When I want to Trattoria Al Forno, my little sister had to go to the bathroom with my mom, so I tagged along with them. When we came out of the bathroom we had EXACTLY one of those “right place, right time magical moments” that AJ always talks about! When we walked out, we literally bumped right into Flynn rider as he was just about to walk into the restaurant area. My lil sis is OBSESSED with Flynn and that’s the whole reason we ate there!!! He ended up holding her hand all the way from the bathroom to our table at the far end of the restaurant! EASILY the most magical moment we have ever had at Disney World, and my sister was so happy!!!!!

Tusker and Garden Grill were two of my very favorite character meals when I was there. I knew I had gone over the edge and lost my cynicism when I started showing Pluto pictures of my dogs. :-D

I am so glad they have decided to keep you as the host exclusively. The dude was alright, but you are the money. Your voice over is top shelf and I hope they are paying you handsomely.

We tried drinking around the world once. I think we made we made it to Germany before we had to abort the plan. We were sh*t faced to say the least.

Our most memorable meal was at le chefs in France. The food was great and it was nicer dining and kid friendly. The waiter treated the kids like they were grown ups. They felt so special

We went to Garden Grill in Nov 2019 based on you guys' recommendation and we loved it! Thanks AJ and DFB!

Just got back tonight from 8 days at the poly.... had breakfast at ohana for a party of 5... $190. Same food (except for pineapple bread) at the quick service for 50.

Snacking around the world is my favorite! We’ve done that twice during Flower & Garden. The second time, I watched DFB’s videos & used their lists to create a plan & reduce our stress. So much better to walk in with a plan!

AJ the Garden Grill was really good but if you have people who get severe motion sickness this is not a great place to eat. My family has 3 people that have this problem and it was not a good experience. Even though it does move slow they were not able to focus on anything because it moved.

My family has staple meals that we always MUST have every year during our annual trip: • California Grill with Ryan, the server we've known for _yeeeears_ • Teppan Edo for my mom's birthday dinner • Boma • Via Napoli for the only pizza my mom's food sensitivities can handle • Yachtsman Steakhouse with Beverly or Thomas • and Morimoto Asia is the newest addition

For my birthday this year, I'm gonna cook myself my favourite Disney foods at home, since I can't go to Disney World for my birthday. But I'm gonna make myself a big cinnamon roll and a Nutella waffle sandwich for breakfast. I will probably recreate some shrimp and pineapple skewers like you get at Ohana and then some loaded bbq tots for dinner. If I can't go to Disney, at least my chefs education can come in handy ;)

Absolutely love ohana for breakfast! We went recently and Pluto is now a photo op either before or after your meal not sure if it was just that day but he’s not coming over to tables anymore like Mickey, lilo and stitch! One of the best restaurants for breakfast and dinner!! highly recommend 👏🏼

My mom and I went to Takumi-Tei for the first time a few weeks ago and it was by far the best dining I have ever experienced. The service was phenomenal and the food was absolutely amazing. Worth every single penny. We don't get to go to Disney very often but it has become our new tradition to eat there sometime during each visit

We went to Garden Grill for breakfast last year and it was amazing! Saw the characters multiple times, food was gorgeous and more than enough to fill us both up for the day. I'd definitely do this one again.

Morimoto is amazing! Even my picky teenagers talk about it being their favorite place in all of Disney!

Recently did the Trattoria al Forno character breakfast and had a great time with the characters and the food was exemplary. What a great recommendation! (it's substantially cheaper than others, too)

Snacking around the world during Festival of the Holidays turned out to be one of the best deals.. Utilized my snack credits very efficiently.

My favorite is absolutely Monsieur Paul. Fantastic service, usually quiet. The seclusion is impeccable after long walks around the parks.

My mom always says you can make a meal out of appetizers!

I took my Cinderella Castle obsessed son to the Cinderella Royal Table for his 9th birthday. It was a cherished childhood memory for him. It felt truly magical! What a gorgeous castle!

