The Worst Places Everyone Eats In Disney World

[@bobmclennan1727]

One of my favorite aspects of the DFB channel is that you're not afraid to point out negatives when it's warranted, and your criticism is given a strong foundation by always being presented with positive counter-examples.

[@icantthinkofanything798]

Same! So many Disney channels blindly praise everything the parks do. You can be a Disney fan and also be against some of the attractions and restaurants and the overpricing

She still seems to shill pretty hard because getting you to go to Disney is what their entire business relies on. A few other channels have opened my eyes to the laziness of Disney World and Universal is looking more appealing everyday.

[@Storiefrosland]

Exactly!!

[@RHutch187]

It’s crazy that people go to star bucks at Disney. My #1 rule when it comes to going on vacation is NEVER do anything on vacation that you can just do at home.

[@Thommadura]

I have been going to Disney since the Empress Lily Opened before the Parks did and I drive from 1100 miles away so on the drive I have no choice but to stop for something. Now it depends on why I am at disney whether I agree with you. When with my Grand or Great-grand kids we do the whole thing except the Hotels (I have always had a house in the area - my family lived on Anderson Street in Orlando and My great Aunt IS the storied Lucille who ran the counter at Woolworths downtown) However - If I am alone I rarely eat at disney. It is very expensive for an 84 year old retired person to justify alone. I always go to the Cape May Buffet - just like I always went to Broadway at the TOP but normally I eat Breakfast at home, early (6 am or earlier) take a snack about 11AM at the parks (Maybe only a piece of fruit) and then leave the parks and there are a few local restaurants that still have early bird specials (Generally around 4PM) that are worth it. One place HAD a complete Prime Rib Dinner including Appetizer, Salad, dessert and drink for $10) THEN I go back to the parks if they stay open - or to Jelly Rolls at night. I really miss Pleasure Island. I get more and longer trips to the place that way. I have done all the "special" dinners at one time or another already. WHile the meals have gotten better lately, there was a time when they were nothing I could not do better at home.

[@tinatout412]

Our family has that rule too.

[@guyaneseangel1992]

My family member's favourite drink is the caramel frappucino from Starbucks, and they love the Disney themed cup it comes in at the park. Having that frapp while watching fireworks? They LOVE that. There's something for everyone, and not everything is for everyone 🙂

[@j.j.r98]

Meh if I have the free Disney dining plan and I want a venti or trenti whatever they have in America Carmel frapp it’s worth it to me

[@j.j.r98]

@@guyaneseangel1992 lol I wrote my comment before I read yours but ya Carmel frapp are bomb

[@JennieFuchsia]

I love that DFB always says “you don’t have to listen to us- maybe that’s your thing” bc as an autistic I really love getting the exact same drink when I’m traveling as I do at home. It really helps when I step into the parks to have a familiar taste to ground me

[@mysillycomics]

I will say that as an autistic person I have my “safe foods” that I can always trust. I will try new things don’t get me wrong, but sometimes if I’m tired and sweaty and over stimulated I just want something I know I will like, even if it’s kind of boring.

[@sarahgent2674]

I'm also autistic and I'm quite similar. I'm often scared to try new things but as a nut-allergic vegetarian, sometimes I have to if I want to eat. But yeah at the end of a long and stimulating day sometimes you just want to go to wherever is nearest and has pizza. (Also if its a particularly bad day and the menu is particularly rough, I will stoop to a fish and chips, which is more relevant in the UK)

[@Kinky_Oreo]

I'm autistic too and feel like the only one who is not scared to try anything new and enjoys a wide variety of food.

[@kelleyoneal2578]

Autistic as well. I will try new foods every now and then but usually stick with simple foods that I know I like. I do still like a wide variety of food: American, Chinese, Tex-Mex, Italian.

[@kriscynical]

That is absolutely justified and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Nobody in my family's usual traveling party is on the spectrum, but one of our favorite staples in Disney World is mac and cheese just because Disney's recipe is SO FREAKING GOOD. Standard Disney fries with ketchup and Disney honey mustard are another favorite snack for us. Comfort food is called comfort food for a reason!

[@DisturberOfThePeace]

I can relate a lot as somebody who gets stressed about trying new things (I am not autistic but I do have a ton of food allergies). especially in a place where it costs so much.

