Best resort for dinner on the night we arrive?

[cozyplaidblanket]

We are staying at All Star Movies, and we won't arrive at the hotel until around 9:15pm on a Monday, which will be an hour earlier our time. Would it be better to eat at All Star Movies, or to take an uber to another resort? If we go outside of our hotel, we would prefer to go to another resort, as opposed to Disney Springs, because we will be spending most of the day there on another day. Any suggestions?

9:15pm seems late to me. I'd just eat at the Movies foodcourt and go to bed. Most TS restaurants at the resorts close at 9:30pm or 10pm at the latest.

I agree, eat at the resort food court. Or even eat whatever the plane is serving up and just grab a snack and an adult beverage to take up to your room once you’ve arrived.

I agree with the others, 9:15 is pretty late. When we arrive after 8pm, we just grab something from the food court and call it a night.

I would opt for a meal at the food court.

Food court.

We’ve run into a situation several times where there are no food places open at our arrival time. Be sure to either bring snacks or pick up something at the airport just in case you arrive later than expected.

I agree with everyone else to just eat at the resort.

If you want real food before leaving the airport (you're not assigned to a specific bus/time), some locations are open until the last flight arrives https://orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/shops-restaurants/ and McDonalds in the main terminal is open 24 hours.

I'm bucking the trend. If your family still has enough stamina, head to Disney Springs. There are too many good places to eat there, why would you settle for a food court? You're on vacation, live it up!

I'd go with the food court. If your flight is on time, you feel rested and want a "real meal" I suggest AKL. Its close. You can view animals. Short Uber ride.

If you'd prefer TS, then I'd recommend Boma at AK. AK is close to ASMO so the uber/cab/lyft won't be too high. Boma is a Buffett, but they have tons of choices. We did a late dinner there in September ( around 845p ) and everything was still really fresh and new food was being put out even as we were leaving.

The food court is good if your tired after traveling as well. But if you want to plan on TS, then Boma is a great option.

I would eat at the food court or order pizza.

Are you driving or taking ME? If driving I would stop somewhere on the way to the resort.

This is what I'm thinking, if we aren't tired!

We also would go with the food court at our resort. We like to get settled and then get up early for rope drop the next morning.

I *think* many resort TS restaurants close at 10pm. I don't know what the last ADR time they offer is, but if you won't be arriving at your resort until 9:15pm, you'd have a narrow window to make it on time. And you'd be risking the no-show penalty with that as well. For QS, I think most may be open until 11ish, but I don't really find any worth going out of my way for, especially at that time of night. The only one I'd consider would be Capt. Cook's at Poly, because its a fun resort to just stroll around, and possibly catch the electric water pageant and maybe some fireworks.

We’ve sometimes visited the MCO food court if we’ll be getting to the resort too late. There’s a McDonald’s, Carvel’s, a Chinese place, Sbarro’s and Chick-fil-A (but not on Sunday) and a deli-like eatery. We sometimes get a box of Krispy Creme donuts there too for a treat for breakfast.

We usually order groceries, but if arriving late we just have them delivered the following morning so we can’t rely on them. Or a pizza delivery might be fun.

Traveling wipes me out, so anything easy gets my vote.

I’d go with the food court. At that time your options elsewhere will be limited. If you grabbed a snack or meal at your resort, you could spend the rest of the evening relaxing at the pool or looking around, refreshed for the next day.
