Dining at Walt Disney World can be an experience in and of itself. From pot roast to pot luck, from luxurious fine dining to eating on the fly -- Walt Disney World has it all. Feeling exotic? The Africian Indian restaurant Sanaa at the Animal Kingdom Lodge might be to your tastes, or maybe you'd like the Middle Eastern experience at Marrakesh in Epcot's Morocco pavilion. How about something tasty and healthy? Head over to the Wave at the Contemporary!

Need to treat someone special to a fancy "event"? That's what the Grand Floridian resort's Victoria and Albert's is for. Want some good, old-fashioned home cooking? Try the fried chicken or pot roast at the '50s Prime Time Cafe at the Disney's Hollywood Studios. In a hurry? Then grab a burger at the Backlot Express or a grilled cheese at Beaches and Cream. All the ins and outs of Disney dining can be found here! We even have an assortment of your favorite Walt Disney World restaurant recipes!

WHAT'S ON THE MENU?
One of the best ways to tell if the restaurant is right for you is to take a look at the menu. Luckily, AllEars.Net has current menus with the prices, from almost every eating establishment on Disney property to help you make your decisions. All of the major sit-down restaurants are represented, as well as most counter service and quick service spots.

WHAT KIND OF RESTAURANT IS IT?
Want to know a little bit more than just what's on the menu? You can find restaurant reviews that include tips and ideas for making your Disney dining experiences memorable. You'll also find pictures here of the restaurants interiors, and some exteriors, so you can get a feel for the place's ambience. And, even though nearly every place at WDW loves children, we also offer advice on spots that are especially kid friendly.

DO I NEED ADVANCE DINING RESERVATIONS?

In a word, YES! At one time you only needed reservations for busy/peak seasons, that is no longer true. With the Disney Dining Plan, it has become very difficult to get walk-up or even same-day reservations at the majority of the restaurants (especially in the theme parks).

For table service restaurants, Walt Disney World offers Advance Reservations. You are told to check in at the restaurant's podium at least 5-10 minutes prior to your seating time, and will receive the next available table for your party size. To find out more about Advance Reservations, read the FAQ. Make your Advance Reservations for Disney restaurants by calling 407-WDW-DINE (939-3463) 180 days in advance. Disney's Central Reservation Office, or CRO (407-W-DISNEY), can also make your Advance Reservations, as can Lobby Concierge at your Disney hotel. Phone lines open at 7 a.m. Eastern time. (Swan and Dolphin Restaurant reservations can also be made through WDW's Dining number at 407-WDW-DINE.)

ONLINE RESERVATIONS: You can now also book most dining reservations online at Disney's website here: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/

NOTE: All Disney Restaurants are nonsmoking.

Other Disney restaurants and special dining events require reservations that must be guaranteed with a credit card. For more details, refer to the Advance Reservations FAQ.

WHAT IS THE DISNEY DINING PLAN?

Many restaurants now participate in the Disney Dining Plan, which is part of a vacation package offered by Walt Disney World. Periodically this is offered as a "Free" add-on during off peak times (January, September) For a detailed explanation of the program, and a list of the restaurants that participate, visit our Magic Your Way Dining Plan page. Read what others say about the Disney Dining Plan!

WHERE ARE THE CHARACTERS?
Children (and adults!) love dining with the Disney characters. We highly recommend Advance Reservations for character meals to avoid disappointment. To find out where Mickey makes an appearance, and where the rest of your favorite characters are, refer to these pages:

CAN MY KIDS EAT FOR FREE?
Walt Disney World Resort Restaurants consider a child to be ages 3-9. Most restaurants have a separate children's menu with selections geared to children's tastes. Most children's meals are priced under $8, although some restaurants may have higher-priced offerings.

At table service restaurants, there is no charge for children under 3 who share from an adult's plate. However, if you order from a menu for a children under 3, you will be charged the menu price.

At buffet and "all-you-care-to-eat" restaurants, there is also no charge for children under 3 who share from an adult's plate. However, if you order from a separate children's or ala carte menu for a child under 3 (rather than eating from the buffet or all-you-care-to-eat offerings), you will be charged the price reflected on the menu.

At counter service restaurants, you will be charged the menu price if you order a meal for a child under 3.

NOTE: When making your Advance Reservations, be sure to include all children in your count of members of your party, even if they will be seated in a highchair.

We can do a whole vegetarian dinner from start to finish. I can take you through five courses, if you'd like. There are so many things you could do here that you could have a table of six vegetarians, and I could feed you all different courses. We are the king of vegetarians!

Your waiter's words ring in your ears as he hustles off to get you a glass of wine, and you take a moment to look around.

Fifteen floors in the sky, you notice the view first: a breathtaking panorama of earth and sky through clear plate glass. You manage to pull your gaze from the window and, slowly, you begin to appreciate the sophisticated style of the room itself. Art Deco symmetries remind you of a 1930s ocean liner; a riot of bold forms--square wall panels, circular windows, and tall vases of brushed aluminum--lend an urbane, avant-garde polish.

The crowd this evening is a surprising mix of professional couples, groups of friends out to toast the week's end, and entire families with kids in tow. You order your meal and--at your waiter's suggestion--you take an impromptu tour of the open, "on-stage" kitchen, where sushi counters, pastry stations, and the huge oak-fired grill are abuzz with activity.

Colorful designs, inspired by the abstractions of Klee and Kandinsky, are repeated in the upholstery, the carpets, and the vest of the waiter who returns you to your seat and delivers the first course. If God is in the details, this meal should be divine. And it is.

Chef Clifford Pleau's chilled Gazpacho, spiked with vinegar and topped with fresh guacamole, sharpens your appetite for the savory Brick Oven Flatbread, smothered in grilled mushrooms, roasted garlic, caramelized red onions, and feta cheese. And your companion's Avocado and Vegetable Roll is by far the most delectable sushi you've ever eaten.
