How You Can Dine INSIDE a Disney World Attraction

Some Walt Disney World dining locations are attractions in and of themselves — looking at you, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Sci-Fi Dine-In, and Space 220! But there are a few restaurants that are actually located near or INSIDE a ride. If you’re looking for a little something special for your next trip, consider one of these options for a meal. There’s even a quick service location, so it doesn’t require a reservation!

Pinocchio Village Haus

If you find yourself feeling peckish in Magic Kingdom without a dining reservation, consider ducking into Pinocchio Village Haus. Offering fast-style subs, pizza, and salads, this quaint cottage setting is a classic Fantasyland quick-service option. Once you have your trays of food, check out the seating along the left side of the restaurant (or on your right, walking from the food pick-up area); there’s giant glass windows overlooking “it’s a small world”!

Garden Grill Restaurant

This is the coolest one on the list, in my humble opinion. Inside The Land at EPCOT, Garden Grill Restaurant is a character dining experience (Chip & Dale, and friends) offering all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style “harvest feast” dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The best part? The entire seating area rotates, offering revolving scenic views from the Living with the Land boat ride below.

San Angel Inn Restaurante 

Up for some Mexican fare set in moody twilight ambience? Our last option is located inside the indoor Mexico pavilion at EPCOT’s World Showcase: San Angel Inn Restaurante. Do you also get chills when you step into this outdoor/indoor pavilion? There’s honestly not a bad seat here. However, tables along the water side offer especially scenic views of a Mayan temple, glowing volcano, and boats gliding by from The Gran Fiesta Tour.

And there we have it — three restaurants at Walt Disney World where you can dine inside of an attraction! How niche! Have you been to any of these? What attraction would you like to see a restaurant added to?
