Since there is so much variety, it is a good idea to do some homework before you go. If I were you I would start with a good book. You can find a few good ones by clicking here. You can also visit the Walt Disney World website at www.disneyworld.com for some great information. You can get some great information from the Disney “cast” members at your hotel. Finally, you can always check out pictures and menus of restaurants before finalizing your booking arrangements. The Disney World website is a good source for restaurants and menu information.

Travel agents specializing in Disney trips and packages can give you excellent tips, especially when bringing children along. While almost all of the Disney World restaurants are children friendly, there are Character Dining Locations, or special spots where your favorite Disney character will be appearing that you might want to bring your children to see. Not all of the restaurants offer Advance Reservations. The restaurants that do, will ask you to check in at least 10 minutes before your seating time. Plan well ahead when you are going to WDW, as dining reservations may be taken as much as 180 days in advance. Some reservations at the Walt Disney World restaurants must be guaranteed by a credit card.

Special dinners and dining events are also held regularly. Examples of these are: Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian, Christmas, Easter, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, Mickey’s Backyard BBQ, Mother’s Day, My Disney Girl’s Perfectly Princess Tea Party, New Years Eve, Spirit of Aloha (Polynesian Luau) Dinner Show, Thanksgiving, and Valentine’s Day. In November, Epcot holds it’s annual International Food and Wine Festival which features special selections throughout the park.

Whatever type of cuisine your favor, Walt Disney World’s myriad of restaurants will surely have something that will please your palette. The list of restaurants crosses all boarders, covering foods from Hot Dogs and Burgers to Moroccan and Japanese. With so many different restaurants to choose from at Disney World, finding the one you like may be slightly challenging, but it’ll be worth the effort!

However you choose to enjoy your dining at Disney World, remember, you are getting more than just a meal, and you are getting the Disney World Dining Experience. And although it may cost you a little more, almost every time you will find it to be worth the price. So, be adventurous, and don’t be afraid to try something that may seem foreign…you might just be surprised at how much you like it!
