Well, you’ve finally saved up the money to take tour family on that Disney vacation that you’ve been promising. Now if you could just find a way to eat while you’re there everything would be perfect. That might be a slight exaggeration, but we all know that the price of amusement park dining can be outrageous if you don’t know where to look. These are a few of the places that can be found in Walt Disney World where you can have a nice meal with your family and still have enough to buy a few souvenirs.(I’ll save the prices of those for another story)
The Liberty Inn, located in Epcot’s World Showcase is a fast food style restaurant that offers typical all-American foods like barbecued pork and chicken, cheeseburgers, and hot dogs. There are also several vegetarian and kosher meals available along with various desserts. There is also a limited children’s menu. Most adult meals are under $15, and some diner’s plans are accepted.
A fast food meal may be all right for lunch, but after a long day at the park, you’ll probably be ready for a good, hearty meal. The Trails End Restaurant may be just what you’re looking for. For breakfast, lunch and dinner they offer a moderately priced buffet and at lunch you can also order from an a la carte menu. The dinner buffet offers hearty home cooked foods like, smoked pork ribs, fried chicken, pasta, fish, and pizza slices. There is also a sandwich and salad bar available, as well as the soup of the day.
The kids may enjoy a meal at the T-Rex Café, where there are many kid oriented activities, as well as a very nice children’s menu. If you go into the meteor room you can experience a meteor shower every few minutes, and there is a giant octopus above the bare area that actually moves. While this restaurant is a little more pricey than some, the experience might be worth a few extra dollars.
