The Lunching Pad

Cream cheese filled pretzel was sweet and tastes way better than a regular Mickey pretzel. The cream cheese helps keep the pretzel from drying out. The sticky bun was a perfect quick snack waiting for the next ride.

The Lunching Pad, located in Tomorrowland at Disney World's Magic Kingdom, offers a quick-service dining experience that caters to both families and individuals on the go. Known for its convenient location and variety of snack options, it’s a popular spot for a quick bite amid the park's attractions. The menu is straightforward but satisfying, featuring classic American favorites. Among the most popular items are the loaded hot dogs, which come with a variety of toppings such as chili-cheese or pulled pork and coleslaw. Pretzels, both savory and sweet, are also a staple, with the Mickey-shaped pretzel being a favorite among kids and adults alike. For a lighter snack, the Lunching Pad offers a selection of refreshing beverages, including frozen lemonades and soft drinks, perfect for cooling down on a hot Florida day. While the food at the Lunching Pad may not be gourmet, it excels in providing tasty, quick options that allow guests to refuel without spending too much time away from the park's attractions. The seating area offers a decent amount of shade and people-watching opportunities, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. In summary, the Lunching Pad is a reliable choice for those seeking fast, enjoyable food during their magical day at Disney World. Variety of food is limited

It’s good when you’re hungry! The cream cheese stuffed pretzel was pretty good, but the sticky bubble bread had a Coca Cola taste to it for some reason

The tater tots are awesome and the breakfast bowl is very underrated! They were so good with the queso con carne. The stick bread was good but had a bit of an odd flavor. Probably wouldn’t try it again.

After enjoying few more rides, we made our way over to The Lunching Pad. This is not a place to get all varieties of food, but more of a quick snack stop. Main offerings are: Hot Dog, Barbecue Pork Sandwich, and Mickey Pretzel. They had a couple more side items, and then slushy drinks. The item we wanted from here was the Micky Pretzel. That was the only thing we wanted, so we didn't have any issue with their limited offering. The pretzel was a pretty good size, not too large not small. And most of all, super cute!!! It came with cheese dip, but they have all the condiments like mustard nearby if you want other options. It was warm, fluffy, chewy and tasty! The cheese dip added additional substance to it, so it was a bit more filling than I thought. Yes, the price might be a bit on the high end, but then again, this is Disney World...

I was ignored and 5 people who ordered behind me were served first, one guy even has 7 items on his order when all I had was a pretzel. Had to ask for my food after 10 mins and then want treated fairly for it. Not the service I thought Disney hires so it was a little frustrating.

The Lunching Pad is a nice little pit stop in Tomorrowland where you can grab a Mickey Pretzel or a slushy to cool off on a hot day. The Lunching Pad also serves hot dogs that looked tasty. The staff was friendly and efficient. Food was fresh and well prepared. This location has a decent amount of outdoor-only seating.

The Launch Pad has a small selection so be ready for pretzels and hotdogs. The cheese dog was ok, not something we thought would go together but it was decent, I think I will stick with the regular hotdog. The fresco cheese dog was layered with cheese, cheese sauce, sweet relish, and a large hot dog. Because of how much is on it, the bug broke upon first bite. I remember when eating, to eat it over the container or use a fork and lots of napkins.

