AJ you’re amazing, hands down dfb is my Disney fix right now. Thank you to you and your team for everything you all do!

[@DonaldsDisneyGuide]

Same, as I'm also living through my Disney fix through these videos!

[@logandeluca2861]

Fun little story: once a few years ago I was at Garden Grill with my family, and a kid outside the circle asked Pluto if he could have a picture with him and Pluto shook his head no because he wasn’t in the restaurant

[@blackbearish]

bet the kid was well annoyed at being refused by Pluto *smile*

[@itsmrsvelez]

Were you listening to me and my husband yesterday? Because we were literally talking about this 😂

[@susan1831]

Well, we're KZbin stars! We were watching your video and was so shocked to see us coming down the stairs (3:47) how crazy is that! Thanks for sharing, we enjoy your videos.

[@lisagimblett8646]

So good to get a slice of Disney magic! Restaurants that we always dine at when we vacation are Chefs de France, Skipper Canteen, 50's Prime Time, Storybook Dining, Sanaa, Tutto Italia, and Be Our Guest lunch.

[@natasjavanvliet2781]

Maybe make a vid about table service / a la carte restaurants top 50 cuz everybody is sitting home and a long vid woild be sooo nice

[@jessjlsy]

Each restaurants' decor is so chefs kiss!!

[@_Jenthehen_]

Garden grill, crystal palace, and 1900 park fare are must do’s for us since we travel with 3 little girls. Most of our party do not like “exotic” food and the girls love the characters! Thank you for making this video!

[@Ajrn386]

- Jennatiedye - our triplets love Garden Grill. They are 5 and think it’s thing ever.

[@Bhembca]

Primo Piatto is one of our favourite quick-service restaurants at Disney's Riviera Resort. Some of our favourite dishes are: Tuna Nicoise Salad and the Riviera Burger for lunch, and Grilled Hanger Steak and Shrimp Pasta for dinner. This is a seriously underrated restaurant which is right off the Skyliner.

[@jaydasadventures1370]

I love watching resteruant videos.

[@carlosaguirre1465]

Yeah!!!! Disney Video!!!!

[@laurab444]

I'm honestly shocked that you gave Olivia's such a high review! I completely agree it's such a hidden gem, the prices are reasonable (especially for Disney), food is good, and the atmosphere is nice.

[@Neotheaterr]

AJ! You are such a big help to us! My family loves watching your content. We was planning our FIRST WDW trip in Fall, but due to this Global Pandemic, we had to reschedule. But, since you're giving us all these tips, we can maximize our trip. Thank you AJ! And DFB guide tubers! Good Day! -Mia

[@AmandaSchaeffer20]

I’ve always wanted to go to the beaches and cream soda shop! I love ice cream and I’m for sure gonna go there next time I go to disney

[@leshaface21]

What's so cool, is i've been to Disney World so many times over the past 11 years, and I still haven't hit even half of these restaurants! Love that I always have new options to choose from when i'm planning a trip!

[@MarinaSzocs]

Hey AJ! Can you guys try to think of some type of discount for us that had 2020 trips planned and will move them to 2021? Maybe a add-on for 2021 updates for a discounted price for who already bought the 2020 version? It would be amazing! ☺️

[@JanethJ]

We have a reservation to Ohana. I can’t wait to see my sons face when he sees Stitch ♥️♥️♥️

[@natalieg5425]

Janeth J. FYI the characters are only there during breakfast! It’s our favorite restaurant for breakfast and dinner! Dinner is delicious!

[@JanethJ]

Natalie g yea I know . That’s why we are doing breakfast there because my son loves stitch . But maybe one day we can do dinner too. I always hear good things on Ohana’s food 😁 is it easy to get pictures with the characters at breakfast???

[@Neotheaterr]

Love Ohana! Hope you don't have to reschedule. This stuff is awful !! I hope you have a good trip!

[@natalieg5425]

Janeth J. We have never had problems taking pictures with the characters at Ohana! They do come around at least once! We love getting a table by the windows and get a castle view!

[@natalieg5425]

Janeth J. Every time we go we end our trip with breakfast at Ohana then take the monorail to MK for a little bit before heading to our resort to get the magical express to the airport....it’s kinda become a tradition by now lol

[@amywhittemore3082]

First off, LOVE DFB!!!! We binge watch it as a family!! We did our 1st family Disney trip Nov 2019 - used ALL this info and were sooooooo happy!! Only thing - we did Garden Grove for dinner Not great. Not inedible, but, our least favorite meal while we were there. Only the salad was excellent. I bet breakfast there is great tho

[@lizr4273]

I used to go to Disney a lot as a kid and I'm not sure if I will be able to afford it as an adult so I love listening to these videos just to hear all about Disney now, except sometimes it makes me sad how much has changed at Disney World since I was a child.

