Is the food at WDW really any good?

missypie, I think you'll find the food at Epcot or the Disney hotels to be a fine choice when you've had too many counter meals. We live in the area, and sometimes eat at Epcot's Norway (it's a buffet -- like the smoked fish and the venison) and Morocco. Also, you might try the Disney Village area. That is where you'll find a lot of shops, restaurants, Pleasure Island, hotels, etc. If you have kids, the Rain Forest Cafe is fun (though it is a chain). At the Disney hotels, you might check out Victoria & Alberts at the Grand Floridian. So far, we haven't found anything exciting at Magic Kingdom to eat. Compared to restaurants elsewhere...I grew up in San Francisco, but I don't expect the same caliber of restaurants at this theme park, however large and world-renowned. You can, however, still find some pretty food food.

I'll be the flip side of this coin.
In the parks, the food is pretty good. Yes, it is expensive but I thought it was worth the price. I'm not talking about the nice sit down restaurants but grabbing a burrito in Mexico in Epcot or Fish-n-Chips at the pub in Great Britain. Even a hotdog at a walk up place.
One of the neatest dining experiences I've ever had was a private cocktail and dinner party inside the Haunted Mansion after the parks closed.
First they fed us margaritas in Frontierland then on to dining and fine wine in the mansion.
No bathrooms in the mansion so the employees made a human wall so we wouldn't wander off into the closed park (so load us up with tequilla and wine and think we won't try and hijack Space Mountain???).

GoTravel, you just reminded me of a favorite pastime -- "drinking 'round the World." Visiting the various countries at Epcot and having the appropriate refreshment, maybe an appetizer or light meal. Some good ones -- margaritas at Mexico, beer at Germany, beer again in England. Mexico has an outdoor spot right on the lake, a great place to people watch.

If it helps, I'd recommend checking out The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. They review each of the eateries and also give pricing and menu information. They also have a free trip planner on their site at http://www.touringplans.com/UG/index.php
