1. If you have been to Disney World lately (or ever really), what’s your favorite place to eat? We are thinking of going in the somewhat near future and I want some new ideas. We tend to eat at the same places (Chef Mickey’s, Crystal Palace, Coral Reef, etc.), but I think it’s time to mix it up a little. I know there are SO many great places we are missing! The boys won’t be into Princess dining or anything too formal, but anything else is fair game.
2. What foods do you dislike the most? I cannot stand mustard, olives and more recently shrimp. I used to love it, but in the past few years (probably since having my boys) I cannot stand it. The texture weirds me out now. So odd! What about you? What foods do you avoid?
Can’t wait to hear your answers!
1 – If you haven’t ever had dinner at ‘Ohana (in the Polynesian), you should definitely go there! Our kids loved it too – they have entertainment and fun things for the kids – but we all LOVED the food – amazing! I recommend going light on all meals the day of having dinner there 🙂
2 – I have never liked uncooked celery. I try it again every few years, but it’s not happening.
I haven’t been to Disney I years! I’ve tried to sucker my husband into going before we have kids, but he doesn’t get it since he’s never been. 🙁
Mustard, mayonaise. I don’t like onion, tomato, or pepper unless they’re chopped up in sauce of some kind. Pork… I watched a documentary about a pig farm several years back and it hasn’t passed my lips since. Oh and bananas… I love the flavor, but the texture makes me gag!
The Boathouse in Disney Springs! I’ve been hearing RAVE reviews since the rehab for that space and people are saying it’s better than the Yachtsman. For a character meal, the most underrated is Garden Grill and the character interaction there is awesome. But I’m bias because I know a few “friends of the characters” that work there! Say hi to Pluto!
We always go to Biergarten Restaurant in Epcot, my kids beg to every time, its a German buffet. and in Hollywood Studios, my kids love the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater its really cool, you sit in a vintage styled car booth and watch scifi mini movies on loop on a big movie screen. And we all loved the 50s Prime Time cafe, you can walkin and snag a well deserved boozy cocktail after the kids get super cranky from walking haha. but they have the cutest glowing drinks there for the kids too. Its such a fun place with the little tvs.
At Magic Kingdom, my big rush was to get back to Gaston’s Tavern and get some Lefou’s Brew its the most delightful caramel apple slush drink ever!!!!
I hate pickled beets.
1 – I think my favorite restaurant at Magic Kingdom is Be Our Guest. Be sure to “try the grey stuff” for dessert because it really is delicious! I agree with Alexa, ?Ohana (in the Polynesian) is very good as well. It does have a character breakfast and you get to take pictures with Stitch, among others. If you go to Hollywood Studios, I recommend trying 50’s Prime Time Cafe. “Momma” comes around to make sure you eat all of your dinner. We actually saw her use the airplane trick to get someone to eat and she made someone else stand in the corner for not finishing their food. Each waiter and waitress plays a different family character and our waiter was the sarcastic uncle. My Mom and Husband drank their drinks so fast, that the waiter brought them out 3 drinks apiece at one time and declared that they better drink it all. We had more drinks on our table than anything else. They also fuss if you put your elbows on the table. It was definitely an experience. We laughed so much during that meal! I will say that the food was just ok, it was the atmosphere that made this one enjoyable.
2 – I cannot stand Celery and fish. I can eat shrimp, but cannot eat any kind of fish or crab. Sweet Tea isn’t a food, but I’m from the South and it’s a staple here, but I cannot stand it. I even hate the smell of it!
We LOVED Raglan Road! Seriously, it was everyone’s favorite. My husband couldn’t get enough of the step dancers even. And the food was ah-MAZ-ing!
Oh you are talking my language now. LOL Let’s see what are some of my faves. I love Garden Grill in Epcot, Columbia Harbor House is a good quick service in the MK and Yak & Yeti in AK – sitdown is good but we normally do the counter nearby. The resorts also have some great restaurants if you aren’t going into a park that day. Our trip a couple weeks ago I had all these great reservations made and my boys rebelled and said they just wanted to eat as we went so I cancelled them all. 🙁 I need to take a girls trip so I can actually sit down and eat.
