food IS a theme park
When we’re at Disney Springs, we love stopping by The Edison. You can grab brunch, lunch, or dinner with a wide variety of yummy cocktails.
Strawberry Fields Forever at The Edison
In August, The Edison is bringing back their annual Bartender’s Bash, where you can watch Disney World bartenders go head-to-head in a competition to make the best drink!
From pricey menus to deal-breaking restrictions, these are the restaurants Disney World fans are skipping in 2027!
Desserts at Geo 82
There are literally HUNDREDS of restaurants to choose from around Disney World. Whether you’re looking for a chance to dine with some of your favorite characters or enjoy a high-end meal, there’s an option for just about any taste! But, of course, there isn’t nearly enough time to check them all out in one vacation, so not every spot can make the cut on the itinerary. These are the five Disney World restaurants fans aren’t booking in 2027!
We’ve got a major heads-up for anyone planning to make their Disney World dining reservations tomorrow!
Tramonto Cocktail at Topolino’s Terrace
Whether it’s a major holiday or a long weekend, most holidays tend to bring some serious CROWDS to Disney World! But don’t forget, it’s not just during the trip itself that the increased traffic can impact you — upcoming holidays can also make it more difficult to book reservations while you’re still in the planning stages of your vacation!
If you’re planning a Disney World trip, then you need to have Official Walt Disney World Hotels on your radar. These are the hotel chains you know and love, notably Marriott and Hilton hotels, within walking distance of Disney Springs, that offer some amazing Disney perks like complimentary transportation and early theme park entry.
Bailey’s Chocolate Decadence
We checked out the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace right next to Disney Springs, and after we got settled in our room, you know what comes next. We had to try all of the food! And spoiler alert – we might stay here again just to eat!
At our recent visit to LEGOLAND Florida, we decided to check out the Shipwreck Restaurant at the Pirate Island Hotel!
Shipwreck Restaurant
This restaurant offers breakfast and dinner options through a prix-fixe 3-course meal, an all-you-can-eat menu with salad, your choice of one of three skillet options, and dessert! Soft drinks are also included in the meal. So, what did we think? We’re bringing you our FULL review of the Shipwreck Restaurant dinner!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
The BOATHOUSE
We recently stopped by The BOATHOUSE at Disney Springs to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
There are convenient Disney restaurants. There are famous Disney restaurants. There are Disney restaurants that get talked about constantly because they are inside a park, beside a monorail, or attached to a character meal where someone in your group can hug Mickey while you try to butter a roll.
Jiko’s open kitchen
Jiko is not that. Jiko is tucked away at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Jambo House, which means you usually have to choose it on purpose. You are not wandering out of a ride queue and accidentally landing at Jiko. You are not killing time before fireworks and finding yourself at the host stand. You are making a plan, getting yourself to one of Disney World’s most beautiful resorts, and walking into a restaurant that knows exactly what it is. And what it is, my friends, is special.
When it comes to dining at Epic Universe, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting with Mario? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Chengdu Dream
We recently stopped by The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant at Celestial Park in Epic Universe to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to Epic Universe? Find out here!
