Blast off into Tomorrowland to try out the unique choices at The Lunching Pad! From stuffed pretzels to mango cakes, this dining location had out-of-this-world treats.

The lunch and dinner menu includes signature hot dogs like the Bahn Mi Hot Dog and the Queso Fundido Hot Dog. Guests can find the complete menus on the My Disney Experience app.
Both menus feature the iconic Mickey Pretzel and a Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel, which we highly recommend. There are also signature sweets at The Lunching Pad, like the new Mike Wazowski Cake. This Orange Blossom-Mango Mousse Cake with Candy Eye pairs beautifully with the Sully Slushy found at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, another Tomorrowland favorite. TikTok user @outthere.tok shows the dynamic Tomorrowland dessert duo in their video.
@outthere.tok The Mike Wazowski Cake made its debut today at the Lunching Pad in Magic Kingdom and while it is definitely an interesting snack on its own we paired it with the veteran Sully Slush located at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland. We definitely preferred the slush, but advise adventurous Disney snackers to give the Mike Cake a try. #disneyadult #disneyfoodie #magickingdom
