Where should we eat for lunch?

[Shroog]

I need suggestions on where we should eat for lunch one day. We arrive in on Fri night, staying at an offsite hotel, and then moving to an offsite condo for the week. We will eat free breakfast in the hotel on Sat morning, then plan to hit Winter Summerland, then lunch somewhere, before grabbing groceries and checking in to our condo at 2pm. So, my question is, where should we eat lunch? Any suggestions? It can be offsite or at a resort hotel, just not in the parks. We will already be visiting Disney Springs 2 evenings, so don't need to do that, and we are hitting Ohana one night, and 1900 Park Fare one night.

Anyways, just looking for some suggestions. Thanks!

Raglan Road at Disney Springs. It's one of my favorite restaurants, quality & atmosphere wise on property! I have not tried any of the new places yet at Disney Springs so you may want to look into them as well if there's something else that appeals more to your taste there.

Soda shop at Dolphin is fun, I'm not sure about parking though, I think you would have to pay by the hour.

Soda shop is okay, but I would stick to real Disney since you are staying in a condo. You are going to be close to Animal Kingdom Lodge - you could do Boma, Sanaa, or if you go outside Animal Kingdom theme park Rainforest Cafe. Or something at the Boardwalk ? Trattorio or The Flying Fish. Gelato after - yum!

Is the Soda shop Beaches and Cream? We haven't tried that before! Good idea!

I forgot about the Boardwalk!! I think that would be great-we've never been! Thanks!

Off site I recommend Giordano's for deep dish pizza or pasta and whatnot. Very good.

My fave WDW resort dining:
Beach Club Beaches and Cream
Animal Kingdom Villas Sanaa
Wilderness Lodge Whispering Canyon Cafe

others worth mentioning are:
Poly Kona
Grand FL Cafe

DS, though you said you prefer not there, has a hidden gem called House of Blues.

No Beaches and Cream is at BC and needs an ADR, the soda shop is at the Dolphin and doesn't need an ADR.

Beaches and Cream is better. Soda Shop is okay. I like their milkshakes bc they use soft serve.

The soda fountain at the Dolphin is called Fountain.

Do you want a table service or quick service? The Mara at AKL would be fun, and you could look at animals while you're there. It's a fun afternoon.

This is a GREAT idea!! Thanks! I think we might do this!

I know you said you don't need to do DSp because you already have plans there, but there are SO many delicious spots!

You may also like somewhere in the Boardwalk area.

Check out the menu for Mara. It's my least fave CS place.

Definitely am considering in the Boardwalk area, because we don't currently have plans to go there that week, and we have never been there before.

We have had lunch at ESPN. If you are going in September I wouldn't recommend it for lunch on a Saturday. Due to football season you will have a wait. Capt. Grille in YC is a option .
