food IS a theme park
Eating at Disney World is a bit more complicated than you think.
Food
While the Disney World Resort offers a litany of food options, from sit-down restaurants to quick-service snacks and everything in between, eating at the resort isn’t always as easy as it seems. While many are aware that pretty much every restaurant on property requires an Advanced Dining Reservation, there are also some other Disney World dining rules that not every guest is aware of.
Do you have that one bucket list Disney World restaurant that you WILL dine at someday?
Victoria & Albert’s
For many, that restaurant is Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. This restaurant is ELITE and pricey, but dining there can be a special once-in-a-lifetime experience. Now, we’ve been there several times, so we might be a little biased, but we’re totally not surprised about a new honor this restaurant has been given.
There are a lot of expensive restaurants in Disney World, but only ONE of them is the most expensive of them all.
Victoria & Albert’s
That restaurant is Victoria & Albert’s, located in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. It has an AAA 5-diamond rating, has been recognized by the Michelin Guide, and is bucket list item for many Disney fans. We’ve had the opportunity to dine at this incredible spot before, and while it was amazing, there are a few things we wished we could have done differently.
Some Disney World restaurants are one-and-done because the experience is cool but the food is…underwhelming. But that’s not the case with the three restaurants we’re talking about today.

When it comes to dining at Disney World, there are options for just about every preference: character meals, themed restaurants, budget-friendly spots, and LUXURIOUS experiences. Some of the MOST luxurious restaurants in Disney World are incredible, with a beautiful atmosphere and even better food. But the prices at these places mean they’re once-in-a-lifetime experiences for most of us!
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World, so much so that it’s often hard to keep up.

Things seem to always be under construction (EPCOT, we’re looking at you); new restaurants are being built, new lands are being proposed, and more. Parking is another thing that has changed in Disney World, including how you park at a hotel where you have a dining reservation.
Listen, we here are DFB love Disney food, but there are some restaurants that we don’t recommend.

And we don’t mean because the food isn’t good (although that is the case sometimes), but some table service restaurants can take up a TON of your time in the parks, and if you’re visiting for a short amount of time, you don’t want to spend hours inside of one restaurant. Here are the restaurants we recommend avoiding in Disney World because they take up so much time!
One of the most important parts of your Disney World trip (in our opinion) is what you choose to eat! There are lots of great options for snacks and meals in the parks, but there are also some less-than-stellar eats to watch out for.
