The 4 Meals Everyone Should Eat in Disney World

[@alyssaiovinelli8471]

When I want to Trattoria Al Forno, my little sister had to go to the bathroom with my mom, so I tagged along with them. When we came out of the bathroom we had EXACTLY one of those “right place, right time magical moments” that AJ always talks about! When we walked out, we literally bumped right into Flynn rider as he was just about to walk into the restaurant area. My lil sis is OBSESSED with Flynn and that’s the whole reason we ate there!!! He ended up holding her hand all the way from the bathroom to our table at the far end of the restaurant! EASILY the most magical moment we have ever had at Disney World, and my sister was so happy!!!!!

[@kriscynical]

That... is adorably pure. I was online friends with the main Aladdin in Epcot's Morocco back in the early 2000s, and he LOVED doing things like that with guests! He'd often run out to the garden planters (where Spice Road is now) calling out for Abu and asking both adults and children if they had seen him.

Noah David respect and morality are debatable since they’re a social construct for dominance and control ...now Amanda wasn’t being hurtful or throwing hate towards no one, she even covered the word shit with asterisks to not hurt sensitive people, but then again people always find a way to feel or project some kind of complex to one another to feel better of their own existence.

[@colleenosullivan857]

Our most memorable meal was at le chefs in France. The food was great and it was nicer dining and kid friendly. The waiter treated the kids like they were grown ups. They felt so special

[@rnguyen2516]

I agree! I always wonder why it doesn’t get a lot of attention. We tried it the first time we ever used the dining plan. It was included in a package many years ago and was a great deal. It was our favorite restaurant. The food was so delicious and we just felt so special there. The kids (my nephews and nieces) were treated very well. In my mind, it easily beats Cinderella’s Royal Table and Be Our Guest.

[@cyndiebirkner704]

We went to Garden Grill in Nov 2019 based on you guys' recommendation and we loved it! Thanks AJ and DFB!

[@Ogawa47]

Garden Grill is one of my favorite restaurants! I love Living With the Land and the greenhouses so getting to see the ride, Mickey and friends, *and* enjoy all-you-can-eat food that's pretty dang tasty just hits all the right spots.

Garden Grill breakfast is one of our family favorites! Not only is a good food if there's a lot of variety with something for everybody, even the picky eaters

[@kriscynical]

My family has staple meals that we always MUST have every year during our annual trip: • California Grill with Ryan, the server we've known for _yeeeears_ • Teppan Edo for my mom's birthday dinner • Boma • Via Napoli for the only pizza my mom's food sensitivities can handle • Yachtsman Steakhouse with Beverly or Thomas • and Morimoto Asia is the newest addition

Just got back tonight from 8 days at the poly.... had breakfast at ohana for a party of 5... $190. Same food (except for pineapple bread) at the quick service for 50.

[@janwatkins2210]

AJ the Garden Grill was really good but if you have people who get severe motion sickness this is not a great place to eat. My family has 3 people that have this problem and it was not a good experience. Even though it does move slow they were not able to focus on anything because it moved.

[@RaptorsCantSwim]

For my birthday this year, I'm gonna cook myself my favourite Disney foods at home, since I can't go to Disney World for my birthday. But I'm gonna make myself a big cinnamon roll and a Nutella waffle sandwich for breakfast. I will probably recreate some shrimp and pineapple skewers like you get at Ohana and then some loaded bbq tots for dinner. If I can't go to Disney, at least my chefs education can come in handy ;)

We were there yesterday (Oct 4) and ate at Citricos in The Grand Floridian. Such a wonderful experience and delicious food. Will def go back. We spoke with the manager about Victoria and Alberts. He said the per person price was 235 with the 150 wine pairing and Chef's Table is now 250. A bit steep for my pockets, but still on our bucket list! Thanks A.J. Big Hugs

I took my Cinderella Castle obsessed son to the Cinderella Royal Table for his 9th birthday. It was a cherished childhood memory for him. It felt truly magical! What a gorgeous castle!