ALWAYS the VOICE of the Magic AJ. Another wonderful informative video

Trails End at Disney's Fort Wilderness is the best brunch I have ever had in my entire life!!!

Garden Grill is the best. Love it♥️

Garden Grill is excellent. It is our "must do" every time we go.

Had the best allergy experience at Tusker House, I asked a worker if something had my allergen in it and he took the time to bring me around to each station to let me know what I should steer clear. Really appreciated it

I loved the character meals and the characters are superfriendly, even with adults. I had everyone on the list but Ohana and here is a rundown of them: -Cinderallas Royal Table: Great show and great experience even if I was jetlagged and supertired those princesses make you feel like a king or queen. If you have little ones and can pair it with the bodaboo boutique experience youre princess lovers would love it! I saw many dressed up kidos and the princesses seamed to love it as much as the kidos and theyre family. -Akershus: Is in the Norwegian pavilion and has a great selection of Scandinavian food but has the same famous five group of princesses that CRT had so its a great option if you arent able to get that experience. It is also next to where Anna and Elsa has theyre meet and great so if youre little ones love Frozen its a must. There is also a number of meet and great options with princesses in the different lands in the World Showcase so even if youre kidos are not explorers they might want to meet those princesses. -Tusker house: The best character meal in Animal Kingdom and I loved that it was a buffé. You can meet the fab five fur characters like in a somewhat calm and relaxed atmosphere cause the rooms are fairly small and not lot of people at once. -Notebook diner: A great way to meet the only villain at the park together with Snow White and two of the dwarves whom in itself make they experience worth it. Like Al forno its not in a park so its great for an off park day. -Al Forno farewell dinner: Was great and it was great fun to meat the princes among with theyre princesses and its a thing I wish more character meals could do. I had breakfast on my last day and its easy to walk down to EPCOT and World Showcase afterwards so thats highly recommended even if its hard to get to. I loved the character meals and a tip is that you can have a little candy gift to give to the characters with you. They love it and its a great conversation starter. Johan.

Oh this brought back such sweet memories. If God blesses me to go back I'd like to try homecomin and the steak house you mentioned. Great video 👍 Have a blessed week ahead.

Going to California Grill for the first time on my next trip and I cannot wait!! I went to the grand floridian cafe for dinner on my last trip and i can confirm that it is delicious.

We've eaten at most of the table service restaurants in Disney. Cinderella's Table had food that was "okay" and service felt rushed, but the granddaughters were in awe of the castle and meeting Cinderella. Was not impressed by Akershus but, again, princesses were the highlight of this meal. Have never been disappointed by O'Hana. Dinner at Be Our Guest in the library was fantastic, and meeting Beast was a highlight. Rainforest Cafe has an extensive menu but food, to me at least, is really good. Chef Mickey's is standard buffet fare but the parmesan mashed potatoes are to die for! Again, having the chance to meet Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy were high points.

The board walk was amazing we didn’t realise it was a character one until we turned up lol . Akershus is amazing right by the frozen ride get there early :). Recommend ohana you get to see lilo and stitch :)

We went mid Sept and I am already dying to get back! Really liked Tusker House and Storybook Dining. Thanks for all the great suggestions!!

Made my day when I saw the Yorkshire Pudding!

Shhhhh Stop telling people about The Garden Grill, it's my favorite hidden gem.

The Enchanted Rose lounge soft opens this weekend so that’s a definite must try for me!

We were there yesterday (Oct 4) and ate at Citricos in The Grand Floridian. Such a wonderful experience and delicious food. Will def go back. We spoke with the manager about Victoria and Alberts. He said the per person price was 235 with the 150 wine pairing and Chef's Table is now 250. A bit steep for my pockets, but still on our bucket list! Thanks A.J. Big Hugs

Victoria & Albert’s was the best dining experience I’ve ever had. One of these trips I want to go there again. Would love to do the chef’s table next time.

