We ate at Palio this past summer. It was GREAT. Delicious food, wonderful service and great atmosphere.

We always go to Wolfgang Puck express- in Marketplace and Downtown Disney Westside-when we want to sit outside and eat inexpensively-they also have a cafe and restaurant at Westside which are probably good too-we go to Disney a lot because we live in Fla and have annual passes so we try to find some cheaper places to eat. Agree with previous comments about Norway at Epcot-great buffet and especially good deal at lunch-but during the wine/food fest we just nibble our way around Epcot which is more fun than a meal. Artist's Point at Wilderness Lodge is good-but if you want something quick there the snack bar has really good chili. We like the fast food cafe in Morocco also and Spoodles on the Boardwalk is good-also, good chili at the ESPN club
Have fun

I didn't think the food at Disney was outrageous either. I was also grateful that every restaurant we ate at, no matter how fancy, had a kids menu. If price is an object and you want to try several restaurants, just plan to eat your main meal at 3:30 or 4. You still get great food, but you get it before the evening price hike and you get a more leisurely meal as there are fewer people looking to eat at that time.

We enjoyed Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge, and in my opinion it's worth the trip just to see the lodge itself. We also love eating at the seafood restaurant in The Living Seas at Epcot.

I have to say that there were some restaurants that had decent food, (Flying Fish, Morocco was actually good), but be aware that Disney considers a child under 11! My 12 year old is picky, and wouldn't eat anything off the adult menu. When you make a reservation, they will ask the kids ages. If your conscience can take it (I had no problem), tell them 11 unless you want to be given an adult menu for your child. I think it's quite a racket.

Just got back from Disney and had a wonderful time. It was incredible to experience it through our daughter's eyes. Wanted to thank everyone for their input re: restaurants. I have to say we were pretty dissapointed with most of the meals. Wolfgang Puck Cafe and Spoodles were the best of the lot. I found most of the food mediocre at best. But who cares? We truly had the time of our life and allowed ourselves to be kids again for the weekend.
