Walt Disney World Restaurant Recommendations

When it comes to choosing meals for table service (which you typically need reservations for) I narrow it down to restaurants that are either in the park I’m visiting that day, or in a nearby resort. Yes, you could leave and go anywhere, but transportation times make it more feasible this way. Geared toward families with kids, here is my list of surefire table service recommendations:
