Outdoor dining options

[SFMommy]

We prefer to eat outside and I'm wondering which of these sit-down restaurants offer outdoor dining. Last summer we ate outside at WCT and Naples and both were wonderful. For our arrival night, we are looking at these restaurants in DTD/hotels. Any feedback on outdoor dining would be appreciated!

Tortilla Joe's
Ralph Brennan's
Splitsville
Trader Sam's
Craftsman Bar

I believe that all of them have some form of outdoor dining.

With Trader Sam's, I feel like you lose some of the charm if you eat outside, but you can always just mobile order from Tangaroa Terrace and sit outside as they have similar menus. I haven't eaten at any of the others, so I don't really have any insight on them, unfortunately.

I had lunch at Craftsman Bar, its outside , either at the bar or overlooking the pool. The Craftsman Grill is outside too, all the tables just have a sunshade roof.

I walked past Ralph Brennans and Tortilla Joe's they both have an outside seating area.

I didnt take much notice of Splitsville but I'm sure they also have an outdoor seating area.

The Craftsman Bar is a lovely place to eat outside. Casual and comfortable with great food! We ended up eating there three times on our last trip because we all enjoyed the food and casual atmosphere so much. We also enjoyed eating on the upstairs balcony at Ralph Brennan’s and taking in the view and ambiance of Downtown Disney from above.

I think we were both planning trips around the same time last year, too!
