Creator's Key Takeaways

We have our cutlery at the ready and we are prepared to tell you about the best restaurants in Disney World for 2026.

I love this time of year for DFB because this is when I get to start deep diving again into which restaurants the team and I agree are worth investing in for upcoming vacations.

The Wayfinder Burger is made with two pressed patties, American cheese, onion jam, and volcano sauce on a sweet bun. And this is so so good.

Cinderella's Royal Table is the Magic Kingdom's most popular restaurant, but it's also the most expensive of the bunch.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make advanced dining reservations for GO82 and Beacon Barrel.
Use Open Table for Cake Bake Shop reservations.
Put your name on the walk-up list for Trader Sam's Grog Grotto right when it opens.
Check the Space 220 lounge for walk-up availability to avoid the prefixed price.
Try the zebra domes at Boma for a divisive but must-try dessert.
