Hi Travis,
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for asking about where to dine at Walt Disney World. Put the words "Disney" and "eat" in the same sentence, and my brain is off and running about the best places to recommend.
There's not enough space here -- or maybe on the whole internet -- for me to share all my thoughts on the dining options available to Walt Disney World guests. So I'll give you a few of my favorites and point you to some resources where you can explore deeper.
- Favorite quick serve/counter service in the theme parks: Flame Tree Barbecue, Satu'li Canteen, Katsura Grill and Columbia Harbour House
- Favorite table service in the theme parks: Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen, Hollywood Brown Derby, Tiffins, Via Napoli and Biergarten
- Favorite table service restaurants in the resorts (casual): Grand Floridian Cafe, Boma, Sebastian's Bistro, Olivia's Cafe and Sanaa
- Favorite splurge or celebration dinner: Flying Fish, Jiko, California Grill and Jaleo
- Favorite place to eat al fresco: Geyser Point Bar & Grill, The Boathouse and Three Bridges Bar & Grill
- Favorite no-reservation-needed spots at Disney Springs: eet by Maneet Chauhan, The Polite Pig and Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar
- Favorite table service at Disney Springs: Morimoto Asia, Frontera Cocina and Wine Bar George
- Favorite lounges that serve food: Nomad Lounge, Bar Riva, Baseline Tap House, Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar and Steakhouse 71 Lounge
- Favorite day of noshing: Any time we can sample tastes and sips from the food kiosks at an Epcot festival (Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden, Food & Wine and Festival of the Holidays)
That's a pretty long list, filled with a variety of prices, cuisines and styles. And I know I've forgotten a number that my family has come to love over the years. But I hope that's a good starting point for you.
You will find a complete list of
all Walt Disney World dining locations here. You can filter the list by type, location, cost, cuisine, reservations or dining plan and more. You will find menus for all the restaurants linked from their individual pages.
To make dining reservations, which you can do 60 days in advance, go to the
advanced dining reservations section of the website or click Check Dining Availability in the My Disney Experience Mobile App.
I recommend having one table service reservation per day so that you have time set aside to sit, relax, recharge and enjoy conversation with your family -- and to savor some scrumptious food.
There's so much more I wish I could share, Travis. After you've had a look around at the dining options, please check back with us if you have more questions.
Happy dining!
Wilma
