What are the best dining options at Magic Kingdom?
”
Hi, Sylina! I guess the answer to this question depends on what type of dining experiences you are looking for, and what your family preferences are. I will run down a few of our family's favorite dining experiences at the Magic Kingdom.
The brand new Be Our Guest restaurant, opened in December, has quickly become one of our favorites. It is a table service restaurant at dinner, but lunch is more of a counter service experience. You'll eat in one of the rooms of Beast's castle, and the food has a French flair. Lunch features such menu items as Coq Au Vin, quiche, and a delicious turkey sandwich on a warm baguette. Dinner options include ratatouille, steak, pork chops, and a delicious shrimp and scallops dish.
For character dining, we love meeting with Pooh and friends at the Crystal Palace (characters are subject to change). This is a buffet dining experience, and you'll find a wide variety of menu items. A special kids' height buffet is also available here, with some kid friendly items such as chicken nuggets and mac and cheese.
Cosmic Ray's is a one stop counter service location. With something for everyone, this restaurant features "bays", each serving a different family friendly favorite. You'll find rotisserie chicken, burgers, pulled pork, salads, and sandwiches. Our favorite counter service is Columbia Harbor House, where you'll find some delicious seafood options.
I want to mention one other table service option. Liberty Tree Tavern is a great little location, with a wonderful lunch menu. Dinner is served family style, and is a selection of traditional favorites, such as turkey, beef and pork. It's quite good!
I hope this gives you some delicious options to choose from!
