Dining choices at Disney?

Show all answers

You asked... I answered

On a day that you are in the Magic Kingdom hop the ferry and ride over to the Fort Wilderness Campground. It's only about a 15 minute ride, and then a short walk to the restaurant from the boat. They offer an all you can eat buffet at Trail's End, and it is relatively inexpensive. Before or after you eat you can head to the petting zoo. If you go for a late dinner you can hang around the campground and catch the free Disney movie that plays on a big outdoor screen every night.

Well personally I love the Crystal Palace at the Magic Kingdom.
In Epcot I always go to "China, Japan and Morocco." Those are my favorite restaurants.

Ohana at the Polynesian Resort has the BEST breakfast around! My family would seriously eat there for every breakfast if we could!!! It is a character breakfast, but the food is not buffet (which we hate) it's served family style - they bring everything to your table, as much as you want! The Polynesian is a short monorail ride from the Magic Kingdom, so you could do this the day you're at MK.

50's Prime Time Cafe and the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre are our favorite spots at the Studios. The theming is AMAZING at both of these restaurants, but the food is also amazing at the Prime Time Cafe (get the Pot Roast...YUM). The food is good at the Sci-Fi, and the theming (outdoors at a drive in, while sitting in car tables) is fabulous!

At Epcot we don't really do the sit down restaurant thing, we kind of travel the "world" and have something from all the countries. The nachos from the Mexico food stand are awesome, and the restaurant inside the Mexico Pavillion looks amazing, but I've never ate there. The food stand in England has Fish and chips that are really good. There is also a restaurant in England that's a sit down restaurant that serves the fish and chips as well as other English fare. I have ate here, and it's delicious.

The Beach Club Resort has an amazing restaurant called Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. They have burgers and ice cream galore. They even have a sundae called the Kitchen Sink. It has 8 scoops of ice cream, all the toppings, brownies, cookies and a whole can of whipped cream. Your girls would LOVE it! You can take a boat from International Launch at EPCOT (toward the back of the park) to the Yacht & Beach club Resort. I've posted a Youtube video of the Kitchen Sink.

For character meals, nothing beats Breakfast in Norway at Epcot. The food is great, and you see every princess except Cinderella. You can schedule a late breakfast, and call it lunch.

Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom has a monster buffet with characters. The food is decent, and everyon cna find something they like and really stuff themselves.

Wolfgang Pucks places in Downtown Disney are REALLY nice. A little pricey, depending on which door you walk into, but for lunch, do the cafe, they have pizza and his famous Macadameia Chicken.

1900 park faire is a pretty good Character breakfast too, but not as pleasant or intimate as Norway, and the food is average.

Do NOT do the burger stand in Epcot, it is terrible. Try Germany, Mexico or China.

Do NOT do the Cinderella ANYTHING in Magic Kingdom. Way overpriced, and the food is awful.

I thought about;
Character dinner at 1900 Park Fare (my girls chose it)
Epcot - Le Cellier for lunch or dinner
Studios - Sci-fi dine in theatre for lunch or dinner
Magic Kingdom - Pinocchios (its a tradition)

Lecelier and Sci-Fi are two good choices, in fact in my opinion Le Celier is the best One point restuarant on Disney property. Sci-Fi is more about the theming than the food but I think your kids will love it..

Some other options
Boma in Animal Kingdom Lodge is excellent
rather than character dining have you considered the Hoop De Doo revue dinner show?
Magic Kingdom I only like Pecos Bill or the taco stand by Pirates...

I love 1900 park fair. It is great. I have to agree with that gentlman above me the storybook princess breakfast in norway at epcot is really nice and your girls will see all the princesses.

what about cinderellas royal round table?

I love the german buffet (Biergarten) and the Japanese restaraunt is to die for! Yummmm!

The German buffet at Epcot is great and features live entertainment with an old style oompa band. My whole family loved the food and entertainment.
The Rain Forest Cafe has been a family favorite for us but the new dinosaur theme place in downtown Disney really topped it! You need to put that one on the schedule for sure!

Oh my God, I'm in Disney world right now!!
We are not really going to eat at disney that much because of the expensive prices.

I just got back from Disney. Some of the better restaurants we went to that both my children and my spouse and I liked are:

Spoodles on the Boardwalk (Mediterranean)
Coral Reef (Epcot)
Rainforest Cafe (Animal Kingdom) kids loved the indoor jungle and animated animals
Cape May Cafe (Beach Resort) great buffet
Boma (Animal Kindgom Lodge) had a great buffet, too.

We also went to the 50's Prime Time next door to the Sci-fi theatre. It was like sitting in a 50's kitchen eating homecooked meals.
Crystal Palace was fun with the characters - got lots of autographs.

I'm trying to think of the name of it....In Magic Kingdom in Future World there is a restuarant and I'm pretty sure it is called Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe that you might enjoy. They have the regular bugers, etc fanfare but there is an audio anamatronic alien in there at a keyboard that keeps the crowd entertained. The building is a monster but it's not fancy or blingy at all and is kind of easy just to ignore. But if you are at the teacups and start heading toward futureworld, it is the big building right in front of you just past the Enchanted Grove drink stand.

just me :)

I love your choices, great food at all those places. But keep in mind, the first day you are able to make reservations for Le Cellier, do it. ASAP. It is very, very hard to get a reservation. The only way you will be able to eat there on a walk in is if someone cancelled.

In fact, i recommend making reservations for all of them, well except Pinocchios because that's just fast food.

Also, check out Ohana's at the Polynesian Resort for dinner. The food is absolutely delicious, and I'm a very picky person. The atmosphere is great...hawaiian, with an open fire grill. The waiters are awesome and they even have coconut races for the kids. If you want, you can get up during dinner and learn the hula dance. It's great fun! (And you can see the castle out the window...if you make reservations late, you can watch the fireworks from the restaurant too...they dim the lights and play the music from the parks).

Have fun :)

sci fi is great!

san angel inn is great at epcot!

I don't know how old your kids are, but cinderella's royal table at magic kingdom...

coral reef at epcot..

liberty tree tavern at magic kingdom..

Irishprincess aka muffin+speedy

i agree with the above. There is one restaurant in the park in which the have the space mountain ride please avoid it it was so over priced and i got an upset tummy for the whole holiday. If you are at international drive try a restaurant called holahans. Its run by an irish american team and they do all you can eat for $15 and they welcome children also. The children will love their sundae bar where they can make their own sundae. Its by the Quality inn hotel and its a great resturant and the food is fantastic. Good luck with this
