Secret menus at Disney World are hiding in plain sight, and these are the items that guests can’t stop ordering lately!
Pao de Quiejo
Secret menu items are a fun find at Disney World restaurants and lounges all over property. While not every location has some, there are a few that do, and when you find them, it feels like a little scavenger hunt. It’s always worth asking your server if they do have any secret items because you’ll never know what you can find!
One of the more not-so-secret “secret” menu items can be found at Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom. The Pao de Queijo, or cheese bread, has been a favorite of ours here at Magical Guides for a while!

We’re talking about little balls of cheesy bread served alongside a poblano cream cheese and chimichurri sauce. POBLANO CREAM CHEESE?! These are SO good. We loved the sweet sauce with the slight heat from the pepper cream cheese. We don’t think it was too, too hot, so even those who are spice-aversed might enjoy it! The bread was super doughy, although not as cheesy as the Pao de Queijo we’ve had at EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.
ALL THE SAUCE
Over at Disney Springs, one popular quick-service restaurant is actually keeping a secret—a secret drink menu! The Polite Pig is known for its delicious barbecue, but next time you stop by, head to the bar for these drinks.
The Polite Pig
You’ll need to tell the bartender “the pig sent me,” and bam! You’ll get the secret drink menu right in front of you. There are three cocktails listed on the menu, including the D3 Private Flight, a Spiced Old Fashioned, and the Black Cherry Old Fashioned.

Next, over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you can find the Nomad Lounge right next to the signature restaurant, Tiffins. Hand-crafted cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic specialty drinks and small plates, are on offer. But because this lounge shares a kitchen with Tiffins, that also means you can order some secret menu items that you’ll find at the signature restaurant next door.

The Lobster Mac and Cheese is a hit, but you may not see it on the menu, so ask your server if it’s available. It’s made with chunks of lobster, shell noodles, and a homemade cheese sauce. We thought this dish was super flavorful!

While you’re at Animal Kingdom, head over to the Yak & Yeti for more secret menu drinks. There are four new secret menu drinks right now:

We recently tried the Blueberry Zen for $18, made with Tito’s Vodka, Cointreau, blueberry, lemon, pineapple, and orange citrate. The orange was really the star here! It tasted like the part of the orange where the orange ends and the rind begins. The vodka was subtle with a slight burn, and the pineapple and blueberry also had their moments to come through. The blueberry was not a main flavor, but the other ones were quite enjoyable together. It wasn’t as sweet as we might have preferred, and we wouldn’t call it a fruity drink, despite the description. That being said, if you want a simpler drink that’s pretty, this could be the one for you.
