DisneyDining Disney Dining Plan and Reviews

9. Boatwright’s Dining Hal, Port Orleans Riverside Port Orleans Riverside is my favorite moderate resort, and I love that there is a table service dining option right there are the resort.  It is not one that people normally think of when making dining reservations, so many times you can get a reservation here a day in advance.  The menu has ...

10. Nine Dragons, Epcot While Nine Dragons in Epcot’s China Pavilion suffered for several years with negative reviews, the food here has improved and it seems like the staff is very interested in making it a competitor with the other World Showcase restaurants.  Chinese food is generally one of the “ethnic” foods that most people are familiar with and enjoy ...

While we all know that making dining reservations as early as possible (180 days out) is the best practice for securing your must-eat restaurants at Walt Disney World, sometimes we don’t always have that luxury of time. If you are planning a last minute trip, or your plans changed meaning that you need another dining reservation don’t fret! Persistence is ...

#1 Worst: Electric Umbrella, Epcot This may be the one exception about avoiding—because you are at Epcot and can walk right across Future World to Sunshine Seasons for a much better meal, or into World Showcase for good options. Electric Umbrella inside is uninspired, looking like a retro 1980s or 90s setting, but not retro in a fun way. And ...

#2 Worst: Pizza Rizzo, Hollywood Studios Again, Hollywood Studios falls a bit below the bar for food. And as I said in the beginning, it is not that these restaurants are terrible or should be absolutely avoided, but with the abundance of really good quick service options at Walt Disney World you can choose better (or they could step up ...

#3 Worst: Liberty Inn, America Pavilion Epcot This one makes the list for wasted potential. With so many excellent quick service restaurants around the World Showcase producing fabulous ethnically inspired foods, it is a shame that America cannot do the same in its Quick Service restaurant. The menu could feature a few regional specialties from around the country, or from ...

#4 Worst: Cosmic Rays, Magic Kingdom While Ray’s is fun (although fairly loud) with the velvet tones of Sonny Eclipse entertaining diners, it ranks at the bottom of my places to eat at Magic Kingdom. The menu is par for the course of theme park food where many of the quick service places go above and beyond. It is also ...

#5 Worst: ABC Commissary, Hollywood Studios I feel like (in general) Hollywood Studios is lacking in good quick service. ABC Commissary falls on the worst list for the blah theming (as if you are on a TV lot getting your meal at the cafeteria). Chicken Strips, Burgers and a Ribs & Chicken combo platter round out the somewhat unimaginative menu ...

#1 Best: Sunshine Seasons, Epcot While the atmosphere at this “open air” food court located in Epcot’s Land pavilion leaves a little to be desired, it is my number 1 pick because of the variety of food available—making it an easy location to please everyone in a family. Because the seating is right in the middle of the two story ...

#2 Best: Satu’li Canteen, Animal Kingdom The newest quick service eatery in Animal Kingdom is also one of the best on property. The very unique menu here may not appeal to everyone, but if it does you will discover freshly prepared food with delicious flavor combinations. You can order one of their bowls—with this you choose your base & sauce ...
