Help me brainstorm restaurants with outdoor dining.

[coolbrook]

I have a trip planned for mid-July and in thinking about eating at restaurants I'm wondering if I might do the opposite of my usual search for airconditioned restaurants and choose ones with outdoor seating. I just found out that ABC Commissary has outdoor seating for example. I'm also wondering if there are any table service restaurants with outdoor seating. Do any of you have recommendations?

Spice Road Table, Rose and Crown in Epcot.
Maybe Brown Derby in HS?

Maybe Olivia's Cafe and Banana Cabana too?

I completely forgot about these, thank you. I will try to get an adr at one of these. I will look up the other two you mentioned too.

Via Napoli. We've had two really enjoyable dinners sitting in their outside seating area around sunset. We think it is too loud to eat inside that restaurant but the outside seating is really nice and in a relaxing area with a good view.

Boathouse and a number of others in Disney Springs have outside seating. The Boathouse dock seating is great. We also sat outside at Frontera Cocina. And Raglan Road. And the Indiana Jones bar place.

I believe Topolino's has a nice outdoor seating area, but I am not sure if it's full menu out there or not.

Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge comes to mind. It's sort of in a gray area between quick service and table service.

Disney Springs, Homecomin, D-Luxe Burger, and Blaze Pizza all have really nice outdoor areas. Homecomin is the only Table Service one, but the others are so nice and relaxing, I thought I'd include those too. Oh! The Boathouse, which I've never been but I know they have outdoor dining.

Tony's (meh) has some outdoor seating.

Does anyone know if Cosmic Ray's has outdoor seating?

Does anyone know if Cosmic Ray's has outdoor seating?

Why would anyone want to eat at Cosmic Rays?

I kid, I kid. What I MEANT to say was why would anyone want to eat at Cosmic Ray's and not experience the vocal stylings of one Sonny Eclipse?

I am not sure about Cosmic Rays, but Tomorrowland Terrace definitely does, if it is open.

I don't believe they did last time I was there. Pinocchio's does.

Tomorrowland Terrace seems like would be a great one for Disney to open with its open air seating and lots of space to space out tables.

Thanks for the great ideas everyone!

It does. It's under cover kind of across from the Tomorrowland Speedway.

It's an okay option, but in my experience it's only open during the busiest times. "Seasonal".

Maybe Brown Derby in HS?

The Brown Derby Lounge is outside. I don't think the restaurant itself has any outdoor seating.

HBD Lounge doesn't have the full Brown Derby menu but does have a pretty good choice of small bites. Nomad Lounge in AK has outside seating. Some have said they were able to order off the Tiffins menu but I've never tried it. A number of QS have it - off the top of my head in WS in Epcot - Morocco, Japan, Mexico. At AK the whole Harambe Martket thing, Flametree BBQ, Yak and Yeti.
At MK Pecos Bills
At HS other than HBD the only one I can think of is the brewery and they only have a couple of limited options.

Turf Club has nice outdoor seating.

Does anyone know if Cosmic Ray's has outdoor seating?

Definitely does, we sit in their outdoor seating area on every trip! We've actually only eaten indoors there once when it rained nonstop the entire day! We prefer to eat outdoors so we do at every restaurant where possible.

Turf Club has nice outdoor seating.

This is a picture I found when I looked up Turf Club! It looks lovely.

House of Blues at Disney Springs has outdoor seating and live entertainment (not sure of dates and times). The Shrimp & Grits are awesome.

Frontera Cocina
Terralina Crafted Italian
Paridiso 37 (although I don't recommend it)
Splitsville (outdoor bar area where you can get food)
