Top 5 Dining Options at Walt Disney World Part 2


Here are 5 more Walt Disney World dining picks to whet your appetite and to show you there is way more than burgers & chicken tenders.

1. Victoria & Albert's (Grand Floridian Resort). The top rated restaurant in Orlando and yes, located at Disney's flagship resort. It does require men to wear a jacket and the menu changes on a daily basis depending on fresh ingredients. Also you can try to get a seat at the Chef's Table, which is even more exclusive with a different menu.

2. Tangerine Café(Morocco Pavilion Epcot) This is a go to for hummus, falafel and your other Mediterranean favorites even at Walt Disney World. One of my top Quick Service picks for your dining plan use. Portions are plentiful and lots of choices for vegetarians on the menu.

3. Crystal Palace(Magic Kingdom) If you have kids, yes you will probably need to do a character meal while at WDW. Crystal Palace features Winnie the Pooh and friends, plus it's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you do breakfast, an 8:00 am reservation(ADR in Disney-speak) gets you into Magic Kingdom before the park opens at 9am. A big plus if you don't want to experience park opening. Lunch and Dinner, the salmon is fantastic and save room for the flan for dessert.

4. Jiko-The Cooking Place  (Animal Kingdom Lodge) One of Disney's Signature Restaurants, the cuisine is African Fusion and an extensive list of South African wines. Harissa chicken, maize encrusted fish and Durban Curry are some of the menu highlights. How good is Jiko's? the chefs, participate in the special Culinary Adventures in Signature Dining during Epcot's Food & Wine Festival. These are exclusive events that the chef prepare a special menu with wine pairings.

5. Artist Point(Wilderness Lodge)-Another of Disney's Signature Restaurants, which means they require 2 table service dining credits. The flavors of the Pacific Northwest are featured here. Cedar Plank roasted King Salmon is a favorite, and especially good when it is Copper River King Salmon season. But save room for dessert, because the Artist Point Cobbler is the bombs. I'll just order an appetizer and salad because the Cobbler is that good!

So that concludes my top 10 favorite places to eat at Walt Disney World, plus there are other great places to eat in the parks and resorts, no you don't need to eat burgers & hot dogs at every meal even in the parks.  If you have a food allergy Disney is one of the most accommodating places you can go.
