In-Room Dining at Walt Disney World
is a bit of a gamble. In the past when I’ve tried it, the food has been lukewarm at best, cold/old at worst, and not prepared very well. (Or rather, it may have been prepared well but didn’t survive its journey to my room!) So when I ordered In-Room Dining for breakfast at Walt Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge, I managed my expectations.

But I’m happy (and frankly surprised) to say that it was actually pretty good!
I was traveling with my son, so the Kids’ Menu Mickey Waffles were a must. Of course, with this view, it’s possible that anything would taste better! Those are the Copper Creek Cabins below and the Contemporary and Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle in the distance. We had some great fireworks views from this room!

The Mickey Waffles were crisp and well-cooked (very glad they weren’t soggy!), and the bacon was standard Disney bacon — not super crispy, but flavorful.

The Ham and Cheddar Omelet was another decent item. It was warm, and the flavors were great. The breakfast potatoes (roasted with red pepper) had good flavor, too, though weren’t as salty as I would have liked.

We ordered a bowl of Fresh Mixed Berries, and these were exactly as advertised: fresh! The cereal-sized bowl was filled with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.

Mickey Butter came on the side, and that’s always a fun addition. (Don’t mind that poor, mushed Mickey on the top; he doesn’t do mornings.)

Overall, I have to say this was probably the best In-Room Dining I’ve had at Walt Disney World. The food was tasty and still appropriately warm. And the delivery of the food was fairly speedy — especially when I compare it to room service I’ve ordered in the past. Of course, mileage will vary on In-Room Dining since lots of factors can affect the quality of the food you receive, but this time it was a win!

We had a great experience with in room dining at the Poly last fall. We only intended on doing it for the Twilight Feast (which was amazing!), but I came down with an awful cold about halfway through our stay. So we ended up canceling our dinner ADR for 50s Primetime because I was just too wiped out to go back to DHS after our afternoon resort break, and we got dinner in the room again. My gf got grilled chicken and I got the stir fry noodles, everything was fresh and delicious—probably better than what we would have gotten at 50s Primetime! I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
I’ve done in room dining at Copper Creek. It’s not bad but not great either. I realize their goal is obviously to fill their restaurants, but I think it would make a lot of sense to up the quality of in room dining. If you’re talking about a Deluxe Resort, the food should be on par with the resort itself. You don’t want a guest to think “Oh since my room service food wasn’t great, I won’t eat at my resort.
Which room was this?
We stopped staying at wilderness because we find the majority of food terrible and uneatable. Great hotel but they desperately need to up the food game there.
