Magic Kingdom Dining Guide- Best Restaurants, Snacks, Quick Options

Magic Kingdom park opened in 1971 and is Walt Disney World's flagship park. Millions of guests flock to the Magic Kingdom each year to experience the nostalgia, Imagineering, and magic the park brings to each of it's guests! Magic Kingdom spans over 107 acres and divided into six “lands” known as Main Street, Adventureland, Liberty Square, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland. Disney is also set to expand Magic Kingdom beyond Big Thunder Mountain in Frontierland! There are a lot of exciting things to do and see on any trip to this iconic park.

Besides Magic Kingdom's amazing attractions, fireworks, parades, and shows, we also love visiting Magic Kingdom for its many restaurants! There are so many options when it comes to dining at Magic Kingdom including character dining, quick service, buffet, and fine dining. However, it can be overwhelming to decide which restaurants or eateries to enjoy. 

We visit the Disney World theme parks monthly and are always trying to the new and delicious food throughout Magic Kingdom. This nostalgic park has some great dining options! This is our ultimate Magic Kingdom dining guide where we will list every food option throughout the park, including our personal reviews and recommendations on the best dining options!

You can also see our ranking of the overall best Disney World restaurants for details on the best dining options throughout the resort. 

Magic Kingdom – Table Service Dining

Magic Kingdom has several great table service restaurants for all occasions! From more family friendly and lower cost options to fine dining, Magic Kingdom has it all! For those looking to enjoy a cocktail, glass of wine, or beer, the table service and character dining restaurants are the only places that serve alcohol in Magic Kingdom.

We HIGHLY recommend booking a reservation at these restaurants (up to 60 days before your trip), as it is very difficult to get last minute reservations or walk up availability. Guests can make reservations online, through the My Disney Experience mobile app, or by calling (407) 939-3378. Additionally, sometimes table-service restaurants and lounges offer a same-day walk-up virtual list on the My Disney Experience app which is another option if you are unable to book a reservation.

The table service restaurants at Magic Kingdom include:

• The Plaza Restaurant
• Tony's Town Square Restaurant
• Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen
• The Diamond Horseshoe
• Liberty Tree Tavern
• Be Our Guest Restaurant

These restaurants are traditional, sit down meals with waitstaff, as opposed to quick-service cafeteria style restaurants. These table service restaurants do not have character meet and greets, however, they each have beautiful and fun Disney themes and delicious food! Let's get into all the table service restaurants at Magic Kingdom.

Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen

One of my personal favorite restaurants in all of Magic Kingdom is Skipper Canteen, located in Adventureland. Skipper Canteen is open for lunch and dinner and costs between $15 and $34.99 per adult, and $11 and $15 per child, which is on the lower side of prices for Magic Kingdom table service restaurants.

Besides the amazing African, Asian, and Latin-inspired food, the overall theming of Skipper Canteen is worth the visit. It fits in perfectly with the Adventureland aesthetic and is inspired by the infamous Jungle Cruise attraction at Magic Kingdom. Our favorite meals include Dr. Falls Signature Grilled Steak, Curried Vegetable Crew Stew, and the “Hardy Har Char” Siu Pork.

Tony's Town Square Restaurant

An often overlooked and underrated table service restaurant in Magic Kingdom is Tony's Town Square Restaurant, located on Main Street. I personally love visiting this turn-of-the-century trattoria, where the two beloved dogs from Disney’s 1955 animated classic, Lady and the Tramp, shared spaghetti and meatballs and their famous first kiss.

Tony's Town Square is open for lunch and dinner, and the average price of these meals cost between $15 and $34.99 per adult and between $11.50 and $12.50 per child. Tony's serves classic Italian dishes that are sure to please including Chicken Parmigiana, Braised Beef Short Rib, and of course, Spaghetti and Meatballs. Make sure to save room for dessert, because you absolutely need to try one of Tony's Classic Cannolis or Summer Berry Tiramisù!

