Six Fun Disney World Dining Experiences (and One That Could Be Better)
Page 1 of 7
All seasoned Walt Disney World visitors know the fun doesn't stop when you get off the rides. Disney puts a lot of effort into creating memorable dining experiences of all types - from the upscale and elegant to casual and friendly. But many find the most memorable restaurants to be those that offer a little bit of fun. And while character dining is the first thing many think of when they think of fun restaurants, it's not the first thing I think of. In fact, all of my favorite fun Disney World dining experiences have no characters at all.
So below I present my six fun Walt Disney World dining experiences. In addition, at the end for your character dining fans, I give one character dining experience that should be a lot more fun than it is and some character dining alternatives you might want to choose instead.

Whispering Canyon
The undisputed king of Walt Disney World themed dining is Whispering Canyon �at the Wilderness Lodge. It�s a zany place to dine with servers yelling across the restaurant, kids riding hobby horses around the room, a very efficient way of straw distribution and I dare you to ask for ketchup. Each server has a western-themed name and a story to go with it. Among the stranger things I�ve seen are an ice tea brought in a humongous jar for a guest who got too many refills, a server request the phone from a guest who was talking on their cell and proceed to talk in their place, a very large fork brought to a guest who dropped theirs and did I mention the ketchup? The food�s pretty good, too. The Canyon Skillet is an all-you-can-eat favorite with ribs, pulled pork, ovan-roasted chicken, beef brisket and sides. And my personal favorite is the all-you-can-drink milkshakes.
