Ok. I need to be that guy. The challenge is the resort. You can’t say one and then eat at the others. That’s like saying I love my Saratoga., and you can walk to the springs and get anything you want. This all must be at the chosen resort only. This is why….and I can’t believe I’m saying this…Derek is correct.
Honorable mention to wilderness lodge ? And maybe boardwalk 10 years ago before everything closed and became a courtyard Marriott cafe.
I'm with you. Doing more stays with my husband nowadays where we don't spend much time in the Parks and I tend to think of what is literally in the building. So for me, AKL and Riviera are the tops. If I don't mind walking up to 10 minutes, then yes, Boardwalk resorts and Saratoga Springs make sense for us also.
This is such a niche show I love it. Imagine stumbling on this from the depths of you tube? It’s a trap😂
Hands down number 1 DVC resort for dining is Grand Floridian. The video talked about a lot of the offerings at the Grand Floridian however, didn’t say anything about 1900 park fair, the second pool bar, and being the only resort on Disney property to have in room dining.
Yall had me in stitches watching this 😂 Agree with Grand Floridian and that was my vote for all the same reasons Derek had. My number 2 is Animal Kingdom Lodge. This episode was great! I have not tried Grand Floridian Cafe yet but now I have to see if it’s as bad as it sounds lol 😂
I agree w/ GF, but I will say AK Boma breakfast and Sanaa dinner is a must do every trip.
Being able to get Dole Whips at Poly had to give it a couple extra votes alone.
We just put an offer in for a resale at Boardwalk following this after pondering on our home resort since retuning back to the UK last month, great video guys. PS we also requested Derek as our preferred sales partner. This will be our first DVC contract if all competes an we are mega excited, love all your content.
Wilderness lodge has so much to offer. Character dining I believe Story Book gives Topolinos a good match. Roaring fork is good quick service Geyser Point is also good. Whispering canyon is always a fun time and I think you can throw in Hoop-tie do Review to it as well.
I agree! I could (and have!) done entire 3-4 day stays and really never left the resort.
Grand Floridian and Animal Kingdom would get my votes
Jeff, you forgot you can get ice cream in the pool area at RR
And we were at BW May 5-9 and there were no food trucks
I'm with Jeff. I love the Crescent Lake area, next time you should combine Boardwalk / Beach Club / Yacht Club :) Grand Floridian is great too, but I'd rather stay and dine in the Crescent Lake area. BTW- Take me with you for the V&A dining review! :D
Grand Cal! Aulani (walking distance to Four Seasons next door, Monkey Pod, Longhi’s)! West Coast DVC!
I will always agree, AKL. Sanaa & Jiko for me
Great topic! We’re excited to branch out to other DVC resorts
Got a #soggyinthelobby 😂good job , Jeff!
I totally agree with Derek.
Best intro music! Always gives you a pep!
AK. Boma, Sanaa, and Jiko
Thx always. I love the Disney dining experience. 🌟
Behind Trader Sams, Enchanted Rose is our fav bar at a DVC on property. AKL and Poly have the best dining options all the way around, and I would rank GF higher but it is very pricey for the average family.
Our last few visits we have felt that the quality and taste of food at the 3rd party owned and operated locations have been better than the fully owned Disney locations...for example Raglan Road.
Thanks! Great show.
OMG. You guys. "I did the assignment as it was assigned"
Although I've never stayed, my favorite resort restaurant is Steakhouse 71, its a tradition to go on MK day for me and my partner. Also, ive only had bad experiences my 3 times trying Sebastians....im glad other have had a good experience. Maybe im just picky because i live in maine haha
“$450 quail egg…”😂😂😂
I've not seen anyone talk about Disney's chicken fingers. We found them to be very sweet. So sweet that they were off-putting. My kid doesn't eat sweets and he wouldn't touch them.
Jeff Haslam will talk about chicken fingers all day if you let him...
When there’s a somewhat consensus choice at #1 it’s more valuable to know people’s top 3-5. They mostly tried to do this with “for the sake of the show I’ll choose something else” but a future format of top-3 might be good.
When I’ve stayed at Saratoga, I would walk to Disney springs because the food options are “SMH” worthy. I agree with Amy; Grand Californian should have gotten more love. Napa Rose’s Chef Experience is amazing. You can walk to downtown Disney to get Italian(Napoli), Mexican (just opened), good Burgers, good craft beers, New Orleans style food at jazz kitchen including beignets, and soon to come Cuban style food at Porto’s. If you’re from the east coast and haven’t tried Porto’s, when you get a chance you’re going to love it. Their deserts are great. And of course Earl of Sandwich.
Thanks!
Grand Floridian has the most but like the offerings at Riviera the best at WDW. It has very good food choices and not spread out. However just made a trip to Aulani and was so amazed at the food choices that were all excellent! Even the counter service had really yummy food offerings for dinner!
I’m with Amy and her love of a good sandwich!
I’m going with The Boardwalk as #1
Turf Club served my wine flight in a trio of dirty glasses. Never going back.
I love Love LOVE my Animal Kingdom Lodge!!
I agree with Panda regarding dining at Riviera, but disagree regarding Saratoga Springs....the breakfast at The Artist's Palette has always been great! Lunch & dinner is not so great, but my daughter loves the pepperoni pizza! And Disney Springs is right there! I also agree with the poll....Animal Kingdom lodge has amazing dining options!
Recently went to Topolino at riviera, dinner, for the price we thought it was the worst restaurant we ate at.
