2 Best Restaurants in Walt Disney World Orlando, Florida

With an ambitious menu that's fundamentally American—with influences of Tuscan, Provençal, and Spanish-Mediterranean cuisine—this Grand Floridian restaurant is one of the resort's best dollar-to-dining options. Standout entrées include Florida Cobia with mashed fingerling potatoes and local mushrooms, house-made rigatoni, and roulade of chicken with a corn cake. The wine list, one of Disney's most extensive, includes vintages from around the world. Save room for dessert: Citricos has an extensive list, all made in their dessert kitchen.  The Chef's Domain private dining and wine experience is great for larger groups as tables seat up to 12.

A massive brick structure that, according to Disney lore, was the original power plant for the town of Disney Springs, now houses The Edison, an entertainment arena of more than a half-dozen distinct and richly themed rooms where food and drink mingle with palm readers, aerialists, contortionists, and other sideshow acts. The steampunk decor includes a massive clock in the main lobby and a dramatic, working steam engine. The daytime menu reinvents bar food like signature burgers, hawker-style lamb balls, and the whimsical candied bacon strips hung on a miniature clothesline. After 10 pm, a dress code goes in effect as the space becomes an over-21 club with dancers and a live band powering up the power plant.
