Ranking EVERY Restaurant in Magic Kingdom

Today’s restaurant ranking video is gonna be one of the WILDEST and (potentially) most UNPREDICTABLE of the ranking videos we’ve done so far? Why? Because the way we feel about Magic Kingdom’s restaurants have drastically CHANGED as of late. (And we wanna make sure you’re kept in the loop when it comes to what places are impressing us… and which are leaving something to be desired.)

Cosmic Rays was the WORST food we had on our whole trip. Skipper’s Canteen was the best!

[@suewalton8822]

Agree with you there. Cosmic Rays needs to get some better food. At least have better food than a gas station, seriously 😂

[@texascoinhunter]

We go to Cosmic Ray’s only if we are hot, to sit inside. The food is average at best.

[@annecampbell4596]

Agree 100%

[@PiyanistMC]

A trip to disney world is 2x more expensive for me cuz I live in the EU and planes are expensive

[@tracywebb2653]

Cosmic Rays was the place I would take the kids to cool down and they would watch Sunny. It went downhill when they took the fixing bar out.

[@doingitwelldotbiz]

Why can't I stop dreaming about Sleepy Hollow?? Chicken and Waffles has my lightly southern heart 😻

[@dfbbreea]

Sweet dreams! 😴 🧇 🍗

[@GhassanTheBomb]

I can’t wait to have mine I miss it 😢

[@APKlosky]

An impromptu visit to Skipper Canteen was one of the best choices that we made this past August. Got my wife, daughter, and myself away from my extended family, while cooling us down in a quiet dining room (i believe the SEA room; it only had 6 tables in it). The food was spectacular, the service was on point, and we were able to fill our water bottles with actual ice water before we left!

[@dfbbreea]

Ahhh! A fellow Skipper Canteen fan! 💖

[@theotakuplays5160]

it's one of my husband and I's favorites. We had it on our first trip with a reservation, so we were happily surprised on our honeymoon when we managed to get a walk up for lunch. My favorite were the lamb chops dipped into the chimchurri sauce, and they have a really good dolewhip float last we went; although fair warning, it's full of sugar.

[@nannybeadling1227]

Be Our Guest had a spectacular breakfast. They delivered a delicious plate of pastries to your table before your breakfast and there were yummy savory breakfast options. Really miss this!

[@birbluv9595]

Me too. The staff was wonderful and the pastries delicious! What a shame that they changed

[@jenniferherget7491]

I used to love this. My daughter, now 15, still talks about eating fruit loops in the castle like a princess. It was the most fun to eat breakfast there and a lower cost option for a magical moment. It was a great fancy breakfast with fussy eaters too. I was so sad when I realized we can't do that again. Some of the magic left when they stopped that.

[@paullee3996]

Nah

[@Wonkt]

I have no intention to go to Disney world anytime soon but I love the videos!

[@andybiz4273]

I LOOOOOOOOVE Liberty Tree Tavern! Thanksgiving for life!!!!!

[@roseoctober393]

Skipper Canteen also has an awesome allergy chef and made a great meal for someone with quite a few restrictions 😊

[@josephdecicco3177]

We did Crystal Palace for breakfast and Liberty during our last trip MLK week. Loved both.

[@RLucas3000]

Love Crystal Palace! Highly recommend Sanaa and/or Boma the next time you go back.

[@josephdecicco3177]

@@RLucas3000, I would love to try them both but my wife & kids are picky

[@nn17fi99]

My girlfriend and I have eaten at tonys the last two trips and watched the parade both times. We both LOVED our meal and ofcourse the parade view was incredible. Would highly recommend it!

[@markgiamma4817]

Colombia Harbour House was always my favorite restaurant. I loved the clam chowder soup but if I remember correctly I think you mentioned in video that it is no longer on the menu.

[@asianfoodnotes]

Mouthwatering! 🤤 Your passion for food is contagious. Keep up the great work!