[@JohanMsWorld]

I loved the character meals and the characters are superfriendly, even with adults. I had everyone on the list but Ohana and here is a rundown of them: -Cinderallas Royal Table: Great show and great experience even if I was jetlagged and supertired those princesses make you feel like a king or queen. If you have little ones and can pair it with the bodaboo boutique experience youre princess lovers would love it! I saw many dressed up kidos and the princesses seamed to love it as much as the kidos and theyre family. -Akershus: Is in the Norwegian pavilion and has a great selection of Scandinavian food but has the same famous five group of princesses that CRT had so its a great option if you arent able to get that experience. It is also next to where Anna and Elsa has theyre meet and great so if youre little ones love Frozen its a must. There is also a number of meet and great options with princesses in the different lands in the World Showcase so even if youre kidos are not explorers they might want to meet those princesses. -Tusker house: The best character meal in Animal Kingdom and I loved that it was a buffé. You can meet the fab five fur characters like in a somewhat calm and relaxed atmosphere cause the rooms are fairly small and not lot of people at once. -Notebook diner: A great way to meet the only villain at the park together with Snow White and two of the dwarves whom in itself make they experience worth it. Like Al forno its not in a park so its great for an off park day. -Al Forno farewell dinner: Was great and it was great fun to meat the princes among with theyre princesses and its a thing I wish more character meals could do. I had breakfast on my last day and its easy to walk down to EPCOT and World Showcase afterwards so thats highly recommended even if its hard to get to. I loved the character meals and a tip is that you can have a little candy gift to give to the characters with you. They love it and its a great conversation starter. Johan.

[@kathywillmott1420]

We've eaten at most of the table service restaurants in Disney. Cinderella's Table had food that was "okay" and service felt rushed, but the granddaughters were in awe of the castle and meeting Cinderella. Was not impressed by Akershus but, again, princesses were the highlight of this meal. Have never been disappointed by O'Hana. Dinner at Be Our Guest in the library was fantastic, and meeting Beast was a highlight. Rainforest Cafe has an extensive menu but food, to me at least, is really good. Chef Mickey's is standard buffet fare but the parmesan mashed potatoes are to die for! Again, having the chance to meet Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy were high points.

[@allanwebb1932]

[@tashamurphy5378]

Absolutely love ohana for breakfast! We went recently and Pluto is now a photo op either before or after your meal not sure if it was just that day but he’s not coming over to tables anymore like Mickey, lilo and stitch! One of the best restaurants for breakfast and dinner!! highly recommend 👏🏼

[@sarahe5400]

Snacking around the world is my favorite! We’ve done that twice during Flower & Garden. The second time, I watched DFB’s videos & used their lists to create a plan & reduce our stress. So much better to walk in with a plan!

[@alishaanttila3528]

My mom and I went to Takumi-Tei for the first time a few weeks ago and it was by far the best dining I have ever experienced. The service was phenomenal and the food was absolutely amazing. Worth every single penny. We don't get to go to Disney very often but it has become our new tradition to eat there sometime during each visit

Garden Grill is excellent. It is our "must do" every time we go.

[@kriscynical]

I was the first in my family to graduate from college, which my dad was _over the _*_moon_* about because he wanted just ONE of his kids to finish college and get a degree. Being the baby, I was his last hope, so to say. We went to WDW right after I graduated, and to celebrate my parents took me to Victoria & Albert's. It's _definitely_ a meal for extra special occasions and milestones, and it's an experience I will NEVER forget! I still have my personalized menu that says _"Congratulations on your college graduation!"_ at the top as well as the long stem rose in its box (perfectly dried because I hung it upsidedown in our room when we got back to preserve it).♥️

[@selenalemiec2549]

I've done all of those except the signature restaurant. I know Disney is expensive, but I have a hard time justifying those prices for food. My family prefers to grab something quick at a kiosk and have more time for rides. Maybe someday, though!

[@michelle1]

I've been willing to use two dining credits for the Spirit of Aloha show and the Hoop De Doo Review (especially when I realized my two kids were not going to eat all their meals, so I wanted to make use of all the credits), but I admit I'm with you. The signature dining is really too expensive for a family and most kids won't enjoy the food as much. (Older kids might, but I'm not sure I'm willing to risk the funds, since you are correct, it could be another day in the parks!)

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

Different people have different priorities, especially when you have kids.

[@maria7308]

Hi AJ, We watch your videos as soon as they pop up; I LOVE THEM!!! I go to Disney World every 6 or 8 months. So I pretty much match up my picks with yours. I have 7 kids, ages 21-34, and a fiance. Different likes and allergies. We never tried Garden Grill until you mentioned it..and now we LOVE it!! Going next week for the Halloween party and Food and Wine and doing Garden Grill again! We always do 1 signature restaurant as well, I will try the brunch thing...sounds good. One trick we do use is, if we don't use all of our snack credits, then we buy the package snacks to take home and put in our lunches to bring some Disney to work with us. A fun reminder of our trip. Thanks for your videos! We Love them. See YOU real soon, AJ!! Your pal, Maria😃