The Plaza Restaurant

Located on Main Street, The Plaza Restaurant offers casual dining in an elegant dining parlor atmosphere. This hidden gem offers lunch and dinner selections, such as sandwiches, burgers, and fresh salads. Guests should save room for desserts, which include shakes, ice cream floats, and banana splits. The cost of meals average from $15 to $34.99 per adult and cost between $10.50 and $12.50 per child.

Although the menu is pretty basic, this restaurant has a ton of charm and offers a variety of delicious options for your next trip to Magic Kingdom.

The Diamond Horseshoe

The Diamond Horseshoe is an all you can eat, family-style restaurant located in Liberty Square. This Old West style music hall is open for lunch and dinner and offers casual American dining priced at $42 per adult and $23 per child, plus tax and gratuity.

The Diamond Horseshoe serves the “Saloon Feast” which includes unlimited roasted turkey, pot roast, and oven-roasted pork with delicious sides. There is also a plant-based Impossible Meatloaf platter option which includes mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, and seasonal vegetables. However, the main event of this meal is the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake with vanilla toffee cake, chocolate sauce, and vanilla ice cream. This delicious treat is one of our all time favorite desserts in all of Disney World! The Diamond Horseshoe is arguably the best family-style restaurant in Magic Kingdom, especially for the price!

Liberty Tree Tavern

The Liberty Tree Tavern is a colonial-style inn that pays tribute to our founding fathers. Located in Liberty Square, Liberty Tree Tavern is all you can eat, family-style restaurant and shares a kitchen and exact same menu with The Diamond Horseshoe restaurant. The price for lunch and dinner also costs the same, and is priced at $42 per adult and $23 per child, plus tax and gratuity.

Although Liberty Tree Tavern is a great option for a meal at Magic Kingdom, we prefer The Diamond Horseshoe's overall aesthetic and atmosphere. The Diamond Horseshoe has a larger dining area and also typically includes a piano player on stage for some dining entertainment! However, you are still getting the same great food at the same price at Liberty Tree Tavern.

Be Our Guest

Guests can enter Beast’s enchanted castle and feast on all you can eat, family-style French-inspired fare at the Be Our Guest Restaurant. This elegant 550-seat restaurant is located at the foot of Beast’s Castle in Fantasyland has three beautiful dining areas. The areas include: The Grand Balloon inspired by the “Tale as Old as Time” scene, The West Wing inspired by the Beast's study including his enchanted rose, and The Rose Gallery which displays Belle and Beast's romance through artwork and life-style dancing figures of Belle and Beast.

Be Our Guest is priced fairly high for a table service restaurant at $70 per adult and $41 per child, plus tax and gratuity. The various entrées include Grilled Filet Mignon, Pan-roasted Squash, and Roasted Poulet Rouge Chicken. Although the overall theming of Be Our Guest is absolutely incredible, we typically don't dine here due to the high price, especially when there are other great family-style restaurants elsewhere in Magic Kingdom at a lower cost. However, it is worth splurging on at least once, especially for Beauty and the Beast fans!

Magic Kingdom Quick Service Restaurants

Magic Kingdom is also known for a wide variety of convenient quick-service restaurants throughout the park. These restaurants do not take reservations, however, we usually recommend using the mobile ordering feature on the My Disney Experience mobile app which often cuts down a ton of time waiting for your order.

The quick-service restaurants at Magic Kingdom include:

• Casey's Corner 
• Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café
• Columbia Harbour House
• The Friar's Nook
• The Lunching Pad
• Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café
• Pinocchio Village Haus
• Sleepy Hollow
• Tortuga Tavern (temporarily closed)
• Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant (temporarily closed)

Casey's Corner

Located on Main Street, Casey's Corner serves American baseball favorites, such as hot dogs, corn dog nuggets, French fries, and ice-cold lemonade slushies. Casey's is open for lunch and dinner each day, and their entrées range from $15.79 and under per item.

Casey's Corner is one of our favorite quick service restaurants not just because of their delicious food. Typically, guests can spot the Casey's Corner pianist playing a wide variety of songs, including songs requested by guests, right outside the restaurant! We also love that Casey's is conveniently located next to the Emporium gift shop, you can actually walk through the gift shop into Casey's without stepping outside, which can be convenient on days when central Florida's weather is especially rainy or humid.

Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow offers one of our favorite desserts in all of Disney World, the fresh fruit waffle with Nutella! Sleepy Hollow is located just inside Liberty Square, very close to Cinderella's Castle, and offers a variety of sweet and savory snacks including funnel cakes, turkey legs, and hand-dipped corn dogs.

You can stop by Sleepy Hollow during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with prices ranging from $13.49 and under per item. This small quick-service restaurant accepts mobile ordering and serves some of the best and iconic Disney treats! They also serve a variety of Joffrey's Coffee for a caffeine boost, including both hot coffee and cold brew.

Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café

Another great quick-service restaurant is located in Frontierland, near the newly re-imagined Tiana's Bayou Adventure attraction. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café is an Old West saloon-themed restaurant offering a variety of Mexican options including a fajita platter, southwestern salad, and bacon cheeseburger. We also love Pecos Bill's mini churros with chocolate sauce and strawberry limeade slush!

Food items at this fun and delicious quick service restaurant range from $15.49 and under. Another reason we love Pecos Bill is their large Kid's Menu ranging from $8.49 and under. Their Kid's Menu includes a veggie rice bowl, pork carnitas rice bowl, chicken tacos, and macaroni & cheese. Another great perk is Pecos Bill's very large indoor dining area which easily seats large groups. 

Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café

Tomorrowland is home to one of the most unique restaurants at Magic Kingdom, Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café. In the main dining area, guests can be entertained by Sonny Eclipse, the out of this world performing animatronic. Cosmic Ray's is open for lunch and dinner and serves typical American food including chicken strips, sandwiches, and burgers ranging from $13.49 and under. There is also a dedicated Kid's Menu with similar items for $8.49 and under. 

The food at Cosmic Ray's is unfortunately pretty underwhelming, however the theme makes it worth a visit, especially if you are in the mood for classic American theme park food. Cosmic Ray's also typically has fun events such as dance parties during special events such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Columbia Harbour House

The New England-inspired Columbia Harbour House specializes in fried fish, shrimp, or chicken platters, lobster rolls, clam chowder, and salads. Located in Liberty Square near the Haunted Mansion attraction, Columbia Harbour House is open for lunch and dinner, and their adult entrées range from $18.99 and under. The Kid's Menu ranges from $8.59 and under and includes similar items such as salmon, shrimp, and chicken strips.

Columbia Harbour House is another favorite quick-service restaurant of ours at Magic Kingdom and is one of the only quick-service restaurants offering a seafood menu!

The Friar's Nook

Located in Fantasyland, The Friar's Nook is inspired by the classic film Robin Hood and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast items include a breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheddar on a pretzel bun with tater tots. You can also order a side of sausage and gravy tots or cinnamon-sugar doughnuts for something sweet! The lunch and dinner menu consists of hot dogs, bratwurst, and creamy bacon macaroni & cheese tots ranging from $12.79 and under. 

The Lunching Pad

Another quick-service option in Tomorrowland is The Lunching Pad, located just below the Astro Orbiter. The Lunching Pad serves classic American items for $12.79 and under including hot dogs, Mickey-shaped pretzels, and sticky bubble bread which is sweet bread rolled in cinnamon, caramel and warm spices. The Lunching Pad is also open for breakfast and serves a breakfast bowl with potato barrels, a cheese omelet, chili con carne queso, and sour cream.

The Lunching Pad is an easy option for a variety of food, although again it's more basic theme park food which some may want to avoid. However, we do love it's location in the heart of Tomorrowland, as it is very close to TRON, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear's Ranger Spin, Carousel of Progress, and Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor!

Pinocchio Village Haus

Pinocchio Village Haus is a quaint cottage that serves Italian favorites, such as chicken parmesan sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, pasta dishes, and salads for $13.29 and under per item, with a Kid's Menu offering meals for $7.79 and under. 

