Pepper Market Food Court
You’ll feel like you are walking into an outdoor marketplace when you dine at the Pepper Market Food Court. This is not the usual food court that you are used to at other Disney Resorts. When you enter, you are seated in one of the 420 seats by your hostess. You will be given a ticket and then your family will check out the food offerings.
This bright and colorful marketplace is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and features different food stations.
Breakfast offers up breakfast burritos, omelets, bakery goods, fruit and more.
For lunch and dinner, choose from several different stations such as the Chef’s Station featuring fajitas, nachos and quesadillas. The Market Station offers up fresh sandwiches and salads. The Grill Station is the place to go for burgers, steak and ribs. The Hot Sandwich Station serves up selections like cheese steak sandwiches and tuna melts. You can order a selection of pasta and pizza at the Pizza Station.
If the kids don’t like any of the offerings, there is a special Kid’s Kitchen with chicken nuggets, hot dogs and pizza.
What’s great about the Pepper Market Food Court is the ability to mix and match! Go ahead and order fajitas with a baked potato. Or maybe nachos and a salad! There is also a selection of desserts and ice cream.
When you decide what to eat, you will hand your ticket over to the chef so they can stamp what you are ordering. Hold on to your ticket because you will pay after you eat.
There is a 10% gratuity added to your bill. If you plan on taking your meal outside to eat or perhaps to the lake, make sure to let them know it is “To-Go”. They will take the 10% gratuity off your bill.