[@SemiTalentedPotato]

Anboy else truly appreciate how she tells us which locations to stay away from while ALSO giving us recommendations in their steed? I think that's incredibly awesome work!

[@michaelsmagicalmoments]

Cut me deep on Rizzo's. There's just something about the muppet nostalgia that it brings.

[@TheNerdistheWord]

Idk we LOVE Rizzos. We eat there every time we are in Hollywood Studios. Star Wars food is beyond underwhelming except Ronto Roasters that closes after lunch. Sci Fi drive in is ok at best. The other sit down places have also underwhelmed us. The pizza is always fresh, the salad is my favorite Caesar salad I’ve ever eaten, the kids love it, and it’s a quick service place we don’t need reservations for. Overall, PizzeRizzo’s gets a million stars from us.

[@michaelsmagicalmoments]

@@TheNerdistheWord I definitely enjoy eating there, and the pizzas are pretty tasty really.

Slip into the bar and eat without a wait! We do it alot when we don’t have a reservation.

[@CarlySharec86]

The thing about PizzeRizzo (and all of Disney's puffy pizza) is kids love it and it can usually appeal to super picky eaters. Some kids would happily down a flatbread, but many wouldn't. I totally get why tired sunburnt parents wanting their kids to eat something other than chicken nuggets and not wanting to spend even more $$$ on their Disney vacation would go for PizzeRizzo. (This is how I feel about the Rainforest Cafe hate, too ... sometimes you do what you have to do to appease picky kids who can be super loud while dining out!) I will also admit to really enjoying Cosmic Ray's, lol. You nailed it, the food isn't stellar (though I think it's pretty decent for your basic fast food, tbh) but you can always find an open table and enjoy some AC. And the bathrooms are always clean and usually not super busy. And, of course ... Sonny!

[@TheNerdistheWord]

My kids love PizzeRizzos but so do the adults in the family. That salad! Cosmic rays had a better burger than Sci Fi 🤦🏼‍♀️

I just love it so much and I'm not ashamed to admit it has everything to do with Sonny Eclipse and nostalgia, but 97% Sonny Eclipse. I wouldn't mind an update to the place but they better not get rid of Sonny Eclipse, I don't want a replacement either, I want them to keep Sonny. You can update his animatronic maybe add some new songs but keep it Sonny. Now that tangent is out of the way, I understand the menu is subpar, but I just love those Burgers 😂

During my daughter’s first trip to the MK, we did Cosmic Ray’s because of the A/C seating, they had food that everyone in the party could eat, and we could get cheap Mickey head straws that my young daughter absolutely loved. We ended up going back again on our 2nd trip and had the same experience. The food was fine and we were able to rejuvenate enough to continue to enjoy our day. Now that my daughter has less picky tastes, we will probably look into other eating options if we return to the MK, but for those 2 first trips-it worked just fine.

[@shepwillner7507]

Hypothetical question: suppose you're taking your son someplace special for lunch or dinner and he's the same age as your daughter. Where do you take him, someplace macho so that he can see how guys in fancy costumes behave? For example, would you take him to the Biergarten for eating, singing, drinking, and dancing to German music; to the Japanese hibachi place for a fun display of juggling with knives; or to Gaston's Tavern to see how a bully like Gaston behaves towards people he despises? Now, take both son and daughter to Cinderella Royal Table; what does your boy take from the experience if he's too young for ogling princesses? If I go there, I'd go myself just for ogling Cinderella, especially the live-action movie version, not the animated character.

I think Be Our Guest should be on this list as well. We just ate there tonight, and it was really a mediocre at best experience. And the prices are $62 for adults, $37 for children. Our daughter's "made on premises" mac and cheese was dry. Mom and Dad's dinners were "OK", certainly not what you'd expect for the price. The desert trio was so sugary sweet it was inedible for us, and even for our daughter. We were in one of the side rooms, and you get maybe a 3 second glimpse of the Beast from where we were sitting - he only walks through part of the room (the part which we were not in). To be fair, the server comped our daughters dinner, but still it ended up $150 with tip for 3 people. To make matters worse, it was our daughters 6th birthday and our last day on the trip, so it was extra disappointing. We went to guest services, and the person at guest services wouldn't do anything and was frankly rude to us. What a bummer for the end of our week long trip. (edited for punctuation)

San Angel Inn suffers from what I call “Blue Bayou Syndrome” (from the restaurant at Disneyland). It’s beautiful, but the food either doesn’t match up to the view or doesn’t justify the cost, which is a shame.

