Is it possible...

To go to a restaurant in the parks without using up a "day" on your 3 day pass?
DH and I will be getting in late, and would be ok with going to a restaurant outside of the park. However, there are so many places that we wish to go IN the park that I'm curious.
Thanks!

They will require park admission, even if you are going in just to eat.

That is what the practical side of my brain told me! Thanks for your reply- I appriciate the conformation.

No problem, glad I could help

(Sorry I couldn't give you the answer that you were looking for )

Downtown Disney is a really good place to spend half a day, and there are lots of good restaurants there, including the Rainforest Cafe if you have kids, as well as some more grown-up choices!

Have you ever been to the Boardwalk area? There are many places to eat there, including ESPN zone, which your dh would prob love, or any resort. Cape May Cafe is our family`s arrival night tradition since we don`t want to use a park ticket either. Save the park restaurants for the day you visit that park. Do you have hopper option? There is also the monorail resorts that have great restaurants as well.

I second both the Downtown Disney and Boardwalk suggestions! Spoodles and ESPN zone are good. At DTD we love Fulton's and are looking forward to trying House of Blues. Plus there is Rainforest Cafe, Wolfgang Puck (my parents love that) and Planet Hollywood.
You could also try one of the resort restaurants too - tons of those to find something of interest to you. Enjoy!

Another suggestion is Kona Cafe at the Poly -- great food and location. Depending on how late you get in, you could eat dinner there and then go stand on the white sand beach and watch the Electric Light Parade in the water, or the fireworks show, Wishes, which is shown at MK but you can see the fireworks from the Poly. I really enjoy the food at the Kona and the Poly is just a lovely resort, too. Of course, you really can't make a "wrong" choice when you're at Disney! Pick what's best for you and your DH and have a magical time!
