    Default What is your absolute favorite meal in WDW?

    If you had to pick one restaurant for one meal while in WDW what would it be? There are tons and tons of fabulous restaurants in Walt Disney World but I am curious to know what meal is the absolute favorite for your family?

    Why?


    I will admit that the question is a tough one and I am having a hard time answering but if I had to pick one it would have to be. . . Crystal Palace for breakfast.

    I suppose it is my favorite because . . .
    • It is the first restaurant I can rember eating in with my family as a child.
    • I love the walk down Main street first thing in the morning when the park is virtually empty.
    • I love the food.
    • The restaurant has great atmosphere.

    Great question!

    Mine would be dinner at California Grill, specifically having the pork tenderloin entree I have always has a fantastic experience here. The food is fantastic and the views are just amazing, especially during sunset!

    Tough question. But, after thinking about it, for me it would have to be dinner at O'Hana. Since there is no real menu there, I would just say that it's everything that they serve! Wontons, the salad w/ Honey-Lime Dressing, the sweet and sour shrimp, Pork Sausage, Marinated Steak on skewers, the veggies, and of course, the Bananas Foster over Bread Pudding. Oooooooo.....

    My 9 yr old DD would say Liberty Tree Tavern. All you can eat comfort food.

    My 12 yr old DS would say O'Hana.

    My 4 yr old DD would say Princess Dinner at Akershus. She doesn't really care about the menu. All she does is eat the fruits and veggies off of the salad bar.

    My wife would say Whispering Canyon Cafe for dinner. Canyon Skillet. She loves that place.

    I would have to say the surf-n-turf at Narcoossee's with the almond crusted cheesecake for dessert.

    California Grill is the one I could go back to again and again. The food is phenomenal. The service is friendly and attentive. The setting can't be beat. I love hovering above the MK to watch the fireworks, and then watching the Electrical Water Pageant, too. It's breathtaking. My favorite place without a doubt. But Narcoossee's is a close second for me.

    That's an easy one. I like to go to Chef Mickey's for breakfast. My son (3) calls it his restaurant. We try to eat there are first full day before heading into MK for the day.

    Can't speak for my whole family, but personally it is Boma. Their salmon is just the best - and the soups are wonderful. This is not your "run of the mill" WDW buffet, there are always food items that are just a little different. Wish I was there right now!

    This is one of the easiest questions for me. Without a doubt....Ohana's. Its my family's favorite meal. If I asked anyone of my family members, including our extended family that we travel to WDW with occasionally they'd all answer with Ohana's. Its almost always the first meal of the trip.

    Not to sound too fancy-schmancy, but we ate at Victoria and Albert's at the Chef's Table for our 10 yr anniversary...and it was the best meal EVER in the whole wide world and we will never be able to top it. Unless we go back.

    I've had so many at WDW. The most recent that made me think I'd died & gone to heaven was at Narcoossee's. My mouth was wanting more, more, more!
    Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

    Ours is Chef Mickeys. Just the look on ds5's face was worth it. Oh and the Mickey waffles too.

    I *love* the tacos at El Pirata y el Perico. I've been there several times and it's so good.

    This is so difficult. So difficult in fact that really it would depend on whom I was with at the time. Under various groups I could easily say Crystal Palace breakfast (with anyone who has never been before), Biergarten Lunch (with mates), Whispering Canyon Lunch (with the younger members of my family), California Grill (with a special someone) or Le Cellier dinner (just with my folks). But on aggregate I would say....

    Tusker House for Lunch would be a contender.

    That said I've only been for luch once since the re-open so it's difficult to make that my final choice.

    So in the end I would say Kona Cafe for Dinner.

    I know Ohana is more spectacular but Kona has an emotional hold for me - and of course the food is wonderful.
    I've got a dirty thumb.

    Our favorite for breakfast is CP or 1900 Park Fair.

    Our all time best is the Cape May Buffet.

    This next trip, we're not making any other ADR's - just one of the two for breakfast, and dinner at CM. It involves too much time, too much planning, and too much $$. (It's getting to be a real racket).

    Mine was at the California Grill during Wishes. I started with the tuna sashimi and one of the better mixed Jack and Cokes I can remember. For the entree I had the filet mignon. I don't exactly remember the desert, but it was chocolate and amazing.

    Yep - Boma seems to me to be very consistent in taste and quality. We really like it too.
