am i alone, am i the only person who doesnt like the food in disney?
we went last year and stayed at the cbr and only ate in the parks.
what is it with the mashed potatoe and macaroni cheese everywhere. we expected it to be fast food but it wasnt very nice fast food. we are going back next year and staying at the por, we are planning to book crt, chef mickey,1900 park fare and hollywood and vine for the kids.
does anyone have any suggestions for places to eat within disney?
thanks

I agree...the food at Disney is the same everywhere...we always enjoy a nice salad at Colombia Harbour House however.....we also really like the Earl of Sandwich at DTD

I agree. The best food is at some of the food courts (I like Coronado Springs and Pop Century the best), as well as at Downtown Disney. I don't eat much in the parks themselves.

We love Chef Mickey's, Garden Grill, Crystal Palace. Also looking forward to Spoodles, O'Hana, Le Cellier, Coral Reef, Cape May Cafe. There are so many great places to eat in WDW

I disagree. I am not impressed with the fast food and the smell from the burger joints and places like Caseys Corner nearly make me ill. But, you know there are some great fast food CS eateries. Columbia Harbour House does a mixture of fast food and very good saandwiches and salads. Seasons in Epcot is huge and the counter service food is the best there is in WDW in my opinion. What about all the CS food counters in the World Showcase - great once again. Added to that there is EoS in DTD as well as Wolfgang Puck Express. Tusker House (alas poor Tusker House) served excellent CS food and from I hear so does Flame Tree BBQ. In MGM there is the Starring Rolls bakery and the Writers Stop - a great place for a coffee and muffin.
When I first went to Disney I felt exactly the same as you but that is because I wasnt fully aware of all the places to eatI dont now as apart from the great CS restaurants there is a fantastic array of TS restaurants.
No - Disney has a wide array of restaurants to suit everyone and I for one cant wait to go back for my next foodie holiday!
Can you tell me where it is you ate last time and what kind of food you like? Im sure you will discover a different side to Disney food on your next holiday. Have a look at the allears site and you will see all the restaurants listed as well as the menus. If you do that and then come back and ask for peoples opinions, Im sure they will be very glad to give them.:smile:
All I can say is that Disney is a gourmets paradise compared to the theme park offerings in the UK!

thanks everyone. when we went last year it was our first trip to disney, so with all the reviews and advice from this site we can try more places. my only problem is we have to eat within disney as dh is a taxi driver and doesnt want to drive on holiday and i dont drive. so if people can keep the recommendations and advice coming that would be great.
thanks kellie

What sort of food are you after? Are you travelling with children? menus from all WDW restaurants here (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/dining-menus.php) so that may help. Also use the review section for opinions from fellow dibbers - here (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/restaurantdisplay.php)