[@williammcgovern8745]

Excellent list. We love Skipper Canteen.

[@musicaltheatresingalongs4121]

I love that you put these in score order this time! That's a true "ranking" video and left me eager to see what would come out on top.

[@Jay-zp7oh]

I am so impressed by the quality of your videos. Thanks for the invaluable information 🤠

[@DeMarsh1003]

Love hyping up my Disney vacation! Two weeks to the honeymoon!!!

[@GeekyMedia]

Me too!

[@suewalton8822]

Liberty Tree Tavern!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yum!!!!😋

[@dfbbreea]

SO YUM! 😋

[@danip3270]

I’m headed to Canteen this week. Went for the first time last year on your recommendation. It was great, and with it climbing the list, I’m even more excited to try it again!

[@jennifermorgan5431]

I so agree! Skipper Canteen's is our favorite MK restaurant. Columbia Harbor House is our 2nd favorite.

[@hardytyler1492]

I absolutely think that the corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese, dole whip, and the noodles at taumu(sp?) were amazing they lived up to the hype! i absolutely loved liberty tree tavern as well. yall do an amazing job!!!

[@ryanwiersema7251]

Skippers for sure! Harbor House is our second too and we always eat upstairs. The first time there was during our Keys to the Kingdom tour. Glad we took in Be Our Guest back in the day. The theming there is absolutely amazing! Old School Disney, like Skippers.

[@annlavine3576]

Columbia is a fav plus Skippers

[@Wrighcr20]

Went in early January before school started back up. Crystal Palace was great for breakfast but my 5 year old was very eager to get going on some rides. Wife and I had Harbor House by ourselves and it was great. Quick food and lots of seating up stairs. I enjoyed to Lobster Roll. Cosmic Rays was great for grabbing Cheshire Cat and Friars Nooks snacks in fantasyland and having a table out of the rain.

[@TheJoker718]

Happy 15th anniversary, AJ 🎉

[@patrickms94]

Quincy, I’ve missed these types of videos so much 🥰

[@jmidkiff]

I and my three grown daughters (19-25) visited MK January 16th and had dinner at Skipper Canteen. We had a very good meal! However, I did not like the Taste Like Chicken entree due to too much breading and not enough chicken! But the steak, pork, and noodles rocked! The theming was super fun and we got to sit at the butterfly booth! So glad we took the leap and tried something new.

[@cyndigregoire5775]

My son and I had a wonderful experience at Tony's earlier this month, the garlic bread was to die for the Pasta was good typical Pasta, but our server was the most incredible guy. We had the best time and he made the entire evening the highlight of the day. If you can ask for Mohammed, I highly recommend it!

[@olafpamela]

CONGRATULATION on 15 years of giving us great content 🎉👍🏻♥️. Thanks DFB team 👍🏻🥰

[@LuvGokunut]

Liberty Tree Tavern. We went on AJ's recommendation in 2021, and we were NOT disappointed. Very delicious food. Very cool setting. I think this restaurant might get overlooked because it's not glitzy nor does it have characters, but it was an awesome experience.

[@hotwig68]

I think you got this right. My personal fav is Liberty Tree, but have yet to try Skippers. Heard it's great. Columbia house is great too for quick service.

[@finland4ever55]

Cosmic Ray's is a place I have fond memories of. I only went to DW once but this was the restauraunt we went to for both lunch and dinner. It's simple in terms of both food and aesthetic but I find it appealing (although maybe it's just nostalgia).

[@pinkrhodeblush]

Thankgod i got to experience BOG before it changed

[@elainehill5931]

Me too! Back when you could actually meet with the Beast and take photos.

