One of the best parts about Disney World is the fact that everyone’s experiences are so unique as they make memories during their vacation.
We can’t get enough of the rides and entertainment, but the food might be up there as Disney’s highlight across the parks and resorts. But, dining experiences aren’t always perfect every time!
And, we asked our AllEars readers where they had their worst meals in Disney World with an overwhelming response! Out of over hundreds of answers, we narrowed it down to your top five picks for your least favorite dining experiences in the parks and resorts.
Coral Reef
The atmosphere of the Coral Reef in EPCOT is stunning with live aquariums situated all around the seating area! Many of you, though, felt like the the food fell flat with seafood that wasn’t at the standard you expected for the price.

Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
As the Festival of Fantasy parade passes by, Tony’s Town Square Restaurant can be a meal with a view being in the center of Main Street, U.S.A. But, our readers thought there were better places to stop by for a bowl of pasta or Italian food around Disney World!

Chef Mickey’s
If you’re looking for a convenient location for breakfast, Chef Mickey’s can be a great choice with easy access to the Monorail and a straight shot to the Magic Kingdom. Yet, the breakfast options were sub-par to readers for the cost that you pay. Since Mickey Waffles and pancakes can be found in multiple places around Disney World, there are other spots with cheaper options (but no interactions with Chef Mickey and friends).

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
If you’ve never been to the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, the restaurant is set up like various cars that have pulled up to a drive-in movie. The environment is a hit with the people who visit the Table Service location, but the food we considered mediocre by many readers.

Hollywood and Vine
Guests frequently head to Hollywood and Vine for the various character interactions that happen throughout the year, including themed Christmas and Halloween dining. Yet, multiple people noted that the food wasn’t exactly worth the cost of the experience with readers favoring other character dining spots around the parks and resorts.

Even though these restaurants had the top votes among our readers for their least favorite meals in Disney World, some people may love places that others don’t! Favorite dining locations are specific to the opinions and preferences of guests, so it can be helpful to keep your options open and try new things whenever you’re visiting the parks and resorts.
As we make our way around Disney World, we’ll be sure to update you on all the dining news you need to know!

Chef Mickeys by far has been our worst eating experience at Disney over the years. Our top 3 favorites are Garden Grille, Sanaa, and Be Our Guest! ❤️
Anything at Earl of Sandwich – you really do get what you pay for.
The Italian Restaurant in Epcot. Worse ever. Sat next to folks from Europe. They walked out w all good left behind. We could not afford to do that WE explained to waitress”this is almost garbage”. That is when we FOUND a server!! Service at most Disney restaurants lacking. Help always seems tired or suffering from hand overs!!!
Tonys Town square is bland. Olive Garden is better. Many of the Disney restaurants win on atmosphere. Best meals for us with our visit 12/29/20-1/5/21 was Liberty Tree Tavern and Be Our Guest. If you leave Liberty Tree Tavern hungry, then you didn’t try hard enough. Liberty brings you so much food and variety. Be Our Guest was fine dining. The filet mignon was delicious. Trio dessert was fabulous. Loved the macaron with fruit filling.
Sci-Fi by a mile…… In a place rules by frenchfries to fill up a plate and your small portion of the main course. Let me just say, in my experience, it is animal cruelty, to let you dog eat there period !
Gotta go with Sci-fi Dine In. It’s a fun little place for average burgers and fries faire. But that’s the themeing. Fun to eat at once and done. Prime Time Cafe is a better experience for similar to better offerings.