[@fob4life85721]

Ohana is the BEST character meal. I may be biased because Lilo & Stitch is my favorite Disney movie, but my experience was much more than that. I had never been to Disney before and I didn’t know much about a lot of stuff, so my family was able to secretly book a breakfast there without me realizing it was a character breakfast. I lost my mind when I eventually saw Lilo & Stitch walking around. Me, a grown 20 year old woman, ended up crying cause I was genuinely surprised and overwhelmed. The stitch character hung out with us for five minutes, and even comforted me and wiped my pathetic tears haha. It was the most wholesome Disney experience possible. Not to mention, the food is great. :)

[@deanariggs5854]

Made my day when I saw the Yorkshire Pudding!

[@TheGoofy1932]

Character Meals are my jam. Garden Grill is a MUST, MUST do for me. We usually try to do it for breakfast and lunch or dinner when we go to the parks. Great food and amazing characters. Tusker House is another must do. Another one with great food and character interaction. Storybook dining is amazing. We just went about a month ago, and OMG the actor who played the Evil Queen was incredible. Good food as well. Skip Cinderella's Royal Table and do Askerhaus for breakfast. Much better character interaction in our many experiences and better food.

It’s a great place to eat during breakfast or dinner. My family had a hard time eating all six together one time. I wasn’t feeling good. My server just bought me a small salad and soup. They will make you what you want if your not feeling good. I started to feel better half way through the meal. I highly recommend this place.

Several years ago my sister took me and our other sister to Disney World as a Christmas gift...neither of us had ever been. We were not on a meal plan and were not planning ahead for meals, but decided the evening of the 23rd to see if an upscale restaurant might possibly have an open reservation for Christmas Eve. We did not have high hopes, nor did the young man at Guest Relations...the amazement on his face to find a table available at Le Celliere was priceless, he even called over a co-worker to show it to them.

I’m so early! AJ please do honeymoon/date night restaurants in WDW!

[@xplicitmike]

California Grill, Cinderella's Royal Table, Be Our Guest, Jiko's, Topolino's Terrace, Jaleo, Takumi-Tei, Flying Fish (and nearby AbracadaBar), Citricos, Crystal Palace, Sanaa, Choza de Margarita, Storybook Dining, Wine Bar George. Any of the above will make a great date night depending on style, budget and tastes. But for something truly special, like Anniversary Night, or a showstopper for your Honeymoon, you have to do Victoria & Albert's!

[@xplicitmike]

@ it's the only AAA 5 Diamond restaurant in Florida. If Micheline went to FL, it'd easily have a star or two or three. It's a legit fine dining experience and could rival anything found in NYC or France, with rare ingredients flown in from all over the world. I've never been, but if I were going DW to celebrate an anniversary or very special occasion, that's where I'd take my girl.

[@margaretd3710]

@ Only if you're named Mickey and your date is named Goofy! lol. It's a bit too upscale for a character meal.

[@esrobinc]

JenniferClaire we live very close to Disney world and go all the time. Some are favorite things are strolling through Magic Kingdom and look out for the band and the barber shop quartet on Main Street! Take time to see all of the street entertainment in Epcot and browse through all of the shops around the world. They have things in those shops that are not found anywhere else And that goes to animal kingdom also. Now you can see all those film shows and the charecters that other people don’t want to sit through... and go to a spa for as much is you can spend and then relax in the waiting room or lounge before or after your treatment. And you can also take advantage of all the things like seminars now at Epcot FW . And now I want to go back by myself😂

Garden Grill yes. Homecomin’ brunch, yes. The one that I think gets overlooked is Ravello. One of the best character meals I’ve ever done. Yes it’s a pain to get over to the four seasons. But, the character interactions are probably the best of character meal you can get and there is a photo pass photographer. Plus if’s easy to book. Highly recommended.

We were just in Disney at the end of September and did Cape May Cafe for breakfast and it was delicious . Definitely a lot less chaotic than Crystal Palace which we did the day before. The create your own omelette station was great. I wanted to do Trattoria al Forna just so my daughter could see Flynn and Rapunzel but we didn’t get to. However we walked a wrong way in Epcot and ended up catching them coming out to do a meet and greet. Both Flynn and Rapunzel. Unheard of. It was the best right place at the right time moment ever. We waited 10 minutes to see them

[@gondorbunny]

I have heard several Disney cast members mention that on their time off, they like to eat at Cape May because of the seafood buffet. They said just the all-you-can-eat crab legs makes it worth the price, even if you don't eat anything else on the buffet!

