Avalunch at Blizzard Beach: What to Order

Avalunch is the hot-dog counter at Disney’s Blizzard Beach, near Tike’s Peak, and it does not take reservations. If you are already on the little-kid side of the park, it saves a wet hike across the property. A fuller meal still belongs at Lottawatta Lodge.

Who Avalunch is for

Blizzard Beach is all quick service. There is no table-service restaurant and nothing to book 60 days out, so Avalunch never shows up on a dining calendar. You walk up, or you mobile-order.

It is the right counter for families camped at Tike’s Peak. Someone is hungry, the toddlers are in the splash zone, and Lottawatta Lodge is a real walk in wet shoes. A chili-cheese dog covers that hour. Seating is the catch: it is limited and shared with I.C. Expeditions. When both counters are busy, the tables run out before the food does, so ordering ahead matters more than which dog you pick.

A group that is actually hungry after a morning on the slides should still anchor lunch at Lottawatta Lodge. That counter is the meal. Avalunch is the convenient one.

What to order

Get the chili-cheese dog. It works as a simple lunch on this side of the park, and it sits lighter than a heavy plate right before Summit Plummet or Teamboat Springs. Avalunch’s lane is hot dogs with specialty toppings. Order the chili-cheese and go back to the chairs.

Plan the rest of the day by category, because individual huts open and close. Warming Hut, by Melt-Away Bay, runs seasonally. When it is closed, Cooling Hut nearby usually covers popcorn, a pretzel, or a Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar. Your plain meal is Lottawatta Lodge or Avalunch. Your cold reset is a frozen lemonade, an ice cream bar, or another cup of free ice water. The shareable treat, if the group can handle the dairy and the sugar, is the Sand Pail Sundae at I.C. Expeditions, on that same shared seating.

Hold Polar Pub until after the biggest slides. It is the park’s full bar, and alcohol service ends at 9 p.m. One frozen drink can be worth the stop. A string of sugary drinks in the heat is how the afternoon gets expensive and slow.

Mobile order and free ice water

Avalunch takes mobile orders in My Disney Experience, same as Lottawatta Lodge. Send the order from your chair and pick it up when the group is ready. That usually saves about five to ten minutes, and the time matters because those shared seats fill up.

Add a water to the cart every time. It arrives as a free cup of ice water. Pour it into an insulated bottle so it stays cold between slides. Bottled water and fountain drinks all afternoon can cost about as much as another meal. Free ice water at the quick-service counters is repeatable, and it is the easiest save in the park.

On the Quick-Service Dining Plan, bring the resort refillable mug. It works at Blizzard Beach beverage stations, so use it before you pay for a drink. If a specialty drink comes in a souvenir cup, ask whether the cup is optional. The plastic is sometimes a large share of the price, and it is awkward between wet chairs and a locker.

Check My Disney Experience before you leave the resort. Confirm Blizzard Beach is the water park open that day. In the off-season Disney often runs one water park while the other refurbishes, commonly Blizzard Beach in winter and Typhoon Lagoon in summer. Then confirm Avalunch is listed for mobile order. Place lunch before 11:00 or after 2:00, and agree on a spot by your chairs so the person carrying the food can find everyone.

How to use a Dining Plan credit

Avalunch accepts Disney Dining Plan quick-service credits, and some items can count as snack credits. Most food spots in the park work that way. Polar Pub is the one that does not offer snack-credit items.

Use a credit here when a hot dog solves the hour at Tike’s Peak. If the group is truly hungry and Lottawatta Lodge is open, put the credit on a wrap there and keep Avalunch as the backup. Order as if you still have slides ahead. A dog or a wrap is the right size before Summit Plummet.

The one thing to remember

Avalunch is worth it when you are already near Tike’s Peak. Mobile-order the chili-cheese dog, add the free ice water, and let Lottawatta Lodge carry the meal that has to last the afternoon.
