Leaning Palms

by | Sep 4, 2025 | Dining, Walt Disney World

After catching waves and floating the lazy river at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, you’re bound to work up an appetite — and that’s where Leaning Palms comes in. This quick-service spot near the park’s entrance is the largest dining location in the water park and offers a tropical-inspired menu with a little something for everyone. From burgers and flatbreads to plant-based bowls and icy drinks, Leaning Palms is a chill and convenient place to refuel without ever leaving your flip-flops behind.

Leaning Palms Location

You’ll find Leaning Palms just to the left after entering Typhoon Lagoon, across from the Singapore Sal’s gift shop. It’s a shaded, open-air spot with plenty of outdoor seating — most of it under cover — making it a great place to escape the sun (or a summer downpour) while you enjoy your meal.

Leaning Palms Menu

The menu here is all about theme park-friendly favorites with a tropical twist. You’ll find classic crowd-pleasers like cheeseburgers, chicken strips, and pepperoni flatbreads, alongside options like jerk chicken rice bowls and Impossible™ burgers for plant-based eaters.

It’s also one of the best places in the park for cold treats and refreshing drinks, including frozen lemonade, beer, and specialty cocktails. And for dessert? Giant chocolate chip cookies or tropical fruit cups help sweeten the deal.
