Recently, Disney restaurant menus appeared on the internet. Not all of them, but some. These are full copies of the menus. Dad has gathered all of the available menus into one place so you can have easy access to much needed information. Grab a bib and check it out.
Resort (hotel) Restaurants
The Disney World hotels host some of the best Disney World restaurants in all of Disney World. Victoria and Albert's is one of the highest rated restaurants in Florida. Some of the most popular restaurants in Disney World are in the hotels, like 'Ohana and Chef Mickey's.
It can be difficult to get to the hotels for a meal, but it's an experience that shouldn't be missed.

Disney's Hollywood Studios is home to some of the most uniquely themed Disney World Restaurants. Here you'll find a drive in movie restaurant and a pizza restaurant complete with a large arcade. Check them out.
- Hollywood Brown Derby - take a trip back in time to a more elegant age when movie stars roamed Hollywood Boulevard and the Cobb Salad was a thing of legend.

- Sci Fi Dine In - jump in a 6 seater and watch old time Sci Fi movies under the stars.
Animal Kingdom
There is not a lot of variety, or selection in the Animal Kingdom restaurants. The park closes at 5:00 on most days, so dinner isn't really an option. Check out what's available.

- Yak and Yeti - Chinese food in the shadow of Expedition Everest
- Rainforest Cafe - Dine in a tropical rain forest

Signature Restaurants

A few years ago, Disney started what they call Signature Dining. These restaurants are the top of the line restaurants at Walt Disney World. There are Signature Dining restaurants located in the hotels, some are in the parks. For example, Victoria and Albert's in the Grand Floridian and Le Cellier in Epcot are Signature Dining Restaurants.
A Signature Restaurant will have a menu that is usually tailored to fresh ingredients. It also has a dress code (usually) and outstanding service. Outstanding service means that meals tend to be slower paced and not rushed. Signature Dining Restaurants also smaller restaurants that have limited seating so Advanced Dining Reservations are a must.
These restaurants typically "cost" 2 table service credits on the Disney Dining Plan.
Disney World Dining Plans
The Disney Dining Plans will allow you to prepay your meals at one of the Disney World Restaurants. Check out Dad's Dining Plan pages for more information.
- Disney Dining Plans - Dad's Guide to the dining plans. Check out all the dining plans that Disney offers for Disney World Restaurants.
- Disney Dining Plan Calculator - Disney say's you'll save 20-40%. Dad's not so sure, that's why he developed a calculator to help you compare what you will spend with the price of the dining plan.
Disney World Character Dining
Some of the most popular meals at Disney World include Character Dining. Want to eat a meal with Donald Duck? Go to the Tusker House at Animal Kingdom for breakfast and enjoy a Safari Breakfast with Donald and friends. It's just one of the great character meals Disney offers.

Dad's Bottom Line
Each of the Walt Disney World Restaurants has a unique theme. Some just have to be experienced. Character meals have become really big and must be reserved early. Make sure to get together as a family and decide which of the Disney restaurants you want to try out.