The Lunching Pad is Tomorrowland's greasy spoon in disguise--wedged under the PeopleMover like a futuristic gas station that only sells pretzels and regrets. It's the dining equivalent of your phone at 1%: not glamorous, but absolutely necessary. The menu? Legendary for all the wrong reasons. * Colossal Hot Dogs so big they could double as parade floats. You don't eat one, you survive one. * Cream Cheese Stuffed Pretzels that are basically edible therapy--warm, gooey, and gone too fast. It's not a snack, it's a hug in carb form. * Turkey Legs sometimes find their way here, because nothing says "future" like gnawing on a caveman-sized drumstick in front of Space Mountain. The seating? Forget it. You'll be juggling a pretzel, a Coke, and your dignity while dodging stroller traffic like you're in a live-action video game. At The Lunching Pad, trash cans aren't just trash cans--they're fine dining tables with a view. Theming? Tomorrowland at its kitschiest. Neon, concrete, and the background hum of the PeopleMover gliding overhead. It feels less like the future Walt promised and more like the mall food court your parents warned you about. And yet--you'll still come here. Why? Because everyone does. Everyone has stopped at The Lunching Pad at least once, either to inhale a hot dog between rides or because the smell of pretzels dragged them in like a tractor beam. It's not fine dining, it's line dining--and somehow, it works. The Lunching Pad isn't iconic, it isn't polished, but it's pure Disney survival food. You'll come here hungry, you'll leave with mustard on your shirt, and you'll probably do it again next trip. Because in Tomorrowland, the real future is carbs.

Dropped thousands to enter this kingdom of dreams, But this meal? A nightmare straight from the seams. Grilled chicken sandwich: dry and bare-- No care, no flavor, just cafeteria air. The fries were a joke--thin, cold, and few, Like they rationed the salt and forgot what to do. Coke with no lid, no straw, no class-- Just handed it off like, "get outta here fast." For the price I paid to step in this land, I expected more than slop from a stand. Walt built a world with vision and pride-- This felt like the brand took guests for a ride.

My little cousins wanted to eat here, but I just had coffee & the most amazing passion fruit mandarin tart. It was so pretty I didn't want to eat it. The flavor was amazing & everyone loved it. It was the most unique tart I've ever had. I truly regret not bringing ziplocs or a to go container to Disney. I definitely would've taken some items with me.

This is one of the worst foods I've tried at Disney. I went here for a quick service snack and won't come back. I ordered the Mickey shaped pretzel and it came with a hot cheddar cheese sauce. The pretzel tasted like cardboard and was bad. I dipped it in the cheese sauce to enhance the flavor but I didn't like the sauce either.

The launch pad is located at the magical kingdom across from buzz light year. We had breakfast there I had the breakfast bowl which has Tatar tots, omelette, chili, sour cream, cheese it was very good and satisfying my family got the pretzels with cheese Fast quick and on the go for Disney.

Great snacking food for in between rides. I recommend splitting the Mickey Mouse pretzel. Added bonus it comes with a huge tub of warm cheddar cheese. Lines move quickly.

During our rush to get to Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day we were not able to eat breakfast at the hotel. I woke up early to obtain a spot for the virtual queue on the new ride Tron. While waiting for our number to be called I ordered a mobile order from a spot near the ride called the lunching pad. We ordered their famous sticky bubble bread and a breakfast bowl. The sticky bread was delicious with the right amount of sweet and spices, I just wish the dough itself was a little more moist. The breakfast bowl was even better consisting of tater tots with a full cheese omelette topped with pico de gallo. Both were a great way to start the morning for a full day at the park.

Perfectly serviceable grilled chicken sandwich, burger and kids' chicken strips. This would probably be a 3-star meal outside Disney parks, but inside where the food is expensive and mediocre, it gets a one-star boost. We were here for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and needed some dinner and were nearby. The ordering process was pretty hectic with long lines and then rushed ordering, but we still got what we needed. The oddest part was that you had to ask for lettuce, pickles and tomatoes at the counter when you pick up your food, but the rest of your stuff you got at a condiments counter. The person I ordered from told me this, but otherwise I would have been totally lost. They also seemed a bit surprised when I asked for veggies. Maybe most people at Disney parks don't want veggies. The actual burger and chicken were pretty good. A step above McDonald's and maybe on par with other, slightly better chains. The French fries were good, but didn't stand out. We got lucky and found a table for four opening just as we sat down, but there's pretty limited seating if you're there at any kind of rush time.

Breakfast potato bowl 8/10 Crispy tots, fresh pico, omelet is pretty good, queso adds flavor. Good breakfast meal!!

