The Best Places to Eat in Walt Disney World Resort

If there is another reason to visit Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando other than experiencing the rides and meeting Disney characters, it's the food. The Disney parks and hotels know how to put on a good spread with a huge selection of dishes to choose from. From fine dining to buffets, the most adventurous foodie would be satisfied with the culinary delights. The great thing is that Disney is an internationally known name and this is transferred into everything they do including their food, you only need to explore Epcot's pavilions to realise this. After all, a nation's food is considered to part of their culture, so let's take a look at where the best places to eat at the Walt Disney Resort are.

Port Orleans Hotel

If you walk into the dining room of the Port Orleans Hotel, you will be confronted with a huge range of choices. Guests will be able to choose from various kitchens, styled like an old water mill building, what they want to eat and how they want it cooked. I stopped by for lunch one day and ate from the pasta bar, where I could choose what type of pasta I wanted, what kind of sauce and ingredients. I ended up with linguini with prawns and pesto...and it was amazing. To be honest I was more surprised that I had chosen ingredients which tasted so good, but I also put that down to the cooks!

Other options include pizzas, sandwiches, salads and all kinds of desserts. Just make sure you're a good decision maker before visiting as you will be spoilt for choice.

Prime Time Café - Hollywood Studios

The Prime Time Café takes you back in time to the golden age of the American diner in Disney's Hollywood Studios. The interior is styled around the 50's household kitchen and includes all the food you'd expect, popularised at the time, such as the Traditional Meatloaf, Chicken Pot Pie and Milkshakes.

The tables of 4 come with a TV next to them showing sitcoms such as 'Father knows best' and original Mickey Mouse Club episodes. Although it's not the finest food, the entertainment is suited to the whole family and comes at a reasonable price.

Disney's Wilderness Lodge

The Wilderness Lodge is another Disney hotel which offers some upscale dining experiences. Styled after the great outdoors and National Parks of America, you can expect the menu to include some traditional dishes such as fish, beef and game. This is also a restaurant for the oenophiles, with 131 wines to choose from.
The setting is decidedly rustic, with log cabins, iron lanterns and timber columns, making it all seem rather dramatic.

One of the best dishes from the menu is the hotels signature cedar-plank roasted salmon, which goes nicely with a bottle of fruity white wine.

Victoria & Albert's

If you want to go all out on your dining experience then you can't get any better than Victoria & Albert's in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. This restaurant has achieved the Triple A Diamond Award since 1990 and provides world class service.

To get an impression on how good the cooks are here, the menu is recreated each day, so no two visits will be the same experience. With 500 wines ranging from, affordable to once in a lifetime, the choices exceed even that of the Wilderness Lodge and constantly receive 'Best Award of Excellence' from Wine Spectator.

This is one for the connoisseur rather than the keen foodie and tables need to be booked well in advance...almost up to 180 days in advance!

Cinderella's Royal Table at Magic Kingdom

Ok, let's come back down to earth for a little bit and look at a restaurant more suited to the family.

Cinderaella's Royal Table keeps all the charm and magic of Disney and is a dining experience for the whole family, especially little Disney princesses.

You will need to book in advance for this dining experience as the tables are reserved with a set menu, however, there are still some great options with a 3 course menu for the kids as well as the adults. Of course you will also be able to meet Cinderella in person as she greets all of the guests.
