food IS a theme park
There are LOTS of places to dine in EPCOT!
EPCOT
You’ll find restaurants in every part of the park. There’s Space 220 in World Discovery, The Garden Grill at the Land Pavilion, Connections Eatery in World Celebration, and, of course, almost every country pavilion has its own restaurant, so you can enjoy the flavors of the world. As much as we thoroughly enjoy eating around EPCOT, there’s one restaurant with an environment that might kick up your anxiety, even though the food is really good!
Here at DFB, we’ve eaten at EVERY Disney World restaurant.
Magic Kingdom
And over hundreds (probably thousands) of restaurant visits, we’ve had some good experiences, and we’ve had some not-so-good ones. Among those not-so-good ones, we’ve had a few rather stressful restaurant visits…including one at a popular character meal.
As a reporter here at DFB, I’ve spent a LOT of time in Disney World restaurants.
EPCOT
Not only do I grab lunch at quick service restaurants frequently when I’m in the parks, but I’ve also done full reviews of dozens of quick service restaurants, snack stands, and table service restaurants for my job. In fact, by my tally, I’ve eaten at over 150 Disney World restaurants to date. And with all those meals in Disney World, I’ve developed some pretty strong opinions!
Can you believe it’s almost October?
Main Street, U.S.A.
While that means it’s finally officially spooky season, it also means that Thanksgiving is only a short 2 months away, and if you’re spending the holiday in Disney World, it’s time to prepare. Grab those park pass reservations ASAP (if you need one; otherwise, if you’ve bought date-based tickets for that time, you’re all set!), and if you’re planning to eat a special Thanksgiving meal during your trip, the time to book reservations is NOW!
Pretty sure y’all have been waiting for this one…because I definitely have!! You might discount Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but I am here to tell you that YOU SHOULD NOT. This park is magical, y’all, and I’m going to prove it to you today!
Animal Kingdom
I’ve always known that Disney’s Animal Kingdom is amazing, stupendous, incredible, insert-other-great-adjectives here. But now, I wanna make sure YOU know it, too! While many folks tend to write this park off as a half-day-er (which can be understandable, since it has fewer attractions than its three older sibling parks), you can EASILY fill a full day here, just by tracking down the AWESOME things we’re gonna talk about today!

What DO YOU DO in the morning at Disney World?
Chicken-Stuffed Mickey Waffles
It’s no secret that Walt Disney World has a litany of food options. There are table service restaurants and quick service locations offering countless options for dinner, lunch, and – – our focus today — breakfast. We took to our Facebook page to ask our readers whether they eat breakfast in the parks at Disney World, and the results were a bit surprising.Â
Disney has finally announced the dates for these important character dining CHANGES happening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2024!
Witch Minnie at Minnie’s Seasonal Dine at Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney World’s character dining restaurants are some of the most popular places to eat in the parks because they’re character meet-and-greet experiences and tasty meals rolled into one. One of these restaurants in Hollywood Studios actually changes themes a few times a year, and now we have the dates for two upcoming changes.
Disney World is always busy building new things and updating even more.
Shades of Green
For example, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently reopened after a lengthy refurbishment with a few changes. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a brand NEW ride, just opened in Magic Kingdom. It seems like there’s almost ALWAYS some kind of construction going on in EPCOT. This is why we wanted to remind you about a Disney World restaurant closure that will happen soon.
A meal at Disney World is MORE than just your standard entrée and side dish. So let’s start looking at some of the best restaurants on Disney property for dinner. After all, it’s your capstone meal of the day!

Disney World food is amazing, wouldn’t you agree?!
YASS corn dog nugs!
From Dole Whips to Mickey-shaped…well everything, Disney World food is such a key part of the whole experience. That being said, the other day while we were walking through the parks, we started noticing something we weren’t expecting. We’re surprised we didn’t pick up on it earlier, but it appears there’s a trend that’s changing how people eat in Disney World!
