Sommerfest

By Melissa — lives fifteen minutes from Walt Disney World and is in the parks most weeks

Who that is

Writer and presenter, Whistle While You Work

Melissa moved to Celebration, Florida, and stopped treating Disney as a once-a-year sprint. She is in the parks most weeks, films what she finds, and writes the pages here from that — plus the research it takes to check it. Her position, in her own words: Disney does not have to be perfect to be magical, and the goal was never to do everything.

The short answer

Sommerfest is the Germany pavilion's counter: a bratwurst at $12.69, a jumbo pretzel at $12.49 with obatzda cheese dip for $1.50, zwiebelkuchen at $9.79 and pretzel bread pudding at $4.79. There is no indoor seating and not much outside, so plan to eat on the promenade.

Is it worth the money?

Yes, for a quick German snack. Disney Food Blog calls the food traditional southern German favourites — bratwurst and gigantic pretzels — and says the line only gets long on really busy days. Its warning is seating: limited outdoors and none indoors, with more tables across the World Showcase promenade, and it suggests Regal Eagle or Connections Eatery if you want air conditioning.

Who it’s right for

Anyone after a bratwurst or a pretzel with a German beer.

Who it’s wrong for

Anyone who needs indoor seating.

What is actually good
