Jaleo, the new Disney Springs restaurant developed by renowned chef José Andrés, serves as an indication of what is up next for dining at Walt Disney World® Resort.  In a sea of plentiful and fantastic dining choices, Jaleo fills the one spot that eating at the resort fills most: fine dining. Rather than giving bountiful plates piled high with mountains of food, Jaleo is more of an eating experience, where guests order small plates perfect for sharing a few between two. The s

For many guests, dining is an enormous part of the Walt Disney World® vacation experience, but like many vacations, putting an emphasis on eating can run up the bill.

Disney Springs has evolved far from its days as Downtown Disney and is now a marquee destination for guests. There’s a lot to do and see now, so much so that it could warrant multiple visits over the course of a vacation.

Among the many shops and activities of Disney Springs are loads of restaurants and dining locations. It’s almo

Most guests familiar with Disney dining even in the slightest know about the big-name restaurants in the most popular areas on property, but there are some gems spread farther out from the epicenter of activity that are worth taking the extra trip just to check out.

Guests don’t have to have park tickets or be staying at a Walt Disney World Resort® hotel to dine at any of these restaurants. Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground Fort Wilderness might seem like an odd pick for a place to eat considering it’s nothing but campgrou

One of your worst nightmares has come true: you missed out on booking dining 180 days in advance and are now stuck without any good table service restaurants to eat at during your vacation. Fortunately, it’s not that bad!
