Sit Down Dinners

[Kyla Moore]

In the process of planning our first trip to Disney. I would like to have a sit down dinner each night. If you had to pick 4 places to go for a sit down dinner at any park what would they be?

That's such a wide open question! There are so many choices and everyone's going to have different opinions. If you provide more details, it can help narrow down choices for you.

Who's in your party? Kids, adults only? Picky eaters or adventurous? Do you want character meals or are they not so important? Are you on the dining plan? Is cost at all a factor? Are you looking for one restaurant in each park? Are you open to going to resorts? Are you more interested the best food or the most unique experience?

Give us more to go on and you'll get plenty of feedback!

My favorites have been:
Ohana - at the Poly
Chefs de France - in Epcot
Be Our Guest - Magic Kingdom

 

[GeorgiaHoo]

Four places, not limited to a park and table service not signature would be Chefs de France, Boma, Be Our Guest (for the atmosphere, food was ok), and either Teppan Edo or 'Ohana.

It will be me and my husband & our 2 children 8(girl) 16(boy) as well as my mother. We will most likely be doing the meal plan. So we would like to do 1 night for my daughter but the other nights are open. Just as long as the food is good. Thanks

For us it would be Via Napoli, Beaches and Cream, Kona Cafe and Flying Fish Cafe. We don't really do park restaurants

 

[Hopefully]

We always pick which park which day first then choose our restaurants accordingly. WDW is HUGE. Travelling just for dinner to a different area is a huge waste of time.

If you are on the DDP and you want to use 1 TS credit/night I would suggest:
Epcot area: Via Napoli for Pizza in Epcot
MK Area: "Ohana or Kona at the Poly - a short boat ride away.
DHS Area: 50's Prime Time Café in DHS is great fun and good "home style" food
AK Area: Boma or Saana at the Animal Kingdom Lodge

Good LUck

Magic Kingdom = Be Our Guest for your daughter...she will love it!
Epcot and The Studios are too difficult to decide...depends on your taste in food.
We love 50's Prime Time at the Studios but more for the atmosphere as my son thinks it's a riot to get yelled at for putting his elbows on the table.

MK- Be Our Guest or Ohana (Polynesian)
EP- Teppan Edo or Via Napoli
AK- Tusker House

We also enjoy Fulton's and TRex Cafe in Disney Springs.

Prepare for TONS of responses!

MK - Cinderella's Table or Be our Guest (would lean towards CRT for experience)
HS - 50s Prime Time or Sci Fi (food is better at 50s so that would probably win out)
EP - Via Napoli (food) or Akershus (princess experience)
AK - Jiko (2 credits) or Sanaa (1 credit) - if credits make a difference

 

[eastendlights]

AK-the park closes early so on AK days we eat at a resort or DTD -we don't park hop-House of Blues at DTD would be fun for your son- at a resort either 'Ohana or Cape May Café for casual /Artist Point, The Wave, Shula's or Yachtsman for a more upscale meal
MK-Cinderella's Royal Table (for your dd and you and your mom-LOL-first meal ever there had me tearing up)
HS-Brown Derby(more for the food) or 50's Prime Time (more for the experience/setting)
Epcot-Rose & Crown, Le Cellier or Teppan Edo

 

[goofyintoronto]

@ Epcot, Via Napoli for sure. Teppan Edo is also good, but via is my fave.
@ HS either 50's prime or SciFi
@ MK: We love Crystal Palace for breakfast. BOG would be a great choice too, IF you can get the reservation!
@ DTD i'd choose Raglan Road. The menu is great as well as the irish step dancers.

 

[Masonmj84]

For me:

Magic Kingdom area:
1 credit - 'Ohana
2 credits - Artist Point, Citricos, Cali Grill, Narcoossee's, or Hoop dee Doo Revue (IMO, lots of good 2 credit choices in MK area but they are all in the resorts and not the MK)

Epcot area:
1 credit - Via Napoli
2 credits - Flying Fish

Hollywood Studios:
1 credit - 50's Prime Time
2 credits - Hollywood Brown Derby (although I'd rate this below any of the other 2 credit restaurants referenced in this post)

Animal Kingdom area:
1 credit - Boma or Sanaa
2 credits - Jiko

As you can see, we are partial to resort restaurants over park restaurants.

Can you make reservations in DTD the same as you would for the park restaurants?

Yes, but House of Blues has a shorter window booking through Disney-maybe 30 days out (which should be plenty of time to get what you want) -I'm not certain-but you can also book it on Open Table however long their window is open. As far as I know, the others are bookable via Disney at 180.
