Top 5 Quick Service Dining Locations at Magic Kingdom
You’re at the Magic Kingdom, and you need something to eat. I mean, part of a great Disney vacation is experiencing some of the food they offer, right? But how do you know what is a good use of your money or your dining credits? And, when it comes to quick service dining, you want to get a great variety in your meals, too. So today I want to share with you my Top Five Favorite Quick Service Dining Locations at the Magic Kingdom.
First, what is quick service dining? Basically, it’s a counter service {think fast food} restaurant. You walk up to give a Cast Member your order, and then you approach a window to pick it up. You choose your seat in the restaurant, and there are no reservations necessary. You don’t quite have the options for meals as you might at a buffet or table service restaurant, but you’ll be surprised at how you can find some yummy, quick food before getting the rest of your touring underway.
- Pinocchio’s Village Haus. This is located in Fantasyland, just beside It’s a Small World. This is one of my favorites because I love their flatbreads! The Caprese Flatbread is my favorite, but the BBQ Chicken one sounds good, too! Also, they offer salads, as well as sandwiches. If you get a seat upstairs, you can watch the boats take off at It’s a Small World

5 Reasons You’ll Fall In Love With Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort
So, you’ve decided it’s time for another trip to Walt Disney World, Let me be the first to congratulate you on a decision well made, and may I also suggest that you consider the beautiful Wilderness Lodge as your Disney Resort. WHY, you might ask? Well, here’s the top 5 reasons:
1. A Lot To Look At – Inside AND outside: From far away, it looks like a giant log cabin, and it is simply breathtaking. It’s modeled after the Old Faithful Lodge in Yellowstone National Park, as it was in the early 1900′s. The lobby is quite the sight – it has an 80 foot tall fireplace, huge totem poles, and plenty of spaces to relax (including some old fashioned wooden rocking chairs). The theming is spectacular at this resort, from the landscaping to the sound of crickets as you enter the front door, you really are immersed in the National Park motif that’s carried on throughout the Resort.

Disney World’s Victoria & Albert’s named Orlando’s most iconic restaurant by Zagat
The Walt Disney World Resort’s restaurant, Victoria & Albert’s has been named Orlando’s most iconic restaurant by Zagat. Zagat just released a new list of fifteen U.S. restaurants that “embody the essence of their city.”
Zagat included this review of Victoria & Albert’s, “A ‘once-in-a-lifetime experience,’ this Grand Floridian ‘celebration destination’ earns ‘superlatives all around,’ from chef Scott Hunnel’s ‘exquisite,’ ‘beautifully presented’ New American prix fixes to ‘impeccable’ service — and an ‘über-romantic, high-end’ setting where ‘elegance rules’ (jackets are required for men); you may ‘need to hock one of your kids’ to pay, but those ‘trying to impress’ say there’s ‘no finer place.’”
This is not the first recognition the restaurant has received though. Victoria & Albert’s became a James Beard award semifinalist for outstanding service in 2013. Also this year, Victoria & Albert’s Chef Hunnel was named a semifinalist for the Best Chef South category. The restaurant has received the AAA Five Diamond award for thirteen straight years. Victoria & Albert’s is also a 22-year recipient of the Forbes Travel Guide four-star rating and has won numerous Foodie Awards over the years from the Orlando Sentinel.
