Difficult Walt Disney World Dining Choices During COVID

Difficult Walt Disney World Dining Choices During COVID

More guests are deciding to return to the parks even though restrictions and restraints due to COVID-19 are still in play. With little expectation that such restrictions will change much over the remainder of the year, guests planning a visit in the months to come must make important choices as to how they dine. This is always a big part of the Disney theme park experience, but its relevance is even greater during this pandemic. Just which restaurants are your better choices during this period. Having been in the park nearly 75 times since re-opening, we look at those issues that guests struggle with, and offer insights as to what choices might be best whether its counter service or full-scale dining at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Red, Yellow and Green scores with comments and insights will help you as a guest determine your best culinary choices for your upcoming visit.
