Epcot's The Garden Grill Breakfast

The Garden Grill Restaurant in Epcot serves two unique meal periods, both are served family style (aka "all you care to enjoy"). Lunch and Dinner feature the same menu items (and cost), while Breakfast features it's own menu at a slightly lower price point. All the meal periods are character meals — with Mickey dressed in farmhouse ... ( read more ... )

Epcot's Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

Epcot's Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

The Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot's Norway Pavilion is a large-format (aka family-style dining) restaurant that's set inside Epcot's only castle. In fact, of the three castles that are located here in the four-park Disney World complex, I feel like Akershus is probably the most realistic. Be Our Guest at the Magic Kingdom leans a ...

Hollywood Studios' Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

I had a chance to stop by Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo for lunch the other day. I've not actually ever been inside this location or sampled any of their food, so this was all new for me, this time around. The exterior of the building is very nicely done… as is most of the Star Wars exterior areas at Hollywood Studios. The land in ... ( read more ... )

SeaWorld Orlando's Voyager's Smokehouse

I have visited Voyager's Smokehouse at SeaWorld a number of times over the years… my last review however, was in 2014, so it's probably time for another meal along with some words and photos. In a lot of ways — things haven't changed much at Voyager's. I'd still recommend it as one of the top couple of places to eat "quick ... ( read more ... )

Epcot's Connections Eatery

Epcot's Connections Eatery

Connections Eatery is Epcot's "Burger's & Pizza" fast-food location. There's some "world cuisine" words used in the menu descriptions… the French Bistro Burger… a General Tso Chicken Salad… but — it is, what it is. Every park needs one (or two). As such, Connections Eatery is located in a pretty good spot. If ... ( read more ... )

SeaWorld Orlando's Altitude Burgers

The Altitude Burgers location used to be Mango Joe's … same location, same building, but with slightly less seating and a different menu. This one is over near the "Wild Arctic" area of the park, right next to the Ice Breaker Coaster. This was my first time visiting since the location opened as Altitude Burgers. The concept is ...

Disney Springs' The Polite Pig

Review by Mealtrip | American - Barbecue
January 1st, 2023

Disney Springs' The Polite Pig

The Polite Pig, located in Disney Springs, is a counter service BBQ restaurant situated right where the "Lime Parking Garage" funnels guests into one of the main courtyards. It's a cleaver location, that has you smelling wood-fired smoked meats just as you enter Disney Springs. At peak dining times, the line here can get quite long ... ( read more ... )

Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel's Swan & Dolphin Food and Wine Classic

I've been to five or six of the Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic events over the years. They're a lot of fun… but like most things these days, they are a little different then when they first started. Rather than writing a normal review — I thought I'd jot down some thoughts I came up with when trying to answer my own ... ( read more ... )

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel's Harbor Nights La Dolce Vita (Previous Format)

Harbor Nights is a series of dining events that take place several different times a year at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, each with a slightly different seasonal twist that shows up in the food, wine, music and decore. The "La Dolce Vita" event takes place right at the start of autumn, (which does't really mean much here in Florida ... ... ( read more ... )

SeaWorld Orlando's Expedition Cafè

It's been a loooong time since I visited SeaWorld’s Expedition Café… almost seven years in fact. So it seems like a good time to pop in and see if anything has changed. This had been one of our top three dining locations at SeaWorld. Back in the day, three distinctly different culinary styles were represented — ... ( read more ... )
