The best Magic Kingdom dining depends on what you want from the meal: a whimsical character breakfast, something fun that will entertain the kids, or an upscale dinner with a fireworks view. Our top recommendations below cover all three, either inside the park or just outside it.
The choices below represent our top recommendations for those looking for a convenient meal while visiting the Magic Kingdom. That said, the list certainly is not exhaustive so if you don’t see exactly what you are looking for you can click here for a full list or, better yet, reach out to your Mouse Counselor for some guidance!

Unique Dining Experiences
If character experiences aren’t on your agenda, there’s still plenty of fun to be had dining at Disney. These spots are particularly good if you have children of different ages in your party. The younger kids will be having a great time, even if their older siblings are “too cool” for characters. We have focused on restaurants that have entertainment and shows, spots that have entertaining waitstaff and themes, and places that have great kid-friendly (and interesting!) “views.”