At Le Cellier, the restaurant is divided into the Canadian provinces. Be sure to ask them which province you're sitting in!

The chef actually came by with every course to explain each dish. I would highly recommend. But do be prepared to be there for a couple of hours if not more. Also dress code is proper attire so men will need a dinner jacket, dress pants or slacks, and shoes.

I ate at Takumi Tei last month because my sister came down and had planned out her birthday week extensively from watching your videos and additional research. It was very nice, low key and yummy. She got ordered the tasting menu and I got an entree and dessert. It was very delicious, the atmosphere was great and service divine.

[@Ninjo111]

If your on a budget then you can always opt to go off-property and get some food elsewhere. My Family of 8 self-cater in a villa so that option leaves us the ability to have a hire-car and cook at the villa or what we would usually do is go and find a nice place to eat without it breaking the bank.. Disney caters for millions of tourists so theres always something for everyone but if its not your style then you can always look into other options.. One such option would be the Outlets on Vinewood Rd where they have a good selection of Asian and American cuisine with a Starbucks and a Subway or if thats not your style then theres always plenty of options of International Drive or the 192 and the trip down there is sometimes a nice way to explore...

Brunch at California Grill is pricey, but oh so yummy. We got to go back and watch the fireworks, too. 😊 I’d love to try Homecomin’.

Tokyo Dining and Wine Bar George never got enough love.

My family and I went to storybook a little while ago, and it wasn’t very good. The appetizers and desserts were pretty good, but our food wasn’t good. The steaks were undercooked and cold, and the chicken just didn’t taste very good. Meeting the evil queen was very fun though! When we met her, Snow White was coming out to do her rounds at the tables, and the evil queen gave her this glare that was the funniest thing.

My wife and I had a late breakfast/almost brunch at Ohana on our 33rd wedding anniversary. My wife is vegan which we originally neglected to tell them, but when they find out, we just couldn't believe how accommodating they were. We're old (obviously) and our appetites aren't what they used to be, so there was more food on the table than we could have eaten in three days. Everyone was wonderful, the characters spent a lot of time with us, the food was AMAZING, and we couldn't have had a better celebration. We are attempting to try to eat someplace different each time we go, but the temptation is always to go back and have that experience all over again. We can't recommend it highly enough.

[@bugsaysmeep]

We booked Tusker House on our honeymoon, not realizing it was a character meal, it was one of our favorite memories from that trip and the food was delicious!

[@ninjamaster3453]

Disney is an excellent place for recreational eating.

[@gondorbunny]

Agreed! My main goal when I go to WDW is to try all of the new foods that I can. For me, rides and characters are secondary. With 300+ restaurants, there's just so much to try that you HAVE to keep coming back!

[@afa13829]

Tusker house, Ohana, and Garden Grill are in my top restaurants I love in Disney.

[@8polyglot]

Ate at what I assume is now Ragland Road back when it was a fish and chips place in “Downtown Disney”. Recognize the statue of the man out front on the bench.

[@caeliflowers3474]

I got to go to the adventure breakfast with rapunzel and flynn for my birthday this year and it was amazing!! not only are the princesses and princes super amazing to meet (tangled is my favorite) the staff was spectacular and the food was too!! 100% gonna go back and do it again!!

[@michaelchristiangroves9174]

Hey AJ. We took your advice and did Morimoto for lunch in July 2019. They said the wagyu beef would still be two dinning credits. We explained to them that we were there for dinner July 2018 and the wagyu dinner was two credits, but our understanding was that for lunch it was one. They said they had a recent change and it would be FOUR credits for dinner. Ouch! My wife and daughter had the Peking duck for two and it was four credits at lunch: two each person. We still love Morimoto and plan to dine there again (lunch of course).

[@billybelcaro9585]

Guests go out of their way to try the popular wagyu and duck. Good to know those items are always more than 1 TS credit, and up to 4 credits.

[@michaelchristiangroves9174]

billy belcaro yea it shocked us, but honestly well worth it. We still talk about the experience months later. Disney is our favorite destination and not just for the theme parks but equally so for fine dining.

[@canyouwhenyourdrunk]

I can agree with that as we went 3 weeks ago for lunch and thr wagyu beef was not on the menu. When I asked the server she said she could speak to the kitchen but it would 4 dining credits! Crazy!

[@gondorbunny]

@@canyouwhenyourdrunk Not so crazy when you realize that the Wagyu beef is $75 per OUNCE with a 3-oz minimum suggested. I would gladly use dining credits for such an exclusive treat!

