This fan-favorite consists of beer-battered fish served with a generous portion of crispy fries. While it may not be the cheapest option at EPCOT, it’s one of the best values for the portion size. You’ll often find a line at the counter, but it’s worth the wait. For around $11.99, you get a filling meal that will keep you fueled for your next round of attractions.

School Bread – Norway Pavilion

For those with a sweet tooth, EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion is a must-visit. The famous School Bread from Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe is one of the park’s most iconic snacks. This Norwegian treat is a cardamom roll filled with rich vanilla custard and topped with icing and toasted coconut.

At just $4.99, it’s a delightful snack that won’t break the bank but still delivers on flavor. Though not quite a meal, the School Bread is perfect for a quick pick-me-up between attractions.

Pizza – Connections Eatery

The relatively new Connections Eatery, located next to the Creations Shop in EPCOT, offers a great value with its pizza offerings. This quick-service spot currently serves up freshly baked pizza in three varieties: cheese, pepperoni, and Margherita. The real value comes from the fact that you don’t just get one slice—you get two!

For just $11.29 for the cheese pizza and $11.79 for the Margherita and pepperoni pizzas, this is one of the most filling and affordable meals at EPCOT. If you’re looking for a hearty lunch without breaking the bank, the pizza here is a perfect choice.
