BEST & WORST Disney Dining Plan 1 Credit Table Service Restaurants! | Best & Worst 02/01/17

[@daniellebrewer8141]

I have been obsessed with watching all of the Best & Worst episodes! Here I am in February 2020 watching episodes from 2017. They’re so good I can’t help myself😂 Love this series!!!!

[@raiderwrong5388]

Haha me too!

[@ashleybernstein7786]

Great video - would be cool if you guys showed photos or video when naming each of the restaurants to get an image of what they look like

[@TinkTink311]

Tony's should be replaced by a Princess Tiana Cajun restaurant. I'd love that. I know they have one kind of at Port Oreans, but it isn't "Tiana's Place".

[@LauraGlorybelle]

I was thinking just today that there needs to be a Tiana's Place at Disney! Although, Tony's is a reference to Lady and the Tramp, so perhaps it should stay as is (with improved food). But I would absolutely eat at Tiana's Place!

[@viviangreenwood2446]

Tink D I definitely agree with you! They need a Tianas place and I would be fine with them getting rid of tonys, it's disgusting

[@chillslug]

Tink D Nope, they're never getting rid of Tony's for a princess that nobody even cares that much about

[@TinkTink311]

We Are Barry Bee Benson By "no body" you mean white people? Oh Ok.

[@TinkTink311]

We Are Barry Bee Benson By "no body" you mean white people? Oh Ok.

[@johnnary]

I hope you guys do the best and worst buffets

[@lisasecula4274]

Great suggestion!

[@Zarkagine]

Boma & Biergarten are my fav buffets

[@Beepbopboop19]

Zarkagine yes! Boma was so great 🍽

[@Kanagaloosh12]

Great suggestion!

[@LemonGoofball]

I like crystal palace

[@darkcitydan]

I’m dying at Dr. McFeelGood... 😂😂😂😂

[@erikjacobsen1180]

Dinner at O'hana is a no question must eat every single time I come home to WDW! The food, service, atmoshere, and the view overlooking Seven Seas Lagoon and fireworks are amazing.

[@johng689]

No spoiler here... I just knew the #1 worst, I was laughing so hard when Pete said "sewage on your plate" . I agree with the whole list. Thank you for a great show.

[@2b_unique_d]

I love this channel. I'm excited to do Disney for the first time as a mom! I've been as a care-free teen, but I need to do some actual planning this time. I plan on doing it RIGHT thanks to you all!

[@eudoradeveraux158]

Totally agree about Boatwright's. I absolutely love POR Riverside and it's so disappointing that the home restaurant is so bad. I would love to go help them turn that around! New menu, real Cajun food, correct execution of food, and a little bit of a better atmosphere. The resort deserves a better restaurant! Love you guys!

[@dobermangroundzero82]

Can you guys redo this one in 2019!!

[@kelseywheeler6167]

I'm glad I found this video when I did. I have not been to disney for 10 years and I never ate at Tony's. I decided to make a reservation for my family there this time because we were already going to be in Magic Kingdom that day so why not? I was surprised to see it on this list because the reviews are around average three ish stars. No-one really trashed it online. I would have felt awful if I booked a terrible dinner for my parents. I was able to switch it to one of the Epcot Italian places so thank you :) .

[@baileysings1999]

The EPCOT Italian places are absolutely amazing. I remember I got the cheese ravioli at the restaurant we went to last time and I literally would have licked my plate clean if I hadn't been in public 😂 you will enjoy it!

[@ohplezz]

The problem with videos like this is 4 months later at WDW the restaurants quality can go up or, most often, drop down very quickly. So whats good 6 months ago could be garbage today.

[@LK-oq5sx]

I love this guy's critic on San Angel! I love the atmosphere but dislike the food! Most of the restaurants they down rated are overrated anyway but I love how he points them out.

