Now that dining plans are back at Walt Disney World, it’s time to start planning all the tasted meals you’re going to use those dining credits on in 2024! We’re kicking off a summer of Disney Dining this week with a look at some of our favorite under rated quick service and table service restaurants around Walt Disney World, as well as the spots we think are totally over rated, and not worth spending your precious meal credits on.  We also want to share with you a couple new/newly updated spots that we really think you should check out next time you visit Walt Disney World. 

Topics of discussion include:

• Should we give Be Our Guest another chance?


• Magic Kingdom dining could use some help.


• Always eat at the Jungle Navigation Co. Skipper Canteen!


• EPCOT is dining heaven, at least as long as you stay in World Showcase.


• Hollywood Studios doesn’t seem like it has a lot of great dining, but we actually had a long list of spots we like there. 


• Animal Kingdom has tons of hidden gems, especially if you like Asian food or barbecue. 


• Disney Springs has too many options to count, but a ton of them are great! Don’t pass on House of Blues, and check out the takeout window versions of some of the nicer table service locations. 


• We didn’t have enough time to dig into the dining options at the resort hotels, but Heather and Jeff recently tried a few new/updated spots they wanted to recommend. The updated menu at Narcoosee’s at the Grand Floridian has elevated the restaurant from “meh” to “must try”! Rosa Mexicana at the Dolphin is elevated Mexican food that is more than worth the trip to sample. Amare at the new Swan Reserve tower is a fantastic spot for some fine Mediterranean style dining. 


• We have a long list of places we still need to eat at! Keep an eye out for more culinary adventures this summer.
