Walt Disney World is not only the most magical place on earth, but it’s also a foodie’s paradise! After visiting nine times, I’ve curated a list of my favorite restaurants and must-try dishes at each park. Whether you're craving quick service, character dining, or a traditional restaurant meal, Disney has endless options for every taste bud. Below are my top picks across the parks!
Magic Kingdom
Tony’s Town Square
Located right as you enter the park, Tony’s is the perfect spot to load up on Italian classics! My go-to dishes are the Spaghetti & Meatballs and the Chicken Parmigiana. Don’t miss out on the Limoncello Sidecar for a refreshing twist. Reservations highly recommended!
Be Our Guest
Experience dining inside the Beast’s Castle with an unforgettable 3-course meal. With gorgeous details that transport you straight into Beauty and the Beast, this is a magical dining experience like no other. Make sure to book ahead!
Aloha Isle
Hidden in Adventureland, Aloha Isle offers the iconic DOLE Whip®—a perfect pineapple and vanilla frozen treat to cool off on a hot day. Don’t forget to try it as a frosty float!
Plaza Ice Cream Parlor
Located on Main Street, this old-fashioned parlor is the ultimate stop for a sweet treat. Indulge in a homemade sundae or a couple scoops of your favorite flavor.
Epcot
San Angel Inn Restaurante
My favorite Epcot dining spot for Mexican food! Dine under the stars in a 17th-century hacienda setting, and be sure to order the Chicken Enchiladas. The ambiance alone makes this spot special.
La Cava del Tequila
The best margaritas in Epcot, hands down! As a Texan, I’m picky about my margaritas, but La Cava delivers. Try the Avocado Margarita—you won’t regret it! Find this hidden gem inside the Mexican Pavilion.
Crêpes À Emporter
When in France, indulge in a delicious crêpe! Whether you prefer savory or sweet, this spot has you covered. My favorites: Bechamel, Cheese & Ham Galette or Red Berry and Chocolate Crêpe.
Rose & Crown Pub
Having traveled to both England and Australia, I’m convinced that the best fish & chips can be found at Rose & Crown in Epcot! You can either dine inside an authentic English pub or grab your order from the outdoor walk-up window if you're short on time!
Hollywood Studios
Hollywood & Vine
A top pick for character dining! Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto make regular appearances while you enjoy a buffet loaded with options. The freshly carved beef and herb chicken are standouts. Reserve ahead for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Woody’s Lunchbox
A great quick-service option in Toy Story Land! The BBQ Brisket Melt and the famous “Totchos” are my must-order items.
Animal Kingdom
Eight Spoon Café
Hidden in Discovery Island, this counter-service spot is a dream for mac and cheese lovers. The Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork is a savory delight that shouldn’t be missed!
If you're a seasoned Disney-goer or planning your first trip, these spots will help you fuel up for the magical adventure ahead. Don't forget to make your reservations and try these delicious eats on your next Disney World visit!
