Hungry? Don't worry, Walt Disney World is home to some of the worlds best dining adventures. No matter what your taste, Disney World has what you are looking for. Disney offers everything from dinner shows to character dining to sit-down meals and even fast food. Want to try foods from different countries? Well then head to EPCOT where you can find foods from around the world. Want McDonalds try one of two locations on property at the Walt Disney World Resort. On this page I will try to help you when trying to plan your meals with my favorite restraunts to best fast food stops.

My favorite breakfast is at the Kona Cafe $$-$$$ at the Polynesian Resort. I suggest getting the Tonga Toast (breakfast only 7:30am-11:30am). It is a huge piece of french toast with bannans(get it fried not baked). It is the best breakfast in the world. It is a must.

My favorite fast food restaurant is Casey's Corner $ on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom. This old-fashioned, baseball theamed, fast food stop (adjacent to Crystal Palace) features ballpark favorites-hot dogs in giant sizes, french fries, brownies, peanuts, soft drinks, and coffee. In the afternoon you can find a pianist playing on an upright.

In Japan, in Epcot you will find the Teppanyaki Dining Rooms $$$ (in the Mitsukoshi building). Even though its not a dinner show I consider it one. Like the popular Benihana chain of restaurants, guests sit around large flat grills while white-hatted chefs chop vegetables, meat, and fish at lighting speed and than stir-fry it all just as fast. This mildly comic routine is fun to watch, with great food. This is one restaurant I suggest you make reservations for (reservations can be made the day you dine at Guest Services near Innoventions).

For little girls, I suggest trying the Wonderland Tea Party $$$ at 1900 Park Fare in the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, with all the characters from Alice in Wonderland. Priority seating is required. The Wonderland Tea Party is offered on Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday only at 1:30pm.

My favorite by far is Bongos Cuban Cafe $$$ (Bongos Web Site) at Downtown Disney's West Side Created by Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio, Bongos Cuban Cafe features a restaurant in a tropical theme built around a 3-story pineapple icon. Try a true Cuban meal-black beans, rice, plantains, pork chunks, and for desert try some flan. Open Sunday through Thursday from 11:00am-11:30pm; and Friday and Saturday from 11:00am-12:30am.

For good, spicy food, try the House of Blues $$$ (House of Blues web site) at Downtown Disney's West Side (across from Disney Quest). Enjoy delicious Mississippi-Delta inspired cuisine as diverse as the artists who grace its stage.See live Blues performers Thursday-Saturday at 11:00pm. Top artists from rock to R&B in the music hall. The Gospel Brunch featured every Sunday, is a fun dining adventure. For tickets to concerts and Gospel Brunch priority seating is a must.
