Are you famished from a day of attraction hopping in Hollywood Studios? Maybe you left your Disney Resort at sunrise and hit Toy Story Land at rope drop or explored Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and other theme park attractions until you have worked up quite an appetite.
If you are searching for a value-priced quick-service dining option for lunch, you should meet my friend Catalina Eddie. Part of a larger dining spot called Sunset Ranch Market, this specific restaurant serves up pizza, salad, and more for Park Guests. Get your yum on at Catalina Eddie’s in Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park!
This quick-service dining spot is the perfect place to relax in the shade and enjoy a midday meal. You could also take your food on the go with the Mobile Order option available here. Regardless of where and how you enjoy your food, you’ll nosh on American favorites that are priced at around $14.99 and under for adults. Catalina Eddie’s is open for lunch and dinner daily. Let’s learn more about Walt Disney World dining.
This quick service spot is located on Sunset Boulevard. You’ll find this restaurant near classic attractions like The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, and Beauty and the Beast-Live on Stage. If you are looking to snap up some gifts for the folks back home or purchase some new Minnie ears for yourself, there are plenty of shopping opportunities close by. Namely, shops like Beverly Sunset Boutique, Once Upon a Time, Legends of Hollywood, and Sunset Ranch Pins and Souvenirs.
One of the things I love about Catalina Eddie’s is how centrally located it is near major attractions, fun shops, and other dining spots. A quick service option only feels speedy if you don’t have to trek across the Park to find it, and Catalina Eddie’s fits the bill. This walk-up window is great for shareable and on-the-go food in a laid-back environment.
Most families will tell you getting everyone to agree on a dining spot can be tricky. The great thing about dining here is that you don’t have to choose. Because this spot is so centrally located, your family members can order food from surrounding eateries and bring orders back to dine together at the pergola covered outside dining spot at Catalina Eddie’s.
Nearby eateries include Sunshine Day Bar, KRNR The Rock Station, Sunset Ranch Market, and Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company (try the Shakin’ Jamaican!). You can enjoy other foods like nachos and burgers or coffee and drinks from neighboring quick service spots and enjoy them all together at a meal.
Catalina Eddie’s is a quick-service dining spot that I like to visit for lunch and snacks. It serves up some shareable options and is a great spot for Guests dining on a budget in Disney Parks. You will enjoy classic pizza and salad at this spot. Though simple, we can assure you it will be delicious and affordable.
A popular entree is the Pepperoni Pizza which comes in at $11.29. Entree-sized pizzas at this spot are around 8” each and have a traditional fluffy crust. Pizzas are cut into 4 slices. A Cheese Pizza option is also on this menu ($10.79). Both of these entrees are served with a side salad included, making this a great value and a potential shareable eat depending on your appetite. If you are craving a fresh and cold lunch (We’ve all been there. Disney Parks are hot!), we suggest the Caesar Salad with Chicken.
To be honest, Catalina Eddie’s Caesar Salad with Chicken is one of my favorite Disney salads. Always fresh, cool, and crunchy, you get a healthy portion of greens in this entree, and it feels like a great deal for only $11.59. This salad is made the standard way with tender heart romaine lettuce. The salad is tossed with crunchy croutons, Parmesan Cheese, and tangy Caesar dressing. Lastly, the salad is topped with juicy herb-marinated chicken breast.

If you are looking for a shareable side that goes perfectly with this menu, try the Breadsticks. For only $4.99, you can add a side of breadsticks to share or enjoy as your main eat. My husband and I love sharing a Pepperoni Pizza entree, adding on an order of Breadsticks, and sharing the salad, bread, and pizza for only $16.58 total.
If you want to finish with something sweet, you’ll also find a rotating dessert menu and some seasonal sweet offerings at Catalina Eddie’s. Right now, you’ll find a decadent and light menu item that I cannot wait to taste on my next Disney vacation – the Enchanted Rose. This dessert rings in at $5.79 and is made with dark chocolate mousse with a taste of Blackcurrant and Morello Cherry-Chocolate shortbread cookie, whipped cookies’ n cream fluff, and gilded chocolate-covered cocoa nibs.
When the holidays roll around, you may see menu additions to include seasonal cupcakes or cookies. Seasonal cupcake offerings from past years in Parks like Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios have included yummy flavors like Butterfinger Cupcake, Carrot Cake Cupcake, and even an adorably decorated Candy Corn Cupcake.
The Halloween season in 2022 brought a fun Pumpkin Patch Cookie to the menu for only $4.29. Pumpkin fans will not want to miss this Pumpkin-spiced Snickerdoodle Cookie topped with Pumpkin-spiced Buttercream and Pumpkin Candies. Yep, this is one adorable instagramable treat you will want to try!
Catalina Eddie’s also has a kids’ menu where your little ones can order Pepperoni Pizza or Cheese Pizza for $7.59. Both kids’ options are served with a choice of two sides and a choice of small milk or small bottled water. Don’t forget, Disney allows adults to order off the kids’ menu, so if you are on a strict budget or just not that hungry, feel free to order a kids’ meal!
Dropping by Catalina Eddie’s for snacks and drinks when you are dining on a budget is a no-brainer. It’s also a great spot between attractions when you are not looking to invest the time into a table-service dining experience. Snag a meal at Catalina Eddie‘s, and you’ll be fueled and ready to scream down the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror or swirl with the green aliens in Toy Story Land!
