READERS' COMMENTS ABOUT WALT DISNEY WORLD
DINING
EATING IS A POPULAR TOPIC AMONG
Unofficial Guide
readers. In addition to particip-
ating in our annual restaurant survey, many readers like to share their thoughts with
us. The following comments are representative of those we receive.
A reader from Glendale, Illinois, had a positive experience with Disney food,
writing:
In general, we were pleasantly surprised. I expected it to be overpriced, generally
bad, and certainly unhealthy. There were a lot of options, and almost all restaurants
(including counter service) had generally good food and some healthy options. It's
not the place to expect fine cuisine—and it's certainly overpriced—but if you under-
stand the parameters, you can eat quite well
.
We've received consistent raves for Boma—Flavors of Africa:
Please stop telling everyone how wonderful Boma is, because I love it so much there
and I don't want everyone to know the secret as it's already difficult to get a table!
Prime rib and Zebra Domes—yum!
A Lombard, Illinois, mom underscores the need to make Advance Reservations:
Please stress that if you want a “normal” dining hour at a specific restaurant, call
them 90 or 60 days in advance—IT IS WORTH IT! One reservation I wanted to
change about two weeks before our arrival date, and I had a choice of dinner times
of either 7:45 or 9 p.m. (not feasible with little ones).
A Greenwood, Indiana, family had this to say:
The food was certainly expensive, but contrary to many of the views expressed in the
Unofficial Guide,
we all thought the quality was excellent. Everything we had, from
chicken strips and hot dogs in the parks to dinner at the Coral Reef, tasted great and
seemed very fresh

A family from Youngsville, Louisiana, got a leg up on other guests:
The best thing we ate were the smoked turkey legs
