Walt Disney World has hundreds of places to eat, but the number depends on what you’re counting. Disney’s official dining directory currently shows about 413 dining listings across the resort, including the theme parks, resort hotels, Disney Springs, and other locations.
Inside Disney World’s four theme parks, there are currently 167 dining listings. That includes table-service restaurants, quick-service counters, lounges, snack stands, and special dining experiences. Not every listing is a traditional restaurant, and some locations operate seasonally or may be temporarily unavailable.
This list covers restaurants and dining locations inside Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you’re deciding where to eat during a park day, it’s easier to compare the choices by park than to scroll through one enormous alphabetical list.
How many restaurants are at Disney World?
| Disney World theme park | Dining listings | What it’s best known for |
|---|---|---|
| Magic Kingdom | 39 | Character dining, themed restaurants, classic snacks |
| EPCOT | 68 | International restaurants and festival dining |
| Animal Kingdom | 29 | Distinctive quick-service food and themed restaurants |
| Hollywood Studios | 31 | Immersive dining and Star Wars-themed food |
| Total across four parks | 167 | Includes restaurants, lounges, snacks, and dining experiences |
These numbers come from Disney’s park-specific dining directories and can change as locations open, close, or become seasonal. The larger resort-wide count also includes locations outside the four theme parks.
For a quick comparison, here’s where I’d focus:
- Best overall variety: EPCOT.
- Best themed sit-down experiences: Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom.
- Best park for interesting quick-service meals: Animal Kingdom.
- Best for dining around the world: EPCOT’s World Showcase.
List of all the restaurants at Disney World by park
The lists below follow the locations Disney includes in its official dining directory. I’ve separated table-service meals from quick-service restaurants, snacks, and special experiences so you can find places that fit the kind of meal you want.
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom has some of Disney World’s most recognizable restaurants, especially for families looking for character dining or a memorable castle-themed meal. For everyday food, its strength is convenience: quick-service counters are spread throughout the lands, making it relatively easy to grab lunch without crossing the park.
Magic Kingdom table-service restaurants and lounges
- Be Our Guest Restaurant: A Beauty and the Beast-themed restaurant inside the Beast’s Castle, offering a more elaborate dining experience.
- The Beak and Barrel: A Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired tavern with drinks and small bites.
- Cinderella’s Royal Table: Princess dining inside Cinderella Castle.
- The Crystal Palace: Character dining with Winnie the Pooh and friends.
- The Diamond Horseshoe: A western-themed venue used for limited-time dining offerings.
- Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen: Adventureland table service with an adventurous menu and Jungle Cruise humor.
- Liberty Tree Tavern: American comfort food served in a Colonial-era setting.
- The Plaza Restaurant: A traditional restaurant near the end of Main Street, U.S.A.
- Tony’s Town Square Restaurant: Italian-American dining near the park entrance.
For an especially memorable setting, Be Our Guest and Cinderella’s Royal Table are the obvious choices. If you’re more interested in the food and atmosphere than meeting characters, I’d consider Skipper Canteen or Liberty Tree Tavern.
Magic Kingdom quick-service restaurants and snack locations
- Aloha Isle: A popular stop for DOLE Whip and other frozen treats.
- Astrofizz: A Tomorrowland refreshment location.
- Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies: Ice cream and specialty frozen drinks.
- Casey’s Corner: Hot dogs and American-style ballpark food on Main Street.
- Cheshire Café: A small Fantasyland snack counter.
- Columbia Harbour House: A quick-service restaurant with seafood and other American-style meals.
- Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café: A large Tomorrowland restaurant serving familiar quick-service meals.
- Energy Bytes: A quick-service snack kiosk.

- Storybook Treats: Fantasyland soft-serve and frozen desserts.
- Sunshine Tree Terrace: Adventureland frozen treats and refreshments.
- Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant: A venue whose dining availability varies.
- Tortuga Tavern: An Adventureland quick-service location with variable operations.