[@user-xs7dw8et6j]

Ditto on Be Our Guest. It was great at first and now they're asking CRT prices for a lacking experience. We"ve returned multiple times to CRT but not to BOG. Definitely do it once if you're a big fan but it's not worth repeat visits

[@SSobotkaJr]

Glad to see The Plaza made your Top 5! I go there for their meatloaf patter, and of course those MILKSHAKES!!! I know there's a few selections on this list that aren't people's favorites, but here's my Top Five take on getting Eats in Disney World (this may include some places outside the main park): #1 -- The Plaza #2 -- Rainforest Cafe (Pricey, yes, but the portions usually are worth the price! Love the salads and the Smokey Baby Back Ribs!) #3 -- Ghiradelli's (Love their chocolates and sundaes!) #4 -- Cosmic Ray's (Always a tradition for me to grab a burger here after going through my Tomorrow Land faves) #5 -- TIE! : The Spring Roll Cart / Sunshine Terrace (LOVE the Cheeseburger Rolls & Getting my Dole Whip fix conveniently nearby!)

[@christinac6710]

The cheeseburger at Cosmic Rays was actually pretty good. I wouldn’t pick this place as a choice, but we went there during a rain downpour and that burger was great.

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

Fantastic video! I generally don't eat at Magic Kingdom (we'd take the monorail around to a hotel), but you did an amazing job with them here. We finally ate at Liberty Tree Tavern right before Covid, when they still had an a la carte lunch - the turkey pot pie and fish & chips were OUTSTANDING, and of course the toffee dessert was like the best dessert I ever had in Disney. But since we've gone back post-Covid, they only have the Thanksgiving menu, so we haven't gone back. I also remember loving The Plaza as an 8-year-old in early 1990 after being disappointed by Tony's (but I want all that cheese now!). Crystal Palace will always be sweet, and I think the architecture is so smart the way it leads from Main Street to Adventureland. And watching my husband have a full conversation with Winnie the Pooh the first time I ever took him to Disney 8 years ago - that will always be a great memory!

[@angelicabutterfly1794]

Going to Disney World on February 6th! Thank you for these videos!

[@togethertoeat]

So helpful thank you! Would love to see a video on all the restaurants in the epcot boardwalk area, including resort dining there 😊 Can’t find a video on YT that covers them all off!

[@alilitchfield1324]

These videos are super helpful, especially to get a look at seating! I’m definitely a socially anxious girlie, so many of these places I’ve skipped because I didn’t know what to expect. I have quite the list now :) We just did the princess half marathon (2/24), and Tony’s Town Square did the trick!! The garlic bread for the table was super flavorful, the caesar salad was light and refreshing, and the pastas hit the spot.

[@salawinborn7246]

Speaking as a parent of an extremely picky eater MK is the worst of the 4 World parks as far as food choices. What we usually do is bring our own lunch for the picky eater or snack all day then eat an actual meal after we leave MK. Makes me sad cause I remember pre Covid MK and it was pretty great.

[@gromy4671]

In my opinion tortuga tavern has the most delicous hot dog in the park. There is never a line and the seating is great so I always grab a quick one and share it with my family after riding pirates. Also, their hot dogs are huge so very sharable (Also disney hot dogs are amazing) I highly reccomend that one

[@kristinasurratt168]

The sandwich at Gaston’s is wonderful.

[@jessiec8p]

I love Pinocchio is a go to for me. It's beautiful and everyone in my family loves the Margherita pizza.

[@srayj]

I haven’t been to WDW since 2014 so I really want to go, but this makes it so overwhelming. 😂

[@Haileysbeeuty]

Do all the parks, disney springs, and resort property places to eat!

[@jackieczuba1088]

We had a wonderful lunch at Be Our Guest a few years ago. I loved going there for onions soups, croque monsieurs, French dips, and the lovely desserts at the $$$ price point. It’s a total pass now that only the $$$$ dinner menu is available all day.

[@asianfoodnotes]

excellent list. We love Skipper Canteen.

