Adult Dining at the Walt Disney World® Resort
by Chet McDoniel – Off to Neverland Travel®
While many people are aware of the multiple family and kid-friendly dining opportunities at the Walt Disney World® Resort, a lesser known fact is this: Disney has many wonderful opportunities for adult dining as well. Adult dining at the Walt Disney World® Resort can be just as magical as the kid-friendly variety. Many mouth-watering opportunities await, and while I can not go through each and every detail, I would like to list a few options that await you on your next Disney vacation:
- Citricos (pictured right) – Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa – Soak in relaxed sun-drenched southern European ambiance. Enjoy flavorful American fare inspired by the legendary cuisine of Provençe, Tuscany and the Spanish Riviera. The market-fresh Mediterranean cooking is fresh, light and simply stylish.
- California Grill – Disney’s Contemporary Resort – Venture into the vibrant and charged atmosphere and watch culinary masterpieces being created in the on-stage kitchen. This award-winning restaurant on the 15th floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort features spectacular views of Seven Seas Lagoon and the Magic Kingdom® Park. Tip – Be sure to make a reservation during the evening fireworks as you’ll be treated to a very unique and spectacular view.
- Yachtsman Steakhouse – Disney’s Yacht Club – Set sail for this ship-shape steakhouse for quality, aged, grain-fed USDA beef. Black Angus Beef is dry aged in our custom aging room from where you can personally select your own cut of meat. All meat, ranging from filet mignon, porterhouse, bourbon strip and Angus prime rib, is cooked over our oak fired grill, in our on-stage kitchen.
- Victoria and Albert’s – Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa – Indulge your discriminating culinary tastes at this elite, intimate and elegant eatery recognized by the nation’s top food critics. This very-special-occasion romantic Victorian retreat offers nightly harpists, lavish décor, personalized menus and a long-stem rose for each lady.
As I mentioned before, this is just a small sampling of all of the delectable delights for adults to sample when visiting the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, FL. Walt Disney World® adult dining is a feast for the senses, and promises to please each and every guest who visits.