I don’t like Ketchup or Mayo at all. I’m also not a fan of hotdogs. They just smell disgusting by my boys like them so I deal with it and make them when I’m making me something I know they won’t like. 🙂
I love eating out ANYWHERE, seriously, knowing I’m eating out later makes me giggle (no cooking, no cleaning) but eating out at Disneyworld 3 times a day for a week straight is like my two year old seeing Mickey for the first time…..PURE MAGIC!! We’ve only been twice so we haven’t scratched the surface of dining options but my oldest son raved about Be Our Guest when he went with his girlfriend’s family a few years ago. We plan to go in about 3 years and just talking about it here makes me cringe with excitement.
I can’t stand bread puddings or custards and although I live on the south coast I WILL NOT eat oysters.
I’ve never been. My husband and I are trying to figure out if we want to do Disney world/land/cruise. We have 4 kids and planning for a 5th so we are thinking the cruise with grandparents will be the best simply for confinement. Haha.
I cannot stomach broccoli since my first pregnancy it was an aversion and it never went away. I hate meringue anything. I cannot stand ground chicken or turkey, the texture literally makes me sick. Anything with a lot of grease will also make me sick now since I lost my gallbladder.
Disney cruises have FREE childcare!!!!!!!!!
I think not liking broccoli would make me sad! What about ground beef? Like in tacos? Is that out too?
1-I haven’t been to WDW since a child, but when I’m bored at work I read trip reports on the DIS boards, and there are so many places that sound good! The ones already mentioned are ‘ohana and the sci-fi dine in.
2-I don’t like olives, pickles, raw onion, most mushrooms.
Pickles. I so do not do pickles. I refuse to believe they are related to cucumbers.
We love hotel hopping at Disney World. Every trip we hit up a different hotel to try a restaurant. We typically always stay at the Coronado (great price for FL resident and lots of walking/outdoors) but we’ve done 4 or 5 other hotel restaurants and loved all of them.
1. If you like Character dining, like Chef Mikey’s and Crystal Palace, I’m sure you would like Tusker House in Animal Kingdom. My family likes it so much that we go for breakfast every year. The breakfast buffet is one of the best we’ve had in Disney. 2. Last year, my husband and I went out to dinner at Bongos in Disney Springs, one night. It was not my first choice, but it turned out to be one of the best meals of the trip. We took the recommendations of our server, and the food was excellent. They even have live Latin music several nights each week. It’s a really fun environment. My kids will be 4 and 6 when we go back in October, and I will make a point to take them there!
We LOVED the yak and yeti sit down restaurant. the tuna nachos are quite possibly the best invention EVER.
and as far as food I loathe? I can’t stand celery.
We always go back to the Sci-Fi Drive in you sit in convertibles and watch old black and white drive-in movie clips. Food is shakes, fries, sandwiches but good. Also Cinderella’s Castle.
I hate cooked spinach.
Check out the DIsney Food Blog – this is what was listed today & I can’t wait to try it: http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2016/05/17/first-look-and-review-amorettes-patisserie-in-disney-springs/
I cannot cook ground anything but I can stomach ground beef much much better than the chicken and turkey. Not to be to graphic but it looks like body insides. Ew.
Living in SoCal we do Disneyland, not Disney World, so no help there. Sorry.
Cannot stand tuna, cilantro, mushrooms and walnuts. All are unnecessary evils.
1. We went to Disney World for the very first time earlier this year. Count me in as another that loves the Garden Grill. We also enjoyed eating at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant. I was the only one that like Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
2.Peanut Butter. I live in a house full of peanut butter lovers!
We went for the first time as a family last October….I loved Be Our Guest at Magic Kingdom, my husband the Sci Fi drive in one at Hollywood Studios, Tusker House character meal at Animal Kingdom and Garden Grill character meal at Epcot.
We are expecting number #5 in 3 months but hoping to go again next spring!
