Wanted to ask for help identifying in park Advance Dining restaurants that have outside seating for better COVID avoidance by parks:
AK
Tiffins
Epcot
Spiceroads in Morroco
La Chefs de France?
Via Napoles Italy
Rose & Crown UK
HWS
Brown Derby Lounge

Could not recall any ADRs in MK with outside seating. Any thoughts?

Also think this might be a good relevant topic for Disney Dining Show.
 
Tony's is the only ADR at MK with outdoor seating. The Plaza has an outdoor section, but they are not sitting anyone there. FWIW, Tony's has a poor reputation, but we had a decent meat there a couple weeks ago.

I don't believe Via Napoli has resumed using its outdoor seating at Epcot. I love Spice Road Table, but another Epcot option is La Hacienda de San Angel, which lets you sit on the waterfront patio, albeit for lunch only.

Tiffins doesn't offer outdoor seating while Nomad, the Tiffins-adjacent lounge, doesn't take reservations.

The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge doesn't offer ADRs, and has only been serving drinks since re-opening, unless something has changed very recently.
 
Also, I forgot to mention that Chefs de France encased its patio quite some years ago, so that would be a no-go for an outdoor seating-only trip.
 
PP is correct--the only in-park ADR restaurants that have outdoor dining right now are Tony's, Spice Road Table, and Rose & Crown; however, neither one of those has an option to guarantee outdoor dining (for example, we ate at Rose & Crown and they had no outdoor tables available). Also, note that on cold days/nights, Tony's patio is enclosed with plastic sheeting.

I thought the patio was not used for ADRs at La Hacienda but was instead only for the quick service restaurant, La Cantina de San Angel (unless they've changed that recently)?

You may be right. I had only heard second-hand about La Hacienda. The only ADR meal I've had at Epcot since reopening was SRT, where there was plenty of outdoor availability, but nothing guaranteed as you said.

I agree, this would be a great topic for a dining show. Outside dining is so important during this crazy COVID time.
 
I was hoping to find a compiled list of Table Service with an outdoor option. Hoping others that have been to the world recently can add to this.

So far I’ve dined at:
MK
Tony’s-pretty mediocre but they do have wine and beer and the cavalcades roll past. Usually I prefer to take the boat over to Geyser Point at the WL.

*

Epcot
Rose and Crown-kinda heavy for lunch on a hot day, lovely patio, great beer
Spice Road-my favorite, great patio, lovely small plates

*

Animal Kingdom
(no outdoor seating at the TS but the QS is good here)
Nomad Lounge- very limited, you may have to sign up and wait
Flame Tree BBQ-beautiful seating area on the water
Satu’li Canteen-mediocre seating area, really decent food

*

DHS
I believe all TS is indoor seating only. I usually just grab a snack at Baseline Tap House.

*

Disney Springs has the best selection of TS with both outdoor seating and decent food.
The seating at Boathouse/Dockside Bar is really lovely.

The $9.99 weekday burger lunch special at STK is the best value in WDW IMHO.

I haven’t tried it but Homecomin’ has patio seating.

Love, love, love small plates on the balcony at Wine Bar George

Earl of Sandwich has limited outdoor seating.


*

We’ve also had nice meals at:
Olivia’s (OKW/dinner)
Trattoria al Forno (BW/breakfast)



Bon Appetit!

I think you got it a little backwards - the patio is always for La Cantina and during lunch you can take your QS meal into the La Hacienda building to eat.
La Hacienda is only open for dinner and only has indoor seating.

Ooh didn’t know about the lunchtime burger special at Boathouse - will have to try it! Had the filet sliders last time and they were delicious!

If you're at Springs another option is Jock Lindsay's although it's more happy-hour snack-type stuff (pretzel with dipping sauces, sliders, nachos). Theming is great, though.
