There are a few sit down, reservation worthy, restaurants in the Magic Kingdom. It is hard to know which ones are worth your hard-earned dollar. So today, let’s get into all the Magic Kingdom table service restaurants ranted from worst to best to help you thrive on your next Disney Vacation!
-
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
While everyone loves a cute Lady and the Tramp theme and Italian food, this is just a standard Italian restaurant. The food is good but as many would put it, “overpriced for what it is.” (Remember you are in a Disney theme park) With that being said, I do think it is a good option for anyone who wants a sit down in the AC and a portion big enough to split with someone else. (you know to actually split or for left overs!) -located on Main Street U.S.A.
-
The Diamond Horseshoe
This is a family-style restaurant offering up American cuisine. Family-style means they bring out various entrees and sides for the whole table to split. There is no menu to look over to decide what it is you are wanting to order, which is great if you are indecisive or just want a little of everything! This mean runs $42 for adults and $23 for kids. With this being “all you care to enough” it tends to be more worth it for parties of at least 4 people. -located in Liberty Square.
-
Liberty Tree Tavern
Another family-style restaurant, this one is New England inspired. The dishes available here range from meat loaf and mashed potatoes to ooey gooey toffee cake. This meal reminds me of Thanksgiving dinner, which is not a bad thing, but not necessarily something I want to eat in the middle of July! While the food is good it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Meal price is $42 for adults and $23 for kids. – located in Liberty Square
-
The Plaza Restaurant
The Plaza is a great restaurant to relax in and see Cinderella’s Castle as you dine! The food here is menu based choose your own meal and cost anywhere from about $15 to $35 per person. They serve traditional American cuisine and sometimes will feature a few of Walt’s favorite meals like the Monte Cristo sandwich or Walt’s Chili. – located on Main Street U.S.A.
-
Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen
One of my favorite places to eat! The Skipper Canteen comes with all the terrible “dad jokes” likes the ones used on the Jungle Cruise ride and the theming is absolutely incredible. They even have an entire backstory for the restaurant making it feel like and adventure. Speaking of adventures, you need to have a little bit on an adventurous palate for this one! They serve African, Asian, and Latin inspired dishes here, which are incredible, but may not be suited for pickier eats. If you are feeling like going on a tase bud adventure I highly recommended dropping in! Prices range from about $15 to $35 per person. -located in Adventureland.

Cinderella’s Royal Table
Good ole’ Cindy loves to host in her beautiful castle and we are here for it! This is one of those experiences I suggest doing at least once so you can say, “I have eaten inside Cinderella’s Castle,” what a flex! They serve a pre-fix menu meaning then menu has a few different items that you can choose from for each course. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner and all served and characters are included at every meal. Those characters are some of your favorite Disney princesses. Jasmine, Snow White, and Cinderella herself usually grace each table during your meal.
Breakfast costs $69 for adults and $42 for kids, while lunch and dinner cost $84 for adults and $49 for kids. The food is pretty good but honestly the experience is what puts this restaurant into the top 3. It is not a go-to for every single Disney trip but it is a must do, even if it’s only once! Reservations are usually recommended for this one as it is so popular. -Located in Fantasyland.

Be Our Guest Restaurant
The theming of this place couldn’t be better! Set inside the Beast’s castle, you have 3 dining rooms to choose from, each with a different theme. Will you choose The Rose Gallery, The Grand Ballroom, or The Forbidden West Wing? The pre-fix menu holds a few delicious choices and the kids can create their own meal. The cost of this one is $70 for adults and $41 for kids for lunch and dinner. We definitely recommend getting a reservation for this one as it is popular because everyone want to see the Beast saunter by as they eat! – located in Fantasyland.

The Crystal Palace
HOT TAKE but this is my absolute favorite sit-down restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. For starters, who doesn’t want to be visited by Winnie the Pooh and his Hundred Acre Wood friends! Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, and Eeyore all come to say hi as you dine. They are ADORABLE! On top of that this is a buffet style meal, which may not be everyone go-to, but can be great for picky eaters as there is a variety of options available; And they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast cost $48 for adults and $30 for kids, while lunch and dinner cost $61 for adults and $40 for kids. Overall, for the cost, accommodation, theming, and extras (characters and locations) I think The Crystal Palace is number one in the Magic Kingdom for a sit-down, full serve, AC experience! – located on Main Street U.S.A.