[@wendybalivet6543]

We went to Disney last summer and took your tip of booking the Crystal Palace for breakfast just before the changeover to lunch. I'm not that into the character dining, but I was inordinately excited to see Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. We didn't do any other sit-down dining for the whole week, and this was the highlight on our last day in the parks. Highly recommended; thanks for the tip. :)

[@lindsaymclaughlin8613]

Omg! We have the same top 2! Shout out to my fave Skipper Canteen!

[@HappyPlaceStudios]

Ngllll I love Tony’s in MK! We go pretty much every time we go and it’s a reasonable price!

[@mgseggerman]

On my last trip I made sure to go to Skippers Canteen - with a sixty something boyfriend something of a picky eater - and we found out about Columbia Harbor House on an earlier trip. The Adventurers Club room in the former was charming and the food excellent. Upstairs in Columbia Harbor House has always been calm all three times we went. Lobster roll not much more than hot dogs elsewhere.

[@janellechapman5463]

We love the Plaza! Such a hidden gem!!

[@amykoks1992]

We loved cosmic ray! We have sat and watched Sonny Eclipse for over an hour! We also loved skipper canteen!

[@texascoinhunter]

First. We loved Be Our Guest

[@grumpyvet7990]

“It’s a beaut Clark.” 😂

[@coasterfanatic3]

Man I miss the chicken parm and tomato basil I had at Pinocchio’s back in 2017. I agree I was very disappointed with pecos bills back in 2022. Thanks to you we went to Liberty Tree in 2023 and we loved it!! Also went to Royal Table for Breakfast and maybe this says more about me but that Sirloin and eggs is the best breakfast meal I’ve ever had!! That’s based off taste cause yes it is expensive 😂.

[@RLucas3000]

I also give thumbs up. Breakfast is the way to go, early start to the day! It’s great if you can think of something fun to ask each Princess.

[@mikeymutual5489]

Rumor has it that AJ was able to sneak Garden Grill into the top 10...

[@yorkshirelassdiaries4841]

These ranking videos are so valuable to us 1st timers

[@ElmarGroenensteijn]

For me, Liberty Tree Tavern is #1. I get it that it's not unique food for Americans who are used to celebrate Thanksgiving. But I'm European and not used to that. So it was an amazing delicious experience to 'celebrate' Thanksgiving for the first time and I definitely recommend this one for everyone else who want to experience Thanksgiving.

[@LifewithAry12]

In 2021 I went to Disney World for the first time and went to Pinocchio’s house. It was really really crowded and the food was OK so I understand the rating you gave it.

[@richardmercer2337]

Hey, Casey's has Mudville on the scoreboard! "And there was no joy in Mudville that day...."

[@richardmercer2337]

Liberty Tree and Diamond Horseshoe are the same restaurant, in the sense that they share the same kitchen and the same menu. Only the theming is different; and they have two different entry doors! Diamond Horseshoe is closed when attendence is low.

[@kevinbokesch9614]

You for got to mention the carved Prime Rib at Crystal Palace!! Best reason to go to the Crystal Palace! I do wish they would've kept it without the characters because it was a $39 buffet ( did I mention Prime Rib?) and that was awesome, but now they added about $25 or 30 to the price because of characters! I will also say that for at least 20+ years, it had some of the worst food on property, but I will say that the food taste is really good!! One I go to each time I'm there ( at least 3 times a year!)

[@hannahrileyfindeis]

My kids have the fondest memories of Pinocchio Village House and think it’s the best!!! We go every time

[@erinrockssocks]

listening to this in the background and had to do a double take when cinderellas royal table was shortened to crt 💀

[@alexak9172]

We have a lunch reservation for Skipper Canteen for our visit next week! Also had planned to grab dinner at Pecos Bills but may need to change that now 🥴

Crystal Palace if available is pretty awesome! Who doesn’t love Pooh n Tigger?

