Planning your Disney vacation with a budget in mind is a great way to make the most of your trip without breaking the bank. Dining is a huge part of any Disney vacation. Not only is Disney World a known destination for foodies, but food is also important fuel for you and your family during your trip. Days at Disney can be long and tiring, and taking a break for a meal is a very important aspect of anyone’s Disney day. Whether you choose to enjoy a table-service meal or a quick-service restaurant, here is what is worth trying when dining on a budget at Magic Kingdom.
Columbia Harbour House
Located in Liberty Square, this quick-service dining location is absolutely delicious. Serving food from both land and sea, guests love the value that they receive here at Columbia Harbour House. With the extensive indoor seating and second floor seating as well, guests find that Columbia Harbour House offers them both good food and a break from the elements. Our personal favorite dish here is the Lobster Roll which consists of delicious lobster tossed in mayo on a soft bun. The Hush Puppies are also a popular menu item that guests enjoy. If you have a pickier eater in your family; don’t worry! Colombia Harbour House serves chicken strips as well.
Crystal Palace
This sit-down restaurant brings Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet to your table while you dine on a buffet full of goodies. A must-do for any Winnie the Pooh fan, Crystal Palace serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests have adorable interactions with their favorite characters while enjoying a meal in a stunning dining room. Guests can expect carved prime rib, fried chicken, pasta, mac n’ cheese, mashed potatoes, and a plethora of desserts on the buffet line.
Liberty Tree Tavern
Located in Liberty Square, this all-you-care-to-enjoy meal served family-style will have you wanting to come back next time! Liberty Tree Tavern serves an all-American meal of sweet potatoes, roasted turkey, pot roast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and macaroni and cheese. For dessert, guests love the ooey gooey toffee cake. This restaurant is designed to feel like colonial America, and the menu is designed to feel like Thanksgiving! This restaurant is truly a must-do.
Pinocchio Village Haus
Located in Fantasyland, this quick-service dining location gives guests a unique view of the “it’s a small world” attraction while they dine. Pinocchio Village Haus serves pizza flatbreads, as well as salads and meatball subs. This restaurant is very kid-friendly and it’s location in Fantasyland makes it easy to get to. Guests who don’t like pizza can enjoy chicken strips, or chicken parmesan sandwiches. Don’t forget the breadsticks!
