Looking for that 'just right' restaurant experience? Ask here! Tell us what kind of group you have, what meal you are looking for, and where you will be in WDW.

FYI on the "Breakfastosaurus" at AK. It is no longer, but was basically moved to Tusker House as Donald's Safari Breakfast.

On our last trip we really enjoyed Nine Dragons in Epcot. The food was great and there was 7 of us, but seating us was not a problem. The service was great. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Hi Everyone! My family will be going to WDW the first part of January. We have a group of 5 adults (one who is in a wheelchair), and a 4 year old princess. Any suggestions on budget friendly meal options? We are staying at the POP Century, so we will probably have breakfast there.

There are tons. Let's start with one per park from me, and I encourage others to recommend some:
Magic Kingdom: Stick to Counter Service dining
Epcot: Biergarten is a very reasonably priced buffet. Go at dinner vs. lunch for a better atmosphere!
Hollywood Studios: I think that the 50's Prime Time is worth the price
Animal Kingdom: Flame Tree BBQ. Counter service prices for what is better than some table service food!

Did you know that there are websites that show restaurant menus, with prices? Try AllEars.Net.

I'd splurge on a character breakfast. The one we liked best was Play and Dine at Hollywood and Vine at Disney Hollywood Studios. The atmosphere is fun and friendly, especially if you have pre-schoolers. Plus the food was very good.

  Some of my recommendations are: Cape May Cafe (in The Beach Club) - All you can eat Clam Bake every night! Narcoossee's (at the Grand Floridian) - pricey, but very impressive food & a view of the fireworks at Magic Kingdom if you plan it just right Yachtsman Steakhouse (in the Yacht Club) Artist Point in Wilderness Lodge Californian Grill (at the top of the Contemporary) - we try to arrive a bit before the MK fireworks for drinks outside while waiting for a table (even with priority seating). The food is fresh and fantastic. Tusker House Restaurant in the Animal Kingdom is awesome. Fast food salmon?! You can't go wrong. Also in Animal Kingdom, I like Donald's "Breakfastosauras" character breakfast. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto join Donald so the entire Fab 5 are available for photo ops (and the food is yummy). For fun in Disney-MGM, the SciFi Dine In Restaurant and 50's Prime Time Cafe Epcot is full of terrific restaurants, but one of our favorite things is snack time at the Rose & Crown Pub. We order a fruit and cheese tray and a couple cold adult beverages and relax our tired feet. A Magic Kingdom favorite is Tony's!

All of these are great exp 50's Prime Time in DHS! It's one of our favorites (the food reminds us of sunday dinners at grandma's house) and DH and I eat there almost every trip :-)

Have to agree. 50's Prime Time is a top-5 experience for our family as well!

I had heard really good things about the 50's Prime Time Cafe. I don't know if our waitress wasn't feeling well or what, but we really didn't think it was as good as we had heard. The food was good though.

We ate lunch at the restaurant in France at Epcot. I think it's called Chefs of Paris. The food was decent, but if you really know French food it can be a bit disappointing. The quiche was ok, but we had a "Southwestern" crepe that was inedible. The salad Nicoise was tasty though. I would probably not go back.
