3 Tips We Just Found Out About at Disney World Restaurants

If you’re heading to Disney World anytime soon, you probably know that the sheer amount of dining options can be somewhat overwhelming.

The hacked “float”

However, there are certain tips you can keep in mind to make the best of your dining experience.

Let’s begin over in Toy Story Land over at Hollywood Studios, where there’s a way to combine two items from Woody’s Lunch Box and the land’s new Popcorn and Snacks cart into a delicious adult concoction.

Toy Story Land Popcorn and Snacks

You can pick up the $16.50 Coca-Cola with Stoli Vodka cocktail at Popcorn & Snacks — which debuted in January — and then head over to Woody’s Lunch Box and grab a serving of vanilla soft serve, which is available in a pretty decently sized cup for $6.49.

The ice cream cup

From there (and with an extra clear cup for alcohol in hand from Popcorn & Snacks), you can combine the cocktail with the soft serve to create two Coke & Stoli floats!

The total price would be $22.99, split between two people, $11.49 each, a total savings of $10 total vs buying 2 Coke and Stoli cocktails at $16.50 each!!!

The soft serve and two cups of alcohol.

We evenly split the Coke and vodka concoction between the 2 cups. There was never a point where the mix had the consistency to be eaten like ice cream with a spoon. This is something you will drink with a straw, a spoon, or straight from the cup, with the consistency of a milkshake.

Mixed “floats”

Beyond some snack combination hacks, there are also some other tips to keep in mind when trying to score your ideal Disney meal:

First off, let’s say you didn’t score Advance Dining Reservations for your ideal restaurant. Turns out all hope isn’t lost! When you’re inside your park of choice, you can add your party to the walk-up list for select table-service restaurants on the Walt Disney World app. Check availability at participating restaurants via the app—or by scanning a QR code located in the restaurant’s lobby. There’s no need to visit the host stand to check availability. Use the app to add your party to the walk-up list of an available restaurant. At this time, you can also confirm your party details, including special dietary requests. Once your table is ready, you’ll be notified to proceed to a specified location.
If you DO have the reservation you desire, but want a specific table — either for practical purposes like near a bathroom or an exit, or more thematic reasons like being close to windows for a view or sitting in a specific room at, say, Be Our Guest — you can request as much at the check-in desk. Now, the Cast Members on duty may not be able to grant said request, but it never hurts to make it.