Well, I guess it was inevitable. After a series of excellent experiences at various Disney eateries, I finally found myself disappointed by one of the company's restaurants. I knew before I even landed in Florida that I absolutely had to order a churro at some point, as one of my fondest memories from our Disney trips as a kid was eating a churro in the park. I think it might've even been my first time eating a churro ever, which made the experience even more special. So after passing several places offering churros, I decided the time was finally right in Tomorrowland. However, my bad experience began right when I went to order my food, as I found myself face to face with a surly woman who behaved as though she hated her job and she hated me. And ironically, her name was Smiley! Anyway, I finally got my churro and chocolate sauce and they were both very middling. The churro was especially disappointing as it was lacking in that pronounced cinnamon flavor you associate with the sweet snack. Worse still, it didn't taste fresh at all. The chocolate sauce was fine but awfully thin and lacking in chocolaty richness. It's really too bad but at least it was the only truly objectionable experience during my time at the four Disney parks.

Very displeased with our Mickey pretzels and the amount of time it took to get them. They prefer you do mobile order, but we didn't get our pretzel until about 30-40 minutes after I ordered them on the app. The pretzel wasn't even good. It was hard and it wasn't warm.

After enjoying few more rides, we made our way over to The Lunching Pad. This is not a place to get all varieties of food, but more of a quick snack stop. Main offerings are: Hot Dog, Barbecue Pork Sandwich, and Mickey Pretzel. They had a couple more side items, and then slushy drinks. The item we wanted from here was the Micky Pretzel. That was the only thing we wanted, so we didn't have any issue with their limited offering. The pretzel was a pretty good size, not too large not small. And most of all, super cute!!! It came with cheese dip, but they have all the condiments like mustard nearby if you want other options. It was warm, fluffy, chewy and tasty! The cheese dip added additional substance to it, so it was a bit more filling than I thought. Yes, the price might be a bit on the high end, but then again, this is Disney World...

I had the cream cheese pretzel on my list from a friend who is a big Disney fan, so my boyfriend and I found the Lunching Pad after our Space Mountain FastPass. I wasn't thinking I'd like it that much, but the cream cheese was a nice sweet balance to the savory pretzel. There was a good amount of cream cheese inside to make it a filling treat that we shared. I would definitely order this again if I was looking for something on the sweeter side. I usually find the Disney pretzels to be a little dry for my liking, but the cream cheese really helped to distract from any potential dryness of the pretzel. Yum!

Quick and easy snack place at the Magic Kingdom. They are doing mobile order now so everything is done on your phone. There was no wait when our order was called. I was excited because it was the first truly warm food we were given which is a must for the cream cheese. The mickey pretzel also comes with a container of cheese. Maybe slightly tastier than your typical nacho cheese but still it's highly processed.

Jumbo hot dogs and cream cheese pretzels were delicious. Not my favorite place to eat just because its always crowded, but definitely convenient and near all of the Tomorrowland rides.

For Keto snacks this is a decent option. Mobile order a foot long hot dog, go easy on the sweet ketchup (I can't stand yellow mustard so I had to have a little ketchup) and keep going with the rides. It's not exciting but if you're just aiming to fuel up for the next ride, you'll be fine. Be sure to get some veggies later. They have basic sodas so I just refilled my water bottle.

I can't say much on the food there however the pretzels are amazing. They are fairly priced AND very filling. My husband and I could have honestly shared one. I've never waited more than 2 mins to order and get my stuff. I've always had excellent service and I am always able to find a table to sit at. Anytime I asked for a water cup they always gave me a BIG cup instead of the small kid ones which is a blessing in my eyes because of how expensive water is there and it's HOT. Back to the pretzels though, they always taste fresh and have lots of filling on the inside so you know what you're eating. I think if I had ONE complaint it would be that one time one of my pretzels seemed a little under done because it was doughy but no other issues. I love stopping here.

