Walt Disney World Buffets

Buffet meals are some of the most popular dining choices at Walt Disney World. For one price you are offered an all-you-can-eat bountiful feast. There are usually various numbers of food stations. The majority of the restaurant buffets have separate children's tables, offering some standby favorites such as macaroni and cheese, mini hot dogs, pizza rolls etc. You can always find something for everyone's liking at a Disney buffet.

The prices average around $18 for breakfast and $28+ for dinner, with children 9 & under being about half price.
