Table Service Restaurants at Walt Disney World Theme Parks, Ranked in Order

Theme Park Dining at Walt Disney World
OVERVIEW

This site’s recommended dining venues are in the basic itinerary and are listed at the bottom of this page.

They were selected based on how well-loved they are by families, kid-pleasing menus, how effectively they achieve their show intent, value for money, and convenience.

If you cannot follow these recommendations, use one of two tools.

The thumbnail (click to open; when open, click again once or twice to enlarge) ranks the table service meals at the theme parks on the basis of both kid appeal and adult appeal. Use this to balance kid vs. adult desires.

Or, for options ranked in order, see the list that comes next. These restaurants are ranked based on comparison of guest reviews from a number of printed and online sources. The sources do not generally agree, but they often do agree on a relative order—e.g. The Plaza at the Magic Kingdom is almost always rated lower than the Liberty Tree Tavern is. Any remaining lack of agreement is resolved based on my own family’s experience.

Table Service Restaurants at Walt Disney World Resorts, Ranked in Order

Dining at the Walt Disney World Resorts

OVERVIEW

This site’s recommended dining venues are in the basic itinerary and are listed at the bottom of this page.

They were selected based on how well-loved they are by families, kid-pleasing menus, how effectively they achieve their show intent, value for money, and convenience.

If you cannot follow these recommendations, use one of two tools.

First, the thumbnail (click to open; when open, click again once or twice to enlarge) ranks all the table service meals at the Deluxe resorts from the perspectives of both kid appeal and adult appeal. This lets you balance these two issues in picking your restaurants.

Or, second, see the list that comes next. This list ranks the same restaurants in order based on comparison of guest reviews from a number of printed and online sources. The sources do not generally agree, but they often do agree on a relative order—e.g. The Flying Fish at the Boardwalk is almost always rated lower than Yachtsman Steakhouse. Any remaining disagreement is resolved based on my family’s experiences.
