Lunch at Cookie’s BBQ

Cookie’s BBQ located on Castaway Cay is the main restaurant on Disney’s private island. There are two other dining locations: Cookie’s Too and Serenity Bay BBQ that also provide guests with meals during their visit on Castaway Cay. On our recent cruise in January 2020, we enjoyed a lunch at Cookie’s BBQ, which is the recommended location for all guests with special dietary needs (because it’s the location that accommodates pre-ordered meals). We always look forward to a BBQ lunch at Cookie’s!

*This gluten free and dairy free dining experience took place in February 2020. It includes information about fish/shellfish free, peanut free, cabbage free, hazelnut free, and chicken & turkey free option too.

Dinner at Regal Eagle Smokehouse

A salute to all foods, but mostly BBQ. That’s what we were looking forward to with the newly opened Regal Eagle Smokehouse in the America Adventure Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. Brandon and I had been both excited and a little worried to see what was in store for this quick service location that was once Liberty Inn. And, about a week after opening, we had a chance to check it out.
