This was a bucket list item to try because who doesn't want a Shrek themed pretzel? I've had the…read moreMickey shaped pretzel before from Disney so it was only right to try the Universal version of it. I ordered the Shrekzel and it was $12.99. It came with green cheese but I declined it. Sadly, this doesn't change the price. This pricing is more expensive than a Mickey pretzel (which also comes with cheese), but the Shrekzel is a tad bigger. I found the pretzel to be a little too chewy. I like giant pretzels to be soft. Service was not the greatest either. The two employees at the stand were on their phone before taking my friend and I's order and immediately afterwards too. Overall, I love the concept of the Shrekzel and the theming of the quick-service Swamp Snacks but this was a one and done experience for me.

We love Japanese cuisine, so stumbling across this kiosk felt like a win, especially since we were looking for something quick, flavorful, and easy to enjoy on the go! We decided to sit outside and take in the Village Lake view, which made the experience even better. The weather was beautiful, and it was such a relaxing break from all the walking. I ordered the build-your-own poke bowl since I was really craving one, and it absolutely hit the spot. The Ahi Tuna tasted fresh, the portions were a bit small but still satisfying, and it was customizable so it was perfect to get exactly what i wanted in the bowl! The Violet Sake drink was hands down our favorite. We already love sake, so this was an easy hit for us, but the flavor and presentation stood out. It was smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet, plus the color was absolutely gorgeous and made it even more fun to drink. For a kiosk, they had a surprisingly solid selection of Japanese street food. The menu included karaage, chicken and wagyu bao buns, taiyaki, and poke bowls, which gave us plenty of options for a quick bite. Everything sounded tempting, and we'll definitely be back to try more items next time we're at Disney Springs. Perfect for people who don't have time to do an entire sit-down menu at a restaurant. Overall, this is a great stop if you want a refreshing drink, a quick Japanese-inspired bite, and a nice place to sit and relax for a moment. Perfect for a casual yet enjoyable experience.

The cheese deep was meh and I would not get that again. Jalapeño poppers and Mickey bar were other items we enjoyed and I can't wait to go back. For some reason the Disney site says this is closed. I am here to tell you it is not. After you order your food you can wait for your food and one of the many picnic tables and they will call your name. There is a condiment cart with all the stuff you could need. We ordered burgers and loved them and they even have diced onions in a packet. Surprisingly good flavor. This is located between pioneer hall and the MK ferry dock on the campsites at fort wilderness property. Right now they open at 5 but I think this fluctuates based on season. Next time we are gonna try the onion rings!

She also sat us at our table where we had the opportunity to chat about something not Disney related.. My husband and I then had the good fortune of having Juan C. be our server. He was super knowledgeable about the entire menu--from drinks to entrees, and was very attentive and personable too. Will definitely request him in the future... but it doesn't stop there!!! Manager Sara came by our table to review my Landry's member info. (I did not have my membership card, I haven't seen it in years lol; this is standard practice with them to confirm my information). Sara was another example of outstanding management: totally customer focused, energetic and caring. It is clear to see why this restaurant and each staff member we encountered was phenomenal..... But wait! I have not yet even mentioned our meal!!!! Great cocktail/drink selection. As I was saving myself for my second dessert down back by Everest, I declined any drinks, but hubby had two glasses of Tsum Valley ( A vodka based drink with a wine floater)... and Juan told him the best way to drink it!!! I have to agree, it was tasty. The menu has several choices, and I had a hard time picking, but the Thai basil chicken won out : a huge portion of noodles, chicken, vegetables, all mixed with incredible seasoning. So so so good, I took the leftovers with me, and they were plenty of leftovers. Hubby got one of the newer, seasonal choices, Thai chicken and shrimp curry ( Khao Soi), which had a kick to it and he polished it all off...it was that good! Our neighboring table got the rum cake(?) which looked fantastic.. Very cool decor. Lots of fabric, tapestries, statues, beautiful chandeliers, and a second floor as well. Again, can't speak highly enough about this dining experience, and it really started and continued with the phenomenal staff here. Thank you, everybody, including Ably ( I am sorry, I forgot the spelling of his name, he was at the hostess stand and helpful as well). Can't wait for our next trip back.

