Well, the "best" restaurant at Walt Disney World (classiest, most expensive, best-rated) is Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. This is a very upscale restaurant. Children aren't exactly permitted. Women must wear dresses or dress suits while men must wear a collared, button-up shirt and a suit jacket with slacks. This restaurant apparently offers the best, most expensive food on property, and the menu changes often (at least once a month, I think.) Anyway, this restaurant is very expensive- $90.00 or more per person (and it'll only be $90.00 if you order the cheapest items on the menu. I haven't been to this restaurant yet, though, because I always go to Walt Disney World with my boyfriend, and only 19, so this fine restaurant isn't our style.
These are some other restaurants I really enjoy...
* I never eat at the cheap, quick service restaurants. *
The Rainforest Cafe at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. This is a really great, fun restaurant. There's all kinds of giant Audi-Animatronic animals, like elephants, monkeys and parrots. I found the service here to be fantastic, and I really loved the pizzas. I had the "Passport to Paradise" four-cheese pizza. It was delicious, and very fresh with chopped basil on top.
Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano at Disney-MGM Studios. I really love the restaurant. It's so pretty! I loved all of the food here. The fried calamari, freshly baked flatbread, and the honey-hazelnut cheesecake.
The Coral Reef Restaurant at EPCOT. This restaurant is at the Living Seas Pavilion, so you can have a nice view of the aquarium while dining. The fried calamari was the best I've ever had, and the Chocolate Wave dessert is incredible!
Le Cellier Steakhouse at EPCOT. This restaurant is at the Canada Pavilion at World Showcase. It's a beautiful restaurant that looks like the inside of a wine cellar. It's really cool. This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is amazing- the mussels served chowder style with applewood smoked bacon, the filet mignons, and the maple creme brulee. Yum!
Nine Dragons Restaurant at EPCOT. This restaurant is at the China Pavilion at the World Showcase. This place is always packed for dinner, but it's perfect for lunch. There's always a lot of empty tables in the afternoon, so it's quiet and relaxing. The wonton soup is good, and the honey-sesame chicken is perfect! It was the best I've ever had. You could tell it had just been made and wasn't sitting under some heat lamp.
Tony's Town Square at the Magic Kingdom. I really love this restaurant. It's themed to the "Lady and the Tramp." There's two different rooms. I love the bread they serve here. The spinach and artichoke dip was fantastic as well as the chicken tortellini soup. I love the chicken florentine, and the tiramisu is the best! I have it every time we eat there.
Bongos Cuban Cafe at Downtown Disney. This restaurant serves an awesome Cuban sandwich for lunch. I'll go there every time we vacation at Walt Disney World from now on.
Now, there's also a lot of great restaurants at the different Walt Disney World Resorts...
Boma- Flavors of Africa at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
(Great breakfast and dinner buffet.)
Cape May Cafe at Disney's Beach Club Resort
(A great dinner buffet, and the Oreo Bon-Bons for dessert are delicious!)
ESPN Club on Disney's Boardwalk at Disney's Boardwalk Inn
(I love the club wrap and the "Hokcey Puck" dessert here! The portions are huge, too, so if you want to save money, split meals.)
California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort
(Incredible food and it's one of the best locations on Walt Disney World property.)
Narcoossee's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort
(One of my favorite restaurants! Awesome food and a view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks at night, with the music piped into the restaurant live from the park.)
Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian Resort
(I always eat here at least twice during our stays. The wok-seared duck pot stickers are fabulous and the open dessert bar is nice. Also, a beautiful restaurant in a beautiful resort. We always stay at the Polynesian Resort.)
Artist Point at Disney's WIlderness Lodge
(Amazing food, like cedar plank salmon, buffalo, and smoky portobello mushroom soup. Famous for its Artist Point Berry Cobbler. I love this restaurant!)
Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort
(One of the best places for steaks at Walt Disney World. Awesome filet mignon, and a great dessert table with the best creme brulee!)

I have to agree with some of the other answers - dining at Disney is one of the best parts! There is so much to try, to choose from! We (my husband and I) love the dining plan, love trying new things and going back for our old favorites! At Magic Kingdom: Tony's Town Square is one of my absolute favorites! I love the movie "Lady and the Tramp" so eating there was not only wonderful because of my love for the movie, it was SO good! We went for lunch and had more than enough (actually took our leftovers to our hotel, napped and went back to MK for more fun!). I recommend the tiramisu at Tony's... yum! Then at Hollywood Studios, we don't really care for 50's Prime Time Cafe. The ambiance is pretty cool, just the whole set up and everything - that's what you are paying for. The food - ehhh not so much. What we ate - I could make better at home! I do however, love the Sci Fi Dine In - it was so fun to eat in a car while watching old movie clips! Their Oreo cookie milkshake is super yummy! The Double Dip for 2 appetizer is really good also - mmm! And we have traveled to resorts to eat - (we drove, taking the buses seemed like a hassle) hands down the best was Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. You have to be willing to try new things, as not much on the buffet looks familiar! But it was all delicious, and it's such an amazing resort. Have fun on your trip - and happy dining!!

Inside the actual Disney park, one of the best places to eat is in Cinderella's castle. You will pay for it, but that's Disney anyway. You are at the top of the castle and you can see the whole park... its' great! Outside of the park, I recommend the Hard Rock Cafe right by Pleasure Island. It's a lot of fun, the food is pretty normal, but you can't beat the atmosphere...

Food in the park will be expensive. We always try to bring a few sandwiches in with us for a snack to hold off a big meal until we get out of the park. Along the entrance to the park there are food places and hotels for miles. Try "Old Town" for some food and interesting things to see in the evening.

If you are going to WDW make sure you add the disney dining to your vacation. we spent 560.00 on disney dining added to our package. (for 7 days) We got to eat in all the nice places for dinner, such as character dinings, and steak houses. Our total food bill for a week, had we have paid for it would have been over 1000.00.
Planet Hollywood at Downtown Disney was awesome. Liberty tree character dining at Magic Kingdom was really cool and good!
The steak house at Epcot was awesome, We ate at the african marketplace at the hotel at Animal kingdom lodge ( a taxi from animal kingdom can take you there) They have so much to choose from it is crazy. check it all out at www.disney.com

Everywhere is good to eat there. just bring lot's of money to pay for the food. I paid 5 dollars for a normal size hot dog, nothing on it but a bun. 1.50 more for everything on it. Have a good time there.

If your inside the theme park food should be the least important thing. Eat anywhere

I don't know what the best one is, but, assuming it is still there, I'd stay away from the Norweigan themed one!! EVERYTHING is made with fish...even the desserts!! bleugh!!
