food toting question

[rustysgirl]

so i have a question. i like eating at 2 counter service restaurants in the world showcase that are both outside. problem is, i don't like actually eating outside. theres always bugs of course but my issue is with birds. i've had experiences at both of these restaurants with birds hanging around. i'm terrified of birds! :lookaroun

now i'm sure its easy just to say eat somewhere else thats inside but i really don't want to lol so my question is, is there some place in the world showcase that i can take my food and eat inside? should i try to sneak into another counter service restaurant with my food and hope they don't say anything to me? is there some place where you can sit thats kind of tucked away that i can eat? like for instance if i got nachos at the outside QS restaurant in Mexico and ate them on the benches inside the mexico pavilion in the courtyard, would that be possible? i'm sure this is a stupid question as i'm sure they don't want me eating there but i'm desperate as i don't want to give up my 2 favorite places but i don't want to eat with the birds either! any suggestions? lol

I have never done what you are suggesting at EPCOT. If I did it, I would imagine that The Land Food Court and The Electric Umbrella would suit your needs without any CM intervention. Sorry, but that's all I can think of right now.

I have gone into the Liberty Inn dining area in the American pavilion to sit and have a snack without purchasing food from there (we brought juice & snack with us to tide us over until our reservation at Biergarten. It's out of the sun and away from the birds. As long as there are tables available & you aren't keeping their customers from having a place to sit, they won't say anything. I hope that helps!

The only thing I can suggest is the Land Pavilion. I've never been told I can't sit there. The best thing to do is to buy your nachos in Mexico and go over to the Land Pavilion and buy your drinks there. That way you purchased something in the pavilion.

I've eaten my fish n chips inside the American pavillion without a problem. I'd think you could find something close so you could get away from the pests outside.

There's usually plenty of room in the QS place at the American Adventure (I'm blanking on the name right now!). I highly doubt anyone would say anything to you.

FYI, if it's during lunchtime hours, some of the indoor seating at Hacienda de San Angel is open for the Cantina's Counter Service patrons. Around 3 or 4pm they start clearing the inside to switch over to Hacienda's Table Service dinner hours.

There's also plenty of seats in China's counter service.
Most of Norway's bakery seating is outdoors, but it's pretty sheltered and is almost like being indoors.
There are some indoor tables for the France bakery, they're inside the gift shop at the end of that side street.
They're ok with people bringing fish & chips from the outdoor counter into the Rose & Crown Pub, but you'll most likely be expected to order a beverage from the pub...
Sommerfest in Germany has some seating that's indoors though it's exposed to the outdoors via a large archway.

One indoor location I'd suggest *not* using would be Yakitori House (though it's currently closed for refurb). Its indoor seating isn't really big enough for its own customers, let alone people coming in with food from elsewhere.

We all like things from different places so sometimes each get our own and all meet up at one of them. As they're all owned by Disney anyway, I can't see why anyone would mind, and indeed no one has ever said anything.

Just to clarify, most of the World Showcase restaurants aren't actually owned by Disney. Most are owned by 3rd parties and operate with Disney under contract. With that said, our family has gotten things from different places before and then met up at one location. No one ever has a problem or even bats an eye that we have different food. America is usually the best place to eat since there is a good amount of seating and right in the middle.