[@kennethbaker2624]

Thanks DFB and AJ I must agree I have been visiting WDW since I was 8 Oct 1971 we have been to so many Disney restaurants can't remember them all.

[@amydoran9987]

Skipper canteen was a huge disappointment. The menu was awkward. I ordered a chicken meal, it came out cold and the veggies were cold and made of rubber. I love Tony’s and my family and I have always enjoyed eating here.

[@chaoticinkinc.3145]

I'm so glad the Living Seas isn't on here. That said, I highly recommend Yak and Yeti in Animal Kingdom and the British Pavilion in Epcot. Yak and Yeti has one of the BEST curry dishes I've ever tasted and the British Pavilion has the best Fish n' Chips.

[@cognitohazard3]

if you’re from the ny, nj, eastern pa area don’t even bother with pizza anywhere on or off property. it’s just gonna make you sad. on our first trip we ordered a pizza to our room and it was the saddest pizza i’ve ever seen

[@ThingsAMaskCantHide]

Speaking of the society of explorers and adventurers… I would love a KZbin video detailing that back story, and all the attractions that are included in that story!

[@rc24caldwell19]

So true about San Angel Inn.....ate there once, and will never go back.....way too many better options....

[@icantthinkofanything798]

Wow, last two trips combined I literally ate at 3/4th of these. No wonder I don't remember the food at Disney being amazing

[@viper2148]

You can add Ohana to that list. Reservations are almost impossible to get. I assume only because of what is USED to be.

[@BirteK1975]

@ Viper I went to Ohana in 2016. I was not impressed with the food at all. It sure was edible, but nothing special.

[@jasonprosser7392]

The Starbucks in every park might help people who work at Starbucks free up money within their budget tho. Partners get free drinks and such even on days off...

[@joycekoch5746]

Next time I will skip Dysentery Springs. Starlight Cafe is worth visiting for the bathrooms.

[@kelleyoneal2578]

The San Angel Inn makes me think of the Luxor Hotel with all the lights out. 😂

[@krazymunki54]

i have absolutely no plan to go to disney anytime soon but these videos have been so entertaining

[@shepwillner7507]

And I stopped going to WDW after my last trip in May '19. I think I outgrew Disney, and I got tired of dealing with the Texas Two-Step after almost every meal I ate at Epcot or MK.

[@think1500]

I hope someone at Disney watches this and makes changes that reflect Disney’s standards. I remember going to dland CA when I was younger and no matter what I ate it was amazing. That being said I didn’t care what I was eating as long as it had Disney logo’s on it

[@wendykenney8145]

OK, we ate at Cinderella‘s Royal table. Yes it’s pricey. The atmosphere is wonderful. My husband and I had the scallops and they were delicious! It was our granddaughter‘s fifth birthday so it was a special occasion for her. She loved decorating her own cupcake for dessert, The dinner was so so for her. But it’s a onetime experience.

[@troyjollimore4100]

We've had great meals at both Rain Forest and T-Rex...

[@grayandry]

I agree! We’ve always been happy with our food at T-Rex. In fact, we went every time we traveled to WDW. We stopped going a few years ago now that our kids are older.

[@Kittyqueen97]

I was a victim of sunset ranch market....

[@hemerafloyd]

Me: hears "joffreys" Also me: anger over a fictional character intenseafies Also also me: why am I thinking about game of thrones the franchise doesn't even belong to Disney...

[@junkratsdaughter]

i thought the same thing!

[@sapphoculloden5215]

I go through that every time she mentions Joffrey's - and then I think that there's no way I'd drink coffee at a place named for him! I mean, it would probably be poisoned or something.

[@2RG_]

To your point about chains, (you recommended)Blaze pizza is also a chain.

[@caseyabrams6877]

Starbucks has different options over in Disney than what we get in the UK!

[@SKS2K9]

That’s the main thing: the Disney Starbucks locations have unique treats that you can only get there. That’s the only reason why I went (to all of them).

