The sandwiches come in a variety of options, including turkey and cheese and other traditional options, and are served on a salty pretzel roll. Guten Appetit! Fried Green Tomato Sandwich at DisneylandFound at the Hungry Bear Restaurant, a wilderness themed quick service dining option, the fried green tomato sandwich is a unique menu item that tempts the taste buds. Imagine, if you dare, fried green tomatoes smothered in cornmeal, red tomatoes, havarti cheese and remoulade, all served on a multi-grain roll. Sounds like the wildest dine in the wilderness! Waffle Sandwiches at the Magic KingdomIn Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square, a small walk-up dining option called “Sleepy Hollow” has begun offering something sweet; waffle sandwiches. The sandwiches come in three varieties including nutella and fresh fruit, sweet and spicy chicken, and ham with prosciutto and Swiss cheese. The waffles are of considerable size and are both sweet AND crunchy, and are freshly made when you order. Hummus and Grilled Chicken Wrap at Morey’s Raging WatersAt Wreckers Beach Grill at Morey’s Raging Waters, you can dine on a lighter theme park food option. The new Grilled Chicken and Hummus features homemade hummus, tzatziki sauce, cucumbers and tomatoes and is served with a side of pita chips. Probably the healthiest of the nominees, this wrap is perfect for the health-conscious or for a light lunch on a hot day! Follow TPF on TwitterFollow TPF on PinterestLike TPF on Facebook
