Hey, Nicole! Thanks for stopping by planDisney to ask your question!
There is SO much great food to be found on the Walt Disney World property. I find myself eating outside of the parks more and more as I keep discovering new and great restaurants to eat at!
Depending on what you are looking for, I will give you some of my favorites. If your family wants to eat some good comfort food, I recommend
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’. Located in the heart of Disney Springs, this restaurant serves some of the best food I have ever had at Walt Disney World. From the hushpuppies to the fried chicken to the hummingbird cake, this restaurant does not disappoint! I also just learned that Homecomin’ will be offering a more “traditional” Thanksgiving dinner with smoked turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed taters, biscuit & a vegetable.
Another favorite of ours is
Olivia’s Café, located at the Old Key West Resort. I have never regretted ordering Captain Wahoo’s Catch of the Day. I have also heard rave reviews of their prime rib, and the Caesar salad can be ordered with shrimp in it, which was lovely. Finish up with a Banana Bread Pudding Sundae, and you have the perfect meal! (My mouth is watering just thinking about it!)
If you are in search of something a little fancier,
Narcoosee’s at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is wonderful! We have celebrated a couple of anniversaries there, and the food was top notch! I am a sucker for good Lobster Bisque, and I was thrilled with how delicious it was! The filet was tender and could be cut with a fork. We could also see Cinderella Castle all lit up at night from our table.
Some of my other favorite non-park restaurants include Boma (breakfast is my go-to there), Sanaa (you can’t beat the bread service appetizer), and California Grill (for the ultimate view of Magic Kingdom while you eat). I’m sure no matter what you decide, your family will eat well this Thanksgiving!
Please come back and visit us with other questions that come up as you finish up your vacation planning!
Happy Traveling (and eating),
Tracy
