Hiya, Tina! I'm so excited to help you plan your milestone birthday celebration! I've got some ideas for you that I hope you're gonna love.
Walt Disney World has so many really
wonderful restaurants, so you'll have quite a few to choose from. When you're browsing the list of available dining experiences, you're going to want to filter to those
signature dining experiences.
While none of them require "formal" attire, there are definitely some where you won't feel like you stand out if you get a little bit dressier. To start with,
California Grill at
Disney's Contemporary Resort is always a good option for something a little fancy. Located at the top of the resort, you'll have panoramic views of the entire resort area, and if you happen to time your meal just right, you'll be able to catch the fireworks from
Magic Kingdom.
Another one of my favorites is
Citricos, located at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. The restaurant is whimsically themed after Mary Poppins, but the resort and the restaurant both have an elegant atmosphere.
And speaking of elegant atmosphere,
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera, which is located at
Disney's Riviera Resort, was inspired by European cliffside restaurants. The food here will transport you to either Italy or France, depending on your mood for the evening, and the service has been impeccable on each of my visits.
I hope that's a good starting point for your planning, Tina. If there's anything else I can help with, I do hope you'll come back to visit. And until November, have a very merry UN-birthday!
Anna
