When visiting Disney you have to keep up your energy right? Watching parades, shows and, riding the rides, takes energy! To do so, Disney has amazing restaurants! Start your day off with a hardy safari breakfast at Animal Kingdom’s Tusker House. Safari Donald Duck and his friends quack you up at the wildest character breakfast! The breakfast includes traditional American fare, plus unique dishes with flavorful African influences. With a menu that includes fresh dishes like Mickey waffles, beef Bobotie to Ham and Cheese Frittata. Great way to get you fueled for the day!
Looking to satisfy your sweet tooth while at the Disney parks? All Disney parks offer amazing desserts! They look like pieces of artwork, you kind of hate to eat them because they are so pretty but once you take your first bite there is no turning back, hmmm so amazingly delicious!
For a nice authentic Italian meal Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano at Hollywood Studio’s offers just that! We started with appealing appetizers like; Fresh Mozzarella and Vine-ripened Tomatoes, Seared Fennel-Crusted Tuna or Crispy Calamari. For dinner my tween sunk his teeth into a Flatbread Pizza while I savored the Penne Pasta with chicken. You cannot leave without trying the amazing desserts! The Dessert Sampler has a little bit of everything from miniature versions of Mama’s favorite Desserts: Amarettini Cheesecake, Tiramisu, and Cannoli Cake! Trust me you will leave feeling completely satisfied!
A quick tip though, since all of these restaurants are so popular I recommend calling and making a reservations. Check out Disney’s dining menu, they have so many places to chose from! Whether they are character restaurants, sit down restaurants, or just a quick bite and then head back to the attractions. What dining experiences have you had at Disney World?
We’ve done the Tusker House a few times. It is pretty good for breakfast, but I am dying to try lunch there one day.
Looks like you guys had so much fun!
We really enjoyed the dining in Disneyland.
Can’t wait to taste what Disney world has to offer!
Heather, Be sure to look at their dining menu, it is quite extensive!
Disney really does have the best dining choices! They are amazing with food allergies as well!
Great food indeed! I agree – make reservations as soon as you know you are traveling to Disney!! Seats fill up fast in these restaurants.
Oh yes, I make my dining reservations MONTHS in advance. It’s so important.
They have some really amazing restaurants at Disney. I think I would have trouble deciding exactly where I wanted to eat if I was on vacation there.
It’s not weird I am now really hungry right? I have never been to the Tusker House before but it looks amazing. Of course Disney always has fun food.
We love every place we have eaten at Disney. They have the best food!
I would like to try every single one of these! They all look amazing!
Tusker house rocks big time. We love our disney dining.
I have had my fair share of Disney Dining experiences let me tell you! I think just eating there is an experience in itself. Disney always makes the extra effort to ensure a good time.
I like dessert samplers because they’re not too big but you get to try more than one. I have had some really good meals at Disney.
I can’t stop thinking about dessert samplers now! I love a taste of everything!
Great tips – i can’t wait to get to disney soon.
“Those Desserts though ” .. It has to be good if its Disney . The Pictures are great too
I love all your pictures. I need to go to disney and bring my kids
I’ve never been there but the food looks incredible! Definitely going on my list of places to try!
I think I am the only person on the planet who has never been to Disney world.
I do love the look of those cupcakes.
Tusker House was one of our favorites, you can’t beat Disney’s buffet options! The best thing about dining at Disney, though, is how great they are about accommodating people with special dietary needs. Both my son and father in law have sensitivities/allergies and I never have to worry about a reaction at Disney because they can tell you exactly what is in every dish.
Melissa, they think of everything don’t they!?
Disney knows how to do it at their restaurants, great family photos!
That looks amazing! Leave it to Disney to make dinner an experience as well. Very cool!
This looks so yummy!! I JUST had our dining reservations for different places put in this morning. We decided against Tusker House since we were doing Chef Mickey one day (same characters). Maybe we should rethink that!
I have never had the chance to go to Disney, But if I do I will totally keep your suggestions in mind.
All the food looks really good. I have never had a bad meal at Disney. I can’t wait to go back.
Disney has so many amazing dining options. I can never pick where I want to eat there because there are too many choices.
I LOVE all things Disney! I have pinned this to my Disney board!
Oh fun! The food looks great and I love that aesthetic. I have to go here!
These pictures look awesome. I have heard so much about Tusker house but sadly, only after we returned from our trip.
Wow how cool! I didn’t realize Disney had more than rides and characters dress duo. I know, I know. But this is awesome. I’ve never ever been!
I am learning a lot about Disney because we want to go in the next few years, and your posts are so awesome! I know that if you’re not careful, the food can be more expensive than the stay!
Wow! I had no idea there was so much for a foodie to enjoy on a trip to Disney! I am dying to go with my family….Maybe one day!
I love Disney a lot and from what I experienced the food has been pretty awesome; I love dinning there!
All of these foods look delicious! I would love to have any of these dishes, especially those sweets.
I love good food. I know that some people avoid eating at parks, but personally, this is a highlight for me. The food looks so amazing.
It looks like Disney could have everything you could ever want!
You know, I have heard great things about Disney dining…. Ha! Just the other day a girlfriend was recommending it
The array of choices there is staggering, but when there are that many people to feed from that many places, I guess you need a lot of choices!
I have not had the opportunity to visit any of these locations, but I know I’ll be checking out Mama Melrose’s next time I go.
The food at Disney is always amazing!!! I can’t wait till we go back again the dessert is always the best part!
I’ve never been to Disney world, but I’m hoping to in the near future. I had no idea there were do many dining options!
We went on the Disney Wonder and the food was amazing! More choices than you could imagine and so good!
I have never been to Disney, but we hope to go soon. This looks like so much fun! 😀
I’ve never been blessed by going to Disney, though someday I hope to. Looks like there’s a lot of good food to be had…I see the scale dial rising the day I make it there!
I love the Tusker House. I’m glad to see someone else agrees!
Such a wide variety of foods to choose from! Italian is one of our favorites so I’m glad to see the authentic restaurant in your post. Can’t wait to go back.
We ate at the Tusker House and really liked it! I was surprised considering the cuisine it offered, but it was great. Our top favorite of all time is Mama Melrose’s though. The food was really good and we had the absolute best service anywhere we’ve ever been!
No one does it like Disney. And that includes food for kids.
The food looks amazing and I love the smile on his face. IT says it all
We love eating at Disney. One of my favorite place is the Columbia Harbor House in Liberty Square in MK.
Sounds like you guys had so much of fun! All these foods looks very delicious as well. Disney always have the best dining choices. I have never been to Tusker House before, but it sounds amazing. Will have to look in to this next time.
Disney is AMAZING! They care so much about their consumer and it really shows. As a food allergy mom I know we will be taken care of when we go!
Oh this is a great tip! We love taking our children to Disneyland and I’ve noticed over the past few years how good the food is really becoming.
Wow! Looks like you and your family had a good time! I live the eateries in the Disney parks. However, I do find their food a bit over priced. But that is the caveat of theme parks.
I loved all the options at Tusker house. Such a yummy breakfast. Can’t complain about the amazing cupcakes either!
That sounds so amazing. Can’t wait to go there one day.
Disney food is awesome! We loved the Blue Bayou in Disneyland’s Pirates of the Carribean Ride. The surf and turf was too die for
the food is one of the highlights of Disney for us. but it has changed so much in the last 5 years…not always able to figure out where you’re going to be on what day, 180 days in advance.