[@tahlialea8282]

Completely agree with this video except I will always love rainforest cafe because of nostalgia and the volcano desert

[@TheStarryNightRhone]

I completely agree with you that 'Ohana is incredible. This past April, I took my very first trip to Disney World, and even though my friend and I were both 21, I had to book the Lilo and Stitch breakfast. Not only was the food delicious, but the character interactions were so memorable that I will treasure my time there always. They made my entire trip. Everything was amazing, but it was the first thing I did while in Disney, and it completely set the tone for a wonderful trip.

[@kendralandry9659]

I called to make an ADR at Tony's Town Square for July and they were completely booked, but the lovely cast member suggested that Be Our Guest had an opening for our party size! After seeing this I am super glad we will not be at Tony's. My husband is Italian and we are kind of used to amazing sauce ( mine is ok, but I am referring to his mother's and Nani's sauce). Thanks for the reviews!!

[@lexilove8900]

Kendra Landry Be Our Guest is spectacular. There food is delicious...but the restaurant itself is breathtaking. You will not be disappointed. ❤⚘

[@jackg.7745]

Your list is 100% on point. One more honorable mention for best could also be Biergarten. Our family loves it especially during the Christmas holiday season. Another good one is Le Chefs de France.

[@lifebeginsat4081]

I am so happy you put Ohana on the best list. It's one of mine and my 6 year old favorite restaurant's on property. I used to work at Disney and the food has changed a lot. I'm a local and pass holder so I've eaten almost everywhere.

[@barbarabrooks509]

Ohana breakfast is the best ever .. I go every time I visit even if I have to pay out of pocket.. all my kids and grandkids love it too..

[@Mrtfarrugia]

barbara brooks I don't know if you tried the dinner but it's good to.

[@josiejumpxoxox]

it would be super helpful if you guys could put the lists in the description box on your worst and best videos! thanks

[@carlm3053]

Nice to see you talking about the dining plan, would be good to see more of this

[@loisperillo6672]

I agree with Tony's Town Tavern! Here in the Pittsburgh area, we have a jar sauce from a restaurant in Greensburg, called Rizzo's!! I would like to highly recommend it to them if they insist on jar or canned sauce!!! It was okay, but I agree, it tasted like frozen thawed food to me. I never ate at Ohana, but we ate at the luau and I did NOT like the food. Someone told me they served the same, not sure. I don't like sweet stuff on my meats.

[@michaeljpatrick5335]

The luau food and the Ohana food are completely different...

[@11142002th]

We love Tusker House. It was our first character breakfast on our first ever WDW trip in 2010. We had an amazing time. The character interaction was great. My son was scared and Daisy showed hime special attention!

[@amandag963]

I make a point to eat at San Angel Inn for lunch every time I go to WDW. I will say that the appetizers and enchiladas are not spectacular (they're eh), but I go back there (only for lunch) for the Tortilla Soup. Every time it's spectacular. It's the, honest to goodness, surprisingly enough, best most authentic tortilla soup I've had since I lived in El Paso, TX. I do not use the TS credit, I choose to just pay cash because value-wise I'd like to use the TS for a more expensive TS restaurant.

[@whereismyleash]

I really appreciate the comments on the tusker house it's my only character meal booked for my upcoming trip. Thanks so much for the advice!!

[@suzies8986]

Yall are so much fun! So glad I found your channel. I'm blessed to be an annual pass holder and still learned some good stuff. Keep on doing what you do.

[@Hoffmann604]

Is it possible for you guys to inter-splice photos or video of the restaurants and meals you're referring to? IMO that would take this video/review from good to great.

[@8polyglot]

I agree! I've watched a handful of their videos, really interesting content. But I haven't been to Disney in over a decade and found myself google image searching all of these places they brought up. Images would make it so much more inclusive.

[@hremaddox]

Best meals I had at Disney world are the buffet at Boma and Ohana. I can't go to Disney without going to dinner at Ohana. It's fabulous. I usually schedule a breakfast and a dinner there.

[@jasonsandi9437]

Be our guest has finally become a 2 table credit restaurant! Thank you Pete!

