I Ordered One of the Cheapest Snacks at Disney’s Polynesian Village Hotel — Here’s What I Loved About It

[Disney4me]

With all the dining options available to you at Disney World, sometimes it can be a challenge to find the best bang for your buck.

Capt. Cook’s

If you’ve never hopped over to one of the resort restaurants on the property, you’re seriously missing out on some tasty bites that won’t leave your wallet completely empty. For example, when we get the chance, we love stopping by Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and ordering one of the cheapest snacks on the menu: the Pulled Pork Nachos. If you’re looking for a snack (or even a small meal) that goes beyond the usual fries or chicken tenders, these nachos might be exactly what you need. So, let’s talk about what makes these nachos worth grabbing on your next visit!

As we were saying, if you’re looking for a snack that isn’t the usual theme park fare, you definitely need to give the Pulled Pork Nachos from Capt. Cook’s a try! And at $10.99, you might want to grab seconds.

What’s on These Nachos?

First things first: these aren’t your typical nachos. Instead of regular tortilla chips, Capt. Cook’s switches things up with a mix of crispy fried wontons and house-made chips. This combo alone is a game-changer—super crunchy, slightly airy, and the perfect base for all the toppings.

Speaking of toppings, these nachos come LOADED. You get a generous portion of pulled pork, melted cheese, spicy mayonnaise, pico de gallo, and pineapple salsa. That mix of flavors is what makes this dish stand out. The sweet BBQ sauce on the pulled pork combined with the tangy pineapple salsa is such a perfect match. The crispy chips add a great contrast to the juicy, tender pork. It’s a balance of textures and flavors that makes each bite super satisfying.

The Flavors That Work (And One That Misses)

Overall, we really enjoyed these nachos. The pulled pork is smoky and flavorful, and the addition of the pineapple salsa gives it a sweet, tropical kick that fits right in at the Polynesian. The cheese is warm and gooey, which is always a win, and the fried wonton chips hold up well under all the toppings without getting soggy too fast.

Now, let’s talk about the spicy mayo. If you’re expecting a real kick of heat, you might be disappointed. It’s more creamy than spicy, so don’t expect any serious fire here. It does add a nice richness, but if you’re looking for that heat, you might want to ask for some extra hot sauce on the side.

The pico de gallo is another element that could be improved. It’s fresh and adds a bit of texture, but it doesn’t pack a lot of punch in terms of flavor. It’s mostly just there to add a little extra crunch, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn’t stand out the way the pineapple salsa does.

Is It Worth Ordering?

Absolutely. If you’re looking for something different from the usual quick-service options, the Pulled Pork Nachos are a solid choice. They’re flavorful, filling, and fun to eat. Plus, at $10.99, they feel like a pretty decent deal compared to other Disney snacks that can run you way more for way less food.

We know that things like the Pineapple Cupcake and Chocolate Croissant are a little less expensive, but overall, the nachos are more unique, more filling, and a better value for the price!

Would we order them again? Definitely. They’re great for sharing, they’ve got a unique mix of flavors, and that sweet-and-savory combo really works. If you’re at the Polynesian and want something tasty without spending a fortune, this is a snack worth trying.
