Really? I find the ones at Epcot ok. Not the best I've ever had but certainly better than some I've had back home in the UK.

Hi There
Seems a lot of votes for Colombia Harbour House... I see mention of an upstairs and of it being a bit quieter ... does anyone know if this area is wheelchair accessible?

I must admit i only visited once last year but I didn’t see a lift or anything ,just stairs . I know the toilets were downstairs

I voted Columbia harbour house, love the shrimp and the quietness of upstairs. I would have said pecos bill until they changed the menu.

Columbia Harbour house is the first choice for us. Peco's bill is a fairly close second.

We found CHH on our first visit and keep going back. Its the first "in park" QS meal every year.
Peco's bills has improved tremendously since the menu was revamped.

I must admit we struggle with quick service restaurants at Magic Kingdom as vegetarians and healthy eaters . When we’re at MK we tend to just snack and eat table service at one of the resorts or offsite.

Be Our Guest used to be our favourite, especially for lunch, but we felt the quality and quantity had reduced last year so not in a rush to go back.

Columbia Harbor House is quite nice, but I voted for Tortuga Tavern because of their vegetarian rice bowl which was really good when we last had it a couple of years ago. Apparently it’s still available although not on the menu, so planning to ask for that this year. I also like their toppings bar and the location, it reminds me of my childhood trips .

I just looked at the Tortuga Tavern menu and it's just hot dogs, ribs and turkey legs. Are you sure they still do rice bowls? I haven't been to Pecos Bill since they switched the style of food with Tortuga Tavern (because Pecos used to do the best veggie burgers until then), but they do rice bowls and lots of items which could be made veggie or healthy by substituting a few things (switching meat for extra veggies or beans). They have a new taco filling of lightly breaded cauliflower with mango salsa, so I'll be trying that next time I think, with some (lots) of the fixing bar toppings. Looking at other quick service veggie options in the park: Tomorrowland Terrace QS now has a veggie burger, and Columbia Harbor House has got rid of the hummus sandwich, but still has veggie chili as a snack option. It also has a really (far too) healthy looking broccoli and mixed greens salad as a main.

Yes, we definitely had the rice bowls at Tortuga Tavern in 2015 but I think you’re right; I saw a video on Disney Food Blog yesterday mentioning that the rice bowls are now at Pecos Bill rather than Tortuga Tavern. I think the two places have changed menus a few times since we ate there and like you say, have almost swapped now from what they both served a few years ago.

So my vote should now be for Pecos Bill rather than Tortuga Tavern .

I think it’s a shame that several interesting / healthy / vegetarian options have been removed from the parks (especially Magic Kingdom). The Lighthouse sandwich was great. I think Disney often try to do more interesting foods (Skipper Canteen, Satu’li Canteen) and then end up bringing in burgers / nuggets etc because so many people just want to eat that when they’re in the parks.

It’s Sonny Eclipse who is an audio animatronic. He is an alien and sings cheesy songs. I think it is on pretty much all the time?
