What are the good restaurants at Epcot and Hollywood Studios in Disney?|154574

Is the restaurant where you sit in car seats any good? Has anyone ever eaten there?

There are a few restaurants in each park that are very good places to eat. Here are a few of our favorites:

Disney Studios:

Sci-Fi Drive in - eat in cars while watching old sci-fi movie footage. Food was great, price not outrageous (as compared to other Disney restaurants), and the atmosphere was really cool. We ate here when we visited in March, and my kids loved it.

50_s Prime Time Cafe - Eat in a kitchen with _Mom_ or _Auntie_ as your server. Better eat all your veggies and keep your elbows off the table, or you will hear about it. Food was good, pretty much what you would expect from a 50_s type restaurant.

Hollywood Brown Derby - Signature dining for Disney. More of an upscale place to eat. Good food, but more of a fancy meal than a fun one, in my opinion.

Mama Melore_s Restorante Italiano - Outstanding italian food, Great atmosphere.


Epcot:
Le Celier - Canada - Good steakhouse. The food was excellent and the price was not as bad as I expected, for a restaurant on Disney property.

Nine Dragons restaurant - China- some of the best Chinese food that I have ever had. Nice selection, decent prices.

La Cantina De San Angel - Mexico - Excellent for Mexican cuisine, and I am not a big fan of the spicy food. You sit along a waterway and eat with an exploding volcano in the background. One of our top 5 in all of Disney.

Biergarten restaurant - Germany - I love German food, and this buffet was worth every penny.

The only restaurant I do not recommend in Epcot is the Electric Umbrella or the American Pavillion in the U.S.A. These were not so good when we tried them, food was dry an pretty tasteless, not worth the money.

Those are our favorites for the places you asked about, but there are a whole bunch more. I would suggest checking out the disboards. The disboards is a message boards website all about going to Disney. You can get restaurant reviews and suggestions, resort reviews, tips for avoiding crowds, and more info than you can possibly imagine. I would also check out the Disney website and use their dining finder. Tons of info there as well.

Hope this helps, have a great trip!

Sci Fi Dine In, was the only other resturant that my two year old nephew would sit still and behave in (Crystal palace being the other). There is alot to see in there. Otherwise when i was there in January the Brown Derby was extremely nice (great bartender too) we purchased the option where you had reserved seating for the fireworks too. If you are with kids the Hollywood on vine it a great character dining, and offers more of the buffett style. as for epcot, the resturant in Mexico is really nice, and so it the yakatori house.

I Would Suggest you and your family go down to Downtyown Disney, which I believe is close to Epcot, there is plenty of shopping and dining.. Including, Rainforest Cafe, McDonalds, Plant Hollywood, and More.. and there is this one super nice place, i forget the name of it, but its beside Planet Hollywood, is super nice, but highly over-priced, we ate their this past summer, For me, my brother, Mom and her bf, it was like $130.00.. but if you can afford it, I WOULD SUGGEST GOING THERE..

Sci Fi Dine In- MGM, Cost: Medium, Grade: A+. I love Sci Fi, for the feeling, and the food is good. You sit in _Drive In_ cars, or Flying Sauser chairs, and they play movie previews from movies in the 50s and 60s. It_s a lot of sun, aspecially is you have children, 6+. Younger ones might not like the dark, and some images of _Monsters_ but they do play cartoon- space related things, like the cat who hates people, and tom and Jerry.



Le Cellier: Epcot: World Showcase: Canada: Grade A: Our family usually goes to Le Cellier once each trip. The prices are fairly high, but just as much as you might find at some place like Longhorn (I think that is what it is called) It_s a steak house, so you have to reason prices. Kids can get the usuall Disney favorite, chicken or hotdogs, but they can also get a kids steak. The feeling there is so cool. You are litterally underground, so it is colder, but it is very nice there.

World SHowcase: Pigging Out Around The World, as we like to call it. There is a resteraunt in every country. Some are sit downs and some are sit downs, or take outs. If you don_t want reservations take your time and see what each country has.

Hope this helps. If you need help planning, send me an e-mail!

(Downtown Disney is 15+ minutes from Epcot and MGM..... and it takes forever by bus, sometimes an hour with all the stops!)

I think you mean the Sci-Fi Restaurant at Hollywood Studios..and yes it_s GREAT! I love their chicken caesar salad! I go to Disney every year and that_s one place I make sure to stop at.

Also I really like the Japanese restraunt at Epcot. I am not sure what it_s called. I am sure you can find it!

The Sci-Fi Drive in is the one in Hollywood Studios. You sit in _cars_ under the stars watching old Sci-Fi movies at a drive in. Yes The food is good, and the atmosphere is fun.

We were just there at the end of May but make reservations! or the wait is long. Also try a shake...very thick and good.

Have fun!
