All You Can Eat Buffet Sign Funny

Between the long lines, hot temperatures, thousands of steps, adrenaline rush-inducing rides and occasional thunderstorm, a day in the parks can be downright exhausting. While a DOLE Whip or quick-service meal will certainly keep you going, if you don't want to wind up hangry, there's no better way to fuel up for your adventures – and sometimes, put a dent in your budget – than with a stop at one of the many delicious Disney buffets or family-style restaurants.

But, which all-you-can-eat Disney World restaurant is right for your next trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth? Bring your appetites as we sample the best buffets and family-style restaurants Disney World has to offer.

All About All-You-Can-Eat at Disney World

While perhaps not as iconic as Las Vegas's legendary buffets (all that gambling makes you hungry), all-you-can-eat restaurants at Walt Disney World still dish up a satisfying dining experience. From palate-pleasing menus made with picky eaters in mind to a smorgasbord (literally!) of globally inspired eats, there's something for everyone at Disney World. Oh, and did we mention the Disney characters?

Sadly, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the Central Florida resort's all-you-care-to-enjoy restaurants were forced to close, cancel special appearances by Disney characters or change their format from buffet to family-style. Although a couple, like 1900 Park Fare and Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, remain closed, most Disney World buffets are back open, albeit with the possibly of a few changes.

Disney Buffets or Family-Style Restaurants: What's the Difference and Which Is Better?

Whether you're traveling with a group and need to please an array of appetites or you simply like a lot of different kinds of food, you can't beat all-you-can-eat dining at Disney World. When it comes to bottomless eats, restaurants at Disney fall into one of two categories: buffet or family-style.

Similar to a classic Golden Corral or Sizzler, Disney buffets offer a cornucopia of dishes, with so many options you're unlikely to try it all. In contrast, family-style dining at Disney World serves up a smaller selection of items all meant to be shared among the table, just like you would a meal back home.

So, which kind of restaurant is right for you? While buffets are great for groups with different dining preferences, paying for all that variety can be pricey, especially when there are Disney characters making an appearance.

Looking for quality over quantity? Not only do Disney family-style restaurants tend to be slightly more affordable, but since the kitchen can focus on just a few specific items, the food overall is usually a cut above what you'll find at the buffets. Of course, there are some exceptions. (We're looking at you, Boma.)

How Much Is All-You-Care-to-Enjoy Dining at Disney World?

If you're looking for a cheap meal at Disney World, all-you-can-eat dining isn't for you. For dinner, you can expect to pay anywhere between $30 to $60 per adult, while bottomless breakfast is slightly less expensive at around $20 to $50 per adult.

Luckily, for big eaters on a budget, you do have a few options for making your meal more affordable. Although an all-you-care-to-enjoy dinner can be a nice way to refuel and relax, they're also the most expensive. Want to see Disney characters? Prepare to shell out that extra cash.

So, for plenty of food without breaking the bank, skip the characters and save your all-you-can-eat dining for the mornings. Breakfast tends to be considerably cheaper, particularly when Mickey and the gang aren't stopping by. Plus, by filling up early, you can save some money by snacking your way through the rest of the day.

Can You See Characters at Disney Family-Style Restaurants and Buffets?

Yes, and it is magical! While it won't do your travel budget any favors, one of the best ways to kill two birds with one stone is Disney character dining . Rather than wasting time standing in line to see your favorites, character dining brings the likes of Mickey, Minnie, Chip 'n' Dale and the Disney Princesses right to your table.

Best of all, close-up Disney character meet-and-greet experiences are back, and that includes character dining. So, bring your camera and autograph book and get ready for lots of hugs. Unfortunately, as we mentioned earlier, some restaurants are still waiting for characters to make their triumphant return. These include:

Open Without Characters

  • Cape May Café at Disney's Beach Club Resort
  • The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom
  • 'Ohana at Disney's Polynesian Beach Resort

Still Closed

  • 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
  • Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at Epcot

Can You Eat at Disney Buffets with a Food Allergy?

If you have a gluten intolerance or other food allergy, you might be worried that a meal at one of the Disney buffets might not be worth it. After all, who wants to pay a lot for an upset stomach and an uninspired, allergy-friendly selection?

Luckily, those with dietary needs are more than welcome at Disney World's all-you-care-to-enjoy eateries. Just let your server know and they'll set you up with a chef-guided tour of the buffet, so you can see everything that's safe for you to eat. Plus, if you're lucky, they may even offer some special off-buffet dishes. All you need to do is ask!
