When to eat
- Plan your main meal at Explorer's Cafe.
- Eat lunch around 11 a.m., before the rush.
- Check hours in the app. Some restaurants close early or open only on busy days.
What to bring
- Pack a backup meal and ask Park Security or Guest Relations for approval at the gate.
- Bring an empty water bottle. Water is always allowed.
The All-Day Dining Deal
- The deal covers Explorer's Cafe, Calypso Bay Smokehouse, Hibisco, Manta Pizza and others. It does not work at Coral Market or the Pretzel Shop.
- Before you buy, ask a supervisor whether at least two participating spots have a vegan entree that day.
