A restored boat workshop welcomes guests each evening to a Southern Louisiana cooking experience on the bayou. This nautical-themed eatery has antique shipbuilding tools hanging throughout the restaurant and a suspended skeleton of a 46 foot lugger boat as the centerpiece of the restaurant. Located at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - Riverside, this restaurant overlooking the Sassagoula River, specializes in southern style cuisine with a comfortable atmosphere for all Walt Disney World guests. Boatwright’s Jambalaya, Deep South Shrimp and Grits, and the All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Chef’s Platter (with Nashville hot chicken) make for a dinner full of flavor.

Located on the West Side of Disney Springs is City Works Eatery - a go to place for the beer lovers in your life. Here you’ll find classic American cuisine and a massive selection of beers including more than 90 local and global varieties. Since it is located at Disney Springs, you do not need park admission or a park reservation to dine here, though we always recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you’re able. You can take Disney transportation to get here, or if you’re driving, park for free in one of the parking garages or lots. (Strawberry, Watermelon, and Orange are closest to the West Side.). While this is a bit more adult-focused with a huge variety of adult beverages, it’s also a great place to find a high quality, American meal for those pickier eaters in your life. Plus, there are plen...

For those unfamiliar with this super fun restaurant find, Beaches and Cream is located near the pool at Disney’s Beach Club Resort within the Boardwalk district of Disney World in Florida. While it is a non character, casual dining option, it is a must to check out the experience for yourself!  The restaurant has been recently refurbished. Some will say, when you order the “Kitchen Sink” you get a miniature show when it is delivered to the table!  My family and I will never forget our first experience at Beaches and Cream when we stayed at the Beach Club Resort. We ordered the ultimate menu item - The Kitchen Sink sundae - with 8 scoops of various flavors of ice cream smothered in every topping imaginable! YEP, it is a thing and it was pretty memorable!  Now that you KNOW you want to go, de...

A longtime resident of Conch Flats, Olivia welcomes diners with island-inspired dishes. This nautical-themed eatery has the friendly, familiar feel of a neighborhood institution and is a favorite of many Walt Disney World guests. Located at Disney’s Old Key West Resort, this quaint cafe offers a wonderfully relaxed dining experience away from the hustle and bustle of the parks. You might be asking yourself, “Who is Olivia?” Olivia Farnsworth lived in a small cottage along Turtle Krawl, upwind of the strip. Almost daily, she would invite curious passersby who smelled her cooking to come on in and pull up a chair. People loved her vibrant flavors and earthy personality, and before long, she found herself setting more tables. Eventually, Olivia opened the doors to her cafe, which has been a haven for locals ...

If you need a few moments to step away from the hustle and bustle of the Disney fun, look no further than Enzo’s Hideaway. Tucked underneath Disney Springs, Enzo’s transports you to a 1920s speakeasy. It boasts of tantalizing, barrel-aged cocktails and the largest collection of rums and scotches of any restaurant at Disney Springs. But adult beverages are not the only thing Enzo’s has to offer; the menu is top notch. Diners can choose from imported meats and cheeses, Italian-inspired entrees, and let’s not forget the dessert. For the kids (or kids at heart), spaghetti and meatballs, cheese pizza, or penne and butter will satisfy even the biggest of appetites. Getting to Enzo’s is easy; simply hop on Disney Transportation to Disney Springs! If you have a vehicle while in the Orlando area, you can park for ...
