elements that can be included in this concept.
In general, however, the idea is to have their own autonomy in place.
That is, the visitor who takes the order and sits down, when he wants to sit down.
The focus of the article was restaurants, however, carts and stands are also quick service.
Contrary to what many people think, the quality of the food is not dubious.
This means that all environments are sanitized and therefore the food is well prepared. In addition, it is possible to find healthy dishes to avoid eating problems.
About TableService
This model is the most classic, with a waiter, a menu and the customer orders at the table.
Not only that, but this service is usually done by a team of cooks. As a result, the dishes come out with superior quality.
Still, there are numerous establishments that combine the two ideas into one.
So, you can choose to order at the table or pick up your order at the counter. Therefore, there are several ways for visitors to end hunger during the tour.
Quick Service Restaurant Menus: What Disney Check Means
When you come across the menu of a restaurant, it is common to see a symbol and it refers to Disney Check.
In case you didn't know, Disney has some nutritional guidelines for healthier eating. In this way, the symbol means that that dish meets the standards of the place.
This sign appears on the print and digital versions of park restaurant menus. In addition, the icon can also appear on products in the food segment of the place.
With that, when you see it, you will understand that the dish is approved by the guidelines. Thus, it is a guarantee that you are eating something really healthy for you and your family.
