When planning a Disney vacation it’s important to know which restaurants to include in your itinerary. While there are plenty of options for fun dining and culinary adventures at The Most Magical Place on Earth they vary in menus crowds and overall experience. Disney World is home to four parks including the Magic Kingdom EPCOT Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. In addition to EPCOT’s global beverage offerings there are also numerous resorts and Disney Springs a Disney-affiliated dining and shopping destination located outside of the park.

10 Restaurants You Should Avoid in Disney World
Long lines and expensive menus were two common complaints from frustrated customers. A trip to Disney is expensive starting with the tickets; add in meals that cost up to $100 per person and your vacation budget will be gone in a matter of days. Finding great restaurant experiences with budget-friendly options is a great way to keep costs manageable. Some of the best spots in the parks were a little off the beaten path or didn’t offer iconic views of picture-perfect Disney castles but instead focused on fantastic food and ambiance. Disney makes sure every spot is magical so even if you don’t end up right next to Mickey you can be sure your meal will be one you’ll remember.
Located right next to the Jungle Cruise ride in the Adventureland section of Magic Kingdom this fun themed restaurant serves African-Asian and Latin American food with a special Disney flair that will make you think you just stepped off a Nile cruise. There are three dining options including the Dining Room the Jungle Room (decorated like an explorers’ lounge) and the SEA Room the gathering place for the Society of Explorers and Adventurers. It even earned a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best award in 2023 after rave reviews from customers.
Since it doesn’t offer character dining experiences the restaurant is a little less crowded than other restaurants in the park. However you can still experience the magic of Disney because it really leans heavily into the jungle adventure theme. The servers are called “skippers” and they guide you through your lunch or dinner by cracking jokes and telling you stories as if you were on a real cruise down a jungle river. From the eclectic decor to the hilarious servers there’s a lot of humor in this restaurant.
