The wonderful thing about WDW is you can any and every kind
of cuisine imaginable! And most restaurants are covered under the Disney Dining
Plan. Tip: Before making a reservation, always check the latest Disney Dining
Plan guide to make sure the restaurant you have chosen is covered under the
Dining Plan. Also, reservations can be made 180 days in advance.
The other beauty of having such variety of cuisine and a
Disney Dining Plan is that you can eat at restaurants that you may not have
thought of.
Any themed restaurant has the décor and uniforms that go
with that theme.
Here are some quick descriptions/reviews of table service
restaurants that I have dined at over the years. All of the restaurants I have
dined at have been good.
Magic Kingdom:
·
Liberty Tree Tavern (Liberty Square) – Old Colonial
food such as pot roast and turkey.
·
Crystal Palace – Character Dining with Winnie
the Pooh and Friends. Buffet style
·
Cinderella’s Royal Table – Character Dining with
Cinderella and the princesses (and occasionally a prince). Seated meal – you
get a choice of about 4 options for your meal
EPCOT:
·
Coral Reef (Future World – Living Seas) – The
atmosphere alone is worth it! As you sit in the dining room, you can gaze into
the huge tank containing fish, turtles and rays. There is a card on the table
to help you identify the different animals.
·
Le Cellier Steakhouse (Canada Pavillon) –
Reservations are a must! I had a $65 steak, which was absolutely delicious!
·
Nine Dragons Restaurant (China Pavillon) –
Upscale Chinese food.
Hollywood Studios:
·
50’s Prime Time Café – When you walk into this
restaurant you feel like you are walking into your grandmother’s house!
Everything is decorated in 50’s style and they have clips of old black &
white 50’s sit coms playing on old TVs in each dining area. The waiter/waitress
will make you set your place at the table, makes sure you washed your hands and
makes you keep your elbows off the table!! And the dessert menu is on a View
Finder!
·
Hollywood and Vine – Buffet with the Disney Jr
characters. During Star Wars weekends, character dinner with Mickey as Luke
Skywalker, Minnie as Princess Leia, Donald as a storm trooper and Goofy as
Vader
·
Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano – Wonderful
Italian food!
·
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre – You walk into the
dining area and it is set up like an old school drive in. The tables are cars
and are pointed towards a drive in screen playing scenes from cheesy Science
Fiction movies. This is also where they have a Star Wars breakfast with Darth
Vader and Boba Fett during Star Wars weekends in May and June
·
Tusker House – Wonderful buffet that includes
American classics as well as African inspired dishes. Both breakfast and lunch
are character dining with Mickey and Friends
Downtown Disney:
·
Planet Hollywood – After you eat, you can enjoy
walking around and viewing different movie props and costumes from different
movies
·
Raglan Road Irish Pub and restaurant – Irish
food and Irish beer. Occasionally they have live Irish music as well
·
Rainforest Café – Feel like you are eating in the
jungle with animatronic animals in every section. Every 20 minutes there is a
rain storm, but don’t worry, you won’t get wet. You will hear the thunder and
see the lights flashing as if it were lightening
·
T-REX – Similar to Rainforest Café except with
dinosaurs! If you are or you have a dinosaur lover, you must eat here!! Animatronic
dinosaurs with cards that have a brief description of that dinosaur. Every 20
minutes there is a meteor shower (like Rainforest Café with their rain storm)
Definitely make reservations! If not, the wait times are ridiculous!
