We figured that a logical place to stop for lunch would be directly in between those two pavilions, in The Land.<\/p>\n<p>The quick service location in The Land is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/sunshine-season-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunshine Seasons.<\/a> Here, various stations serve a variety of food, some using ingredients grown right in The Land\u2019s greenhouses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-59906\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SandwichShopSunshineSeasons-400x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SandwichShopSunshineSeasons-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SandwichShopSunshineSeasons.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>Selections from\u00a0the\u00a0Sandwich Shop<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The stations include \u201cshops\u201d featuring Asian noodles, grilled items, sandwiches, soups, salads, a kids\u2019 zone, a bakery, beverages (alcoholic and non), both bottled and fountain, and a grab and go section.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all the stations, there is a section for people to pick up their orders if they have used Mobile Order. We did not get the chance to try Mobile Order on this trip.<\/p>\n<p>We arrived at about a quarter past 11:00 a.m., so there were tables available. At peak mealtime, this place can get very crowded. It\u2019s located in the same pavilion as the very popular Soarin\u2019 attraction, so many people stop for a bite before or after they ride. \u00a0As always in Walt Disney World, don&#8217;t forget to look up!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-59909 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SunshineSeasonsCeiling-400x320.jpg\" alt=\"Sunshine Seasons\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SunshineSeasonsCeiling-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SunshineSeasonsCeiling.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Four hot air balloons, one themed to each season<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We ate here on a previous trip, so I knew exactly what I wanted.

The succotash definitely had a kick but wasn\u2019t overly spicy. The green beans were prepared simply and tasted fresh.<\/p>\n<p>For dessert, our family shared a brownie from the grab and go section from the company OMG\u2026It\u2019s Gluten Free! I found this funny since no one in my family has a sensitivity to gluten. My husband simply saw the brownie and grabbed it without realizing it was a specialty item. It turns out it was also sugar free!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-59908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/GlutenFreeSugarFreeFudgeBrownie-400x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/GlutenFreeSugarFreeFudgeBrownie-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/GlutenFreeSugarFreeFudgeBrownie.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Gluten free and sugar free fudge brownie<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The brownie was rich, chocolately and fudgy, which was great for me but might turn off those who prefer a more cake like texture. It was sweet without being cloying. Those who are avoiding gluten and\/or sugar will hopefully find it satisfying.<\/p>\n\n<p>For a good variety fresh, substantial entrees, it&#8217;s hard to beat Sunshine Seasons.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you stopped at Sunshine Seasons?
