Hi Richard,
Welcome back to planDisney! It’s always wonderful to see Guests like you return to us time and again for your Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line vacation planning questions. We truly love helping you plan unforgettable moments for your family, and I’m honored to be part of your son’s special celebration.
First, an early happy birthday to your son! Growing up, my Disney vacations often lined up perfectly with my birthday, and I can still remember how special it felt to celebrate with my favorite meals and favorite people at the Most Magical Place on Earth. You’re creating memories that will last a lifetime!
Since your son is looking for steak and lobster to mark the occasion, I have several fantastic recommendations for you:
- Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is my personal favorite for a celebration meal. The menu offers exceptional steak and seafood options, and the setting is simply stunning. Time your reservation with the Happily Ever After fireworks for a truly unforgettable evening. The restaurant even pipes in the music, and you can step outside onto the private dock for an incredible view of the show.
- Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is a classic steakhouse known for its top-tier cuts and elegant atmosphere. I love grabbing a pre-dinner drink at Crew’s Cup Lounge next door and finishing the evening with a sweet treat from Beaches & Cream Soda Shop just steps away.
- Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a sleek, modern option with delicious steaks and upscale comfort food. It’s also just a short walk or monorail ride to Magic Kingdom, making it a great option for a park day celebration.
- Bourbon Steak at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is newly opened, so I haven’t had the chance to dine here yet, but it’s already a favorite among Guests who enjoy fine dining. Its contemporary setting and elevated menu make it a fantastic choice for an extra-special night.
- Le Cellier Steakhouse in the Canada Pavilion at EPCOT is another option if your son would like a twist on classic surf and turf. This intimate steakhouse offers an incredible Lump Crab Oscar or Truffle Scallops to pair with their signature filet.
Each of these restaurants delivers an outstanding dining experience, and you truly can’t go wrong. Your decision may come down to location, ambiance, or even which appetizers sound the most tempting!
I hope this helps you plan a practically perfect birthday dinner for your son. If you’d like even more celebration tips, feel free to send another question my way. I’d be happy to share ideas for park treats, special extras, or anything else that could make his day even more unforgettable.
See you real soon,
Brent
