Non park dining must do's?

[ml123_9]

We will be in the Orlando area this summer but likely won't be heading to a park. We want to spend some time on property though and I was just curious as to what everyone's favorite dining options are. It will be my wife and I, dd6 and ds10. Thanks everyone

For an old school Disney experience, try the Hoop Dee Doo Revue at Fort Wilderness. It's a fun, family-friendly, Western vaudeville dinner show. Corny jokes, familiar songs, and actually a really good fried chicken and ribs dinner. With an awesome strawberry shortcake dessert.

Disney Springs has a lot of great options to choose from and highly recommend Boathouse, Morimoto Asia and Homecoming.

My vote would be 'Ohana! YUM!

Morimoto Asia and Flying Fish Cafe have both become staples in our family.

My favorites are Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village. 'Ohana at the Polynesian although Kona Cafe is good too. I just prefer 'Ohana. And Homecoming at Disney Springs

Homecoming at Disney Springs, Boma at AK Lodge, Shula's at the Dolphin, Kona Café at the Poly for breakfast.

As far as quick service goes, probably not a MUST do, but the Landscape of Flavors at Art of Animation is EXCELLENT.

I second this.
Or
Whispering Canyon Cafe.

Both are a lot of fun for kids, and adults!

I second this. Bread service is to die for, and it's an interactive experience for the whole table. Get ALL the sauces/condiments. It's worth it. Try to get a savannah view table. It's hit or miss, but it definitely adds to the experience. Lastly, nothing there is bad. The food is adventurous and comforting at the same time. It's a singular experience.

Especially if you can time it for the fireworks show as well.

We also like Big River City Grill around 7:30ish as it's nice to walk around the Boardwalk and the catch a bit of Illuminations.

California grill & Ohana

 

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

Flying Fish for sure! I would even add Whispering Canyon to this list as well!

Homecoming at Disney Springs, Boma at AK Lodge, Shula's at the Dolphin, Kona Café at the Poly for breakfast.

Where or what is "Homecoming", I have never heard of it and couldn't find it on the Disney site?

Any opinions on Raglan Road at Disney Springs?

 

[LadyBelle]

I was there in September. The Fish and Chips I ordered were rather bland. My niece really enjoyed her steak. Dessert was pretty good and the atmosphere was awesome. They had a band and dancers who were fun.

I have celiac disease and they have a gluten free batter which is why we are considering it.

The Disney resorts have a lot of terrific restaurants. My favorite by far is the California Grill, up on top of the Contemporary Resort. Great food and service with a view over the Magic Kingdom that's ... well, magical!
