Best Totchos At Disney World

What are the best totchos at Disney? We sampled dozens of variations on our last trip. Here are the ones that we’re still talking about!

Totchos are having a moment at Disney World, and we are here for it! What’s not to love about crispy, salty tater tots topped with everything from bacon and melted cheese to scrambled eggs and chili con carne? You can find them on dozens of menus, but what are the BEST totchos at Disney World??

I wasn’t a totcho lover before I noticed them popping up all over Disney menus. Curiosity finally got the best of me, and we set out to try as many variations as possible on our last trip. As I discussed many times in my posts about saving money at Disney, sharing meals is one of our favorite ways to save money, and you’ll be happy to know that many of these were very generous in size and very sharable!

My daughter made an excellent point about sharing meals. I often talk about how much money it saves, but it also helps you feel better. Eating a heavy meal before spending a day at the parks, especially when it’s hot, sets you up for failure. You’ll be ready for a nap, and that’s not the energy you need for a busy day at the parks! If you want a big meal, that’s a great way to end the day.

By no means am I saying totchos are a healthy choice, but sharing them – not overeating – is a great way to indulge a bit without feeling yucky. We’ll usually share fresh fruit to round out the meal. Since most kids’ meals come with a mandarin orange, I typically have one or two in my bag, so we’re not even paying for the fruit. These little choices save money, help you feel better, and have more energy throughout the day.

This list is very small compared to the dozens of totcho variations on Disney property. Our next trip is nine months away, and I’m already compiling another list to try! If you have a favorite, comment below so I can add it to my list. I’ll tell you one thing. This has inspired me to make my own totcho creations at home. Be sure you’re following me on Instagram, where I share cooking videos almost daily over stories!

Now, without further adieu, let’s drive in!

Loaded Totcho Bowl $10.99

Roaring Fork

This was the most basic combination we tried on our last trip, and I don’t mean basic in a bad way. There’s nothing not to love about potato barrels, scrambled eggs, cheddar, sausage gravy, bacon, and green onion. This is the version you will find on most menus. We loved it!

This bowl is enormous and the largest one on this list. At just $10.99, this is an incredible value! The sausage gravy was plentiful without being too much, the sharp cheddar added a nice flavor, and I loved the scallions. In fact, after this bowl, I started asking for extra scallions whenever I could. I love the pop of freshness that they had.

When I first saw the bowl, I thought the bacon would be an issue. As I get older, thick-cut bacon hurts my sensitive teeth. Sometimes, it simply doesn’t get crispy. Instead, it’s hard to chew, at least for me. There’s a LOT of bacon on top of this bowl, so I was pleasantly surprised by how light and crispy it was. We thoroughly enjoyed this bowl. It was absolutely delicious, hearty, and shareable!

Breakfast Bowl $10.79

The Lunching Pad

After seeing several Disney foodies rave about this bowl and declare it the best totchos at Disney, I couldn’t wait to try it. Once again, we start with the base of super crispy and perfectly salted tater tots. If nothing else, Disney knows how to do tater tots. Whether in a taco bowl or as a side dish instead of fries, they’re always fried to crispy perfection and never undercooked.

This bowl is unique because it’s topped with a cheese omelet instead of scrambled eggs. Then, it’s bathed in chili con carne queso and a dollop of sour cream. The combination of flavors was truly delicious. The chili con carne was giving pico de gallo vibes, so I appreciated the pop of freshness. We also enjoyed the creaminess that the sour cream added, and the only thing we would change is that we wish there were more of it.

I first noticed its smaller size, but don’t let that fool you. This one is very filling, flavorful, and unique!

Breakfast Totchos $10.99

Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery

Location: Animal Kingdom > Africa
Dining Plan? No
Mobile Ordering? No
Open: Breakfast
Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery Menu

We’ve already reviewed this one on the site, and it remains a favorite, especially if you like cheese curds. While this one isn’t as shareable on its own, we will also do this with a honey croissant and African coffee, all from Kusafiri.

Crispy tots are topped with scrambled eggs, cheese sauce, crispy bacon, scallions, and cheese curds. There’s lots of cheese going on in this one between the cheese sauce and curds, so if you’re a cheese lover, you’ll love it! While I’m not usually a fan of cheese curds, I enjoyed the texture they added to this bowl, especially when you get a bite of everything together. They’re also high in protein, which is always going to help keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Pro tip. As you stroll through the parks and resorts, you’ll notice that many restaurants have beautiful, ample seating that is practically empty before they open. I was blind to this for years until I wasn’t, and now we can almost always find quiet and peaceful seating away from the crowds by taking advantage of open seating areas and restaurants that haven’t opened for service. Kusarifi has very little seating, so we always head to the covered seating right next door outside Tusker House. My other favorite areas at Magic Kingdom are Harambe Market, which is always empty in the morning, Flame Tree BBQ (tons of seating towards the back), and the outdoor amphitheater across from Everest. This used to be the viewing area for the Rivers of Light show, but it hasn’t been used for years. It’s one of our favorite spots to relax!

Kilimanjaro Bowl $10.79

The Mara

Location: Animal Kingdom Lodge
Dining Plan? Yes

Open: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
The Mara Menu

Like the Wilderness Lodge bowl, it starts with a ‘mountain’ of potato barrels topped with scrambled eggs, sausage gravy, cheddar, bacon, and chives. But the chakalaka makes this one unique, and it’s a total flavor bomb!

What is chakalaka?

It’s a spicy South African condiment typically made with tomatoes, onions, peppers, vegetables, and beans. Disney’s version was tomato-heavy and so flavorful! We asked for an extra side, and they were happy to oblige. Trust me when I say you will want more!

It’s hard to pick a favorite out of all these bowls. If a dish makes it to the blog, we loved it. If I were forced to choose a favorite, the Killamanjaro Bowl is the best totchos at Disney! I love big flavors and a good sauce, and the chermoula sets this one apart. It adds brightness, complexity, and a little heat. It was delicious! As for value, it’s similar in size to the bowl at Wilderness Lodge – very large and shareable at just $10.99.

“Totchos” $10.49

Woody’s Lunch Box

Location: Hollywood Studios > Toy Story Land

Woody’s Lunch Box Menu

Woody’s has a breakfast totcho bowl and a lunch totcho bowl. Since we had already tried so many breakfast bowls, we opted for the lunch version, and I’m happy we did. Crispy tots are topped with beef and bean chili, shredded cheese, signature queso with tomatoes, corn chips, and finished with sour cream and green onions.

This one is savory, hearty, and flavorful. I loved the textures with the addition of crunchy corn chips and creamy beans. The only thing I would change is the way it is served. I’m very particular about food being challenging to eat, and this is served in a small bowl, which doesn’t allow for an even distribution of the ingredients. It was awkward to eat but still delicious!

Breakfast Bowl with Bacon or Sausage $13.49

Yak & Yeti™ Local Food Cafes

This is another one I’ve already reviewed on the site, and it’s one of my all-time favorite breakfasts at Disney World! While it’s not a totcho bowl, it’s similar enough, and I thought I’d throw in a healthier option. Instead of fried tater tots, the base is breakfast potatoes, and they’re topped with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, pepper, onions, and a choice of bacon or sausage. This bowl is huge, flavorful, and filling!
