Welcome to planDisney, Elmon! We are more than happy to answer all of your
Disney vacation planning questions. So let's get to it!
Some dining experiences at the
Walt Disney World Resort are just...special. The service, the food, and often the theming stand out at these locations. From signature dining and
character dining to unique dinner shows, they are some of my absolute favorite experiences at the resort. While I haven't tried them all, it's not for lack of trying. I hope you get to check off some of these from your list when you're there in August!
As you are already aware, some of the restaurants at the resort require that you use two of your table-service meals to dine using your
dining plan. While this list is subject to change and may not be exhaustive, these restaurants and dining experiences currently require you to use two meals on your dining plan:
And don't just look inside the theme parks and Disney Springs. Some of the best dining experiences can be found at the
Disney Resorts Collection Hotels. Here's the current list that requires 2 table-service meals at the hotels:
- Cítricos and Narcoossee’s at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
- Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
- Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
- Jiko - The Cooking Place at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
- Topolino’s Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera at Disney’s Riviera Resort (dinner)
- Flying Fish on Disney's BoardWalk
- Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort (currently closed for refurbishment)
You may be able to tell that
dining at Disney World is one of my favorite things to do. And if I were to choose some favorites from the above lists, it would be hard. But Jiko, Artist Point, Cítricos, and Narcoossee’s immediately come to mind and get my whole-hearted stamp of approval. But really, it would be hard to go wrong with any of the choices above.
If you have any other questions, dining or otherwise,
I'm happy to answer them!
Wishing you a full belly and an even fuller heart,
Matt