Pinocchio Village Haus is located in Fantasyland and is open for lunch and dinner. If you decide to eat here, make sure to sit near the large windows which look into the It's a Small World Attraction! This is another large indoor dining area offering a cute theme and delicious food.

Tortuga Tavern

Tortuga Tavern is located just across from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in Adventureland. Tortuga Tavern offers a variety of items including hot dogs, barbecued pork sandwiches, orange chicken strips, and a peanut butter, chocolate-hazelnut spread, and banana sandwich.

Unfortunately, Tortuga Tavern is considered a seasonal restaurant and is only open during busier park days. Even when it is open, which seems to be less and less often, the hours are typically very limited. Although the hours are limited and sporadic, it's worth trying on your next trip to Magic Kingdom.

Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant

The Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant is another temporarily closed quick-service restaurant in Tomorrowland that would typically serve Angus bacon cheeseburgers, pizza, salads, and sandwiches along with some kid-friendly meal selections and delicious desserts.

Currently, it serves as the location of the seperately-ticketed Magic Kingdom Fireworks Pre-Party, Post-Party, and Seats & Sweets Party which allows guests to watch the fireworks as they dine on delicious desserts, cheese, and drinks. Tomorrowland Terrace is also home to the unique Fireworks dessert parties during special events such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!

Magic Kingdom Character Dining

Magic Kingdom has two great character dining restaurants, The Crystal Palace and Cinderella's Royal Table. Both offer different dining styles and an assortment of favorite Disney characters to meet and take photos with during your meal. Character meals can be great for special occasions and to have extra magical interactions with characters! For more information about character dining, check out our reviews of every character dining experience in Disney World here!

Similar to the table services restaurants mentioned above, we absolutely recommend booking a reservation 60 days in advance in order to secure a table at both of these amazing Magic Kingdom restaurants.

The Crystal Palace

Dine with your favorite characters from the Hundred Acre Wood at The Crystal Palace, located on Main Street, U.S.A. The Crystal Palace offers an all you can eat buffet style breakfast, lunch, and dinner while guests meet Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger. 

The prices are typically higher at character dining restaurants and The Crystal Palace is no different. Breakfast costs $48 per adult and $30 per child, plus tax and gratuity, while lunch and dinner costs $61 per adult and $40 per child, plus tax and gratuity. The menu includes salads, pasta, country fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and more. 

Despite the higher costs, we love coming to The Crystal Palace because you get to dine on a large variety of food as well as interact with Pooh and Friends. 

Cinderella's Royal Table

Dine inside Cinderella's Castle and interact with Disney princesses at Cinderella's Royal Table restaurant! This is a one of a kind Fairytale dining experience open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cinderella's Royal Table is a family style, all you can eat restaurant offering a traditional breakfast menu and chicken, roasted lamb chops, soup, salads, and more for lunch and dinner. 

Similar to The Crystal Palace, the price to dine at Cinderella's Royal Table is on the higher side at $84 per adult and $49 per child for lunch and dinner, and $69 per adult and $42 per child at breakfast, plus tax and gratuity. 

Although this experience is incredible and can check off many guests' bucket list item of dining inside the castle, the price usually prevents us from coming here too often. If you plan on visiting EPCOT during your next trip to Disney World, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall offers a cheaper dining option that also allows guests to meet several Disney princesses. 

Magic Kingdom Snack Kiosks

The below list is a summary of the various snack and food kiosks located throughout Magic Kingdom. These eateries do not take reservations or mobile orders, meaning you must stand in a normal queue to enjoy any of their delicious treats. There are some great options for a quick snack during your park day so make sure to make note of these before your next trip to Magic Kingdom!

Not mentioned in this list are the various popcorn carts you can spot throughout Magic Kingdom, notably on Main Street and near Cinderella's Castle. These are convenient options if you want to grab a box of popcorn, cinnamon glazed almonds, or bottle of water.

• Sunshine Tree Terrace offers a variety of ice cream and DOLE Whip flavors including DOLE Whip orange and strawberry. My personal favorite float, the I Lava You Float, can also be found here.
