food IS a theme park
Are you dreaming about being able to afford one of Disney’s Signature Dining Experiences?
Todd English’s bluezoo restaurant
Well, Todd English’s bluezoo located in the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort is one of those signature restaurants that is well-known and highly acclaimed for its seafood and innovative menu items. This spot isn’t known for cheap eats, but don’t let that stop you because we found a way for you to eat here and not break the bank!
You’ll find some incredible dining experiences across Disney World.
EPCOT
From Michelin-recognized fine dining to quick-service locations with a ton of flavor, there is something for all kinds of preferences throughout the parks. EPCOT, specifically, has a wide range of restaurants around the World Showcase, but one in particular is a winner for those looking for elevated Japanese cuisine. Takumi-Tei, the most expensive restaurant in EPCOT, serves a prix-fixe omakase-style menu, but did you know the dining location offers a special add-on experience to tailor your meal?
Anyone who tells you that all Disney World food is good is a liar…but also, anyone who tells you that all Disney World food is BAD is a liar, too.
California Grill
We’ve tried enough food over the years (which means dining at every restaurant in Disney World!) to know that there are some absolutely delicious eats around the resort. Disney has several signature restaurants that serve some top-notch dining experiences, and recently, we got invited to stop by one of our favorites.
Don’t let Disney World fool you — there are plenty of places to dine FANCY.

Recently, we stopped by one of the most popular spots to see if it lives up to the hype!
Dining at Disney World can get pretty pricey, especially if you’ve got reservations at a couple of the signature restaurants in the parks.