Pretty good for a light lunch or a snack. They've recently changed their menu and no longer offer Turkey Legs; instead, they now offer Specialty Hotdogs such a Taco Dog. They also have yummie Slushies (they change up the flavors often), and the Cream Cheese filled Pretzels are pretty darn good. They also offer bags of chips, a variety of muffins (the Chocolate Chip Muffin is wonderful), and a variety of fresh fruit. They have bottled water and fountain drinks, and for the little ones, they have apple juice, orange juice, milk, and chocolate milk. They do have outdoor seating, but it's definitely not in abundance.

If your looking for a quick snack, stop by; the menu offers pretzels, churro, and cookies. We had the Mickey shaped pretzel with cheese sauce (cheese sauce is an extra charge) and bottled water. The salt comes off the pretzel easily if you prefer no salt and the person your sharing with wants salt. They also offer frozen drinks to help cool you down. Seating is uncovered outdoor tables and stools. We were there after dark, but there were no umbrellas over the tables to offer shade during the day. If you want lunch or dinner, skip the Lunching Pad. The menu only offers a beef hotdog or pulled pork sandwich. The hot dogs at Casey's Corner on Main Street are MUCH better, and The Starlight Cafe is just steps away and offers a much greater selection, condiment bar, air conditioning, and restrooms.

A decent spot for a quick snack. I only get the cream cheese stuffed pretzel and churros here. A Disney hack: dip your pretzel into the chocolate sauce the churro comes with!

Looking for a Mickey pretzel and a slushy inside Magic Kingdom? This is the place to go. When it rains, all the outside vendors close and this place gets pretty busy with everyone seeking shelter. The food isn't amazing, but it does the trick while you're in the area between rides or if you're just trying to get a snack on the run. It is located close to many of the rides in Tomorrowland. There are lots of seats in the main area it's a good place for people watching and rest your feet after a long day in the park.

Don't use mobile order if you expect the staff to get it correct. By the time a "coordinator" showed up to fix my order the food was cold and they wouldn't do anything about it.

I've never had the food here only the Frozen Coke which comes with a Mickey straw. It's the most refreshing treat in a bright strong sunny day. It's a fairly new addition to this constantly changing menu. The food currently is very boring. Just a plain hot dog. With all the creative dogs on park property it seems like a waist to eat this one but maybe your craving a plain dog. However definitely try the frozen Coke. It's offered at a lot more locations. So nothing is permanent on menus but it's always available at the cool port and African outpost both located at Epcot. They don't cone with Mickey straws though.

I don't know why anyone would eat in Disney Tomorrowland but in case one is too lazy to walk to literally any other place in the park, I still would not reccomend this place. First of all, a $13 roast beef sandwich and $10 hot dog? Are you kidding me? This is just offensive. I know that Disney has a tencency to inflate all of their prices but it just irks me how people are willing to buy this stuff. $4 for a fountain beverage? I'll pass. The free "water cups" that they provide taste like sink water. It's either that or $3.50 for bottled water. The last thing I want to eat in the 80 degree Florida weather is salty, hot food but it seems like the colder options are not much better. My friend got the Frozen Coca Cola Slushy and said it was disgusting before throwing it out. It comes with a "candy straw" but what they don't tell you is that the straw it paper and disintegrates in liquid. (Spoiler alert: paper straws are unacceptable!) You could also purchase a $5.89 churro if you really hate yourself that much. But because most Disney churros taste disgusting I passed on this as well. I know that there really is no standard of quality in Disney world but this is really just insulting. Establishments like this work for stupid, lazy Disneygoers, but for me I would much rather walk to any other food stand in the park. Nice try.

Need a snack super quick? This is your place. I've had a hot dog and chips from here and it was ok but super overpriced. When a plain hot dog is the same price as a ham and cheese stuffed pretzel something's wrong. A friend split her ham and cheese stuffed pretzel with me and honestly, I'd rather have the hot dog again. Not a big fan, but it's a good place to great some cold drinks.

