We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — choosing where to eat on your Disney World vacation is quite possibly the most difficult decision you’ll make on your trip.
Magic Kingdom
There are so many different options and if you’re trying to figure out what’s right for you and your travel group, things can get overwhelming quickly. Luckily, we’re here to help. We’ve eaten at every restaurant in Magic Kingdom, and if you ask us, this is the only dining reservation you need.

What about something totally unique you’d never find anywhere else? We’ve made the list of the most essential restaurants in Disney World for each type of diner.
A LOT is happening with Disney World food right now. That’s because the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival has officially kicked off, bringing some AMAZING food booths and snacks to the resort.
The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival has kicked off!
But we’re also celebrating Women’s History Month, which has also brought some new snacks to Disney World. PLUS St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, meaning we’ll see some new GREEN treats popping up soon. However, the biggest changes are happening on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s get into those updates right now.
When it comes to buffets, your experience can either be really good, or really bad. Usually, there’s no in between. Whether you can’t get over how amazing the food was, or you can’t get over how bad the stomach ache was, there’s a lot of talk about buffets — especially at Disney!
You’ll find many a Mickey Waffle at Disney World breakfast buffets!
The good thing about Disney buffets is that some of them actually rank pretty high in our list of favorite restaurants at Disney in general! Yes, they’re that good! To save you some time (and some disappointment) we decided to rank every buffet in Disney World!
Shhh. 🤫 Lean in close. We have an epic Disney restaurant secret to share with you.
So tasty!
If you’ve ever been to Disney World, you may have eaten at one of its buffet restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (where lunch and dinner usually serve up the same eats). You very well may have made a reservation for one meal or the other but wished you could try BOTH meals at once. Well, you might just be able to do it…if you know this special HACK.
If you’re a Disney World newbie, there might be one BIG thing that surprises you about visiting Magic Kingdom…
Magic Kingdom
…there’s hardly any alcohol there! While the other three Disney World parks sell bottled beer at carts and mixed drinks at snack stands, you won’t see the same in Magic Kingdom. But there are a few places you can imbibe in the OG WDW park, you’ll just need to know where to look!
There are so many dining options at Disney World, that we’ve dedicated an entire blog to it!

And while kids are welcome pretty much everywhere in Disney, there are some restaurants that work slightly better than others for families with kids.

There are SO MANY incredible breakfast options in Disney World, so how do you narrow down your choices?
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
There’s an ultimate breakfast for picky eaters at Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort , a special character breakfast at Hollywood and Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and 1900 Park Fare is serving meals again at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. But what about Magic Kingdom?? We’ve narrowed down three types of breakfasts you might be looking for — and how to choose.
If you have your heart set on eating something specific in Disney World, we always recommend one thing: check the restaurant menu.
Swan and Dolphin Resort
