Dining reservations are made at 1-407-939-3463
We always do the dining plan and end up saving TONS of money.....if you are going to eat in the parks, this is the way to go. ALSO, you can bring coolers of food and drink into the park if you don’t plan to buy food there. I have been surprised by the number of people who do not know this before going!
Refillable Mugs are now included with the standard Dining Plan. If you don’t have the dining plan, you can still buy a mug for about $15. You can refill it at your hotel only as much as you like during your stay. Good for coffee in the mornings, and drinks when you come back in the evenings (soda, lemonade, or even hot chocolate!). Definitely good money spent if you are planning a resort pool day.
To find character dining......Go Disney World website, click on places to eat, select character dining and select the dinner with characters your family likes best! During your meal, characters will come to your table and take pictures and sign autographs. Much better than standing in long character lines in the park.
Some of our favorite dinner places:
In the Resorts/Downtown Disney:
-- Ohana at Polynesian Resort is my favorite place to eat in Disney!!! GREAT food. Book early!
-- Spirit of Aloha show at Polynesian Resort. Luau, fire twirling, the whole deal! Fun show for the whole family.
-- Hoop-Dee Musical Revue at Fort Wilderness
-- Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge has a fantastic breakfast buffet!
-- Beach Club also has a good breakfast buffet with the Mickey characters
-- Chef Mickey at Contemporary Resort. The food is not great, but you get to see the main Disney characters (Mickey,Minnie,Goofy, Donald, Pluto) so we go almost every time
--T-Rex at Downtown Disney is a must do for boys!
Magic Kingdom
-- There are 2 princess meals (Akershus in Norway, Epcot and the other in Cinderella’s castle) Akershus is the least expensive and a little less crowded from what I have heard
-- Crystal Palace has Pooh characters......who doesn’t love Tigger?!
-- Be Our Guest recently opened and is the new place to go-have not been but have heard great things about it!
-- The Plaza Restaurant-good food and the cheapest casual dining (not counter service) you will find
Hollywood Studios
-- Sci-Fi Diner is like a drive in movie.....you sit in cars, and old sci-fi films play on the screen. The kids loved this one too!
-- Fantasmic Dinner package – choose from 3 restaurants and get seating pass for fireworks and water show at Hollywood Studios
-- 50’s Prime Time Cafe-like an old 50s diner with great atmosphere
Epcot
-- Le Cellier Steakhouse in Epcot is a really good restaurant (steak) but we had the youngest children (by far!!) in there with our 1 and 3 year olds during lunch!
--The Garden Grill restaurant has good food and revolves and has characters who come to your table for pictures
Animal Kingdom
-- Yak & Yeti--good Asian food
-- Rainforest Cafe (also at Downtown Disney). Get the blinking drink glasses and the volcano for dessert
So many great places to choose from, and in true Disney form, there is PLENTY of atmosphere and fun to mix in with your meals!!