Great spot to pick up a coke (frozen or otherwise) and a dog or pretzel in Tomorrowland. I swear, some of these hateful reviews are mind boggling. You're at an amusement park, not a michelin star restaurant. Calm your tits, eat your pretzel, and move along. Oh, and by the way-the cream cheese stuffed pretzels are NOM.

The sweet cream cheese filled pretzels here are amazing! Also, this is the only place to get Coke icees!

It helps that this terrific hotdog stand is so close to two of my most beloved Magic Kingdom attractions-The Carousel of Progress and Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover. I've never tried Casey's on Main Street, but the dogs are out of this world(pardon the pun). For under $10, you get a giant hotdog(I'm not as adventurous when it comes to food as I am on rides, so I stick with the chilli dog, hold the cheese, add onions), a pack of potato chips and a drink. The chili is oh-so-spicy (without weighing you down and giving you that uncomfortable feeling that may hamper the balance of your day of fun) and the perfect topping for a snappy, erstwhile standard frank. WARNING- EAT SLOW, or you will experience heartburn...lol!

The Lunching Pad serves hotdogs and chips. We spent an hour on line for hotdogs and chips. How is it possible to be so slow serving hotdogs and chips? Cheetos are premium chips so forget about getting those on the Dining Plan. I must be living under a rock because I had no idea Cheetos were so high end.

The pretzels are hard. They ran low on mustard and the cast member was too busy standing and looking to acknowledge our condiment needs. Avoid it.

A walk-up hot dog stand in Tomorrow Land inside the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. The hotdogs are huge and served in a large bun and come with choices of toppings such as Philly Beef or Taco. You can also order a plain hot dog. Although overpriced, the price does include a drink and choice of chips or apple slices for less than $10. Not a bad deal in a place where you will find a lot of overpriced food.

Great junk food. Turkey legs, pretzels, hotdogs! Everything you need for snacking! A little pricey but not too bad

They went from out of this world hotdogs with amazing toppings like Chicago, Philly, Chili and more to a little tiny hotdog with ketchup. Same price though. Just ha heck of a lot less quality and food. CEO at Disney must be laughing his butt off on how stupid the masses are. Although you could never find a seat to sit in. Now it's not a problem.

If you like sweets, try the cream cheese pretzel! Recently, it was replaced with a caramel pretzel. I'm not sure if that's permanent or not, but it was also very good! I wouldn't necessarily recommend anything else on the menu, but it's your standard quick-grab.

Hot Dog Stand, Disney Style Haven't tried any of the dogs yet, but have stopped here a couple different times to grab a drink when walking around Tomorrowland. I like a little more variety in my menus, but if I'm in the mood for a hot dog I know where to go.

Great for a quick bite! The Coney Island hot Dog is the thing to get here! Is located under the Astro Orbiter.

Pretzels ok; icees ok. Lines can be long and they run out of food. You stand in a 15 minute line and the lady in front gets the last pretzel. Did they have more ready to go? Nope.

Overpriced. The Coney Island Dog is okay, wish they put more of the toppings on. They ran out of condiments in the middle of the day, so no ketchup or mustard at all. For $8-9, it's a rip off and you're better off eating elsewhere. But hey, that's Disney for ya.

Hot dogs were fine, but the ham & cheese pretzel was gross. It was totally doughy on the inside, and both were way overpriced. Just another disappointing food place at Disney.

It's okay for a quick meal, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for quality food. I was here today and it wasn't quite as good as I was hoping, but it wasn't terrible.

We ended up hitting Lunching Pad both our days at WDW during our last visit. After an hour or so going through the rides in Tomorrow Land it was a nice stopping point where we could get some drinks and pretzels. The pretzels were soft and just as salty as they should be and the service was quick.

Chips and cookie were great. Can't say the same for the coney dog and Philly dogs. The dogs were small and overcooked and the buns were so hard I had to throw mine away. Price for 6 dogs of over $50 is outrageous.