For a reliable quick-service lunch, Columbia Harbour House, Cosmic Ray’s, and Pecos Bill are worth checking. For something smaller, Sleepy Hollow and Casey’s Corner are two of the more recognizable Magic Kingdom food stops.
Magic Kingdom dessert parties and special dining
- Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace
- Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Dessert Party with Plaza Garden Viewing
- Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties: Post-Party
- Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties: Pre-Party
- Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties: Seats & Sweets
- Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace
- Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party with Plaza Garden Viewing
These experiences are separate from ordinary restaurant meals. Some are offered only during special-ticket events or on eligible nights, so check availability before including one in your plans.
For more on each location, see the complete Magic Kingdom restaurant guide.
EPCOT
EPCOT has the largest dining lineup of Disney World’s four theme parks. Its World Showcase restaurants are especially appealing if you want cuisines beyond standard American theme park food, and the festival marketplaces add more options during special events.
EPCOT table-service restaurants and lounges
- Akershus Royal Banquet Hall: Princess character dining in the Norway pavilion.
- Biergarten Restaurant: A German buffet with a festive dining-room atmosphere.
- Chefs de France: French restaurant dining in World Showcase.
- Coral Reef Restaurant: A seafood-focused restaurant with views of a large aquarium.
- Garden Grill Restaurant: Character dining in a slowly rotating restaurant overlooking scenes from Living with the Land.
- GEO-82: An adults-only lounge inside Spaceship Earth.
- La Cava del Tequila: A tequila-focused lounge in the Mexico pavilion.
- La Crêperie de Paris: French crêpes with table-service dining.
- La Hacienda de San Angel: A waterfront Mexican restaurant.
- Le Cellier Steakhouse: A Canadian steakhouse.
- Monsieur Paul: Fine French dining in the France pavilion.
- Nine Dragons Restaurant: Chinese table-service dining.
- Rose & Crown Dining Room: British pub-style meals in the United Kingdom pavilion.
- Rose & Crown Pub: A drinks-focused companion to the restaurant.
- San Angel Inn Restaurante: Mexican dining beside the indoor pyramid’s nighttime river setting.
- Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya: Japanese sushi and other traditional dishes.
- Space 220 Lounge: Drinks and lighter dining in the Space 220 setting.
- Space 220 Restaurant: A space-themed prix-fixe dining experience.
- Spice Road Table: Mediterranean-style dining near World Showcase Lagoon.
- Spice Road Table Bar: Drinks and smaller bites.
- Takumi-Tei: An upscale Japanese dining experience.
- Teppan Edo: Japanese teppanyaki dining.
- Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar: Italian wines and small plates.
- Tutto Italia Ristorante: Traditional Italian dining.
- Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria: Pizza and Italian food in the Italy pavilion.
EPCOT is the park where I’d be most likely to make dining a major part of the day. Le Cellier, Via Napoli, San Angel Inn, and the restaurants around World Showcase each offer very different settings.
EPCOT quick-service restaurants, bakeries, and snack stops
- Block & Hans
- Choza de Margarita
- Connections Café
- Connections Eatery
- Crêpes À Emporter by La Crêperie de Paris
- Fife & Drum Tavern
- Funnel Cake

- Refreshment Outpost
- Refreshment Station
- Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue
- Sommerfest
- Sunshine Seasons
- Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina
- UK Beer Cart
- Yorkshire County Fish Shop
For a quick meal in World Celebration, Connections Eatery is convenient. In World Showcase, I’d choose based on which cuisine sounds good and which pavilion you’re already exploring. Regal Eagle Smokehouse, Katsura Grill, and Yorkshire County Fish Shop offer very different alternatives to a traditional burger-and-fries lunch.
EPCOT festivals and special dining experiences
- EPCOT International Festival of the Arts: DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series Dining Packages
- EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays: Candlelight Processional Dining Package
- EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival: Garden Rocks Dining Packages

Festival marketplaces and dining packages may appear in Disney’s directory even when an event isn’t currently operating. Check the event dates and participating locations if you want to plan a meal around one.