We like Saratoga, both quick service and sit down.
I agree trattoria has the best coffe thank you jofferys
All disney food is becoming sub-par, unfortunately.
Disney really lowered their standards since it reopened in 2020.
Before COVID the Disney food was above-par.
I was actually pleased when they did family-style and did away with buffets. Chef Mickey’s was great! Now that buffets are back….yuck.
There are lots of great finds. Usually just cost too much for most people attending so they resort to quick service and low cost table service which are not good
Thats for sure. We have been to Pop to eat a few times since covid. Fake eggs for brealfast, and the gluten free chicken parm, what chicken? Just not good at all.
I felt Olivia’s gets too hyped. We went with high expectations and it was just ok for us. Maybe it was just an off day. The chicken was the same as we could get at home.
Agree pot stickers are delicious at Kona
I understood the assignment 😂
I'm a frugal girl, too!
I would probably add points at Riviera if my kids liked the food there.
So want to land, walk to magical express get dropped off at baylake or beach club stay at Disney, now have to get car and bang Disney bubble dissipates.
Amy was right! *I* voted for HHI…because they have great food within walking distance….and I didn’t want it to feel left out 😂
BIG improvement of the show compared to the previous version.
It's ben amazing sinnc joining the World of DVC 🌍
And the other show you were making fun of Paul for his references….you should count how many times Amy referenced sandwiches :)
The criteria of the food at the resort only mattering is wrong. If I was advising someone on where to stay for easy access to amazing dining options, and that was their priority, SSR is the clear winner due to the proximity to DS.
I love my Riviera BUT I sadly have to disagree with Panda on Topo for dinner. It is amazing for breakfast. The last few years Topo menu has turned into a one trick pony. It started with actual choices. Not so much any more.
Could you do me a favor? Can we discuss the big hole for the NO Food Festival at EPCOT July-Aug? We booked Food and Wine for August 20-25, which starts after we leave.
We actually discussed this briefly on our May 2024 DVC News Update Show posted last week! 🙂
I own at CC but I don't like Roaring Fork. When I stay there, I would order from Gyser Point. Whispering Canyon is fine.
I have to go with the GF for TS dining. But for QS, Captain Cook’s at the Poly all the way.
Boardwalk has to little options right now. With big river grill closed, The corn dogs stand closed and the cake bake shop still not opened it falls very flat. And I own at the boardwalk so I love the resort.
The draw is also using yacht, beach and swalophin resorts plus Epcot.
Once those other restaurants open up, boardwalk would be a serious contender.
Georgia peach watching now 🍑 🇺🇸
Omgosh!!!! GCV 🙌
TOTALLY agree with you Amy but I too, only thought about WDW resorts… 😮
Never understood the great eating at Disney aspect, I get it you got to eat and you're hungry, like you don't go to a nice restaurant and look for rides and I don't go to the theme park looking for great out of this world food...there's just no competition with the plenty of great restaurants in my big city hometown.
Walking? Saratoga hands down.
Arcades we're at BW, AK also
Grand Californian is my favorite DVC resort, full stop. So gorgeous, convenient, and as you say with some delicious food options.
Bay Lake Tower
You guys are knocking it out of the parks with the content!
Went to Sebastian's last trip. I was very disappointed. I don't know if it was an off night, but the chicken was dry, and I felt the food wasn't as good. Also they no longer allow you take take any left overs. We didn't order seconds, but weren't allowed 😢
that's terrible!
Is it all you care to enjoy/family style? I thought it was just straight TS...that is bizarre.
I agree that Grand Californian and Aulani don’t get the love they deserve! As a west coast DVC members those two are highly underrated.
I typically leave the parks to eat at the grand Californian. Craftsman’s Bar & Grill is my favorite restaurant on property hands down!!! Also the Disney Princess Character dining at Napa Rose is by far the best character dining you can find anywhere. The food is amazing, the character interactions are the best, it’s very small and intimate and they truly make you feel like a princess. DGC reminds me of old school Disney with the amazing customer service and experience. Plus as Amy said you are so close to Downtown Disney and they are putting so many new great places to eat there.
22 minutes in and no mention of Polynesian???
Monkey pod out does any DVC restaurants at the resorts, I would no longer recommend Roy’s just down the road, it used to be excellent but in January it was the worst meal we had on our trip. The wait staff wager at but the food was just overcooked
Grand Floridian Cafe is one and done. Worst sit down meal I have had in any Disney resort.
Agree with Derek. Grand overall is the best and even when considering proximy to more it wins. Boardwalk area is a location that's great but the resorts themselves are very weak.
Turf Club lounge has the best burger on Disney property.
Everyone raves over it, but the chicken and waffle at Grand Floridian Cafe was a disappointment to me. I guess my expectations were too high after hearing how amazing it is for so many years. First time trying it and I wouldn't rush back.
I'm with Panda on Riv. I've loved everything we've had there.
the WL dvc should b higher, Geyser has bison burger. had the meatballs from Cap Cooks at Poly and wasn't impressed, Ohana wasn't good either. AKL has Boma and Jiko, not that impressed w quick service and the bread at Sanaa didn't seem as good last time. Boardwalk does have FF which had a good steak last year.
Bw???? there is not much of anything actually at BW😢 staying there and wanting grabbing food right there without sit down? There is nothing
Yeah, it's pretty shocking being a deluxe resort and all. I guess they figure everyone can eat on the Boardwalk or surrounding resorts.
