With a fresh year comes a chance to savor Disney World's culinary delights! We’re diving into the dining scene at Disney World to spotlight the top restaurant picks and help you decide where to eat based on your preferences. There's a lot to cover, so let's get started!

**What’s NEW**

While last year didn’t revolutionize Disney World dining, a few fresh venues made their mark, including the eagerly awaited reopening of a beloved character dining option.

**1900 Park Fare**

April saw the reopening of 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, once again offering delightful character dining experiences with favorites like Aladdin and Cinderella. Don’t miss the chilled strawberry soup!

**Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs**

This kiosk opened at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn in August and is already famous for its creative corn dog variations, including the buzzworthy pickle corn dog with peanut butter sauce.

**The Cake Bake Shop**

Disney’s Boardwalk Inn welcomed The Cake Bake Shop in October. Here, you can enjoy sweet and savory dishes or grab a quick dessert from the bakery.

**Summer House on the Lake**

Though it’s fairly new, this Disney Springs restaurant offers a Californian menu with delicious pizzas and fresh sandwiches.

**eet by Maneet**

Nestled in Disney Springs, eet serves modernized Indian cuisine, with a special happy hour menu offering exclusive dishes.

**Wailulu Bar and Grill** and **Pirates Lounge** are also fresh spots to seek out, offering Polynesian vibes and a soon-to-open Pirates of the Caribbean-themed experience, respectively.

**What Needs More LOVE**

Often overlooked, these gems deserve your attention:

**Skipper Canteen** offers adventurous dishes with a Jungle Cruise theme, yet many guests pass it by due to more popular alternatives. This fun dining spot is well worth a visit.

**Docking Bay 7** in Galaxy’s Edge might seem a bit unusual, but the atmosphere and comforting meal options like the Endorian Fried Chicken are definite crowd-pleasers.

**Olivia’s Cafe** at Old Key West Resort and **Crew’s Cup Lounge** at Disney’s Yacht Club are lesser-known, yet they each offer excellent food and unique atmospheres.

**What Won’t Break The Bank**

Disney dining can be pricey, but there are affordable (and delicious) choices:

**Columbia Harbour House** offers seafood and other New England-inspired dishes at budget-friendly prices.

**Regal Eagle Smokehouse** in EPCOT and **Flame Tree Barbecue** in Animal Kingdom are fantastic for hearty BBQ lovers.

**Capt. Cook’s** at Polynesian Village Resort serves up budget-friendly bites, including the famed Tonga Toast.

Some restaurants are perennially popular for a reason:

**Les Halles** in EPCOT’s France Pavilion is a go-to for pastries and sandwiches.

**Satu’li Canteen** in Animal Kingdom serves customizable bowls and fun menu items like Cheeseburger Pods.

**Be Our Guest Restaurant** and **Cinderella’s Royal Table** are not just about the meal; they provide an immersive experience inside iconic Disney settings.

**What’ll Hook You Up With Last Minute Reservations**

For those spontaneous dining decisions, consider **Liberty Tree Tavern**, **Spice Road Table**, and **Chefs de France**, which commonly have availability.

**What NEVER Let Us Down**

These restaurants consistently deliver:

**Le Cellier** Signature Steakhouse in EPCOT, **Nomad Lounge** at Animal Kingdom, and **Sanaa** for unforgettable views and flavors.

**What’s ENTERTAINING**

Enjoy a meal and a show at **Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto**, **Biergarten**, and **Raglan Road**.

For high-energy dining, the **Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue** offers endless entertainment alongside your meal.

**What’s Filled With CHARACTER**

Try **Storybook Dining at Artist Point with Snow White** for a fairytale dining experience. Visit **Chef Mickey’s** for a chance to mingle with classic Disney characters, albeit in a lively atmosphere.

**What’s Date Night Worthy**

For a romantic night out, **Jiko**, **Hollywood Brown Derby**, and **Dahlia Lounge** offer intimate, upscale settings.
