Dinner at Magic Kingdom?

Just wondering if anyone had suggestions on where to make dinner reservations that are convenient to Magic Kingdom? I know that there is not much in the way of table service meals in that park but is anything relatively close by? The reservation will be for 2 adults. Thanks!!

California Grill <http://tinyurl.com/6tmf5>, in the Contemporary Resort, overlooks the Magic Kingdom and is one of our favorites. You won't be disappointed.

Lots of Magic Kingdom info at http://allears.net/din/dining.htm see links to the left for the resorts. Contemporary and Polynesian are the closest and are on the Monorail line.

Hello sylvio

The Grand Floridian is but a short boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom. They've got several restaurants to choose from.

Definitely check the menus on allears. Gives you a good idea of pricing as well as menu choices.

Happy travels!

California Grill at the Contemporary would be my first choice but any of the sit-down restaurants at the Contemporary, Polynesian or Grand Floridian are easy to get to on the monorail.

Another vote for California Grill. Food is very good, and if you are there at the right time, you go out on the viewing deck and see the fireworks at Magic Kingdom.

Any of the restaurants at Wliderness Lodge, The Contemporary, the Polynesian or the Grand Floridian would be easy to get to. check allearsnet.com.

There are lots of table service restaurants at Epcot if you're willing to head over there. We enjoyed our dinner at the German beerhouse. Dinner in Mexico was good, but not great.

If you choose to visit a restaurant inside another park, you'll have to pay a day's park admission or use a Park Hopper pass to enter. All of the EPCOT international restaurants are inside the park.

The California Grill at the Contemporary, Citricos at the Grand Floridian, and Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge are all good options.

In the MK itself we have eaten at Cindarella's Castle for dinner twice. Not a character meal - we enjoyed both dinners. We've also eaten at the Liberty Tree Tavern which is a character dinner. I thought the food was pretty decent. Ohana's at the Polynesian is fun for families but it does have a view of the fireworks with the music piped in. Not sure if two adults would enjoy it but they do have very nice adult cocktails in fresh pineapples.

Meant to mention that there is no alcohol served in the Magic Kingdom itself, so if you like wine or a cocktail with your dinner you should head to one of the hotels on the monorail (Contemporary, Polynesian and Grand Floridian). Wilderness Lodge is a relaxing boat ride away.
