food IS a theme park
There are over 100 dining options in all of Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
Most of them are amazing locations to grab some tasty food. There are many different types and styles of restaurants to choose from. Some are quick service while others are table service locations that aren’t so fast. With so many options to choose from, we narrowed it down to six restaurants that take a bit longer but are SO worth your time.
Garden Grill is a restaurant we talk about often.
Garden Grill
This restaurant located inside the Land Pavilion in EPCOT is one of our go-to’s. While there are many great places to eat in EPCOT, we have always really enjoyed this spot. It features a fun atmosphere and delicious food. It’s been a while since we’ve been here, so we decided to go back to check on it to see if the quality still lives up to the hype!
There are a bunch of Disney World restaurants you can visit while on vacation.
Magic Kingdom
Changing up where you eat while at Disney can be a good thing, but as they say — if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. You may go to a restaurant for the price. Another you may visit for the amazing food. Maybe it’s the incredible view you enjoy while eating your meal that keeps you going back to that one restaurant? Here is our unapologetic list of Disney World restaurants we will never stop going to.
We’ve eaten at every restaurant, fast food spot, and snack cart in EPCOT, and we know just where to find the BEST places to eat. But that means we’ve also discovered some of the worst ones, too.
EPCOT
If you’re planning an upcoming Disney World trip, don’t forget to avoid these EPCOT restaurants!
There are a lot of things to eat in the Disney parks (especially at EPCOT), but are you eating the WRONG thing or perhaps missing out on the most iconic and delicious meals? You might be! 😱
EPCOT
You might know that tasting flavors of Coca-Cola from around the world at Club Cool is a MUST. And you’re probably very aware of EPCOT’s many festivals and how you’ll want to save up to try all the best eats at those. But what else constitutes “essential” EPCOT eating? What are some of the BEST or most ICONIC meals in the park that you’re missing out on? Don’t worry — we’ll tell you!

There are SO many restaurants to pick from in Disney World — how do you know which ones to visit during your 2024 trip? Just looking at a list of them can be overwhelming. 😣
Summer House on the Lake
And with the Disney Dining Plan back, you might feel an extra sense of pressure to pick the “right” spots for you and your family. Well, the best restaurants for you can really vary on a lot of things — your party size, the type of food you like, whether you like to eat big meals or smaller meals, and more. But today we’re going to take a little bit of the stress away and at least give you a good starting point — our pick of 14 of the BEST restaurants to try in 2024!

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Disney World food is inconsistent.
MICKEY WAFFLES at Garden Grill
Disney fries are served piping hot and fresh one moment, and cold and hard the next. We’ve had fresh, delicious churros, and we’ve almost broken a tooth on one that was cold and stale (ok, not really, but it wasn’t great). Trying to decide where to eat through all of this confusion can be a challenge, but thankfully, there are a few restaurants that just hit different. We mean the old standbys that we can rely on time and time again. Let’s take a look at three of the restaurants that haven’t let us down yet.
What’s better than Mickey Waffles?
EPCOT
Mickey Waffles with our pal, farmer Mickey (And Pluto, Chip, and Dale)! Thankfully, breakfast has returned to one of our favorite character dining spots — Garden Grill. It’s been a few years since breakfast was offered here, and the menu has changed a little bit since we last visited, so I had to check it out!
Are you ready? Are you excited? It’s BACK!
Garden Grill
No, we’re not talking about the random churro cart in Magic Kingdom or the Refreshment Station in EPCOT. We’re not even talking about the exclusive fireworks show that will return for two days only in Disney World. It’s time to EAT because breakfast is officially back at Garden Grill, bb!
It’s no secret that the team here at DFB loves food. After all, it is part of the blog’s name.
Mickey Waffles!
There’s one meal that reigns supreme for some of us, though, and that meal is BREAKFAST! We could always go for some Mickey Waffles, a warm cinnamon roll, and a giant cup of cold brew. While breakfast reigns supreme in our own personal hierarchy of meals, there are also Disney World breakfasts that reign supreme WITHIN the meal that reigns supreme. One of those meals returns THIS WEEK, and we’re here to give you all the details.