I can't help it...but every single video the lady (s) twirling the item has a hair in the food. Nobody's fault, but my wife watches these for info and I'm watching them for the hair. Having said that, you gals are awesome

[@rebeccareznicek3478]

I've waited forever (like 30 minutes+) for our mobile order at Cosmic Ray's. I actually like Pinocchio's because the flatbread is pretty good, lots of seating and quick & easy

My hubby and I have been to Magic Kingdom twice, and both times we ate at the lower ranking places. First time was Cosmic Ray's, and second time was Pinocchio's. Both had a cute atmosphere, but the food was definitely meh. Hopefully third time's the charm and we can eat somewhere with better food!

I don't even like Disney, but the narrator of these videos is just so fun and upbeat; I just love listening when I'm having a tough day. Also, was anyone else just picturing that Debbie Downer skit from SNL this whole video? I was waiting for a reference to where that took place the whole time 😂

I’m going to try once again to get that cinnamon roll. The last two times we went I wasn’t remotely hungry when we were over on that side of the park.

[@justinschrank4806]

BOG will always be our number one restaurant on property. That includes besting popular places like Jiko, sanaa (very overrated), sci fi, brown derby, etc. There is something incredibly special about eating dinner in the beasts castle smack dab in the middle of MK. The food has always been fantastic and the service exceptional. The kids art dessert is amazing too. We have consistently had perfect meals at BOG each and every time. I am constantly frustrated by the hate it gets from people who have never even eaten there. It's the one place everyone loves to gang up on.

[@kellyoyen3421]

I LOVE YOU AJ. I'M SOOOOOOOO GLAD and SOOOOOOOO THANKFUL THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO GET FRENCH FRIES AT LIBERTY TREE TAVERN. You just saved my life? Has anyone tried ordering French fries at Liberty Tree Tavern? If you have please let me know if they were good

[@yorkshirelassdiaries4841]

WOULD YOU CONSIDER RANKING ALL OF THE EATERIES AT BLIZZARD BEACH, TYPHOON LAGOON AND BOARDWALK? these are the ones seldom ranked and its hard to make a decision from the other side of the world lol.

Enjoyed Nachos Real Grande at Pecos Bill on May 11, 2017!! We were then sworn in as honorary sheriffs, rode Space Mountain with our Cowboy hats on (Walt would've hated it) and then watched, leaked and danced to the FINAL performance of Wishes. EPIC single day trip to WDW to enjoy the very last performance of Wishes!

[@HopeelASMR]

I LOVE Cinderella Castle. If you can afford it I definitely recommend trying it at least once. It is super expensive though. So maybe not someplace you go often, and probably not with little kids either. The price point for kids is still really high and I can’t imagine paying that much for them to not enjoy the food or them just getting chicken strips.

[@e11k48]

Lunching Pad water also tastes dank lmao

[@pdemiere]

I’m very confused with the rankings on this.. Plaza Restaurant and even Casey’s Corner ahead of Tony’s Town Square? Colombia Harbour House at #2 ahead of Liberty Tree Tavern?! I would rank Liberty Tree Tavern #1 overall, Skipper Canteen #2, and Tony’s #3.

[@alkraus8818]

Be our Guest needs a Dinner Show!!! Can be animatronic, but no show, NOW WAY!

[@marissakaiser7834]

Disneyworld world's food choices are awful in Comparison to disneyland. Disneyland has so many areas where u can get healthier quick grab items such as Mango slices with tajin, pineapple spears & hummus veggie platters ect. For people that have diabetes and can't eat all the sugary snacks and don't want burgers and chicken fingers. Disneyland food choices for the win.

[@frankcarney4882]

We liked Pecos Bill , plenty of covered seating away from hot sun and noches aren't bad and reasonable

In October of 2021, my family absolutely LOVED Tony's - the food was great and they gave us free bread and the waitress was amazing. In December of 2022, the meal was awful and they got rid of the free bread and the place smelled very bad. I'm wary to try it again due to how bad it was the last time

[@laurenzimman4842]

As someone that doesn’t eat hotdogs Casey’s is at the bottom of my list.
