Best dining experiences.

[Hopefuldad]

So we're hoping to go next April. We were planning to go in 2020 and were staying on site with a dining plan. Planned all that out around our party and our days then obviously that didn't happen.
This time around circumstances have changed so our party is smaller and we are staying off site. Our budget is much more limited so we are planning on one nice sit down meal in one of the parks (not fussed which one) and a few quick meals too.
So if you could only pick one sit down meal, mid range cost, and a few quick meals, which would you pick?
For a little background info theres me (eats anything) my partner (would live on ice cream if able) and our two kids who also eat everything. All huge Marvel/star wars fans if theme is important
Thank you.

See more...

Personally i don't rate any of the dining options in MK.

There's certain snacks i like like cheeseburger spring rolls, Dole whip and can't beat an ice cream on main street.

But quick service wise i definitely think its the worst park for it.

Sit down meal:

I'd take the boat to Wilderness Lodge from the Magic Kingdom and go to Artist Point. My whole family loved that.

Quick meals:

Magic Kingdom: Columbia Harbor House
Epcot: Regal Eagle BBQ
Hollywood Studios: Docking Bay No 7 or Backlot Express
Animal Kingdom: Satu'li Canteen

For a TS meal we really enjoy Jungle Skippers Canteen in MK.

For QS
MK - Peco Bills - Mexican food but also has burgers and they have a large seating area
AK - Satuli Canteen - They do protein bowls (you can mix and match ingredients) and the cheeseburger pods are great too! They have a large undercover seating area.
Epcot - Boulangerie Patisserie des Halles - lots of delicious pastries and sandwiches served in baguettes with a limited indoor seating area.
HS - Woodys Lunchbox - breakfast and lunch sandwiches (we loved the grilled 3 cheese sandwich and also the brisket sandwich) there is some seating outside.

In the MK how about Casey’s if you like hot dogs? Only challenge is seating outside if you can find a spare table.

Can recommend Liberty tree tavern at Magic Kingdom , always enjoyed the food and service 👍

The only TS I always try to keep is Homecomin. But since you specified parks, I'd say The Plaza in MK. So nostaglic and very reasonably priced for a Disney TS.

QS...
MK - Caseys (again for nostalgia) or Columbia Harbour House
AK - Satuli Canteen
Epcot - Regal Eagle (haven't eaten there yet but it has great reviews)
HS - Woody's Lunch Box

Lots of options in Disney Springs too for non-park days.

One sit down for me is always California Grill brunch (it is the one ADR I always want to book). It's a signature though so rather pricey, but remains one of the nicest dining experiences I've had which is why I keep going back. It's also really close to MK, within easy walking distance.

Quick meals I rather like
MK: Columbia Harbor House is my usual go to for quick service in MK. Casey's is decent (corn dog nuggets!). I've always wanted to try to eat in Gaston's tavern but it's really deep inside MK and somehow I've never been hungry when I walk past so have yet to try it out.
Epcot: Les Halles in France
DHS: I don't recall being very impressed by any of the QS at DHS. I think I usually go to Starbucks in DHS...
AK: Satuli canteen in Pandora is excellent!

Since you mention you are Star Wars people - there are a couple of dining options inside Star Wars land at DHS. I've not personally tried them though so can't comment on what the food is like. Plenty of reviews online though!

Also ice cream/gelato wise, there is quite a decent gelato place in France at Epcot! And read on here the other day that Salt and Straw is opening at Disney Springs so that should be quite a good option if it is open when you are there. Ghirardelli at Disney Springs also does nice ice cream sundaes!
