Fav Dining - Magic Kingdom Area

[Chili327]

A full all out battle royale of all the dining. Part 1 MK Area (I'll add other area polls as fast as i can... who needs to work today. lol)

Pick up to 3, also post something you feel is missing (maybe i can add/edit it in) Poll will only allow 10, so I put Liberty Tree instead of Be Our Guest, because people probably aren't going there for the food.

Poll closes Dec 31st Then we'll do the battle royale final of the top winners, next year.

Liberty Tree Tavern and Whispering Canyon Cafe for breakfast.

 

[Leigh L]

Story Book Dining at Artist Point (dinner) would always get my vote

 

[Chili327]

Funny, the only 3 places I've eaten are the top 3 here. I guess i did some kind of research before my trip. lol

This is tough! I went with Geyser Point because of the overall vibe paired with good food. I will say that out of all of these options I've probably had the best overall meal at Citricos.

 

[BrianL]

I always went to BoG for the food. I know people complain about it, but my experience has always be great.

Of the poll, I'll take Skipper Canteen for in-park, and Whispering Canyon for resort dining.

 

[Pens Fan]

Skipper's for dining in MK - the only TS we utilize there.
Narcoossee's for a special night out - especially if you time it around the fireworks.
Geyser Point over and over - never gets old (helps that we stay at Copper Creek more than anywhere else). Try to time it for the fireworks and Electrical Water Pageant, but it's also a great way to escape the crazy for nice, quiet lunch.

Shout out to Territory Lounge at WL as well. You can easily make a meal out of the apps which come from the Artist Point kitchen. If you ask nicely, you can even get the yummy mushroom soup from AP. Drinks are fantastic as well.

 

[Sprinkles&Sprints]

We had a great meal at Artist Point - not really into character dining myself but took my kiddo. Food was very good.

I know California Grill evokes strong opinions but we have now made this a regular stop on every trip. The food has always been top notch.

 

[Chili327]

I wish i had set these to expire sooner. lol
But there will be plenty of data to move on to the next rounds.

To me Steakhouse 71 is the perfect dining spot for a night at MK.

To me Steakhouse 71 is the perfect dining spot for a night at MK. I drive there for my ADR and leave my car in the lot and walk to MK after dinner.

At the end of the night I get to avoid the monorail/ferry craziness and just walk back across the street to get in my car!

Do they charge you for parking or validate or something? I’m surprised you can park in their lot without a hotel reservation.

If you have an ADR you can drive in to the resort and park. You’re supposed to leave after eating but once you’re in the lot you just blend in with hotel guests.

One of the few times I’ve ever eaten breakfast at a WDW restaurant was at Kona Cafe and it was really worth it. Don’t remember a lot about the meal but it was peaceful enough to read my newspaper and there was plenty of table space to eat my softly scrambled just like a diner eggs. Had coffee instead of tea just because the air smelled of freshly roasted beans.

Geyser Point is our go to spot when we’re get “peckish” during the day at MK. The bison burger, edamame and charcuterie plate all make my black cherry mule taste better .

 

[Simba's Mom]

Wow, Geyser Point is in a strong third right now. I've been meaning to get there, but haven't. Last time I was at WL, it was in the mid-40s and drizzly out. Hopefully it will be warmer this next time.

Yea it is great, actually I think all the top 3 are great!!

Obviously this isn't a everyday dining option, but V&As! LOVE IT! We've only dined there once but it was very memorable, worth the $$$$ IMO! I've been looking at their food pics that people posted the past few months, they look even better now that they got one Michelin star. I can't wait to go back!

Yea, i figured it wasn't worth adding, since most wouldn't have tried it... I know I'd have to rent clothes to be let in. lol

Nah you don't! Pretty much what you would wear to a wedding will do! Unless you're a cowboy...then I say your wedding guest attire will be very different!
They tweaked the dress code a bit. Pre-pandemic, a jacket/blazer was required for all men. If you walk in and didn't have one, they will lent you one (they had a closet full of different sizes). The couple in front of us, the dude didn't have one so they told him it's required, and asked him what size, he put it on before they would even walk them into the dining room.

Just seeing these polls. Is it me? I can't see it in the voting options.

FWIW- My vote is California Grill.

 

[WDWLODGE]

Jungle Nav was a close 2nd for me but I went with Geyser Point.
