Disney World Restaurant Reviews (Everywhere We’ve Eaten)

This guide provides an overview of every restaurant we’ve experienced at Walt Disney World. Each review contains photos of the food we’ve tried, thoughts on value, and other considerations for dining at any of these restaurants. As you know, dining is one of the key elements when planning a Disney vacation. Thoughts come to mind, like where should we eat, which restaurant has the best food, and should you really plan a meal with characters?

Sometimes, these questions can be difficult to answer. Also, opinions can vary greatly depending on your likes and dislikes, what you consider a value, and how much you’re willing to spend. So, to help you plan, we’ve put together several dining pages here on the site. These pages take an in-depth look at each type of dining available at Walt Disney World.
