Dining Recommendations in Epcot Resort/Skyliner Area?

[d0naldduck123]

Hello! I'm heading to Disney for a few days between Christmas and New Years with a couple of friends, which will be their first time at Disney World. We'll only be there for a couple of days and staying at All Star Sports. It looks like AK will close at 6 so I was first thinking either going to AKL and getting dinner at Sanaa, but since it's their first time at Disney I wanted to show them around more and maybe do a skyliner ride, so now I'm considering getting a bus from AK over to one of the Epcot resorts, getting dinner, then taking the Skyliner to HS and getting a bus back home to the All Stars from there. I've been to Ale&Compass and Topolino, but what are some other dinner recommendations at the Epcot resorts?

Depends on $$$, Yachtsman Steakhouse if they are steak or Prime Rib lovers, Cape May if they don’t mind a buffet and Seafood. You know about Ale and Compass. On the Boardwalk, Flying Fish $$$ and Trattoria Al Forno for Italian. All fine choices, usually pretty decent and predictable. I personally think Ale and Compress is very underrated for the price.

Sebastian's at Caribbean Beach is great and priced well. You're a bit boxed in in terms of food selection, but everything I've had there is delicious, and their rum flight is a special treat.

If you're looking for a decent meal at at good price, the Fountain at the Dolphin would be a good choice. Take the bus to the Boardwalk and walk over. I agree with @Ricguz about Ale & Compass.

If they've never been to Disney before I would stick with BW/YC TS restaurants like Flying Fish, Trattoria, or Yachtsman instead of heading to Swan/Dolphin, as they'll get to experience Disney-theming as well as Christmas decor around that area. Sebastian's is another good suggestion, depending on the crowd, or even Bar Riva if you want something more casual but fun. Enjoy your trip1

Flying Fish is great if you want to stick to a Disney resort. All of the Swan/Dolphin restaurants are fabulous - we loved Rosa Mexicano on our last trip and always enjoy bluezoo and Il Mulino. If you like sushi, Kimonos is fabulous.

Depends on if you want TS, QS, casual, not so casual. Personally, I love the options at Dolphin but I stay there a lot. All the others mentioned are good as well. If you really want to splurge and have a lot of time stalking ADRs/reservations the New Cake Bake Shop on BW is getting mixed reviews.
