magic kingdom food recommendations

Quick Tip: Disney food can be pricey, so grab subs from Publix as a budget-friendly alternative! They offer online or deli counter ordering, including vegan options. You can bring them into the park using a soft-sided cooler (no larger than 24”x15”x18”), like a backpack cooler, to keep them fresh. It’s a great way to skip long lines, save money, and maximize your park time!
