food IS a theme park
Have you heard the big Disney World dining news? A NEW restaurant will be coming to EPCOT soon!
Japan Pavilion
Okay, we’re not going to lie: we are SO excited (okay, so NEW Disney food and restaurants always make us happy). The new restaurant will be called Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya and will be opening this summer in the Japan Pavilion. But this restaurant will be unlike any other restaurant in Disney World! How thrilling!
Did you know that some of the BEST food in Disney World isn’t even inside the theme parks? The parks have some great restaurants, of course, but there are plenty of places to dine when you don’t have a ticket for the day. Each of the Disney Resorts has at least one restaurant, but the REAL cream of the crop can be found at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is home to literally dozens of dining locations, and they’ve got cuisine from all over the world. But if you’re coming to Florida and you want some traditional American eats with a taste from the coast, there’s one place that comes to mind.
Have you decided to take a trip to Walt Disney World? Congratulations! The excitement starts the minute that you start planning your vacation.
Welcome to Disney World!
But where do you begin? Whether this is a first trip to Disney World or a repeat visit, it takes patience to research flights, transportation, hotels, dining, tickets, and more. We know that you have more questions than answers right now. You’re probably asking yourself all of these questions: Should I fly or drive to Orlando? Which Disney resort fits my touring plans? How does Disney transportation work? Where should we have a character meal? Which admission tickets do we need?
When it comes to finding delicious food at Disney World, the theme parks aren’t the only places where you can find cuisine for the whole family.
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
The Disney World resorts are home to some fan-favorite restaurants, and not only offer impressive spreads of cuisine, but are also specially-themed — just like in the parks! A common question is whether or not you can visit a Disney World resort restaurant without staying there, and the answer is YES!
It’s a beautiful day in Hollywood Studios, where you and your family have already stepped into your Hollywood dreams of surviving the Twilight Zone, rockin’ out with Aerosmith and some sweet backstage passes, not to mention blasting into a galaxy far, far away.
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
So, now it’s time for a meal, and you want your dining experience to match to fun and excitement of the rest of your Hollywood Studios day.
Don’t let Disney World fool you — there are plenty of places to dine FANCY.
California Grill
Disney has a host of “signature” restaurants that definitely feel like a step above the regular table service meal. These restaurants serve some pretty pricey eats, but they’re often known for having some of the most spectacular food across Disney World. So is it worth it to plan a signature meal? Recently, we stopped by one of the most popular spots to see if it lives up to the hype!
