We rode the attractions, watched the shows, and made unforgettable memories—but some of the best moments of our Walt Disney World vacation happened around the dinner table. Here are five Disney dining experiences my family loved as much as the rides.

Sounds like a good mix of dining 😊. For future trips I’d recommend a few often underrated restaurants that are my favorites (and not just for the CM discount 😀) — Flying Fish (at the Boardwalk), Toledo & Three Bridges (at Coronado) and Jiko & Sanaa (at AK Lodge). These aren’t necessarily the most kid-friendly favorites but the food is really good at all of them. I also really like Topolino’s Terrace—I’ve been there for dinner, but heard they have a really good character breakfast as well.

I always suggest the Fantasmic dinner option at 50's Prime Time Cafe.

If you plan the meal(s) well, the VIP seating (center of seating/ stage) for Fantasmic is virtually free.  We did change it up this year and are going to Brown Derby for first time.

 

For us, last year we were blown away by Cookes of Dublin.

We simply had the cheeseburgers and it was an instant favorite. We had some other high quality meals throughout our time in Orlando (including some excellent pizza from Epic Universe), but something about those Dublin cheeseburgers… we still talk about it.

I hope we can scrounge up money to go back to Florida again some day!
