Greetings Julie, and welcome to planDisney!
I am so excited to answer your question about
Coral Reef Restaurant at EPCOT. On one of my last trips to Walt Disney World Resort, I got to eat at Coral Reef, and I loved it! We were fortunate enough to get a table next to the aquarium, and most of my meal was just taking photos of the sea creatures. It is truly a fantastic experience even for the H2O intolerant.
I've had the EARidescent Key Lime Tart, and it is incredible! Your daughter has the right idea about needing to try it, or as my friend Squirt would say, "You rock, dude!" In my experience, you are always welcome to order just dessert from most dining locations at Walt Disney World Resort, including Coral Reef Restaurant. One of my family's favorite things to do is order drinks (may I suggest the EARidescent Sip-a-bration) and split a dessert.
Hopefully, this answers your question! Don't forget to book your
dining reservations. If you have difficulty securing Coral Reef Restaurant, check out my fellow panelist Diana's
tips and tricks for obtaining dining reservations.
Until then, "Just Keep Swimming" Julie!
