Unearth The Voyage
Ever wondered what it feels like to dine inside your favorite Disney movie? At Walt Disney World, you can actually taste the magic with restaurants and snack spots designed to match beloved films. From castle feasts to space-age treats, these themed dining experiences take you beyond just watching the movies—they let you eat your way through them!
1. Beauty and the Beast → Be Our Guest (Magic Kingdom, Fantasyland)
Step through the massive castle doors and find yourself in the exact ballroom where Belle and Beast danced! The enormous chandeliers, falling snow outside the windows, and Beast himself greeting you during dinner create genuine movie magic.
French-inspired cuisine fits the theme perfectly, with options ranging from filet mignon to ratatouille (another Disney crossover!). The West Wing features the enchanted rose, while the Rose Gallery showcases dancing figurines.
Pro tip: Try the ‘grey stuff’ for dessert—it’s delicious, just like Lumiere promised in the song!
2. Cinderella → Cinderella’s Royal Table (Magic Kingdom, Cinderella Castle)
Dining inside the actual Cinderella Castle might be the closest thing to becoming royalty without a fairy godmother! Stone archways, medieval tapestries, and soaring ceilings create the perfect fairy tale setting as you ascend the spiral staircase to the dining hall.
Princesses float from table to table during your meal, making this an unforgettable character experience. The stained glass windows tell Cinderella’s story while you enjoy upscale American fare.
Breakfast reservations give you early park entry—a magical perk that lets you experience an empty Main Street before opening!
3. Frozen → Kringla Bakeri og Kafe (EPCOT, Norway Pavilion)
Norwegian treats worthy of Elsa and Anna await at this charming bakery tucked inside EPCOT’s Norway pavilion. The star attraction? School Bread—a cardamom-spiced bun filled with vanilla custard and topped with coconut that has developed a cult following among Disney fans.
The cozy café perfectly captures Arendelle’s Nordic charm with wooden accents and traditional Norwegian design elements. Grab a sweet lefse or troll horn to complete your Frozen food adventure!
For the full royal treatment, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall nearby offers princess character dining in a medieval stone castle setting reminiscent of Arendelle’s palace.
4. Star Wars → Oga’s Cantina + Docking Bay 7 (Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Galaxy’s Edge)
Aliens, droids, and smugglers would feel right at home in Oga’s Cantina, where former Starspeeder pilot droid DJ R-3X spins galactic tunes. The intimate space buzzes with energy as bartenders mix colorful concoctions like the Fuzzy Tauntaun (which literally makes your lips tingle) and the famous Blue Bantha with its cookie topper.
Just across the way, Docking Bay 7 serves hearty space fare in an industrial hangar setting. Metal shipping containers and cargo crates form dining alcoves while you feast on Batuuan specialties.
Both venues maintain Star Wars immersion—staff speak in character and food names reflect the galaxy far, far away!
5. Toy Story → Roundup Rodeo BBQ or Woody’s Lunch Box (Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Land)
Yeehaw! Shrink down to toy size at these perfectly themed eateries in Andy’s backyard. Roundup Rodeo BBQ immerses you in a play set Andy created using cardboard boxes, colored paper, and his favorite toys—complete with larger-than-life Toy Story characters watching over your family-style barbecue feast.
For quick bites, Woody’s Lunch Box serves up nostalgic comfort food that would make any cowboy proud. The famous grilled three-cheese sandwich oozes with melty goodness, while “totchos” (tater tot nachos) provide the perfect shareable snack.
Both locations feature details that make you feel genuinely toy-sized, from giant playing cards to massive Tinker Toys supporting the structures!
6. Ratatouille → La Crêperie de Paris (EPCOT, France Pavilion)
Remy would approve of this authentic crêperie nestled in the expanded France pavilion, just steps from his own ride adventure! The menu showcases both savory galettes made with buckwheat flour and sweet dessert crêpes that make perfect portable snacks for strolling through “Paris.”
Exposed wooden beams and cozy bistro seating create a charming atmosphere that transports you straight to a French sidewalk café. Try the classique complète galette with ham, egg and cheese, followed by a dessert crêpe drizzled with housemade caramel.
For the ultimate Ratatouille day, ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure first, then sample French cuisine worthy of Anton Ego’s approval!