[@farah_lynn]

When it comes to a character breakfast, I really want to do the one at Trattoria al Forno because the menu looks yummy and it has my two favorite princesses!

[@Benny-uy5vo]

Omg I love Disney

[@mike_p941]

Made my reservations today for late September. Fingers crossed.

[@stephensanchez2486]

I love your honesty on everything, from the costs and the food quality

[@jcaro1854]

My wife and I went in February and ate at le cellier, chef art smiths restaurant and frontera grill! All excellent

[@tiffprendergast]

J Caro Le cellier! What did u get? Me poutine

[@veronicajude]

J Caro Two of those are favorites of mine, before the closure I was addicted to Homecomin’... I would go to Saratoga to walk around for a couple of hours and walk over to Disney Springs just for their deviled eggs. They don’t tell you that you can order a half order but the bartender let me know and I would wake up some mornings thinking about them. 😆😆😆 I haven’t tried Frontera Grill yet though... what do you like there?

[@Neotheaterr]

Can you inform us what you got? (If you can remember) , sounds awesome!

[@jcaro1854]

Mia Martinez at le cel we got filet... awesome. At frontera we ate off the seasonal menu.

[@jcaro1854]

Tiff Prendergast filet of course. We were told that steak option is the only one actually from Canada

[@LolitaMinako]

The Banana Bread French Toast at Olivia’s is amazing! No syrup, it’s a rum reduction (alcohol is totally cooked out) with coconut whipped cream. Oh. My. Goodness.

[@sambarwell826]

I went to the Crystal palace on my last trip and saw each of the characters about three times

[@Disneybackttalk]

Thank you for another video! I'm also trying to do a video a day on my channel❤️❤️❤️

[@katyannaharris6131]

Best character meals for food and obscure characters are hands down Storybook Dining at Artist's Point (Snow White, The Queen, Dopey, and Grumpy), and Trattoria al Forno (Ariel, Eric, Rapunzel, and Flynn Ryder)

[@x_orellana]

We are scheduled to go to WDW mid August. I hope things are somewhat back to normal. Disney makes me happy. 😊

[@cld9050]

Thank you for making new videos so quickly AJ. If you do another lessons learned you should include disney's ID policy when ordering alcohol on the property. If you are from out of State they will not accept any ID except for your Passport or they won't serve you even though you are clearly middle aged. Who carries their passport around at Disney??

[@justlovinlife16]

CLD they will accept a photo on your phone as long as you have another ID. I did that during my trip so I didn’t have to carry mine.

[@littlemissduckie06]

Their policy on the website states a photo will work if presented with another form of photo ID.

[@debbiemcginley7174]

We loved Garden Grill; last year was the first time experiencing it. Liberty Tree Tavern actually surprised us as well being our first time there. Jungle Navigation and Skipper Canteen has amazing food. And we love Tusker House at Animal Kingdom more so than Yak & Yeti.

[@JulianTheJedi]

I have saved a bunch of your videos to a playlist. It is meant to help me plan for my Disney trip next year

[@DarkEnv2]

My wife and I have 5 on the list booked for our upcoming trip. Only other main one we have that isn’t on the list is Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin which I’m very excited about as well. Thanks for all the great videos AJ and crew. We really appreciate them!

[@NealChauhan]

So happy y'all are still creating content ;)

[@MC-tu4rf]

My reviews Ohana- awesome Be Our Guest- amazing Akershus- great atmosphere, bad food Crystal Palace -awesome Garden Grill - good, got great Haven't eaten at any of the others

[@TiNyBaNgLeTiGeR]

Did you try akershus for breakfast, I got a reservation for breakfast there, I don't see much differentiation in buffet breakfasts

[@richardmercer2337]

Good news -- we agree on so many favorites! Bad news -- you gave away all my secrets and made it harder to get into my favorites! No news -- still need to work on "Akershus"...

[@JasonRBeing]

I will always remember my parents and I went to the Akershus, the waitress said, act like going to the buffet is a competition, whoever uses the most plates wins. We saw others going up and just filling the small plates FULL of food.

[@richardmercer2337]

@@JasonRBeing I just like to bug AJ about pronouncing it... it's pronounced " Ah' -- kers -- hooss ". There is no "sh" sound in it.

[@njt002]

I've counted about 100 restaurants & quick service places I want to try.

