food IS a theme park
If you know anything about us, you know we like to eat. It’s why we’re called the Disney FOOD Blog, after all. Now, that doesn’t mean we’re just eating food AT Disney World.

Nope, we’re also eating food in Orlando, including the Four Seasons Resort Orlando. Now, we’ve been to a character breakfast at Ravello there before, but we recently got an opportunity to try a progressive dinner that let us try THREE restaurants at Four Seasons — and we’re going to tell you all about it.
If you’ve ever looked around Disney World and gone “there are so many great restaurants, but I don’t know where to start at each one,” then there’s a solution happening next month that you can’t miss out on!
Summer House on the Lake
For the past 20 years, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining event has been a great way to try multiple different higher-caliber restaurants for lower prices, while supporting a great cause at the same time. This year is no different, but if you’ve specifically wanted to try these Disney World restaurants, you’ll want to grab your tickets!
Disney World can be an escape for all of us — and sometimes that means doing a few extra things that make us feel a bit fancier. We’ve eaten at several restaurants around Disney World that give us a classy, upscale vibe, but none quite as exclusive as dining at the Four Seasons.
Ravello
We recently stopped by Ravello at the Four Seasons Orlando to see if it was the best way to start out our day at Disney World, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worthy of a stop a little bit out of the way on your next trip? Find out here!
Disney World is full of unique experiences you can’t find anywhere else — that’s what keeps us coming back time and time again (okay, that and the corn dog nuggets).
Four Seasons Orlando
But, some of the BEST experiences at Disney World can’t be found in the parks at all, but instead at the hotels! Whether you’re looking for a fireworks cruise or a fancy meal, chances are you can find it. And, if it’s Afternoon Tea you’re after, you’re going to want to visit the Four Seasons Orlando!
Welcome to Four Seasons Orlando at Golden Oak in the Walt Disney World Resort, where “luxury meets magic!” Twenty-six acres hold 423 rooms, five acres of recreation, a spa… oh, and a few restaurants 😉 .
The Disney Help Desk
Dining plays a major role in the guest experience at this resort! In fact, all dining locations are open to the public – and not just resort guests.
Disney World is home to some truly spectacular restaurants!
Great options (like Citricos at the Grand Floridian) aren’t far from the parks!
We consider ourselves to be Disney food experts at this point, but you don’t have to take our word for it alone — many of the restaurants on Disney World property are award-winning. Several places have been awarded recognition from the Michelin Guide in the past, and this year, we can add even more dining spots to that count!
Traditional character meet and greets and character dining in Disney World are BACK in Disney World!
Chef Mickey at Chef Mickey’s!
We’ve been checking out ALL of the meet and greet options in all four theme parks, but we can’t forget the character dining! So, which restaurants have brought back the hugs and high fives? This is a COMPLETE list of back-to-normal character dining in Disney World!
Disney World has some stellar character dining options. A meal where you can eat in the AC AND meet your favorite Disney characters? That sounds pretty tempting.
Chip and Dale
There are a good number of character meals to choose from when you’re in the Most Magical Place on Earth and we want to help make that choice easier. So, we’re RANKING every character meal in Disney World right now!
There are SO many pasta options in Disney World. (Hey, we’re not complaining! Bring on the noodle-y goodness!)
Spaghetti and meatballs with a fancy name
But what are our FAVORITE plates of pasta on Disney World property? Glad you asked! Let’s talk about them NOW! *WARNING* You’re gonna want pasta after this. In fact, after we finish up this post, we’re gonna go make a big pot of spaghetti while we daydream about some of the items on this list.
Here at DFB, we’re typically trying to help you save money as you’re booking your hotels, buying your tickets, or even just grabbing merchandise all around Disney World. Just your “regular” perfectly ordinary Disney World trip can be incredibly expensive.

But, every now and then it’s fun to dream, right?! So, today we’re looking at what could be the MOST EXPENSIVE trip to Disney World. We’re talking VIP tours, the hotel rooms of your dreams, and all kinds of extras that would blow any ordinary budget, but will not be an issue for our imaginary UNLIMITED Disney World trip budget. Grab your (imaginary) wallets and let’s get spending!!