I’d love to hear restaurants or things to do when you’re going by yourself. I’m going by myself 4 days earlier than the rest of my family and going to the Disney parks alone, so I would love some tips on where to go and how to make most of the experience! Also love all your videos AJ ❤️

i loveeee ohana and haven't been there in a really long time but i remember their dinners being AMAZINGGG

I remember dining at Be Our Guest for breakfast because it took a quick service meal credit, and loved it. But I learned to pre-order before arriving so I didn't have to wait in line to order. And going solo meant I got to enjoy all the pastries on the plate.

Hi AJ, We watch your videos as soon as they pop up; I LOVE THEM!!! I go to Disney World every 6 or 8 months. So I pretty much match up my picks with yours. I have 7 kids, ages 21-34, and a fiance. Different likes and allergies. We never tried Garden Grill until you mentioned it..and now we LOVE it!! Going next week for the Halloween party and Food and Wine and doing Garden Grill again! We always do 1 signature restaurant as well, I will try the brunch thing...sounds good. One trick we do use is, if we don't use all of our snack credits, then we buy the package snacks to take home and put in our lunches to bring some Disney to work with us. A fun reminder of our trip. Thanks for your videos! We Love them. See YOU real soon, AJ!! Your pal, Maria😃

I would to totally recommend going to the whispering canyon it’s delicious

we are going in december!! so excited!!

I never knew they had brunch at Disney, so thanks for that. The Homecoming restaurant sounds yummy. I will have to try that next time I go.

Garden Grill yes. Homecomin’ brunch, yes. The one that I think gets overlooked is Ravello. One of the best character meals I’ve ever done. Yes it’s a pain to get over to the four seasons. But, the character interactions are probably the best of character meal you can get and there is a photo pass photographer. Plus if’s easy to book. Highly recommended.

Several years ago my sister took me and our other sister to Disney World as a Christmas gift...neither of us had ever been. We were not on a meal plan and were not planning ahead for meals, but decided the evening of the 23rd to see if an upscale restaurant might possibly have an open reservation for Christmas Eve. We did not have high hopes, nor did the young man at Guest Relations...the amazement on his face to find a table available at Le Celliere was priceless, he even called over a co-worker to show it to them.

You guys mention California Grill a lot, but never mention that they offer a Sunday brunch. I would love to know what you think of their brunch.

Doing brunch at California Grill on our upcoming trip! I've never done a brunch at Disney before and can't wait!

Love following you. It’s always been fun for me to snack my way around World Showcase. I love the parks, but quite often just spend the day at Disney Springs. Shopping, a movie and awesome restaurants. I usually can’t leave without visiting Winebar George. Great wine and awesome guy. He often greets guest and loves sharing his years of knowledge.

The upscale restaurants are okay, but my two favorite restaurants are Jambo at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Tusker House at Animal Kingdom Park.

I've done all of those except the signature restaurant. I know Disney is expensive, but I have a hard time justifying those prices for food. My family prefers to grab something quick at a kiosk and have more time for rides. Maybe someday, though!

Tusker house was my favorite Character meal until now...Storybook Dining took the #1 spot now! Tusker house is still great and yummy and fun..but Storybook w/ Cinderella Amazing

It would be cool if you guys could do a “snack/deserts that are lactose intolerant friendly” list!

We booked Tusker House on our honeymoon, not realizing it was a character meal, it was one of our favorite memories from that trip and the food was delicious!

Not food related but would love to see some reviews on Disney spas...not much on you tube on Senses or Mandara!

Takumi-Tei amazing food, we did the Omakase 7 course meal. Love it great experience it was good to know the prices.

Morimoto has a lounge as well. We've caught that one a few times. I think it opens at 5 if I remember correctly.

