Where Can I Eat at Disney?

Food, glorious food!

Let’s face it! One of the most important things about going on any vacation is what you will eat. Some of us are looking for some delectable morsels that we just can’t find at home! Some of us are in search of the world’s best burger! Others, just want snacks on snacks on snacks! Whatever you’re looking for, they have it at Disney!

Food carts

If you’re looking for a quick snack or beverage, you’re in luck! Disney has food carts everywhere! I don’t know the actual number of steps between carts, but you won’t have to walk far! Ice cream, popcorn, pretzels, and more are available at all 4 parks! Each park also has some special snacks to nosh on. To find out what, just click: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom.

Quick Service

If you’re looking for fast, familiar, kid friendly food you’re in luck! Burgers, pizza, chicken tenders, hotdogs, and more can be found at most Quick Service restaurants both in the parks and at the resorts. Or maybe you’d rather have a salad or something a little healthier? Many locations also have a little something for the health conscious individual.

Table Service

Whether you’re looking for Italian, steak, seafood, or maybe even a Character Dining buffet, there are loads of choices! Each of the parks offer different versions of these delicious choices and more! Perhaps you’re looking for tastes from around the world? Head to the World Showcase at Epcot! PixieDust Tip: Reservations are recommended for these restaurants as they often fill up! Reservations can be made by calling Disney, or booking either online or on the My Disney Experience app beginning 60 days prior to checking in to your resort. Most restaurants have a 2 hour cancellation policy, but some require more notice, so make sure you read the fine print ! And don't forget! You can pay for your meal with your Magic Band, but only if you're staying at a Disney Resort!

Signature Dining

Each of these amazing restaurants have their own flair! They are unique and sure to please your palate! For more information about each individual signature dining experience, you can read about them here. Like Table Service locations, these may be booked beginning 60 days prior to your arrival. Also, be sure to check for cancellation rules.

What is Pixie Dust?

First Time Magic When I was Young…and so was Disney World My first visit to Disney World was in 1971. I was not excited to be going to Disney. Why? I did not know that Disney existed, much less that I was going there. 1971 was the year that Walt Disney World opened in Florida and I was 5 years old! Whether my Dad kept it a secret so that it would be the ultimate surprise is unclear to me. What I am sure of is that he took us to the most magical place on earth. Operations were very different than they are now, but the one thing that remains the same is that it is still the most magical place on earth. What is Pixie Dust and how can I Make it Happen on my Trip? Pixie Dust is a magical, unexpected thing that can happen while you are at Disney, but you cannot make it happen. I have heard people recently complain that the magic is gone since the pandemic started. It’s not true. I am sad for these people because they are missing the point. There are two types of...

Signature Dining at The Walt Disney World Resort

One of my favorite things I have a confession. While it is true that I love all things Disney , the attractions, the parades, the fireworks, the characters, the thing I love most at Disney is the dining! Whether I am on a Disney Cruise or visiting the Theme Parks, the dining is my favorite thing! You may not be aware of this, but Disney offers several different types of dining experiences: Table Service, Quick Service, Character Dining , and the coveted Signature Dining! Why is it called Signature Dining? Disney's Signature Dining locations are named as such because they are each a one of a kind, dining experience. Walt Disney talked about taking an experience and "plus-ing" it. In other words, taking something great and then taking it up another notch. That is exactly what the Signature Dining experience is! What do I need to know? Each of these unique locations is available by reservation and they tend to fill up very quickly! Reservations can be made 60 days bef...

Disney Value Resorts: Which one is Best?

Why are they called Value Resorts? Pop Century The Disney Value Resorts are called that because they are the least expensive resorts that Disney has to offer. In other words, staying at one of these will stretch that Disney Budget farther. Currently, there are 5 Values: Pop Century , The Art of Animation , All Star Music , All Star Movie s, and All Star Sports . What amenities and entertainment can I expect at a Value Resort? All of these resorts will have a counter service restaurant, a pool bar, a gift shop, a themed pool near the main building, guest laundry, Movies Under the Stars, and special resort activities at the main pool. In the rooms, you can expect beds for 4 people (2 to a bed) or if you book a suite it will sleep up to 6 people. In the standard rooms and suites you will have a coffee pot with coffee service provided and a cooler/fridge perfect for keeping drinks cold, but not much else. The suites also have a microwave as well as a small supply of p...

Some of My Favorite Things: Hollywood Studios Edition

Hollywood Studios: What can I expect? Hollywood Studios, like Epcot , is not like the MagicKingdom . It is not like Epcot either. So what is it? Originally, Hollywood Studios was a small theme park named MGM Studios. The theming of the park was a day on a Backlot in Hollywood. Everything that was originally there had to do with the making of movies. Though it was my favorite park, it had a problem. It earned the reputation of a half-day park. Through the years, it has changed significantly. Today’s version of Hollywood Studios is definitely a full day park. It still has a movie theme, but the newer attractions are more of immersion into those movies than experiencing a day on a Backlot in Hollywood. Is it still my favorite? Absolutely! Maximizing Your Let’s get right down to it! You could spend your whole day and only experience a few things if you’re not careful. Pixie Dust Tip: If you only buy Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes one day of your trip, I would con...

Why Should I Stay at a Disney Resort?

Discounts! There are many reasons to choose a Disney Resort for your upcoming Disney vacation! It is true that there are tons of resorts in the Orlando area. It is true that you might find one that is cheaper, though I would double check that that is true because you can sometimes get some super good deals at Disney. Probably one of the biggest reasons to pick a WDW Resort is the discounts. If you book last minute, you might not be able to find a discount, but if you plan ahead when the deals are first coming out, the savings can be anywhere from a little to a lot! To find out how to make sure you are getting the discount you think you are getting, click here . What kind of discounts can you get? Most often they have room discounts from 15-35% depending on when and where you book your stay. Some of the bigger discounts are attached to having an Annual Pass or a Chase Disney Visa or sometimes even having Disney+. What else? Occasionally, you might find a ticket discount, espe...