Because EPCOT’s restaurant lineup is so extensive, the EPCOT restaurant list offers a closer look at the park’s individual dining locations.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom has fewer dining locations than EPCOT or Magic Kingdom, but I think some of its quick-service restaurants are more interesting than their counterparts elsewhere. You can find African-inspired meals, Asian dishes, barbecue, and Pandora-themed food without relying entirely on table-service reservations.
Animal Kingdom table-service restaurants and lounges
- Tiffins Restaurant: An upscale restaurant with globally inspired dishes and an exploration theme.
- Nomad Lounge: A nearby lounge serving cocktails and smaller plates.
- Rainforest Cafe at Disney’s Animal Kingdom: A themed restaurant located near the park entrance.
- Tusker House Restaurant: Character dining with African-inspired food in Harambe.
- Yak & Yeti Restaurant: Asian-inspired table-service dining in the Asia section.
- Pizzafari Family-Style Dining: A separate dining experience that Disney currently labels temporarily unavailable.
Tiffins would be my choice for a slower, more refined meal. Tusker House is worth considering if character dining is a priority, while Yak & Yeti is a good option for visitors looking for Asian-inspired dishes.
Animal Kingdom quick-service restaurants
- Creature Comforts: Starbucks coffee and bakery items.
- Flame Tree Barbecue: Barbecue meals in Discovery Island.
- Harambe Market: African-inspired quick-service food.
- Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery: Coffee, bakery items, and quick bites.
- Pizzafari: Casual quick-service dining.
- Satu’li Canteen: Pandora-themed meals, including customizable bowls and other distinctive dishes.
- Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes: A quick-service alternative to the nearby table-service restaurant.
Satu’li Canteen is one of the restaurants I’d prioritize at Animal Kingdom. Its setting and menu feel specific to Pandora. Flame Tree Barbecue is another strong option if you’d rather have a familiar, filling meal.
Animal Kingdom snack stands, bars, and refreshments
- Anandapur Ice Cream Truck
- Caravan Road
- Dawa Bar
- Drinkwallah
- Eight Spoon Café
- Harambe Fruit Market
- Isle of Java
- Mahindi
- Pongu Pongu
- The Smiling Crocodile
- Tamu Tamu Refreshments
- Terra Treats
- Thirsty River Bar
- Trek Snacks
- Warung Outpost
- Yak & Yeti Quality Beverages
Most of these are smaller stops rather than places for a full lunch. Pongu Pongu is particularly convenient while exploring Pandora, and Tamu Tamu Refreshments is a useful stop in the Africa section.
See the full Animal Kingdom restaurant guide for more on where the dining locations are and what to expect.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios stands out for immersive restaurants. You can eat in a simulated drive-in theater, visit a 1950s-style family kitchen, or get food inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The tradeoff is that some of the most interesting locations are popular enough to require advance planning.
Hollywood Studios table-service restaurants and lounges
- 50’s Prime Time Café: Comfort food in a retro family-kitchen setting.
- Hollywood & Vine: Character dining and buffet meals.
- The Hollywood Brown Derby: An upscale restaurant inspired by classic Hollywood dining.
- The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge: Drinks and lighter dining associated with the restaurant.
- Oga’s Cantina at the Walt Disney World Resort: A Star Wars-themed cantina focused on specialty beverages.
- Roundup Rodeo BBQ: Toy Story-themed barbecue in Toy Story Land.
- Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant: Meals served in car-shaped booths facing a simulated drive-in movie screen.
- BaseLine Tap House: Beer and small bites in the Grand Avenue area.
- Tune-In Lounge: A retro lounge connected to the 50’s Prime Time Café setting.