I ate at Takumi Tei last month because my sister came down and had planned out her birthday week extensively from watching your videos and additional research. It was very nice, low key and yummy. She got ordered the tasting menu and I got an entree and dessert. It was very delicious, the atmosphere was great and service divine. There is a discount for passholders on food (not tasting menu) which helped bring down the cost a little. It is definitely a fine dining experience. You can take the family but I feel like adukts would appreciate it more.

The view from California Grill was great. However we had a better meal and better service at Citrico's.

Tusker house, Ohana, and Garden Grill are in my top restaurants I love in Disney.

“If you wanna stretch those pallets...if you wanna have your kids try some new food...” *Immediately shows eggs, bacon, waffles...* Lol

Could you possibly do a video on just the brunch options?

I love garden grill. It’s a must every time, me and my partner don’t do fancy, so this is a great special meal for us. Plus I get to meet mickey without lining up in the parks 👍👌😍 I deffo want to try la cellier though for that soup and poutine!

At Le Cellier, the restaurant is divided into the Canadian provinces. Be sure to ask them which province you're sitting in! At Garden Grill, you can see into the upstairs bedroom of the farmhouse from Living With The Land. (Spoiler: nobody is there.) AJ, you still need to talk to the CMs at Akershus concerning pronunciation...

I ageee on all of them except garden grill because we just ate there about 2 weeks ago and the menu had changed and was not as good as it used to be.

I got to go to the adventure breakfast with rapunzel and flynn for my birthday this year and it was amazing!! not only are the princesses and princes super amazing to meet (tangled is my favorite) the staff was spectacular and the food was too!! 100% gonna go back and do it again!!

Sitting in Wilderness Lodge watching this, waiting to go into Storybook

Biggest surprise for us was Yak and Yeti inside Animal Kingdom. A bit greasy, but it was so good.

Late lunch at Tusker House, 12/2017). Crowds were not bad, so lots of character time. The African side of the buffet was a great warm up for dinner at Boma the next day (why travel half way across the country and just eat what you can get at home?).

Back in the day (~199x). The corel reef had a ham, and halibut with a Japanese salad. I would love for it to be back again, when and if i go back. Every time since 2001 it was not on the menu. 😿

We love eating brunch at The Wave! Fantastic buffet!!

Love Teppan Edo. Such a fun show and yummy food!

Heck I did the Garden Grill 20 years ago when I was a kid!

Love your videos!! You should make one about the vacation club

Aj wondering what cheese soup you would recommend more. I love cheese/beer cheese soup...the one at board walk or les celier at Canada pavillion?. Ps. I absolutely love your videos and watch several a day. Love your unbiased reviews. Congrats on 10 yrs🏰🎊 keep them coming😉

I agree about Le Cellier! Great food!

Personalized recommendations are difficult. How about your favorite meal in each park and hotels? Or bargain eats everyone should know?

I've never done a sit down restaurant in Disney as many times as I've gone there because it's already so expensive (hotel/park tickets) but my next trip I'm going to yak & yeti thanks to you ! Can't wait

Your videos are great, and you may have previously covered this... but can you do a video on how to plan a disney vacation? The options for meals and activities and rides and sights are overwhelming, and everytime I try to start planning, I feel lost! Maybe cover how you set up your family's itinerary or how you would suggest a first time visitor do it? Thanks for all the great content and tips!

I like the way they put the gravy on the poutine... like it’s haute cuisine. That’s the Canadian equivalent of swirling the cheese sauce on ballpark nachos 😂

Character Meals are my jam. Garden Grill is a MUST, MUST do for me. We usually try to do it for breakfast and lunch or dinner when we go to the parks. Great food and amazing characters. Tusker House is another must do. Another one with great food and character interaction. Storybook dining is amazing. We just went about a month ago, and OMG the actor who played the Evil Queen was incredible. Good food as well. Skip Cinderella's Royal Table and do Askerhaus for breakfast. Much better character interaction in our many experiences and better food.

