Need Recommendations!

how exciting!! planning where to eat is always my favorite part about a trip

i would say definitely do be our guest – either breakfast or lunch though. idk if i would waste two credits on it for dinner. i like breakfast better than lunch, and it’s such a great atmosphere!! you gotta do it at least once

my favorite quick services are casey’s corner (corn dog nuggets!) flame tree bbq and columbia harbor house

my favorite sit downs – crystal palace for breakfast, 50s prime time, biergarten, cape may cafe for dinner, via nappoli (sooooo good!!!)

other sit-downs i’m dying to try and have heard great things about – sanaa, ohana (dinner), chef art smith’s homecomin’, and wine bar george

but if there’s one on this list i think you should try no matter what, it’s via nappoli! it’s soooooooooo delicious!!! my favorite restaurant on property. and it was also rated as the number 1 theme park restaurant by USA Today!

Sit down dinners…. Ohana’s, Citricos, 50’s prime time, The Yachtsman, The Brown Derby for lunch… (get their chicken sandwich) The Edison at DS (get their Edison burger)????

Quick service…. Cosmic Rays, Columbia Harbor House, Flame Tree Barbecue, Earl Of Sandwich at DS (this place has great sandwiches and good prices too… if the line is long, don’t worry, they know how to handle the crowds)

Quite frankly, we have better luck at the restaurants at Disney Springs or the resorts…. the restaurants in the parks have disappointed us lately…. case in point, Rose and Crown at the UK pavilion in EPCOT, we ordered our meal and it came within 5 minutes…. it wasn’t good and it was preprepped, in other words, I think they use microwave ovens in their kitchens instead of real stoves

I’ll add more as I think of any others worth mentioning

oooh wait, i’m gonna contradict @85glht and say that rose and crown is a must i had the best burger i’ve ever had at disney there, maybe even the best burger i’ve ever ate in general! i’m sure you’re not gonna want to go there and get a burger when you can get that anywhere, but it was such a good burger haha

EDITED TO ADD: they’re right though, the restaurants in the parks aren’t that great (aside from Epcot though.) I would stick to Disney springs and resorts for dining, but those can be a pain in the to get to

The location of Rose and Crown is awesome but we just had a bad experience with the food….. maybe if we ate later in the day it would have been better…

I will add Le Celier(sp) is decent but I think it will cost you 2 table service credits which I don’t think may be worth it.

I’m trying a bunch of new places next month, as well as returning to some old favorites. I’ll see what my experiences are like and get back to you

Some of my favorites, and many of them may be new to you since it’s been quite a long time:
Animal Kingdom: Satuli Canteen and Flame Tree for counter, Tusker House for table/buffet.
Epcot: Mexico La Cantina de San Angel for nachos, United Kingdom Yorkshire County Fish Shoppe for fish and chips, Sunshine Seasons for just about anything, Via Napoli pizza window all for counter, Garden Grill, Le Cellier (special treat $$$$), Via Napoli all for table.
Magic Kingdom: Columbia Harbour House, Pecos Bills for counter, Be Our Guest, Liberty Tree Tavern, Crystal Palace all for table/buffet.
Studios: Backlot Express, Fairfax Fare (7-layer rice bowl specifically) for counter, 50’s Prime Time, Sci-Fi for table.
Resort mention: Wilderness Lodge – Artist Point (Storybook Dining), Whispering Canyon Cafe, Fort Wilderness – Trail’s End, Animal Kingdom Lodge – Boma all for table. Art of Animation – Landscape of Flavors, Port Orleans French Quarter – Sassagoula Floatworks, for counter.
Disney Springs has more restaurants than you’ll ever be able to think about trying, or probably even scratching the surface of. We’ve only been to a handful and feel like we haven’t been there at all.

These are just tops off my head, there are SO many good ones that I couldn’t mention here, but hopefully that will give you some ideas. If you would like more information or why some might have made my list let me know! Good luck and good eatin’!

Oh how fun!! There will be so many places for you to try that you haven’t been to before! Dining is one of my absolute favorite parts of a WDW trip!! Here are some of my favorites (we tend to eat mostly at resorts and Disney Springs because we’ve found the food tends to be much better):