[@jasminerose709]

I agree! Tusker House was amazing. It had the best food and it was probably one of my favourite, if not my favourite, dining experience the whole time we were in Disney.

[@donna0805]

I'm surprised Coral Reef didn't make the worst list. I feel like their menu hasn't changed in 10 years. Would love for you guys to do a dining review there soon. Thanks for another Best & Worst!!

[@ZakkuTakku]

I ate there my last trip. Liked the atmosphere, but wasn't too impressed with the food.

[@hremaddox]

Coral reef was the worst! Awful food, awful service, dirty looking carpet, and there honestly was barely any fish that even swam by. Never again.

[@tombennett4293]

Ate in Coral Reef two years running. The food on the first occasion was poor but thought we'd give it another try. Next time food was even worse. Terrible. Will not go there again ... ever!

[@happilyevanafter]

the crystal palace at breakfast has always been my go to. its all u can eat with tons of excellent breakfast foods and character dining. love it!

[@roseawen5961]

Annual Disney traveler and we love Boma and Tusker House. The vegetable tandoori is amazing among everything else! And those zebra cakes yummy!

[@twixieshores]

Agreed about Boma being the best restaurant on Disney property. I have made it a tradition that arrival night dinner is at Boma. It ensures that my vacation starts off on the right foot. Even when I make it a point to try new restaurants, I can't bring myself to skip it.

[@domvan118]

Thanks... You guys do a great job. Very helpful.

[@HannahPartyOfOne]

San Angel Inn is one of my favorites! I do wonder what you guys are eating... because what I always get is consistently amazing! My mom also LOVED it, and she’s a huge Mexican food fan. San Angel is in my top 5 for sit down Epcot restaurants.

[@spmarsh3747]

Pete, you are so right: Tony's is the worst! Not only was the food bad, the service was as well which is so unusual for Disney! How about sharing your red sauce recipe with us! GREAT video, thank you!

[@Primetimers]

I love this show! We are going to Disney fall 2018 and it's good to know about making reservations early. Ps I agree about the best and worst buffets.

[@justlinds7552]

Love your show and the reviews. Helps me prepare for my trips

[@mysteriousyoungman]

I agree wholeheartedly about Tusker House. My wife and I had dinner there and it was amazing. I cannot say enough good things about the food. The character interaction was also great. Even though we were two adults in our 30's we were having a ball with Mickey and the gang.

[@padmeraven7290]

I cannot believe you guys excluded Liberty Tree Tavern as one of the best 1 credit. I love LTT, and it is an underrated character dinner. Yes the food is home style but for people with picky pallets the food is very good, and it is all you can eat, although I am satisfied with one serving but it is very good

[@katherineandjeanette2537]

Boma breakfast one of our favorites!

[@drewc3350]

Taking an 8 day trip in May and this was incredibly informative. You guys are great !

[@maxlyday7485]

Tusker House is a great experience. Our last trip we ended up getting a reservation around a "brunch" time, we ended up getting the last bit of breakfast and the fresh lunch. Made for a great value.

[@hiighrolla]

I will be at ohana's in 2 weeks and I can not wait at all.

[@katierowen3166]

Absolutely nailed the top two picks. Both places are outstanding!!

[@MoKXGu1]

Tusker House is awesome for food and characters . Take your kids there for the characters and enjoy the incredible food .

[@rileysunderland1904]

I will never go to Disney World without going to Ohana. Still to this day one of the best meals I've ever had.

[@n1rockyfan]

One of my favorite shows! You guys should bring back the graphics of the #1-5 and stuff like you did a few years ago

[@Sneezy1956]

Totally agree with your opinion of Hollywood and Vine worse meal we ever had. It would be number one on worse.

[@dobie520]

Have loved your site for years and years and your KZbin page is awesome. We are going in June. I was late to the party for planning at `180 days. Really wanted Ohana but was having no luck. Four days ago I got a 4:00 time for Ohana....doing such a happy dance.

