Can’t Miss Disneyworld Restaurants (And the ones we will skip next trip)

We enjoyed our fifth trip to WDW this past summer and although that might not seem like many to those who live in the southeast, for a Minnesotan it is more unusual. We love Disney vacations! We always stay on-site (well one time there was a side trip to Universal/Hardrock Hotel). And use the Disney Dining Plan!

It is perfect because we don’t have to worry about the bill no matter which restaurant we eat at! If the kids want a steak at the Coral Reef, we don’t have to be concerned about living on P&J for the rest of the trip.
At Disney World there are lots of great places to eat but only a few make the "must go" list when it comes to ride and event fun over restaurant time. Here are the ones that make the cut and a few that didn't measure up.

Our 3 Can’t Miss Disneyworld Restaurants are:

1. Coral Reef/Epcot (Those steaks are awesome!)
2. The Garden Grill/Epcot (Love that fried fresh catfish!)
3. 50’s Prime Time Café/Hollywood Studios (Fun servers and great food but eat all your food or it could be fed to you!)
   

Also worth noting:

• Tusker House/Animal Kingdom (Wonderful Breakfast Buffet…When we have time to eat breakfast!)
• Hoop de doo Revue/Fort Wilderness Campground (Great food and awesome show!)
• Aloha Dinner Show/Polynesian Resort (Fire dancers are astounding and the pineapple bread was a treat!)

Skipping next trip:

1. Chef Mickey’s/Contemporary Resort (Fun for kids, but food as good as at other restaurants.)
   
2. Mama Melrose’s/Hollywood Studios (Service and food just okay...worth going if you get Fantasmic Priority seats.)
   
3. Le Cellier/Epcot (I know this is on many others, 'don’t miss' lists but we just weren’t impressed…The moose mousse was cute though!)