[@jankehoe6078]

I would also recommend Crystal Palace for a Character Meal as they have Winnie the Pooh , Rabbit, Tigger and Piglet in a buffet setting!

[@DeniseSprung]

Morimoto Asia!!!! We have done it twice during our 10 day trip! My husband orders the duck for two just for himself 😂

[@kristinkibler7371]

Your videos are great, and you may have previously covered this... but can you do a video on how to plan a disney vacation? The options for meals and activities and rides and sights are overwhelming, and everytime I try to start planning, I feel lost! Maybe cover how you set up your family's itinerary or how you would suggest a first time visitor do it? Thanks for all the great content and tips!

[@esrobinc]

Kristin Kibler Best advice that I ever got and followed up on was book your first Disney with a Disney travel co. Be sure and ask them if they have their EARS. They will find the best hotel park tickets and save you so much headache. They can plan everything for you and it won’t be more $.They can also make reservations for your dining and magical express etc. etc.

[@Kacholfus39]

we had: Le Cellier, breakfast at Tusker (loves Ohana’s), because of this video want to try California Grill (loves Yatch Club)

[@melissasturgeon2042]

Could you possibly do a video on just the brunch options?

[@laurab444]

Going to California Grill for the first time on my next trip and I cannot wait!! I went to the grand floridian cafe for dinner on my last trip and i can confirm that it is delicious.

[@soccertl]

I never knew they had brunch at Disney, so thanks for that. The Homecoming restaurant sounds yummy. I will have to try that next time I go.

[@karenwhitman3470]

Takumi-Tei amazing food, we did the Omakase 7 course meal. Love it great experience it was good to know the prices.

[@juliewaters9453]

Aj wondering what cheese soup you would recommend more. I love cheese/beer cheese soup...the one at board walk or les celier at Canada pavillion?. Ps. I absolutely love your videos and watch several a day. Love your unbiased reviews. Congrats on 10 yrs🏰🎊 keep them coming😉

[@RedwoodTheElf]

I once had a wonderful vanilla chicken meal at the Blue Bayou in Disneyland. However, the next time I went to Disneyland, the vanilla chicken wasn't on the menu. Apparently that was a seasonal item or a chef specialty.

[@sammyandandisfamilyfuntime833]

I'm going this year! I'm so excited I'm binge watching all if AJ's vids! Xoxoxo

[@aaronsdailydis6893]

I ageee on all of them except garden grill because we just ate there about 2 weeks ago and the menu had changed and was not as good as it used to be.

[@sueberger1434]

I finally was able to eat at Le Cellier and got the cheddar cheese soup and filet mignon. I’m very sensitive to pepper and did not enjoy the soup. The filet was also peppered and had fennel as well. Wish I would have known as it was hard to enjoy these two dishes due to the seasoning ☹️ I really appreciate your commentary though and listen to all of your KZbin videos. Thanks for all of your great work!

[@DFBGuide]

Thank you for sharing. We'll mention that in the future.

Will you be making a video about the plant-based food that was added? I feel like Disney adding these options to many of the restaurants is a huge deal and I haven’t seen much coverage of it on this channel.

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

I think she's said before that she doesn't like to do those sort of videos because she isn't an expert and doesn't want to give advise on something that is so important.

[@Gee-xb7rt]

you can get all that information contacting them in advance, also ask any park employee and they will put you in contact with someone that can help. best bet is consulting social media, other people are always glad to share their experiences.

[@vernettag8500]

Bucket list wish is Victoria and Alberts.

[@nitinjain8837]

Does it take dining credits?

[@vernettag8500]

Nitin Jain - No - the price (at the lowest) would be around $200 per couple. There are various add on items, wine pairing- add proteins etc. If you really go all out the price for dinner for 2 can go as high as $700 +

[@sheillaallen2538]

It’s one of THE best meals we’ve ever had anywhere. We went in 2017 and still talk about it to this day. It’s incredible and we’d definitely do it again.

As far as I remember, most of the time a lot of little girls who go to any of the Princess Meals usually wear Princess Dresses including the following 5. 1: Rapunzel Dress 2: Cinderella Dress 3: Princess Aurora Dress 4: Snow White Dress 5: Jasmine Dress

Heck I did the Garden Grill 20 years ago when I was a kid!

[@chanelcash6907]

I've never done a sit down restaurant in Disney as many times as I've gone there because it's already so expensive (hotel/park tickets) but my next trip I'm going to yak & yeti thanks to you ! Can't wait
