Disney World Restaurant Help

[DisneyWorldParkExpert]

I'm looking forward to my fifth visit to Disney World, but I need three table service restaurants to eat at. The restrictions are:

1. On Disney World Property
2. Not at a Theme Park
3. Not nearly expensive for four adults
4. No Fine/Signature Dining

Any ideas?

Sanaa - at Animal Kingdom Lodge
Kona - at Polynesian
Olivia's - at Old Key West

You can look at menus on allears.net to get pricing ideas for different restaurants.

'Ohana is always our first choice but we have eaten at Trails End at Ft. Wilderness a few times and enjoy it.

The Wave at the Contemporary
Trails End at Ft Wilderness
Kona Cafe at the Polynesian
Grand Floridian Cafe at GF

Sanaa - good food and service; if you go before dark, you will likely see animals on the savannah; bread service is topnotch
Il Mulino - if you are averse to fine dining period, then don't go; however, if it's primarily due to expense, then this is a good option as all the entree pastas can be ordered as small plates (ergo, smaller prices). Not a stuffy place, either.
Kona - usually a solid choice with a good menu; not sure it's on the menu, but once had lamb there that was perfectly cooked and delicious, no small feat these days
Buffets - if you like these, then Boma and 1900 Park Fare are two of the better ones; Cape May Cafe has an all-you-care-to-eat crab legs dinner buffet, just don't go expecting outstanding crab; rest of buffet is okay
The Wave - overall nice ambiance, solid food and service

The Wave or Captain's Grille are pretty good options. Perhaps Grand Floridian Cafe (though I've never been).

DS-Homecoming and Frontera Cocina
At the resorts we enjoy:
Boma
The Wave
Grand Floridian Cafe

Shutters at CBR is a hidden gem in my opinion. Nice atmosphere with good food. Perfect for adults night out. Not terribly expensive.

Beaches and Cream

Cheap (for Disney) ... good menu.

Maybe Ragland Road .... but you can make it expensive here pretty easily

Trails End at Ft. Wilderness is a wonderful meal! So, so good!

 

[Harambe]

Splitsville at Disney Springs. Huge varied menu and you can keep the cost down depending on your choices.

For a cheap meal Earl of Sandwiches is on top of our to do. Trex, Trails End and Kona Cafe. Hidden Gem for breakfast is Olivia's at Key west (Banana bread french toast).

Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge (by far our favorite buffet - adventurous for those who want it, but safe choices for those who don't) and The Wave at Contemporary. We love both!

ALL the buffet restaurants mentioned in the previous posts are expensive, currently $42 and up for dinner except for Trail's End which is $32. (If you have a Disney Visa, you get 10% off at Trails End). We love it, btw.

We also love Trattoria al Forno on The Boardwalk. Their Risotto of the day is usually yummy.

Boma and Raglan Road

'Ohana and Sanaa come to mind first.

I've enjoyed my meals at Sanaa, Boatwrights, Raglan Rd, and The Wave (but only breakfast there).

Our favorite was Sanaa, with Shutters being a close second.
