It is extremely hard to list the best places to eat because any table service restaurant at Walt Disney World is amazing. Disney prides itself on its food and restaurants.

This site is so helpful for figuring out where to eat. There's pictures of all the restaurants, so you can see whether or not you like the atmosphere of the restaurant. There's reviews from people who have dined there recently, so you can see what other people think of the restaurant, food, service, etc. And then there's menus, which is the best part. Just click on a restaurant name and there'll be a full menu, so you can decide where to eat based on food they serve that you know you'll enjoy...

In my opinion, though, and from my own experience, these are some of the best dining options at Walt Disney World...

Kona Cafe- This is at the Polynesian Resort, where I always stay, so I always eat here at least once. At breakfast they serve their famous Tonga Toast (French Toast stuffed with bananas.) At lunch and dinner they serve these wok-seared duck potstickers, and they are incredibly delicious, one of the best appetizers I've tried at any restaurant. I also love that the restaurant's open, not closed off. You can see what's happening on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House and here the waterfalls in the lobby. It's perfect, I love it. I love how the whole restaurant looks, and I really love the dessert counter where you go and pick your dessert. And there's a chocolate statue of Lilo & Stitch. The theming is just so fantastic, I can't even explain. (I'm going in a week, so as you can tell, I'm very excited, and love to speak of it.)

Narcoossee's- This restaurant's located at the Grand Floridian Resort. My boyfriend and I were taking a walk on the walkway between the Polynesian and Grand Floridian Resorts when we found this restauant. We hadn't heard of it, but it was late when we were walking, so it was closed. There was a menu outside encased on a post, and after reading the menu we decided we had to eat there. We walked over the next afternoon and made reservations for that evening. This is probably my favorite of all the restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful, cut off from the actual Resort in it's own octagonal-shaped building. It's right on Seven Seas Lagoon, and there's a view of the Magic Kingdom. This restaurant offers great seafood and surf-and-turf dishes, and dessert is fabulous. I had scallops and mussels, pasta, and an incredible selection of sorbets with berries. I was very pleased with everything. My favorite part about our experience here was the fireworks. Right after our entree the Magic Kingdom fireworks began. The restaurnt dimmer down the lights and had the music piped in live from the Magic Kingdom Park. You could go outside and stand on the wrap-around deck, but we had a perfect view right from our table. It was so romantic. We'll dine here everytime we go from now on.

Tony's Town Square- This restaurant is near the entrance to the Magic Kingdom Park. It's themed to the movie Lady & the Tramp. There's black and white checkered tiles, two different dining areas, and a fountain with a statue of Lady & Tramp. This is another beautiful restaurant, and it has a great menu. Before you get appetizers or anything, they serve you bread with oil and a sauce. It was really good. As an appetizer, my boyfriend and I had the soup of the day which was chicken florentine. It was the best soup I've ever had (besides my mom's homemade soups, of course.) As an entree I had the seafood pasta. It was good, and it was a massive portion. I didn't even eat half of it. And for dessert, Tiramisu. Incredible. It was absolutely delicious.

Hope this helps, have fun when you go!

Boy, tough question! I will say that the best places to eat, typically, are not found in any ofthe 4 theme parks (with a few exceptions inside EPCOT and the 50s Prime Time Cafe at MGM Studios). The best places to eat can be found at the resorts. Here are my favorite places:

* Boma: Animal Kingdom Lodge -all you can eat food from Pacific Rim countries such as Africa and Egypt! American food is also available
* Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show- Polynesian Resort
*Ohanas - Polynesian Resort
*Victoria's & Albert's: Grand Floridian

As a real and dedicated "foodie" let me say this: Disney has spared NO expense in providing absolutely first-rate cuisine. Really. The dining is almost my favorite part of visiting Disney in Orlando. At EPCOT, I'd recommend Germany (the "Beirgarten")for lunch and Morocco (the "Marrakesh") for dinner. (Avoid only Mexico and China where food is concerned; it's not "bad", but it's very pedestrian and you can get the same stuff at your local, neighborhood Mexican or Chinese places).

Really, I've never had a bad meal at ANY Disney park--on either coast. Once, my wife and I were having a wonderful lunch in EPCOT's Norway ("Akershuss" restaurant, which I also strongly recommend) when the chef came walking out into the dining area; everyone stood up and applauded! Seriously!

Have fun!

There are too many to mention them all. The truth is it depends on your tastes.

There are themed restaurants that are fun, such as the 50's Prime Time Cafe in MGM. There are character meals, where the Disney characters go around the room and spend some time with every table. There are 'fancy' restaurants- Le Cellier in the Canada pavillion at Epcot.

Your best bet is to buy a good guidebook such as PassPorter's guide to Walt Disney World. This will list all the restaurants and give you a description of them. Then you can choose what suits your tastes and budget.

The deciding factors will be cuisine and price. There are many restaurants on property that offer a variety of different types of foods at different prices.

The best park for restaurants is EPCOT, because each country in the World Showcase has it's own restaurant. My favorite restaurants at EPCOT are :
The Garden Grill - family style buffet
Le Cellier - Canadian steakhouse
Biergarten - German buffet

The resorts also feature unique restaurants. Some of my favorites are:
Ohana - Polynesian family style buffet
Narcoosee's - seafood
Cape May Cafe - seafood buffet

Those are just some suggestions. Each park has nice restaurants, as well as quick service fast food type places to grab a snack.

It all depends on what you want.

Epcot: I love to eat at Epcot & go to each country & try something new that I have never tried before. Germany is by far my favorite.

Magic Kingdom: Crystal Palace is nice or the Castle.

Downtown Disney: Rainforest Cafe

Animal Kingdom: Rainforest Cafe

MGM Studios: 50's Prime Time is my favorite. It's like your sitting in a old fashion kitchen (like on I love Lucy). The wait staff is so great & it's very interactive. If you just want to relax, try Mama MelRose Italian Diner back by the Muppet Studio Show. Great Italian Dinners.

The rain forest cafe in Downtown disney. there is also one at Animal Kingdom but the downtown one is the best. If you have to wait ages for a table, take a seat at the bar and order food. We do this every year.

Planet Hollywood is another great place also in Downtown disney.

In Magic kingdom try Guiesspe's it does burgers like no one else!!

For a Charactor breakfast or evening meal, the ebst place is Cafe 1900 based in the Grand Floridian Hotel. Not that expensive considering the location.

When you get to Disney head to Guest Relations and you can book meals two weeks in advance.

If you are going to Epcot book a meal in United Kingdom and ask for outside seating. This way you can see the fireworks whilst having your meal and you are guarenteed a seat. Times vary each week for the fireworks so check with Disney or their website.

if I can help with anything else, like rides best places to shop etc email me. I have been 10 times and nothing compares to it.

What do you want? I love the Italian restaurant in Epcot, the Mexican one in Epcot, also the Coral Reef in the Living Seas at Epcot, O'Hana in the Polynesian resort, California Grill in the Contemporary Resort, and I could go on and on. I've also heard the restaurant in the Animal Kingdom Lodge is great, haven't been to that one yet. Oh, I also forgot about the one in the Morocco pavilion at Epcot. There's really something for every taste and budget at Disney. Good luck!
