Dining by Location

When choosing a restaurant it is important to take into consideration which theme park you will be playing in. If you are standing in the Magic Kingdom when your realize your lunch reservation is in Epcot, it will take about a pound of Pixie Dust and a good hour or more to make your way there.

So the question is, do you play where you eat, or eat where you play. The answer may not seem  important now, but prior planning will not only save you time but make your whole experience more enjoyable

Below we have lined up our picks for the best dining according to location.