[@jimleonard4100]

Love it when Pete says 'Crap'

[@FatalRanger-fo1gx]

You mean curahp

[@SpencersVentures]

Tusker House is soooo awesome! We try to go once per trip.

[@stevefrazier4281]

How about best and worst Value, Moderate, Deluxe resorts (cleanliness, service, food...). Knowing most have passing marks; which stand out to you guys? ....Just a thought....

[@richardstarr5742]

I did morning radio for years and just last month had my first Disney World experience and needless to say I am so jealous. I would love to do this for a living. I absolutely loved Disney. If you are ever looking to add to the staff, I'm there!

[@ginadeal707]

Omg... Boatwright's Shrimp and Grits are to die for!!! Love the food!

[@HeidiSKulesh]

Dr. McFeelGood -- Cracks me up[ every time Pete talks about her, or I see her pic!! ROTFL!!

[@missyh5696]

Sorcerer Heidi lol it is hilarious!!

[@kristenfoote1136]

Be Our Guest is becoming a 2 ticket table service restaurant. We were there in September, and our waiter told us that they were in the process of changing the menu.

[@kathleenkolman7035]

Kristen Foote only at dinner. Breakfast and lunch are both quick service and 1 credit still

[@bob68]

It’s been done, they were nice enough to tell us and wipe the cancelation fee when we checked in

[@beachhouse13]

We recently went to Disney and went to Be Our Guest for lunch, which was only a quick service. I couldn't believe that it was included as a quick service on the dining plan. Great atmosphere, more expensive items, but oh was it worth it. Even if you do not have the dining plan. The BEST quick service I have had at Disney. I could only imagine how good it is as a sit down restaurant.

[@SeatherineJent]

beachhouse13 they dont do the QS lunch anymore?

[@donnyberesheim]

Always love the rants about Tony's. Could not agree more, hopefully the rumors are true and it is getting redone.

[@iagomega]

Tusker House is amazing! And I totally didn't realize it was character dining when we booked as well! If you're there for your birthday, you'll get a signed card by the characters and a special cupcake! Seriously amazing service!

[@Kyoudan86]

Awesome list! My wife and I are doing the Sense's of Africa tour which includes breakfast at Boma's. Very much looking forward to it!

[@hashtagheadies6594]

favorite show, keep up the good work

[@amandalavezzola8955]

hey pete!! how about tossing that red sauce recipe this way!! :)

[@missyh5696]

I remember years ago- we stayed at Port Orleans Riverside. We went to Boatrights on our first night & it was spectacular. My father loved it just from the one meal... so he wanted to keep going back when we got in late for dinner, etc... it was a fluke. They brought us the wrong meals, we were there forever... we thought the wait staff got lost the one time, or the closed & left us there! Horrible.

[@revolttt]

Hey Pete, just wanted to let you know that the US flag in the shadow box is behind you is folded in correctly and considered a "bleeding flag" since the banner is showing and should only display the union (1 star in the top row, 3 stars in the second row and 5 in the final row) it's actually a pretty easy fix but understand if it is a bereavement flag.

[@michaelboonee]

Best and worst rides worth fastpassing

[@dabulous8460]

Tiff Prendergast yes you do

[@antp2004]

Tiff Prendergast Ride Avatar: Flight of Passage without fastpass. I DARE YOU!

[@eveelizabeth4286]

They have a discussion about that in one of their podcasts, can’t remember which one exactly but I’m sure you could find it.

[@larrylewis1099]

Yes Pete, Boma has been our favorite for many years. This is partly because with have vegetarians in our family. Personally, I love the meats and still have a great memory of the last rib I ate there. We also love Sanaa but it is not as wonderful. I love their bread service but it fills me up.

[@gracewsho]

Oliver’s brows are so clean I get hypnotized

[@ericteneyck8691]

Sanaa has been my #1 for years now. I don't like some of the spices, but things I DO like there, I really like. We tend to eat there more than once a trip.

