Disney World has got some MAJOR secrets they’ve been hiding from you!

New character meet and greets that are totally free, how to walk up and get a table at the hottest restaurants, and how to get some seriously secret discounts — Disney World can sometimes play things too close to the vest. We’re here to change that. Get ready to learn about some juicy Disney secrets that you can take advantage of during your next visit!
It’s no secret that EPCOT has a lot of fantastic dining options. We talk about our favorites all the time. Thanks to the World Showcase, you can — quite literally — dine and snack around the world in EPCOT.
World Showcase
BUT let’s just take a moment to talk about those restaurants that we just don’t ever book, maybe because we don’t like their atmosphere, or we think they’re overrated or overpriced, or we just don’t think the food is that great. We’ve got three to tell you about that we just don’t go to, and we’re going to tell you why.
We are Disney Food Blog, and we have made it our job to want to lead you toward the best possible dining options during your trip.

However…we’ll also be honest and tell you when a restaurant really wouldn’t be worth your time, because we don’t want you to spend a ton of money on a meal and then come out disappointed. So we’ve done some hard thinking, and these are the restaurants we really think you should skip this year.
When it comes to great theme park eats, Disney’s World’s EPCOT is the place to be!
EPCOT
EPCOT is known for being a paradise for foodies. Featuring the famous World Showcase and its 11 pavilions full of unique and interesting dining options, as well as four seasonal festivals, EPCOT offers incredible food to match its outstanding attractions. However, not every EPCOT restaurant is equal and one in particular may not be worth its high prices.
Prepare for liftoff…

EPCOT
In EPCOT, you can find Space 220! Here you can take the Stellarvator up to the Centauri Space Station and dine in the cosmos. This spot is super immersive and offers a prix-fixe menu for both lunch and dinner. Space 220 has recently changed its children’s menu and we have all the details!
Disney World certainly comes up with some unique restaurant ideas.
You will soon be able to dine in space…for REAL
Just think about it: you’ve got Sci-Fi Dine-In at Hollywood Studios, a restaurant where you can sit in a “car” and watch old movies while dining on burgers and fries. Then you’ve got Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom that takes you on a culinary adventure worthy of the Jungle Cruise. However, the concept behind Space 220 in EPCOT might be the most unique because it takes you to “space” to dine among the stars. Well, here’s the thing — a REAL LIFE Space 220 restaurant is on the way.
Disney World is full of fun secrets and surprises!
Cinderella Castle
For example, we were recently just selected to pick the Director’s Hat of The Day over in Magic Kingdom! There is magic all around in the parks and sometimes you might not even realize that rides and restaurants have hidden details and secret backstories!
