Disney: Places to Eat

"You absolutely need to make dinner reservations for Disney Dining. When are you going? Do you have the disney dining plan?

We made our reservations for our Sept. 2007 trip in April. Then we called and made all of our meal reservations in June and we were shut out of almost everywhere we wanted to eat ..... except for eating dinner at 4:30pm or 9:30 pm. Not really an option with a 5 and 2 year old. We have the disney dining plan so we made all of our reservations in advance. If you don't you can call the day of or day before and the dining line will tell you what's available, but it may not fit the park you are in, or the time you want to eat. Otherwise, you may have to wait over an hour to get a table.

Many of the counter-service locations are pretty good. And you can eat "on the run" every day. But, you're going to want to sit down sometime.
It's not that they are really nice restaurants for "sit down" meals, but they are seated and you are waited on. There's only a handful of "nice" dress up restaurants at Disney.

Wilderness lodge has some great restaurants on site......Artists Point is a "nice" restaurant, we went 2 years ago and brought our then, 3 ½ year old. He sat and colored and that was fine."