[@jackg.7745]

My family and I have eaten at every one of these restaurants. Most of them multiple, multiple times. Your review is 100% spot on. We've given Tony's way too many chances. It has been better in the past but the last few years...horrible. My understanding from staff is that management changes very regularly there and typically it gets worse each time. On the flip side...We could eat at Boma every freaking night. We've stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge just to be close to Jenko and Boma...The best.

[@rebekahallen6188]

You're right about changes to Be Our Guest. As of this August (2018) the price will change to $55 per person regardless of what you order.

[@promisestarxd9487]

Totally agree about rainforest cafe, we have one in Houston and I never thought it was good . Especially considering the price.

[@kimhyland1023]

BOMA! We are a family of 3 picky non-adventurous eaters and we LOVED it!

[@michellecok5036]

Shocked at San Angel being one of the worst :( Had it last August on our honeymoon and loved it so much we went back another time during that trip... We're from Southern California and know good Mexican food, thought San Angel was some of the most authentic and genuinely good Mexican food we've ever had

[@Dani_FL23]

Michelle Cok ITA Michelle.... I've been to San Angel Inn MANY times over the years. It's one of our go-to restaurants in Epcot. Mexican food is our family favorite and we are always pleased when we go there. Just goes to show how different people have different tastes/experiences.

[@sippycup1313]

I love these options. It's unfortunate that Disney continues to increase the number of signature dining options while the single credit table service options remain or decrease in numbers. I hope they don't promote Ohana to signature any time soon!

[@TheRealConcertKing]

I wouldn't be shocked if they make Be Our Guest, Boma, Tusker House, and Ohana all 2 dining plan credits in the near future.

[@sippycup1313]

TheRealConcertKing noooooooo!! They should increase the price of the dining plan. The price difference between the second tier dining plan and the deluxe dining plan is not negligible. Bummer.

[@matthewbuchanan3174]

I've been crunching some numbers and I think they wont do Tusker House or Ohana soon because their prices don't justify the move. If you crunch the numbers on what comes with a deluxe dining plan lunch/dinner credit (appetizer, entree, desert, drink) Ohana and Tusker at the best value for Disney as they don't require individual plating the seats are already guaranteed to be full. The guys did make sure to state they weren't talking about the value of the meal credits but rather how they rank those on the list already. I am interested in the value of the plan because that then draws into question if I should use a meal credit or is it best for me to pay out of pocket. I would like to see an episode after someone crunched the numbers a bit as some sites seemed to argue with my numbers (again could just be menu updates) and then it can be on if the value is worth justifying use of a credit. For example Tony's Town Square is a $63 credit (tying it for 17th place) as you getting the most expensive things on the menu but its not worth going according to the Dis team. Morimoto Asia on the other hand is an $83 credit under the same standard. This also develops the question many planning their trips have for should you use a credit for breakfast (which Ohana breakfast would seem t be justified, or do you save the credit, use a snack credit for breakfast and then do somewhere nicer for dinner).

[@hollybrugha2207]

I doubt they will do this at least at TH and Boma - they will have to change the service model. None of the Signature (2-credit) restaurants are buffet style. I wasn't impressed with 'Ohana they forgot us (even though we checked in at both meals on our 2012 trip) I won't be able to get my dad to go back (there were just too many service failures). That is why there are so many different choices in the "World".

[@curlyclouds9]

We had the earliest reservation for breakfast at Boma and got a taxi to get there. Worth it! Great food great experience

[@shawnsprague7401]

Totally agree... Tony's is the worst... can't believe we wasted a reservation on this restaurant.

[@demobri2731]

I tend to agree with the Kona Cafe being on the best list, however, service there has been spotty at best at least the times I have been there.

[@FilmAppreciationSociety]

Never been to Captain's Grill but Rainforest, San Angel Inn, Boatwrights and Tony's were all terrible last time I visited them. Hollywood & Vine was awful as well, bad food and tables were full of dirty plates that weren't cleared away for the whole time I was there.

