Magic Kingdom Dining

imagesNo matter where you are in the Magic Kingdom, you are sure to find dining options to satisfy your cravings. Whether you are looking for snacks, quick service dining, table service or character dining, the Magic Kingdom dining options are abundant and downright delicious.

The dining imagesvenues are broken down by experience to make your choices a little easier and have included menus for each experience and dining options within the park. We are huge foodies in our family and with so many visits under my belt, I personally have dined at almost every place within the parks – my family hasn’t been as many times as I have so they are still finding new favorites. There is always cinderella-royal-table-gallery11the exception of the “new” restaurants and then there are some places we are partial to and have to have every time we are there…think Dole Whip.

Keep in mind that if you are choosing table service or character dining, you are able to make your reservations 180 days in advance.  I highly recommend it for some of the more popular restaurants and character dining, especially during peak seasons.
