Rainforest Cafe

Updated 6/16/22 For the most up-to-date information about the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, please visit the   Walt Disney World Know Before You Go Guide. Our family loves enjoying a meal at Rainforest Cafe at Disney’s Animal Kingdom mainly for the rainforest themed environment, but also because their large menu has a wide range of options so we can all find something to enjoy. Located near the main entrance of Animal Kingdom, the Rainforest Cafe does not require a park ticket. However, because of their location at the entrance of Animal Kingdom, you would need to pay for theme park parking if you are driving to the restaurant. Transportation to Rainforest Cafe is available via bus from Disney resort. The Rainforest Cafe takes you on a journey into the jungle filled with animated animals to enjoy your meal. Anyone with kids that love animals or jungles will likely love the over the top theming in this restaurant. There are animated singing birds, elephants,...

Biergarten Restaurant

Updated 6/16/22 For the most up-to-date information about the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, please visit the   Walt Disney World Know Before You Go Guide. Tucked away in the World Showcase promenade of Epcot’s Germany pavilion, Biergarten Restaurant is a great dining location for those who crave authentic German cuisine with a lively atmosphere and live entertainment.  There are a handful of ways to get to Epcot and the Germany Pavilion! A favorite of many is to enter from the International Gateway at the back of Epcot---by either staying at the Boardwalk area hotels or by traveling via the Disney Skyliner to enter at the back of the park. The Germany Pavilion is located between the China and Italy Pavilions. If you are utilizing the traditional Disney bus system, you will arrive at the front of Epcot’s entry gates and take about a 20 minute walk to the Epcot's World Showcase area. You will head to the left once you enter the World Showcase and arrive ...

Tutto Italia Ristorante

Updated 6/16/22 For the most up-to-date information about the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, please visit the   Walt Disney World Know Before You Go Guide. Tutto Italia Ristorante is the place to get a delicious, traditional Italian meal during your day at Epcot. Located in the Italy pavilion of World Showcase, you can grab a reservation here for lunch or dinner. Because it is located in Epcot, you will need a valid park admission to dine here, as well as a park pass reservation (at the time of this writing). We do recommend that you get a dining reservation as well, though you may be able to walk up and sneak in to sit in the wine cellar where they serve a limited menu of small plates and offer a full bar.  Lunch is s erved from 12:30PM to 3:55PM and Dinner is served from 4:00PM to 9:00PM. When dining plans are in play, this will use one table service credit per person. You can expect to spend anywhere from $15-35 for your meal, but you’ll want to budg...
