Dining at the Walt Disney World Resort can be expensive, with plenty of items featuring higher prices than Guests are used to at home. Of course, every dining option is delicious, but the costs can add up quickly, especially for Guests who are watching their budgets.

High menu prices don’t have to keep Guests from enjoying the wonderful table service restaurants in the Magic Kingdom as each location features items that are on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to cost, with no sacrifice on flavor or quality. Guests who want to still be able to watch their budgets, but enjoy a wonderful table service meal, always have great options to choose from.