There is a bit of seating and usually some live music to listen to while you eat. The World Showcase of Flavors truck (loosely) represents Epcot and has a couple of nice options on the menu: a chicken gyro, pierogies, or beef sliders. Wine and soft drinks are also available. I've been here about a dozen times (usually after a long run around DTD and Saratoga Springs, or as a quick bite after a movie at AMC) and I always get the sliders. Two juicy mini burgers with cheese and sweet pickles (served with some potato chips) for just under $10. The portion size is perfect for lunch or a light dinner -- you won't feel stuffed, but definitely satisfied. The price would be a bit high anywhere outside of Disney, but we're at the mercy of the mouse. Everything is made to order and the truck is pretty small, so it can get backed up quickly on a busy night. And they don't really have the ordering process down -- sometimes you order at the window, sometimes at an outside register. Weird queue formations pop up and there's often a bit of confusion over what should be a fairly simple process -- would love to see staff manage things a little better here. The biggest problem is consistency of the food. Most of the time my sliders have been tasty, but there have been mistakes: one order I received was nearly raw inside and another was burned to the point of being inedible. Sometimes everything is slapped together in a way that makes it weirdly messy to eat (these are burgers, I'm not going to break out a knife and fork!). There's only one chef at the grill, so it is hard to imagine how food that bad could be served. The staff has always been nice about correcting the errors, but waiting another 10 or so minutes for a new order can be frustrating. Since most people at DTD are tourists, it seems like they're not too concerned with repeat customers. TL;DR: A tasty meal when everything is done right; a disappointment when no one's paying attention to the details.

Which is one of my go to meals whenever we do a quick service stop and need a refuel. It's a great way to get some protein and calories in two indoor walking around the park in the heat. This location has an easily visible menu, and plenty of seating. they also have a couple of alcoholic beverages that they now serve so check those out while you're there. There are multiple different registers and you can pick any one you like to wait. They also do online ordering through the app if you want to do that before you arrive for less of a wait. all of the seating is covered with umbrellas or awnings, which makes it more tolerable on a hot day. However all of the seating is outside so that's something to note before you eat here. This is common for quick serve restaurants at Disney though. the price points are on par for what you'd expect for Disney quick serve. It's about $10 to $15 per person to eat. Overall: B AOK location that's pretty standard for quick Service. Grab a bite, refuel and get back to park enjoyment!

The Bubbly Barrel is a small but surprisingly memorable stop inside the park, mostly because of how…read morefun and themed the entire concept is. We walked up to a quick dessert-style kiosk built around bright, playful presentation, not a full café or sit-down spot. The DK barrel mug alone already set the tone, making it feel like something designed for both the drink and the souvenir. The main draw is the pineapple soda and soft serve floats. We ordered one and found the drink itself light, fizzy, and refreshing, with a tropical sweetness that worked well in a theme park setting. The soft serve added a creamy contrast, and depending on the variation, toppings like toffee or sprinkles brought a bit more texture and sweetness to the mix. It was simple, but intentionally so, and the flavors were easy to enjoy while walking through the park. What really made it stand out was the presentation and souvenir factor. The Donkey Kong-themed barrel mug was something we ended up keeping long after finishing the drink, and it was a big part of why we stopped here in the first place. It turned a basic float into something more collectible and fun, especially since we were already in the Super Nintendo World area. The main thing to keep in mind is that it is not really designed for lingering. The drinks can be a bit messy to carry around, so finding a nearby table or seating area made the experience much easier. It was more of a quick treat than a place to hang out. Overall, The Bubbly Barrel is a fun, themed snack stop that works best as a short break rather than a destination. The drink is refreshing, the presentation is playful, and the souvenir mug adds extra value, making it a worthwhile stop if you are already exploring the area.
