10 Restaurants Your Family Will Love at Walt Disney World

Unlike other theme parks out there, Disney World has some seriously good eats. For this reason, it’s generally a good idea to research your dining options before a Disney vacation. After all, you can only eat so much during one vacation, so you have to make every meal a magical one. Wondering how you can go about this? Well, you’ve come to the right place! This article will introduce you to 10 amazing restaurants on Disney World property that we know your family will love.

 

10. Be Our Guest (Magic Kingdom)

A favorite of young princess fans, Be Our Guest is a wonderful quick-service option at breakfast or lunch, or an equally good table-service eatery for dinner. The French-inspired cuisine is delectable, and the fact that you are dining in the Beast’s castle is absolutely magical. Be sure to check out all the dining rooms before you leave!

9. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater (Hollywood Studios)

Everyone loves a good burger, and Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater delivers just that—but with a flair. You see, the restaurant itself is amazingly well themed and gives diners the feeling of being outdoors at the drive-in theater. Guests enjoy their meals at tables in cars, and a big screen plays clips from old sci-fi movies.

8. 50s Prime Time Cafe (Hollywood Studios)

If you’ve always dreamed of experiencing time travel, 50s Prime Time Cafe is your place. This fun eatery serves up delicious 1950s classics such as meatloaf and fried chicken. The dining room is filled with all sorts of 50s decor and paraphernalia, and the staff welcomes you—and picks on you, a little—as family. It’s all very fun and silly, and makes for a memorable meal.

 

7. Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo (Hollywood Studios)

Head on over to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for an out-of-this-world dining experience in Black Spire Outpost. This quick service spot is situated next to Millennium Falcon’s Smugglers Run and looks like, well… a docking bay! Wind your way around stacks of barrels and crates from across the galaxy and choose from delicious food offerings like Batuuan Beef Pot Roast and Endorian Fried Chicken Yip Yip. Menu options include foods even the kids will love. Once your order is ready, you can sit inside an oversized shipping container or outside on the patio to enjoy your meal. Everything we’ve tried here is AMAZINGLY delicious… especially the vegetarian options! 

6. 1900 Park Fare (Grand Floridian Resort)

Another great place to meet characters while enjoying delicious grub, 1900 Park Fare has favorite friends visiting all day, every day. For breakfast, you can count on meeting such characters as Alice, the Mad Hatter, and even Mary Poppins. Lunch is skipped in favor of afternoon tea, which is a wonderful event all young tea party lovers will enjoy. Finally, the Happily Ever After dinner buffet is a wonderful way to see Cinderella and all her crew.

5. Crystal Palace (Magic Kingdom)

Crystal Palace definitely makes the list for top 5 eateries in Magic Kingdom. This yummy buffet-style restaurant serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and does so quite well, with everything from Pooh’s Stuffed French Toast to amazing carved meats. To top it all off, all guests will be visited by Pooh, Tigger, and other Hundred Acre Wood friends for some amazing meet-and-greet experiences.

4. Biergarten Restaurant (Epcot)

Don your dancing shoes, because Biergarten has the perfect dance floor and some rollickin’ polkas you won’t be able to resist. Don’t dance? Let the kids enjoy the dance floor and accordion music while you chow down on schnitzel, sausage, and amazing mac ‘n’ cheese.

3. Whispering Canyon Cafe (Wilderness Lodge Resort)

Anyone who likes a good laugh will enjoy Whispering Canyon Cafe. This barbecue restaurant has some seriously delicious menu items, but that isn’t even the half of it. Waitstaff at this location have an endless supply of silly antics that are sure to have your family giggling, if not chuckling.
