    Is there still cafeteria dining in the value resorts?

    Welcome to planDisney, Donna!

    Not only is there great cafeteria-style dining at all Walt Disney World Value Resort Hotels, some of my favorites are found right there! Let's take a look at options.

    These food courts will provide everything from breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, drinks, and snacks--and they'll do it deliciously. They all have ample seating, lots of dining variety, and you can even charge your meals to your room account if you'd like. Even easier? Wear a MagicBand+ and with a tap of the wrist(band), you're good to go!

    As a dining example, over at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort you'll find World Premiere Food Court. Mickey Waffles at breakfast? They've got 'em. Looking for something lighter? How about a Yogurt Parfait or a plant-based Vegetable Breakfast Quesadilla? At dinner, you'll find some comforting burgers, sandwiches, and pizza--all fantastic, by the way--but you'll also see a vegetable stir-fry, mojo-roasted chicken, salmon, and a Greek salad among other options. So much to choose from--you'll want to dine here again and again.

    Other Value Resorts have food courts that are just as impressive, and the menus differ slightly from place to place. When I visited Disney's Art of Animation Resort, I was so impressed with the offerings at Landscape of Flavors. Fish and chips, a patty melt, butter chicken--all just a bit deliciously different from what you might find elsewhere.

    To see what each food court offers, just head to the specific hotel's webpage and click on the Dining tab. From there, you'll see the restaurant you're looking for and can click on View Menu to check out options. (I shouldn't be writing this at dinnertime...now I'm craving a Blues Burger from Intermission Food Court!)

    Donna, if your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth includes a stay at a WDW Value Resort Hotel, those food courts will deliver you delicious meals every day. As you plan your stay, be sure to send additional planning questions our way. We love to help!
