How do we decide where to eat at Walt Disney World?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Our next Walt Disney World vacation is in September, and that means we can make Advanced Dining Reservations<\/a> (ADRs) in March!\u00a0 There are many restaurants with delicious foods and wonderful themes to choose from at Walt Disney World.\u00a0 That makes it hard to decide where to eat.\u00a0 It\u2019s a case of so many restaurants and so little time!\u00a0 So, how does our family narrow down the choices to decide where to eat?<\/p>\n

First, we look at where we will be each day and we try to eat in or near that park.\u00a0 We consider restaurants in the park we\u2019ll be visiting each day as well as restaurants in the resorts near the parks.\u00a0 Some of the best dining opportunities are in resorts!<\/p>\n

My travel party consists of myself, my son (18), and daughter (16).\u00a0 Two are adventurous eaters and one is a picky eater.\u00a0 We want places that offer something to please each of us.\u00a0 We have eight table service credits to use, and where we should use those credits is the subject of long and fun conversations!<\/p>\n

I let the kids pick the ADRs as long as they follow one rule.\u00a0 We must try at least one new-to-us restaurant on each trip.\u00a0 We always have favorites we want to repeat, but trying new places is an adventure and we\u2019ve discovered new favorites by trying new places.<\/p>\n

After hours of friendly debate and good times reviewing menus<\/a>, we have our ADR List!<\/p>\n

On our Animal Kingdom day, we will visit Kidani Village to have lunch at Sanaa<\/a>.\u00a0 We ate at Sanaa for the first time on our last trip, and instantly fell in love with the food and atmosphere! \u00a0The naan platter was a party for our taste buds, and the tandoori chicken was flavorful at every bite! \u00a0We also enjoyed the dessert trio, especially the chai cream. \u00a0We all agreed that this is a place worth repeating for the food and the atmosphere as we liked watching the animals on the Savannah while we had lunch.<\/p>\n

On our Hollywood Studios day, we will take the boat to Beaches and Cream<\/a> for lunch. \u00a0That is a new-to-us place and we’re looking forward to trying the entrees and the ice cream desserts! \u00a0No Way Jose, here we come!<\/p>\n

For our Magic Kingdom days, we will travel to Trail’s End<\/a> at Fort Wilderness for dinner on one evening. \u00a0We’ve enjoyed Trail’s End for lunch, but have not tried the dinner buffet yet. \u00a0The other selection for a Magic Kingdom dinner is 1900 Park Fare<\/a> at the Grand Floridian Resort. \u00a0This choice surprised me a bit, but the sushi and all you can eat peeled shrimp won over one teen while strawberry soup was a draw for the other. \u00a0I am thrilled, because it’s new to us and it’s a character meal which means I get some photo opportunities! \u00a0Our remaining Magic Kingdom day meal will be a breakfast at Crystal Palace<\/a>, a favorite choice. \u00a0Although my kids are older, they still get a kick out of meeting Pooh and friends and we enjoy the food. \u00a0The breakfast lasagna is a treat to treasure here!<\/p>\n

Epcot is our favorite park, and it’s hardest for us to narrow down where to eat here because we like too many restaurants in this one park! \u00a0We’ve decided upon a lunch at the Rose and Crown<\/a>. \u00a0It’s been several years since we’ve been here, so in a way it’s almost new again. \u00a0I think that the popularity of Doctor Who and Downton Abbey in our house may tipped the scales in favor of the Rose and Crown!<\/p>\n

Our next pick in Epcot is Via Napoli<\/a>, a place we’ve tried twice and enjoyed each time! \u00a0The pizza is second to none, and the desserts are outstanding! \u00a0This is comfort food at its finest. \u00a0On our last trip, we were amused by the Ugly But Good Sundae and it was delicious at every bite!<\/p>\n

Our trip will end with a dinner at Biergarten<\/a>, a tried and true hands-down favorite for us! \u00a0There will be entertainment and hearty food! \u00a0On our last trip, I was particularly impressed with the savory cheese offerings at the buffet.<\/p>\n

We have a nice mix of buffets, regular table service meals, and a couple of character meals in the parks and at resorts. \u00a0I think the kids did an excellent job with their choices, and I can’t wait to dine at each of these locations!<\/p>\n
