When dining at Disney World, there seems to be an endless amount of choices, from where you’re going to eat to what you’re going to order once you’ve selected your restaurant.

If you feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices to make, one way to make your dining experiences a bit more “streamlined” is by ordering off of a prix fixe menu.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Some of the things that you can usually count on are those dining reservations, which you can make 60 days before your visit and then forget about until it’s time to eat. But today we saw a BIG and unexpected dining reservation problem that you could encounter during your trip. Here’s what we know so far about this issue. [Read more…]
It’s that time of the year when the weather starts cooling off a bit and we even start thinking we might even need a sweater at night (yes, it DOES happen occasionally in Florida).

Prix fixe menus, or multi-course meals at a singular fixed price, have become more commonplace around Disney World. More recently, menus at new restaurants like Space 220 are totally centered around the prix fixe experience (EPCOT’s other new restaurant, La Crêperie de Paris, has a prix fixe option on their menu as well). Some long-standing restaurants have shifted to a prix fixe model as well, including Be Our Guest Restaurant, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and the new three-course menu at California Grill for the 50th Anniversary Celebration.
