Every trip we say we are going to venture up to new quick service counters, try some new snacks and lunches (that's the only meal we eat in the parks) but we ALWAYS get the same stuff because we just love it! And it's easy to plan lunch and snacks around locations and items we know. Mickey pretzels, popcorn, Mickey bar. Casey's corner in MK for lunch is a must. We always get the mini corn dogs. I know the parks, especially MK, arent known for world renowned food but I'm sure there are options that we will love just as much as the classics so....what do y'all got?! And please, no churros. We finally tried one last trip and it was so overrated. And we had to wait to have it made so it was as fresh as they can be. We do have the sweet and spicy waffle from sleep hallow on the list this time.

MK: egg rolls (Adventureland)
EPCOT: egg rolls (kiosk on lagoon side by China pavilion)
AK: mac & cheese with pulled pork (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/animal-kingdom/eight-spoon-cafe/menus/)
DHS: there's nothing there we "must have"

Le Halles Bakery in France has some great sandwiches and snacks. Also, the German Caramel shoppe-I dream of the butter/caramel shortcake bars.

Are the eggrolls in Adventureland like lumpia? And I've Always wanted to try the pulled pork Mac and cheese. It looks delicious but very rich! That would be a meal correct??
I had to google "lumpia" but yes that's what they looked like last time we had them The flavors change periodically - I am fan of the traditional one. While the menu says "snack" for me the mac and cheese is definitely a meal.

For snacks, we used a lot of snack credits on frozen drinks/ slushies. Lefou’s Brew was a fav, as well as the shave ice in AK.
Aloha Isle had some special dole whip floats that were on my list but sadly, the line was too long.
For quick service we loved Tangierine Cafe in Epcot and Fairfax Fare in DHS (really good Mexican!)

The Carmel shoppe is on our list!! We've not been to Epcot in maybe 20 years lol so I had to brush up on my Epcot. My husband is looking forward to Epcot the most I think 😂

I've never seen them!! Oh man I'm excited! I saw a Disney blogger post about the lumpia in AL Disneyland so I'm am happy to hear they have them in the world. My husband is the only one that likes the file whips or the pins colada in AL so I don't know if ive ever looked at that menu. If you ever have the chance to try real, authentic lumpia do it. It is fantastic! I can't tell you yet how it compares to Disney but they are amazing!

The Brew is a favorite drink of mine! They used to have a pork shank there when they first opened that was DELICIOUS but it's not there that we've seen on our last few trips.

My family seems to love the cream cheese filled pretzels at the launching pad below the Astro Orbiter
I've been wanting to try those but haven't found them. I feel like the launching pad was not open the last two times we've gone. Is that possible??

Lumpia is tasty. It's like fried Asian egg rolls stuffed with a protein and veggies.
