32: Try These 11 Waterfront Dining Spots in Disney World

Read the full show notes for this episode HERE!

If you’re already stressing about Disney World dining, let me hand you a life raft: water views. 

In this episode, I’m sharing 11 of my favorite spots where you can slow down, sip something, and remind yourself this trip is supposed to be fun. This list of Disney World restaurants is part survival strategy, part secret weapon for your sanity.

I’ll give you the scoop on which locations are worth making Disney World dining reservations, which ones are perfect for a spontaneous stop, and why some of the best Disney World restaurants aren’t even inside the parks. Spoiler: if you’ve been ignoring the Disney Boardwalk restaurants, you’re missing some of the most laid-back meals on property.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The underrated EPCOT spots where Disney World dining meets lagoon views (and why they beat fighting for fireworks spots).
• Which Disney World restaurants are secretly toddler-friendly thanks to porch booths, ducks, and churros.
• The hidden gems outside the parks where Disney World dining reservations are actually easy to snag.
• Why the best Disney World restaurants aren’t always about the food - it’s the vibe, the views, and yes, the cocktails.
• A candid take on the Disney Boardwalk restaurants and why one of them is now my go-to for a calm checkout-day breakfast.

If you had to pick just one waterside meal for your next Disney trip, which would it be - EPCOT lagoon tacos, Boathouse Amphicars, or a sunset dinner at Narcoossee’s?... Let me know your thoughts over on IG:  @somewhereworthwhile.