[@thatoneoshawott5826]

My family has a tradition of going to Disney springs as the last thing we do before we leave the park (including checking out of the hotel) and it is always the best part of the trip when it comes to food

[@blakepace]

Wife and I must have lucked out every time we went to San Angel. We sat waterview, volcano perfect distance and view, and, most importantly, our dinners each of the five times we've been there, were EXCELLENT! To this day, we refer to it as 'our favorite little Mexican hideaway'.

[@rudyrluna]

Ate there twice and I agree. It was great both times.

[@amberfraser1717]

Would love a video on room service meals at the Disney parks!

[@Thommadura]

Depending on the Restaurants that are at a Disney Hotel, the meals can run from Okay to Blah. However - Room Service takes forever at Disney and the likelyhood that your meal will be stone cold is something that -for the Astronomical price - I don't think I can justify. YOU might be better off getting delivery from some of the OUTSIDE Disney places that deliver to the Hotels.

[@amberfraser1717]

@@Thommadura I appreciate the heads up! I will gladly try that when we go next.

[@shepwillner7507]

One word about room service meals at the Disney hotels: pizza. Lots of pizza from the on-property pizzeria. Concur with what somebody else posted: you'll be lucky your order arrives warm if not hot. Otherwise, be prepared to go to the hotel lobby and get your order from a Doordash, Grubhub, or Uber Eats driver, then take the food back to your room and eat it there.

[@Charlotte_Crabtree]

AJ from Disney Food Blog has just offended a whole army of puffy pizza fans.

[@vickiemendoza9252]

lol

[@tweachiemercer1589]

She ragged on pillowy pizza and then she recommended thick sicilian pizza, same difference.

[@jakelakota3010]

Well, this is the first video I watched that had these lists and you were the first to nail it. I am a DVC member and I admit to eating at Cosmic Ray's, it's convenient and I like the piano guy GREAT AC, Tomorrowland Terrace was never opened when we went, I agree about the Starbucks, why do I want something I can get at home(?), and Cinderella Castle, been there, done that ain't doing it again. And that was when dinner was $35. We did enjoy Be Our Guest, IF you can get a reservation, get it. Side story, I tried for a solid yr to get reservations and couldn't. We drove down all night from PA, got to WDW about 9:30a.m. and had to wait for the Ale and Compass to open for brunch. We were seated, and the CM asked if we needed anything else. I blurted out as a joke, sure, reservations at Be Our Guest! Ten minutes later she came back and we had reservations. I thanked her profusely, went back to our resort and wrote a comment card thanking her again, thinking that would not get to her supervisor I called the Yacht Club, told them we are DVC members and also told them to make sure her supervisor knew we were very happy with her help. We are going back in March 2022.

[@VictoriaLaoudis]

Yeah our last trip we went to Rainforest Cafe (as per my restaurant choice 😂) and my fiancé got food poisoning the rest of our trip 😣😳😬

[@robertobaird1015]

(15:49) I’m imaging that this duck immediately left The Starlight Cafe after having a pretty underwhelming experience there. 🦆✨

[@JaytheEmpath]

With Planet Hollywood where else can you say got to eat and see Mrs. Doubtfire’s dress or Winnifred Sanderson’s statue 😂

[@kalipassion04]

As a LA native who loves the Los Angeles Farmer Market I am honestly offened at how bad the food is at Sunset Ranch Market. Los Angeles Farmers Market has some of best food in the city with unique flavors. When I went in Jan I was so confused and actually stood outside the market frowning at this horrible tribute to my favorite place.

[@shepwillner7507]

The only time I've visited that Farmer's Market was in July '86 during a full-day tour of Hollywood that also included an afternoon at Universal Studios. I agree that they serve great food there, but they need more tables for people to eat the meals they buy there. I wish I had bought some strawberries for my fridge at the Hollywood Holiday Inn where I stayed during my time in Hollywood.

[@magicalmomlaura]

I’m still mad they got rid of the fried green tomato sandwich. I was there the day they switched it over. So sad.

[@stacistein702]

Love your channel and I agree with everything you said in this video aside from T Rex. Yes, it's outrageously expensive and loudly obnoxious, but their Tar Pit shrimp with seasoned waffle fries are the foods of my dreams. The tower of onion rings with sauces is divine, too. Just wear ear plugs and enjoy the fried goodness.

[@7pines77]

I think Epcot has the coolest places to eat. I like Coral Reef, Garden place, and Norway