[@badbiker666]

Right off the bat I have to say that I LOVE Chef Mickey's. I know AJ and her crew believe that there are many better places to eat and perhaps they are right. But speaking strictly for my wife and I we love the place. Everything AJ said in her review is correct! It is loud. It is crowded. The characters don't spend a lot of time at your table. And the food is adequate, not spectacular (except the cheesy potatoes which are actually to die for). But none of those things are necessarily negatives for us. My kids are grown, so it's just my wife and me. We aren't picky about where we sit or the food we eat. The characters come to our table even though we don't have any little ones with us. They spend what seems like just the right amount of time with us, then we LOVE watching them interact with the kids at the other tables. Last time we were there, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy came by in rapid succession, so I remarked privately to my wife that we met the whole crowd except for Goofy, and a manager overheard me and got Goofy to make a special trip to our table. It was truly magical! We are frequent guests there, and look forward to each and every visit.

[@flyhigh6814]

The Step Sisters are my favorite characters to have met in all my years visiting Disney. They were trash talking Cinderella and the castle and trying to get the men eating at the restaurant to agree to be their princes. One kept asking my brother if he had a castle and if his castle had a giant hole in it.

[@Fraction13]

Everybody's love of Boma baffles me. It was some of the worst food I've ever had and most of the other diners at tables around me (including adults) were only eating the options from the like "safe" kid-friendly section like chicken fingers and mac and cheese.

[@lirr408]

Thank you for this. I was suppose to fly down in May , but I have cancelled and hopefully, will be able to go to Disney in September. I have my two favorites I "must do" when I go to Disney. Raglan Road and House of Blues are my must do restaurants. Tried Enzo's Hideaway last September, loved it. Also, I find the Turf Club in Saratoga Springs good.

[@livonimpulse]

Love your videos! We have a couple of these booked as our ADRs - hoping our trip goes ahead!

[@fightingghosts3950]

Wow I love these great insightful videos about Disney World, I went there when I was ten years old. This showed up in my recommendation and I am pleased, I have just subscribed. Also my initials are DFB

[@lynjenkins6473]

Will be interesting how busy they allow some of the bigger restaurants to get when they open again.

[@DonaldsDisneyGuide]

It's hard to see attractions like these having to limit the capacity. It's just something I'd ever imagine but it's something we are seeing!

[@breshaw7691]

The yak and yeti info is slightly false. You do get extras if you're a landrys select club member, it does cost 25 to sign up and you do get that back but it isn't immediately, it takes about 24hrs after you register the card online so sign up ahead of time. You get 25 dollar credits for every 250 spent combined in any of the restaurants as well and those rewards are also available the next day. Another bonus is priority seating so if you show up and the restaurant is on a wait list, mention you're a landrys member and it moves you to the top of the list.

[@HollyMarieL]

I really hope they open Disney again soon. So I can start planning my trip 💖

[@Malachi57]

We did breakfast at the Be Our Guest restaurant, but we knew about the side room (the rose room to the left). I know the breakfast was standard meh, but the atmosphere in the room was awesome (my daughter loved it) and we got in before rope drop for some great pics with less crowds! DFB talked about it in a video last year, so I knew what I was in for, and I was ok with the negatives in order to get the positives. but Definitely do the rose room if you're going for breakfast. It's first come, first serve, so you have to take your chances, but we loved it.

[@katyannaharris6131]

My husband is obsessed with the carmelized cheese at Akershus breakfast!

[@frankv9344]

20 minutes of magic thanks AJ

[@476digital3]

Chef Mickey I loved as a kid, but as a teenager it got old. Me and my parents always stayed in the Grand Floridian, and my favorite restaurant for breakfast was actually the one in the hotel, where they had the Mickey waffles with sprinkles. OMG they were so good, and then I remember always rushing my parents to finish breakfast because we would take the to one of the parks after it. Also, there was a really bad quick service place in the grand floridan I loved because it had an arcade in it. We ate there a few times when we didn't have time to eat in the parks.

[@HemlockRidge]

Jiko at Animal kingdom Resort has the very best Mac-n-Cheese I've ever tasted. You don't think about M&C at a fine restaurant until you try it.

[@maromi4251]

I absolutely love Buma 🤍🤍 the food is amazing and full of flavor

[@laurenjcoates]

It's not a DFB video unless AJ is dunking on Chef Mickey's

[@anyalee5056]

This was super helpful thankyou! I was wondering if you could maybe do a video showcasing all the best vegetarian/vegan dishes in wdw as this is something my family always struggles with and is why we dont often eat proper meals within the park ☺

[@KaijuInvadesNYC]

I'd be happy to just be able to go to Cosmic Ray's at this point.

[@logankade557]

Haha

[@GetOffTheLawn]

If you haven't done it. Go to Be Our Guest for dinner!! Totally worth it. The food and location are amazing. We met the Beast and while we were in there a couple got engaged. Even the Beast was impressed!

[@georgeg.7124]

It never gets old watching their repeat video footage of Topolino's Terrace because of the blonde woman wearing the leopard print top.

