Table Service Dining at Walt Disney World-it is one of our favorite parts of the vacation experience! There are so many unique and delicious options- here are our top picks!


Topolino's Terrace at Disney's Riviera Resort is home to our favorite character meal on property! It is so relaxing and is truly one of our happy places! The food is SO good. From the warm apple cinnamon muffins and chocolate chip muffins, croissants, amazing coffee and POG (pomegranate/orange/guava) juice, to the sour cream waffle and juicy steak, it is all so very good!


My 2nd pick is Liberty Tree Tavern in Magic Kingdom (Liberty Square). Why, you might ask? The dessert is the stuff of dreams! Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake-definitely need some right about now! The rest of the meal is delicious too-Thanksgiving food at its best! I will say this is a large meal so it might be best to eat before a break/rest back in the A/C at your resort hotel!


My 3rd pick is the Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa! The ambiance of this resort is so special and timeless. The food at the Grand Floridian Cafe is delectable! The citrus butter with the biscuits = amazing, the potato casserole with my breakfast meal was so good, and in seeing our birthday buttons they brought us little citrus cakes!


Now for Mike's top choices!


Tepan Edo in EPCOT (Japan pavilion) is a family favorite! Our youngest daughter, Brynna, particularly enjoys it here. It is really good hibachi and always a solid experience.


And then we have Steakhouse 71 at Disney's Contemporary Resort. This used to be The Wave, which we also loved. This is still a favorite place to visit! We definitely approve of the steaks, mac and cheese, and potatoes!  The atmosphere here is very nostalgic, with pictures of Walt and Lillian Disney from the 1970s. The restaurant is named for the year that Disney's Contemporary Resort first opened.


Mike's 3rd choice is Olivia's Cafe at Disney's Old Key West Resort- this is a place you will want to keep returning to for its chill vacation vibe and delicious comfort foods!
