Welcome to planDisney, Vito!
I'm excited to see that you'll be visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth here so soon! You're visiting during EPCOT's Festival of the Arts, and some of my favorite dishes around the World Showcase are currently being offered! Don't miss the Beef Wellington at
The Craftsman's Courtyard. This blew me away, and I will 100% be eating this again... and again, and again. I cannot recommend a festival dish more than this one.
I'll give you a list of my personal favorite Table Service dining options that offer outdoor seating at each of the theme parks (and a few bonus outdoor dining experiences as well). Because you are a week out, you're going to have to see if there are advanced reservations available at each of these restaurants for your party's size. If there are not, join the walkup waitlist on the My Disney Experience App the day of, or visit the host desk in front of the restaurant the day of your visit.
At Animal Kingdom:
Tiffins or
Nomad Lounge. Tiffins is going to be a more full-service restaurant with delicious options (especially the seafood), and Nomad Lounge will have smaller plates available alongside their drink menu.
At Hollywood Studios:
Baseline Taphouse and Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge. Baseline specializes in drinks and only has a few small plate options. Brown Derby Lounge offers a scaled-down version of the regular Brown Derby restaurant's menu. You also do not need reservations to dine at either of these locations. They are walk-up only.
At EPCOT: Spice Road Table, Via Napoli Ristorante, and
Rose and Crown. These three offer very different cuisines and are lovely locations at which to eat. Their outdoor seating is great!
At Magic Kingdom: Tony’s Town Square Restaurant. A classic choice, but not my absolute favorite restaurant at Magic Kingdom. I would prefer to dine inside
Liberty Tree Tavern as I prefer the food to the outdoor seating offered at Tony's.
Some Bonus Outdoor Options: Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ at Disney Springs.
Geyser Point Bar & Grill at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Three Bridges Bar and Grill at Coronado Springs Resort. All three of these restaurants are perfection -- food and location-wise!
I hope you have a wonderful time at Disney World, Vito! It's sure to be delicious. If you have additional questions before your trip, give a little whistle to planDisney again!