For atmosphere, I’d look at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater or 50’s Prime Time Café. The Hollywood Brown Derby is a better fit when you want a more traditional upscale restaurant, while Roundup Rodeo BBQ is a natural choice for Toy Story fans.
Oga’s Cantina is a different kind of experience. It’s primarily about the Star Wars setting and drinks, so I wouldn’t treat it as a substitute for a proper lunch or dinner.
Hollywood Studios quick-service restaurants
- ABC Commissary
- Backlot Express
- Catalina Eddie’s
- Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo
- Dockside Diner
- Fairfax Fare
- Ronto Roasters
- Rosie’s All-American Café
- Sunshine Day Bar
- The Trolley Car Café
- Woody’s Lunch Box
Docking Bay 7 is one of the more interesting choices if you’re already exploring Galaxy’s Edge. Ronto Roasters is good when you want something quicker and more portable, while Woody’s Lunch Box is convenient during a visit to Toy Story Land.
Hollywood Studios snacks, bakeries, and specialty food
- Anaheim Produce
- Epic Eats
- FØØD by Swedish Chef
- Hollywood Scoops
- Ice Cold Hydraulics
- Kat Saka’s Kettle
- Market
- Milk Stand
- Neighborhood Bakery
Milk Stand and Kat Saka’s Kettle are especially relevant if you’re exploring Galaxy’s Edge and want a themed snack rather than a full meal.
Hollywood Studios special dining experiences
- Fantasmic! Dining Packages: Dining packages associated with reserved viewing for Fantasmic!, subject to availability.
- Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby: A seasonal dining experience.
For more details, use the Hollywood Studios restaurant list.
What about Disney Springs and Disney World resort restaurants?
The 167 dining listings above are for the four Disney World theme parks. They don’t include the many restaurants at Disney Springs, Disney resort hotels, Disney’s BoardWalk, or other resort locations.
That’s why the overall Walt Disney World dining directory shows substantially more locations than the four-park total. If you’re staying at Disney World for several days, it’s worth considering a restaurant outside the parks for at least one meal.
You can browse those additional options in our Disney Springs restaurant list or use Disney’s official resort-wide dining directory to filter hotels and other locations.
Which Disney World park has the best restaurants?
If I were choosing a park mainly for food, EPCOT would be first. The variety around World Showcase makes it easier to find something genuinely different, whether that’s a sit-down meal in Japan, Italian pizza, French pastries, or a snack from one of the seasonal festival booths.
Animal Kingdom would be my next choice, particularly for quick-service dining. Satu’li Canteen and Flame Tree Barbecue offer more character than a lot of standard park food.
Hollywood Studios is strongest when you’re interested in a specific themed dining experience, such as Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, 50’s Prime Time Café, or one of the Galaxy’s Edge locations.
Magic Kingdom has the nostalgia and classic character-dining experiences, but I wouldn’t choose it over EPCOT just for its overall restaurant variety.
Tips for planning meals at Disney World
- Reserve popular table-service restaurants ahead of time. Check availability for places such as Cinderella’s Royal Table, Be Our Guest, and Space 220 as early as your booking window permits.
- Use mobile ordering for quick-service meals. Many Disney World restaurants allow orders through the My Disney Experience app, though participation and pickup times vary.
- Check menus before committing. Disney changes menus, operating hours, and seasonal offerings, especially at smaller counters and festival locations.
- Don’t confuse a lounge with a restaurant. Locations such as Oga’s Cantina, GEO-82, and several wine or cocktail bars may be better for drinks than a complete meal.
- Plan around where you’ll be in the park. Crossing EPCOT or Magic Kingdom solely for a quick lunch can take more time than you expect.
The simplest approach is to choose one main meal for each park day and leave room for snacks or spontaneous stops. If you have a reservation at a destination restaurant, build the rest of your plans around that meal rather than trying to squeeze it between attractions on opposite sides of the park.
Disney’s dining counts, menus, and availability change, so confirm specific locations in the official Walt Disney World dining directory before your trip.
