Outdoor Dining at WDW

[tweetykl]

We are a family that has done Disneyland a lot and finally did Aulani this last week. Our first trip to WDW will be next year at WDW. We prefer outdoor dining And we do realize that Florida is hot. What are your favorite outdoor dining ADR’s and places to eat? We will be staying at Beach Club for 8 nights.

Here is a great story from January 2022 from the ThePointsGuy website - The best restaurants for outdoor dining at Disney World

Homecoming at Disney Springs has nice outdoor seating and is also easy to do a walk up for. I almost always do walk up there and have never waited more than 30 minutes for a table. Woody's Lunchbox at HS also has good food (for a theme park anyway) and has only outdoor seating. I mostly do indoor seating since it's too dang hot in Florida so sorry for not being too much help.

Our favorite outdoor dining:

• Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge
• Big River Grille at the Boardwalk
• Three Bridges at Coronado Springs
• Satu’li Canteen at Disney's Animal Kingdom
• Rose & Crown at Epcot

We also enjoy a monster-size slice outside at Pizza Ponte at Disney Springs. (Disney Springs has several good outdoor spots but the slice is big and reasonably priced at $6.95.)



But our absolute favorite outdoor spot is having a beer at Baseline Taphouse:

Totally forgot about Geyser Point. That's one of my favorite restaurants in WDW - great food that isn't expensive and wonderful views of the lagoon. I've never had an issue getting a table around lunchtime but it does get pretty busy during dinner.

We were at Geyser Point 2 weeks ago (waited 30 minutes for a table at night - grabbed a couple of beers and sat at a table just outside to wait for a table in Geyser Point):

Our favorite outdoor dining is the porch at Nomad Lounge. Even in the heat it's not bad out there, the food and drinks are fantastic, plus the cavalcades on the river go right by. It's not an ADR, but you can join the virtual wait list, or just get there for opening for your pick of tables.

We also love the outdoor dining at Rose and Crown. We used to love watching the fireworks from there and even though the view isn't as great with the new show these days, we'll still book the fireworks package there since it is so nice to have a place to sit away from the crowds with a glass of wine to watch the show.

We loved The Boathouse at Disney Springs.

If you're going to be at Beach Club you can walk over to Boardwalk and sit outside at Trattoria al Forno right on the boardwalk...it's particularly nice for breakfast when it isn't too hot yet and their breakfast is cheap and good.

Depending on when you are going to WDW, you might change your mind about dining outside!

Geyser Point at WL is a huge family favorite. It is so relaxed and you can get a nice breeze off the lake. (I know it was mentioned but it is just wonderful!)
In addition to those already said -
Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge has outdoor seating at HS.
Tony's in MK has outdoor seating and possible parade viewing.
Many QS locations have outdoor seating.

Our favourites from years gone by (almost all December visits):

Olivia's at OKW, watching the boat to DS come and go
The Boathouse at DS, watching the amphicars come and go
Satu'li Canteen at AK, nice and airy
Yak & Yeti local cafe at AK, peaceful and shady round the back
Yorkshire Chippy at Epcot, officially a QS but they have a peaceful seating area overlooking the water
Via Napoli at Epcot, another peaceful spot (can you spot a theme here for us??)

Visiting in August this year, for the first time, so the need for air-con may override the need for peace and quiet.