When we went to tusker house they had the most amazing curry shrimp I've ever had in my life. It was a little on the spicier side but I like that so it was awesome.

I was the first in my family to graduate from college, which my dad was _over the _*_moon_* about because he wanted just ONE of his kids to finish college and get a degree. Being the baby, I was his last hope, so to say. We went to WDW right after I graduated, and to celebrate my parents took me to Victoria & Albert's. It's _definitely_ a meal for extra special occasions and milestones, and it's an experience I will NEVER forget! I still have my personalized menu that says _"Congratulations on your college graduation!"_ at the top as well as the long stem rose in its box (perfectly dried because I hung it upsidedown in our room when we got back to preserve it).♥️

I'm going this year! I'm so excited I'm binge watching all if AJ's vids! Xoxoxo

we had: Le Cellier, breakfast at Tusker (loves Ohana’s), because of this video want to try California Grill (loves Yatch Club)

Got Character Meal covered. Snacking Around The World, check. WILL TRY DESPERATELY to persuade husband to do Brunch on our Free Day. Signature Dining will have to be on the next visit to WDW. Thanks ABunches for the tips as usual, Dearest AJ!

While I know there can always be that one time where things just don't go well at any restaurant, we were not impressed with our first visit to Storybook Dining back in August. We waited well past our reservation time to be seated. The server was fairly slow in coming over, then our main courses took forever to come out. Worst of all, 3 of us ordered the Prime Rib, and were really excited for it. However, when it came out, it was very disappointing. The entire plate was ridiculously salty. At first, I thought it was just the "au jus"....but in reality, everything had been overly salted. Might try it again, but given the other options at WDW, maybe not!

Could you do a video on snacking around the world when there isn't a festival? It sounds so fun to try but we always go in june.

Our wonderful travel agent just booked our stay for February 2021. Hoping to snag that coveted ADR for Cinderella's Royal Table, but won't let it ruin our trip if we don't.

I’m so early! AJ please do honeymoon/date night restaurants in WDW!

We were just in Disney at the end of September and did Cape May Cafe for breakfast and it was delicious . Definitely a lot less chaotic than Crystal Palace which we did the day before. The create your own omelette station was great. I wanted to do Trattoria al Forna just so my daughter could see Flynn and Rapunzel but we didn’t get to. However we walked a wrong way in Epcot and ended up catching them coming out to do a meet and greet. Both Flynn and Rapunzel. Unheard of. It was the best right place at the right time moment ever. We waited 10 minutes to see them

I would also recommend Crystal Palace for a Character Meal as they have Winnie the Pooh , Rabbit, Tigger and Piglet in a buffet setting!

Ohana is the BEST character meal. I may be biased because Lilo & Stitch is my favorite Disney movie, but my experience was much more than that. I had never been to Disney before and I didn’t know much about a lot of stuff, so my family was able to secretly book a breakfast there without me realizing it was a character breakfast. I lost my mind when I eventually saw Lilo & Stitch walking around. Me, a grown 20 year old woman, ended up crying cause I was genuinely surprised and overwhelmed. The stitch character hung out with us for five minutes, and even comforted me and wiped my pathetic tears haha. It was the most wholesome Disney experience possible. Not to mention, the food is great. :)

Tusker house was our favorite for breakfast. Went 3 or 4 times over the years with AP and Ohana was and awesome experience. I am going to treat myself to a high end meal at least once.

Addicted to your Channel 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

Brunch at California Grill is pricey, but oh so yummy. We got to go back and watch the fireworks, too. 😊 I’d love to try Homecomin’.

Absolutely LOOOVE Garden Grill, Ohana, and Crystal Palace. My WDW vacation isn't complete without breakfast with Pooh and friends. California Grill at the top of the Contemporary resort was also amaaaaazing- a true experience if you've never done! :)

I have the cookbook of all of those there’s so good

I went to garden grill and loved it

Love your videos please keep them coming
