There are so many great Table Service restaurants at Disney World, and it’s important to pick the right ones for your trip so you know you’re spending your money and time wisely.
Here are WDW Prep’s top Table Service restaurants at Disney World to help you decide…
About Table Service dining
Table Service restaurants (particularly character meals) can be difficult to get dining reservations for. If you’re making dining reservations 180 days ahead of time right when they open up, you shouldn’t have any problem getting what you want. If you have less than 180 days, stay flexible with your plans as you make reservations.
If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, be sure to check out the best Table Service Disney Dining Plan values to make sure you’re maximizing your credits.
Here are the WDW Prep fave Table Service locations…

On the Disney Dining Plan? Yes, 1 Table Service credit(s)
WDW Prep Favorite: Yes
Pros: Food options to please most anybody (lots of meat options plus their much-beloved bread pudding for dessert), kids are included in activities during the meal (which mortifies my kids but outgoing kids find it fun)
Cons: Popular spot so reservations are hard to get, check in can take a long time so maybe even consider arriving early for your reservation
