The Downtown Disney® Marketplace is one of the top places at the Walt Disney World® Resort to spend your money with its plethora of shops and dining establishments, but you can still have a budget-friendly day here if you plan wisely. One way to do so is to hit up the quick service establishments, which are all around the Downtown Disney® Area, particularly in the Marketplace. Here, you will find a quick service restaurant for everyone in the family all in the same vicinity, whether you are craving wholesome All-American food, something to quell your sweet tooth or are looking for something a little different.

For those that are in need to something sweet, there are two options in the Downtown Disney® Marketplace, the Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop and Goofy’s Candy Company. The Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop is divided into two separate parts – a retail store and an ice cream shop. In the retail store, you will find bag after bag of the famous Ghirardelli chocolates in their signature flavors, along with espresso drinks and Ghirardelli baking products as well. The adjacent ice cream shop is where the guests can really quell their sweet tooth, however, as a variety of ice cream treats, such as a standard waffle cone dipped in chocolate to a milkshake or float, along with Ghirardelli’s signature ice cream sundaes, are offered. Goofy’s Candy Company, on the other hand, has treats of another kind. Here, you will find bin after bin filled with every kind of candy you can think of! And, you can also get treats such as Walt Disney World® Resort signature fudge or you can custom-build your own candy/caramel apple, rice crispy treat and more to include your own favorite toppings!

If you are looking for more of a meal than a snack, there are also two restaurants in the Marketplace, McDonald’s and Wolfgang Puck Express. McDonald’s affords guests the opportunity to have a Happy Meal at the Happiest Place on Earth, while Wolfgang Puck Express offers cheaper alternatives to the dishes at the Wolfgang Puck full service restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner that are still a cut above regular quick service meals. While these quick service restaurants may be a few dollars extra that what you would expect to pay back home, both offer great menu options and will get you back on your feet shopping in no time!
