Jake Kleckner, a former Disney World cast member who worked in Frontierland, told Business Insider that most cast members' lunch breaks weren't long enough to allow frequent trips to park restaurants.
"We don't really have enough time to get out of our costume, run up into the park, get something to eat, and eat it," he told Business Insider. Those task would take an hour, he estimated. "We only have a half hour," he said.
Still, he said that "experiencing new restaurants" and "new food" at Disney was one of his favorite activities.
"A lot of my financial irresponsibility was due to me wanting to eat all the different food at Disney," he said. "I was always the one being like, 'Hey guys, let's make a reservation for this restaurant at this time.' And people would be like 'Why?' And I'd be like, 'Because I want to go. Let's just go eat something cool.'"
"I would also be the first one to get in line at Casey's for a foot long hot dog. Those are the ones that are so expensive," Kleckner said.
When it comes to his absolute favorite park chow, Kleckner called himself a "big softie" for choosing a Frontierland staple: Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café.
Entrees at the Old West-style saloon range from a veggie rice bowl for $9.99 to a fajita platter for $14.99.
"If someone told me, 'You can only eat at one restaurant at Disney for the rest of forever,' I would say, 'Okay. Pecos Bill it is, I guess,'" Kleckner said. "I love being in there, eating the Tex-Mex food, and being in Frontierland. I am such a nerd for Frontierland now."