[@debrahstevens7758]

These tips are useful, and I am a fan of the DFB videos and website. Any info available on Disney vacations is good to know. HOWEVER, it us hard to put into context comments such as "mediocre," "really pricey," and "super expensive." Ratings and comparisons are more useful, and offer ways to evaluate the choices. "As of summer 2020, the average ticket for 2 adults and 2 pre-teens, for lunch at Olivia's was $80, excluding gratuity." This included sodas and tea, an appetizer, and entrees for each person. They skipped dessert and had a quick service breakfast four hours earlier. Menu items are shareable, and our pre-teens said it was better than most park food. Mom compared it to non-park restaurants like Mimis. "It's a place Grandma would like." Maybe have more information and concentrate on fewer restaurants at a time. Or cover one aspect such as service, atmosphere, or a specific item. For example, the famousCobb Salad at The Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios is chopped. One listener specfically doesn't order it because of that.

[@xavierm5039]

Hey AJ can you do a video about the best foods for vegetarians/pescatarians please. It would be really great if you could 😊

[@wendymccoy1093]

I'm so sad that katsura grille never gets mentioned. I hope it hadnt gone downhill. It was so good when I ate there!

[@mrozie826]

Yay! You mentioned Olivia's :)

[@debrahstevens7758]

A idea for a future show if to answer questions from readers about dining or hotels by going to the place in question. Maybe one person gets on answer, and another person gets a different answer, which is ok, because a point these videos make is that there is inconsistency, and that's ok, too. For example, can I get a Cobb Salad at Brown Derby that is unchopped? Will my hotel allow a late checkout? Just random things.

[@andiefisher5646]

Would love a video on top "foodie" experiences and restaurants at Disney World - unless this already exists and I can't find it? Dfb fans, please advise!

[@ldy0013]

Can you please do this with all of Disney Land including the hotels? As someone who’s only been to Disney World I’ve always wanted to go to Disney Land but would have no idea where to start with food if I went.

[@BennyGROUNDS]

First! I love your channel!🥰

[@MTOAdventures]

Totally disagree with you about 1900 Park Fayre and 50s Prime Time. Thought food at both of them was excellent!

[@karrenbrown8453]

I usually feel well informed with your channel/ info but the Top of the World restaurant is NOTHING like California Grill except they both are in the same place. In an other video you implied the CG has been there since the opening of the hotel- which it has not. And yes, I do have happy family memories of Top of the World and was disappointed when it closed but I do enjoy Calf Grill even more. (The show was a bit dated). Maybe do a show about the great places that have closed? (All the fun Pleasure Island rest & clubs especially) thanks for keeping the magic alive!!

[@chickensoupnoodle7]

This is helping me prepare for my trip soon. If you have any tips please tell me!!

Not sure if this comment will get seen, but my family would love a video about all the lounges (Nomad lounge, Tambu lounge, etc.)! We’ve eaten at most of the restaurants, but we’ve never been to any of the lounges and would love to see a video dedicated to them! (Also we love your content and we’re addicted to watching your videos during Quarantine) 💛

[@vwhite3055]

I wonder how the buffets will operate after the reopening (or if there will be buffets). I'm sure they're being rethought. Also, the top restaurant at AK is a Landry's owned eatery? Its good, but a far cry from Tiffins.

[@lyricwhite2407]

I went to Be Our Guest in October for dinner. I only liked the lobster soup which is the entre or something and I liked the desert. Other than that, the food wasn't very good, however I loved getting to look into the different rooms even though I didn't eat in all the rooms I still got to look at them and meeting the Beast was so fun. Also the waiters were really nice. I went to the Fountain (I think it was the Fountain) near the Dolphin Hotel and we went there mainly for the shakes. One of the most popular was the Peanut Butter and Jelly shake however I did not like it and barely drank any of it. Most people tend to like it but I didn't and the rest of the food was basically fast food stuff. Not very many options for vegetarians or vegans.

[@cherylhale5755]

I wonder if they will be doing character meals when they first open up the parks/resorts.

[@tannerjoye9848]

Am I the only one who absolutely loves rainforest cafe..? 😂

[@MelissaJSams]

Our 2019 Ohana breakfast experience was unfortunately our top worst dinning to date.

[@andiefisher5646]

Yeah I went in 2019 and wasn't a fan either... It had been so hyped and then we had really long wait times, bad service and mediocre food. We're not big character meal people, though, so maybe it would have been better for people who are more into that aspect of the experience.

[@Ajrn386]

Ohana isn’t worth the hype, at least for breakfast. We love dinner at Ohana.

[@cherylhale5755]

I wonder if there will be any buffet restaurants anymore. Probably not for a long time after reopening.
