When it comes to dining at Walt Disney World, the experience is truly magical and unforgettable. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of indulging in delicious meals at numerous Table Service Restaurants scattered across the parks and resorts. Each dining establishment offers a unique ambiance and culinary experience that adds to the overall charm of the Disney experience.
One of my favorite picks is the iconic Be Our Guest Restaurant located in the Magic Kingdom. Stepping into the grand ballroom inspired by Beauty and the Beast never fails to transport me into a fairytale. The exquisite French-inspired cuisine served here is not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making every meal a feast for both the taste buds and the eyes. Despite the fact that breakfast is no longer served, which was my preferred meal at this establishment, the food remains outstanding and should not be underestimated. "Beauty and the Beast" is also one of my favorite movies, so I may be a bit biased.
If you have the chance another great option is Yak and Yeti in Animal Kingdom, the food is a bit adventurous but absolutely delicious. My oldest daughter still begs to go to this restaurant on every trip and as much as I don't want to disappoint her there are still so many others that we have to try.
On one of our first visits my youngest was under 3 and didn't have a dining credit as we were on the dining plan and as I was pondering over what to get that I could share with her our waiter offered to get her a Smucker's Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Sandwich, that was many years ago but something I will never forget because it meant I could order what I really wanted.
One of our favourites at Hollywood Studios is 50's Prime Time Cafe offering classic American comfort food with a nostalgic 1950s twist. The retro decor, vintage memorabilia, and servers in period attire transport guests back in time. The interactive dining experience includes servers playing "family members" for added fun and immersion, making the meal a memorable journey through time. I know this is not a place for everyone as my oldest is not fond of how the servers interact but it's all in good fun and nothing is meant to upset anyone. The food is like your mom's or grandma's home cooking. My favourite was the Fried Chicken.
For the past 5 years, Splitsville Dining Room at Disney Springs has become a tradition for us whenever we arrive in Orlando. Ordering a smattering of appetizers to share among the four of us, ranging from Sushi to Buffalo Spring Rolls to Loaded Fries. The service has always been outstanding, and we never leave feeling hungry. We tend to order an excessive amount of appetizers as we are eager to sample them all. Perhaps one day, we might even try bowling there!
EPCOT's Rose and Crown pub offers a truly authentic experience of traditional English cuisine. Nestled in the United Kingdom pavilion, this charming spot is a favorite with its classic British dishes and cozy setting. From hearty fish and chips to savory shepherd's pie, the menu at Rose and Crown caters to those seeking a taste of England. The warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with friendly staff dressed in traditional British attire, adds to the overall ambiance and makes you feel as though you have been transported across the pond. In addition to the delicious food, you can also enjoy a wide selection of beers, ciders, and spirits, including some imported directly from the UK. EPCOT's Rose and Crown is a must-visit destination for anyone craving a bit of British hospitality in the heart of Disney World.
Topolino's Terrace at the Riviera Resort has quickly captured our hearts as the ultimate character breakfast destination. Unlike many other character breakfasts that rely on buffet-style offerings, Topolino's Terrace distinguishes itself by presenting a selection of delightful breakfast dishes that are not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The characters at this experience are not just in their usual attire but are dressed in fun and entertaining outfits that add an extra layer of charm. This attention to detail in both the culinary offerings and character interactions truly sets Topolino's Terrace apart, making it a memorable and preferred choice for those seeking a magical and immersive dining experience.
Since the menu is frequently updated, staff members rotate, and new table service restaurants are tested during each visit, my favourite dining spots may change. This means that my recommendations can vary based on these factors. It's important to remember that everyone's tastes are different, so what I enjoy may not necessarily appeal to you.
To ensure you have a delightful dining experience, I strongly recommend exploring the latest menu options, reading recent reviews, and considering other aspects like the ambiance and service quality of the restaurant. Being well-informed can help you make a choice that best suits your personal preferences.
