Picnic spots

[LeslieB123]

We will eat a few meals in restaurants in the parks, but we will bring snacks every day and picnic lunches most days. I want to have some ideas of good places to eat lunch so we aren't wandering around too much looking for a good spot when we are there and hungry. I searched the forums and wanted to double check if these locations are still good places since things change in the parks. I don't want to eat in QS restaurant patios if we can help it unless it is really really empty. I know it's technically ok but I'd rather eat somewhere else if possible. If anyone has another idea to add to the list, that would be great!

Epcot:
-UK pavilion-Garden by Rose and Crown with tables and chairs (I assume this isn't part of the pub, it's just next to it?)
-Japan pavilion-Tea garden with lanterns, left of the pavilion
-Outpost-tables and chairs by the Outpost
-Greenspace in FutureWorld, bring a blanket

Magic Kingdom:
-Storybook circus-table and chairs with umbrellas
-Table and chairs outside Tangled washrooms
-Tom Sawyer island
-Tomorrowland Terrace when it is closed

Animal Kingdom:
-Flame Tree BBQ-table in furthest away pavilion
-Picnic tables between Africa and Asia
-Picnic table near Chesters in Dinoland

Hollywood Studios:
-Min and Bill's Dockside Diner-tables and benches with umbrellas beside the diner

If you're happy to sit on the ground the Hub grass in Magic Kingdom is great for people watching and a lovely outlook.

In Epcot, there are a few picnic tables along the lagoon across from the Germany pavilion, on the other side of the walking path. There are also sometimes (usually?) tables near the miniature trains (I'm not sure if those were just there for Flower and Garden, or are always there).

Where are the miniature trains? I'm going during Flower and Garden (in 30 days!) so hopefully they will still be there.

The miniature trains are always there.

The trains are by the Germany pavilion. Outside. Lovely village, trains, people. We love that area.

 

[Hopefully]

Your first two Epcot choices are part of QS locations.

The trains are always there, by Germany. I'm not sure if the tables are always there, though!

I wasn't sure if they were or not when I read about them on another thread. Thanks for letting me know!

A CM made me get off the grass in front of Mission Space. My then BF was riding and said the only thing that could make today better was beer and chips - I knew where the beer and chips were, just around the corner by TT, so he rode single rider and I got 2 beers and chips. Maybe the CM just thought I was sitting there getting drunk? He was nice, but maybe it's a rule? There definitely aren't "don't sit" signs though, so hopefully it'll be ok!

Also, there's seating in the France pavilion which would be be a lovely place to eat.

In my many years going to wdw I have only seen a couple people sitting on the grass in Epcot. I don't think it was intended for that as it is a hill. I don't mean just behind the curb. I don't go at peak times so that may be why.

I see lots of people in the grass area of the hub in MK sitting ever since it was opened. MK also has rocking chairs in fronteirland and depending on when you go the tortuga tavern is often closed and you can use those tables and chairs-nice for some shade as well.

In the very back of the U.K. pavilion, is a garden that has benches around it. I've had a picnic there before. It's a quiet location off the main strip.