[@themultitask-er9491]

Boma is the BEST buffet in Disney world

[@BBQSauceman]

Be our guest was one of our favorites, also House of Blues at Disney Springs was awesome.

[@Mrtfarrugia]

Dr Mcfeelgood and her Motley Crew.

[@jacksonmooney3900]

I went to both Be Our Guest and Rainforest for breakfast. And I found the service and food quality to be much much better at Rainforest.

[@tyronesweety]

Any idea when the free Disney Dining Plan promotion is?

[@merrymermaid]

Tim Calaway it's on right now!

[@dlfendel2844]

It has been a while since I used the plan and I have a procedural question: Since you are paying with a "credit"--do you still see the retail value of the meal so you can calculate the appropriate tip? ALSO, if you order the Ohana feast via room service, do they add a room service charge to the bill in addition to the "credit" that pays for it?

[@JohnRiches]

DL Fendel You get the bill showing the total charges first. You write your tip, then they bring you a new bill showing $0.00 plus your tip

[@michellebelden1867]

What characters are at Tusker house

[@Plum_bird]

Michelle Belden Safari Donald and Friends

[@traci4750]

LOL! I really didn't care for Boma. LOVED the decor! Maybe it was just an off day for me. Planning on trying it again. Zebra Dome didn't have any flavor at all.

[@theangrypatient3732]

Traci Riley im with you!!! I am one of the few who thinks nearly the entire AKL experience is overrated. (Animals a big exception) I love the atmosphere but the rooms are dark and the two times I have stayed the service was horrid.....extremely pretentious.

[@michellerbn]

i love the rainforest cafe!!!!

[@colquhouncrew2835]

lol that awkward moment when you last minute, last evening, eat at Tony's and loved it.... haha... their salad was amazing and the parm chicken was so good... and I have eaten at Epcot's amazing Italian restaurant at a previous trip... aw well, I must have been lucky :P

[@bonniegalvan2745]

Never been to WDW, but when we went to Disneyland for the first time with our daughter, my husband wanted to do Rainforest Cafe because of the theming. We were excited. It was waaaaaaay overpriced. Yes, it's neat inside, but the food is just basic chain restaurant food, no flavor, tiny portions, etc. It made me depressed that we spent so much of our hard-earned money for that! The service wasn't very good, either.

[@saxonrulesrock]

Great show! Tusker house is so good, tried it for the first time on our trip last summer. Wish we tried krona since we were staying at the Polynesian. Next time! We actually had a good meal at Hollywood & vine a couple of years ago, no characters though

[@nursesars]

We did the Festival of Fantasy Package at Tony's Town Square and we enjoyed it! My husband and I thought it was worth the one meal credit to have reserved parade seats. We liked the food (not the best, but it was fine!!).

[@gruknarorcishwar-yerhereto8489]

i know rainforest cafe is hit and miss but there is somethings that are always good, last time I ate there my chicken fried steak was the size of a cat. My personal favorite disney dining experiance was of course the buffet at the animal kingdom hotel or the "luau" experiance at the polyneasian but those i dont think even take the meal plan at all

[@suehypno4u]

I noticed the other day, while looking at restaurants on the official WDW site, that when you click on the Dining Plan pop-up info for Be Our Guest, it lists breakfast, lunch, and dinner options for 2017, but only breakfast for 2018. It appears that it's phasing out the dining plan for lunch and dinner in 2018, unless that was an error.

[@michaelpivon]

Thanks for the video!!

[@MaryannBushx3]

On my trip last September I ate at 3 of the 5 best! They were all amazing. First time I've ever had lamb and duck. I'll definitely be going back on my next trip, if I can score reservations. . . 😉

[@RedDogTango]

I cook at boma!!

[@Elle0704]

I would love to see a video on a 9 min red sauce!!!!!!

[@heatherbrowntravel3568]

can you use your dining credit for Ohana even if u order it for room service?