7. Coco → San Angel Inn Restaurante (EPCOT, Mexico Pavilion)
Perpetual twilight bathes this remarkable restaurant inside EPCOT’s Mexico pyramid, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Miguel’s journey through the Land of the Dead. Twinkling lights and the warm glow of lanterns illuminate the space as boats from Gran Fiesta Tour glide by on the water below.
Authentic Mexican cuisine takes center stage with specialties like mole poblano and chiles rellenos. The restaurant’s position overlooking the blue-water ride creates one of Disney’s most unique dining settings.
Don’t miss the colorful Día de los Muertos displays throughout the Mexico pavilion that showcase gorgeous alebrije figures and other Coco-inspired artwork during seasonal celebrations!
8. Avatar → Satu’li Canteen + Pongu Pongu (Animal Kingdom, Pandora)
Pandora’s unique ecosystem inspires every aspect of these otherworldly dining spots. Satu’li Canteen, housed in a former RDA mess hall now reclaimed by the Na’vi, serves colorful build-your-own bowls with unusual combinations like wood-grilled chicken over boba balls and crunchy vegetable slaw.
The bioluminescent details and natural elements create a seamless extension of the movie’s alien world. Nearby, Pongu Pongu (meaning “party party” in Na’vi) offers the instantly recognizable Night Blossom—a frozen drink with layers of vibrant purple and green topped with passion fruit boba.
Both venues maintain the storyline that you’re visiting a former mining colony now transformed into a cultural destination!
9. Alice in Wonderland → Cheshire Café (Magic Kingdom, near Mad Tea Party)
Curiouser and curiouser! This quaint kiosk sits just steps from the spinning teacups, offering the perfect Wonderland treat—the Instagram-famous Cheshire Cat Tail. The pastry twist features chocolate chips folded into sweet bread with pink and purple icing stripes mimicking the mischievous cat’s iconic colors.
The café’s whimsical design elements include playing card motifs and crooked architectural features that would make the Queen of Hearts proud. It’s the perfect quick stop before falling down the rabbit hole of nearby attractions.
Pair your cat tail with the refreshing Wonderland Slush—a frozen raspberry lemonade that complements the sweetness of the pastry perfectly!
10. Pirates of the Caribbean → Tortuga Tavern (Magic Kingdom, Adventureland)
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s feast for me! This rustic tavern sits directly across from the iconic Pirates of the Caribbean ride, continuing your swashbuckling adventure with weathered wooden beams, nautical details, and a covered outdoor seating area that feels like a Caribbean hideaway.
The menu changes seasonally, but often features hearty fare like giant turkey legs that would satisfy even the hungriest buccaneer. Treasure chests and pirate maps decorate the walls, enhancing the feeling that Jack Sparrow himself might stumble in at any moment.
The restaurant’s name references the infamous pirate port of Tortuga featured prominently in the film series!
11. Jungle Cruise → Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen (Magic Kingdom, Adventureland)
The famous Jungle Cruise skippers have opened their mess hall to hungry adventurers! This table-service restaurant extends the ride’s storyline through three themed dining rooms filled with artifacts and inside jokes that fans of the attraction will immediately recognize.
The punny spirit of the ride carries through to menu items like “Tastes like Chicken” Because it is! and the Falls Family Falafel. Servers maintain the skipper persona, delivering groan-worthy jokes between courses of exotic cuisine inspired by Asia, South America, and Africa.
Look closely at the bookshelves in the S.E.A. (Society of Explorers and Adventurers) room for hidden references to other Disney attractions and characters!
12. Lilo & Stitch / Moana vibes → ‘Ohana + Pineapple Lanai (Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort)
Aloha! The spirit of the Pacific Islands comes alive at ‘Ohana, where the Best Friends Breakfast lets you meet Lilo and Stitch while enjoying all-you-care-to-enjoy Hawaiian-inspired morning favorites. The restaurant’s warm wood tones, tiki torches, and sweeping views of Seven Seas Lagoon create an authentic island atmosphere.
For dinner, skewers of grilled meats are brought to your table alongside noodles and dumplings, though characters don’t appear at evening meals. The famous bread pudding with bananas and caramel sauce has developed a cult following among Disney fans!
Complete your tropical experience with a stop at Pineapple Lanai for the iconic DOLE Whip soft serve.
