Located right at the top of Cinderella Castle in the middle of the Magic Kingdom, Cinderella’s Royal Table offers a princess character meal featuring Cinderella and other princesses. For young kids (and those young at heart) it can be a dream experience to dine right in the castle.

Be Our Guest
This newer Magic Kingdom restaurant, located in the Beast Castle in the Fantasyland area, has been extremely popular since it opened. It’s an absolutely beautiful space, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into the movie Beauty and the Beast. There are three themed rooms in Be Our Guest – and each one is unique. The grand ballroom is elegant and beautiful, with a gorgeous ceiling and gothic elements, while the west wing and the castle gallery are more understated (but still beautiful).
Crystal Palace
Even when I was a child, I loved dining at the beautiful Crystal Palace, which is located in the front of the park at the end of Main Street USA. On a hot busy day walking around the theme parks, it’s one of my favorite places to relax and eat lunch or dinner. Winnie the Pooh and friends host the character meal and do a little parade around the restaurant in addition to greeting guests at each table.
Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen
The newest Magic Kingdom restaurant is Jungle Cruise-themed and brings you into the story. The “mess hall” for the skippers on the cruise features a few different rooms, and all make you feel like you are part of the adventure. Skipper Canteen offers lunch and dinner, with an a la carte menu. Food is Asian, South American, and African-inspired, and a bit on the adventurous side.
The Plaza Restaurant
One of the smaller table-service restaurants at the Magic Kingdom is the Plaza Restaurant, which is located on the corner of Main Street USA, on the Tomorrowland side. It’s a beautiful, elegant restaurant, but has a casual menu and vibe. We love eating there when we are looking for a quick table service lunch.
Casey’s Corner
Located on Main Street USA, Casey’s Corner is a baseball-themed quick-service restaurant. It’s one of the more popular quick-service restaurants, due to its central location and fun theme. Casey’s Corner’s menu includes American-inspired favorites, like hot dogs, chili, french fries, and corn dog nuggets. Vegetarians will also appreciate the plant-based hot dogs on the menu.
Pinocchio Village Haus
This quick-service restaurant, adjacent to it’s a small world in Fantasyland, holds a lot of nostalgia for me. It’s one of the places we always visited when I was a kid, and while it’s changed a bit, much of it is the same. There is a small seating area that overlooks the boat loading area for it’s a small world, which can be so much fun to watch.
Columbia Harbour House
In my opinion, Columbia Harbour House is one of the most underrated table service restaurants in all of Walt Disney World. It’s tucked in the back of the park in Liberty Square and offers American-inspired dishes including a lobster roll, clam chowder, chicken, and salads.
Don’t Miss Out on Snacks
Of course, you can’t miss out on the Magic Kingdom snacks. There are so many great kiosks and cafes offering quick bites. Here are a few favorite places: Aloha Isle, Sunshine Tree Terrace, Sleepy Hollow, Main Street Bakery, Gaston’s Tavern, and Liberty Square Market.
