I love theme parks. I have to, I live in Orlando, otherwise known as Theme Park Central. That’s why I know that, when you come to visit all the parks, you don’t have to restrict your dining to vending cart hot dogs. From something fast to gourmet dining, your options are varied and delicious.
When you’re at the Magic Kingdom and need a break, stop by Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland. Their homestyle menu is varied, and has some nice kosher options. I always get the chicken, served with perfect mashed potatoes.
There’s also Liberty Tree Tavern, in Liberty Square. Their pot roast and turkey plates are tasty, and the Butter Griddled Pound Cake is the best dessert in the entire Kingdom. On Main Street, make sure to try Tony’s Town Square. Sit down, relax, and definitely try the baked ziti.
The Hollywood Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios is lovely, and has a wide range of American cuisine. If Italian is the order of the day, stop by Mama Melrose’s Ristorante. And if comfort food with a side of 1950’s innocence is more your thing, don’t miss the 50’s Prime Time Cafe.
In the Animal Kingdom, the Rainforest Cafe is an unforgettable experience. They have recreated a rainforest, with a waterfall, and animatronic animals like only Disney can make. If you want to avoid waiting for a table, go in and have breakfast one morning. The American cuisine is a bit pricey for what it is, but small children will shine when the thunderstorm starts, and all the animals come to life.
You can find vegetarian fare at the Tusker House buffet, and even the carnivores will enjoy the spiced tofu. Epcot has wonderful restaurants representing food around the world. They are wildly popular, and can get very busy, so be sure to call ahead to see if you need reservations. Le Cellier in Canada serves a steak that is a must-taste, but my favorite is Yorkshire County Fish Shop. It is busy, and hard to find a seat, but even standing, the fish and chips are the highlight of the park.
