Garden Grill Restaurant

Character dining is a great way to keep children engaged during a meal, and it also allows you to guarantee interactions with your favorite characters without waiting in line. Garden Grill Restaurant is located within The Land pavilion and features a rotating restaurant that gives you glimpses into attraction, Living with the Land. Garden Grill serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a meal served family-style, and all-you-care-to-enjoy. Farmer Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale all make their way around the restaurant to greet guests. Because of the small size of the restaurant these characters typically come around more than once! This experience is currently priced at $62 per adult and $40 per child for dinner, and serves delicious favorites like cornbread, roasted turkey, mac n’ cheese, and more.

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

Another character dining experience lies within the Norway pavilion at World Showcase. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while Disney princesses meet you and greet you. The buffet meal is Norwegian-inspired and includes dishes like grilled salmon, lefse, and traditional Norwegian meatballs. This experience is currently priced at $67 per adult and $43 per child for dinner.

Sunshine Seasons

If you are in need of a quick meal, Sunshine Seasons in The Land pavilion might be to your liking. This food-court style quick-service restaurant has something for everyone, including the little picky eater in your family. Much of the food here is harvested in the onsite greenhouse as seen in Living With The Land, so it is incredibly fresh and delicious. Guests can dine on favorites like stir-fried shrimp, pepperoni pizza rolls, and Mediterranean sandwiches.

Space 220

If your kids require more entertainment while they dine then check out Space 220. This sit-down restaurant is more than just dining, it’s an entire experience. Guests enter the restaurant by boarding an “elevator to space” which takes them 220 miles above the earth. The dining room is adorned with “windows” that glance out at space and at the earth below. The views as seen in Space 220 are interactive with the current weather in real life! Guests will enjoy a variety of space-inspired food like Space Pad Thai and Rocket Flame Seared Tuna.

Regal Eagle Smokehouse

If you find yourself halfway through World Showcase with hungry children then head over to the America pavilion and dine-in at Regal Eagle Smokehouse. This quick-service restaurant is perfect for children because of its simple but delicious menu. Kids can choose from cheeseburgers or chicken tenders, and adults will love the burgers and smoked BBQ meats. Regal Eagle Smokehouse is also located inside and air-conditioned unlike several other World Showcase quick-service restaurants.
