Living In Disney World Archives - Page 6 of 13

There are so many choices when it comes to restaurants in Disney World. I am on a mission to try every one of them! Hahaha! But at this point I have lots of favorites and it's hard to go to new places because I just want to keep eating at these. Whether it's for the food, drinks or ambience there are lots of reasons to love all the restaurants in Disney World. So let's dive in and check out all my favorites in each Disney park! Magic Kingdom I'll be honest here, Magic Kingdom out of all the others is not my favorite when it comes to food. The quick service options are not the best and there really aren't a ton of table service options either. BUT we do have a couple of favorites in MK and they not only have great food but great atmosphere too! Plus, table service restaurants are the only places in Magic Kingdom you can partake of any kind of mommy juice! Be Our Guest Eating in the Beasts castle is just a cool experience in and of itself. You can see the West Wing with the enchanted rose and the slashed painting, a room with a giant music box with Belle and the Beast on top and you can see it snowing out the window in the main dining room. It is truly beautiful! The Beast walks through from time to time and you can meet and take pictures with him in the library. The food here is delicious and it will forever hold a special place in my heart because t is the first place in Disney World that we ate after Sawyer was diagnosed with Crohn's when he was 7. They treated him like a king and made sure he had everything he wanted within his dietary requirements and even brought him the drink he wanted, that they did not actually carry there, on a silver platter! Skipper Canteen This is one of my all time favorite restaurants! It is a Jungle Cruise themed restaurant with some of the best food in my opinion! One of my favorite features in the SEA room in the back (Society of Explorers & Adventurers), you can find artifacts form the Adventurers Club and the Butterfly Table. The Butterfly Table has a collection of butterflies that include some of Lillian Disneys personal collection. They have delicious cocktails and Sawyer loves their friend chicken that is gluten free! EPCOT There are SO many great restaurants in Epcot and I am sad to say I have not eaten at a lot of them. Honestly we usually hit up the festival booths or the quick service when we are in this park. Plus these restaurants are not cheap, most of them are worth it but not cheap. Le Cellier This is the steakhouse in Canada and it is mouth wateringly delicious! It is definitely expensive but the food is top notch. We went here for the first time to celebrate me coming home after my 3 week dance work trip this summer and it was well worth it! It is a very fancy and dark vibe inside, like being in a castle. The boys felt very fancy and loved the kids meals. Spice Road Table This is in the Morocco pavilion and it is amazing! The best Mediterranean food and such a pretty setting, I love when I can go and sit here on the water to work or write the blog. The dolmas are my favorite but the hummus fries are a strong second. The nice thing here is that you can order a bunch of small plates to try a lot of different things. Hollywood Studios This has been my favorite park since I was a kid and eating here has been part of it! I do like the quick service options here, there seems to be better variety and they are nicely spread out. There may not be a ton of restaurants here but the ones that are won't disappoint. The Hollywood Brown Derby Not gonna lie, I could eat here everyday! It has the coolest atmosphere with all the celebrity caricatures just like the real Hollywood Brown Derby! If you can't get a reservation you can always check the walk up at the outside lounge that as basically the same menu. They have delicious cocktails and the Cobb salad will change your life, I get it every time I go and if I don't I wish I did! Animal Kingdom You can find some really great quick service options here in Animal Kingdom but the table service is where it's at! Especially if you are an adventurous eater, there are some great ethnic restaurant options here but they of course have great options for the not so adventurous eater as well. I am not going to include Nomad Lounge since it is a lounge and not a table service restaurant but just know it is amazing and you should not miss it! Tusker House This is a character meal in the Africa section where you can meet Mickey and friends in their safari best. This is also a buffet where there are lots of African inspired dishes as well as typical American dishes as well. We always have the best character interactions here and I love that we can try so many different things. Yak & Yeti You can find Yak & Yeti in Asia and it is such a vibe! There are genuine Asian items all over the restaurant and the menu is awesome. You can find fun twists on Asian cuisine as well as some less exciting dishes if you're a boring eater. Haha, just kidding! This is also a Landry's restaurant so if you are a rewards member with them you can use that here. Disney Springs It's hard to know where to start with Disney Springs! There are so many options and most of them are fantastic. I feel like list of what places to avoid would be shorter. A lot of the table service places are a little cheaper than the ones in the parks (not all of them) but the food is still incredible. you can pretty much find anything you are looking for here. The Boathouse I mean, we usually end up here every time we go to Disney Springs even when we have plans to go eat somewhere else. It is home to my favorite drink, the Duck Duck Razz and the best sandwich on Disney property the Boathouse Club! It is the perfect sandwich with avocado and turkey and bacon and YUM! They have so many other delicious options as well, if you like oysters they have a fresh oyster bar that I have heard is fantastic. Homecoming This is Sawyers favorite restaurant since fried chicken is his favorite food! The church lady deviled eggs are to die for and even if you do not usually get appetizers you need to get these. The friend chicken salad is fabulous and the Florida couch cocktail is amazing. Plus you can't go wrong when there is a moonshine bar with a refillable squeeze bar at the restaurant! Enzo's Hideaway This is the underground tunnel bar that is kind of a sibling to Maria & Enzo's. You can get some of the same menu items from Maria & Enzo's and some pretty incredible cocktails and flights. The atmosphere is really cool and you really feel like you are in an underground speakeasy. The Resorts There are a TON of restaurants to choose from at the resorts but I am just going to tell you about one of our favorite restaurants at the resorts....Steakhouse 71! There is literally nothing I do not like about this restaurant. The food and service were both fabulous and the decor is magical, I wish I could have my house decorated like this restaurant. Jay and the boys had steak and I had the fish. I am looking forward to going again to try the plant based option on the menu! Conclusion We have by no means even scratched the surface of all the places to eat in Walt Disney World here, these are just a few of my favorites and our go to's when we aren't sure where we want to eat. We try to go to new places as much as we can and have a nice long list of places we cannot wait to try. I hope this helps you to at least have a little list of places you might want to look into when you come to Disney World next time. I don't know about you but eating is a big deal for us in Disney and part of the magic. I hope you enjoyed this weeks post and it made you nice and hungry! Thank you for reading along and have a magical day!
