We’ve eaten everywhere in Disney World. Yes, EVERYWHERE.
Nope, we’re not exaggerating. We’ve been in the business of reviewing Disney World restaurants for 15 years and we’ve been Disney fans even longer than that, so we have DECADES of experience dining “around the World.” For that reason, we’ve tried hundreds (maybe thousands) of items on the menus at Disney World’s table service restaurants, and we have strong opinions about what you should eat…opinions that we’re about to share with you!
We’ve rounded up a list of EVERY table service restaurant in Disney World (based on the list that Disney has on its website) to share with you the ONE thing that we think you should order at each spot. Referencing current menus, years of restaurant reviews, and polling our team, we’ve come up with a very comprehensive list of some of the absolute best eats in Disney World. Let’s dig in!
