Stacy:
Although you can go to the
www.disneyworld.com site and search for dining by location and broad categories like Character Dining, you're right: you can't simply choose buffets. So I'll let you in on one of my favorite non-Disney sites on the internet for Disney dining information:
www.allears.net.
This site was recommended to me by a Disney planning book I bought at the bookstore when I planned one of my first Disney vacations, and I still use it to find information without having to wait for Disney's official site to load. From the home page, choose Walt Disney World, then Dining. From there, simply scroll down on the left-hand side of the page until you see its "Restaurants at a Glance" and the sub-category All-You-Can-Eat-Meals. Keep in mind that not all of the choices will be buffets, but will include restaurants that serve family-style meals where there are unlimited seconds like Garden Grill and Whispering Canyon.
I've eaten at over 60 restaurants at Disney, Stacy, so if you need recommendations, feel free to come back and visit me via my bio page!
