Best Dining at Disney Springs – Sit-Down Service

September 5, 2024 · In: Disney World, Travel

Welcome back to my series where I am sharing my favorite Disney dining options! There are so many fabulous restaurants on Disney property, you don’t have to eat just basic theme park food. I have dined at a good amount of Disney’s restaurants, so I kind of consider myself a Disney Foodie! It’s no secret that Disney Springs offers some amazing dining options.

Today is all about sit-down dining at Disney Springs. Many of these options are eligible for the Disney Dining Plan, so I’ll be sure to note what does/doesn’t qualify. If you’re looking for quick-service, be sure to check out my previous post from this series where I talk about quick-service options at Disney Springs.

1. The BOATHOUSE

This is by far my favorite sit-down restaurant at Disney Springs – it may honestly be my favorite on Disney property! The food is amazing, the ambience is great, and the service is superb. I highly recommend their filet mignon sliders and chocolate cake, but you really can’t go wrong with anything. They have super fun cocktails, a raw bar, and tons of options for kids. It’s the perfect stop, no matter what your travel party looks like! The BOATHOUSE is Disney Dining Plan eligible.

2. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’

Looking for mouthwatering southern comfort food? Homecomin’ is the perfect spot! Featuring amazing recipes by Chef Art Smith, you must try this spot at least once. I personally recommend the thigh high chicken biscuits. They also feature a drink menu where some drinks are stronger than others, IYKYK. They also offer a fabulous brunch on the weekends. Homecomin’ is Disney Dining Plan eligible.

3. Splitsville

You may be reading this and thinking, Splitsville? Really? A bowling alley? Yes! It’s a little known secret – Splitsville has a vast menu with delicious food that the whole family will love. Their salads, pizzas, and sushi are all delicious! You also do not have to bowl in order to dine here, so I’d definitely give it a try. Splitsville is Disney Dining Plan eligible.

4. Wine Bar George

Wine Bar George doesn’t have the largest menu, but it is delicious! All of their appetizers are amazing and I love going on the weekends for their brunch. They also offer a lunch menu during the week, which is still on my list to try! Plus, you can’t go wrong with their extensive wine menu and getting expert recommendations from owner George Miliotes, Master Sommelier. This location is not Disney Dining Plan eligible.

5. Summer House On the Lake

To be honest, this is probably my least favorite of my top 5 – but I know many people enjoy this spot, so I wanted to make sure I included it on my list. This is a newer spot and I’ve dined here on two occasions. I’ve tried the chicken sandwich and the tacos – I definitely preferred the chicken sandwich. And while I personally enjoy Gideon’s cookies more than Summer House’s cookie selection, it’s nice to have an option where you don’t have to wait in a very long line to order a cookie. The vibe here is great and it is a good addition to Disney Springs! This location is not Disney Dining Plan eligible.

I hope this post offers some useful information to you. I always love trying new dining options, whether it’s a new spot or a new item from the menu. Disney Springs definitely doesn’t lack options. Let me know if there’s a spot you love – that is or isn’t on this list!

Thanks for reading!

xoxo

While this Christmas photo looks different than pl While this Christmas photo looks different than planned this year, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas surrounded by peace and love🫶🏼

My prayer is that next year brings the blessings we hoped and prayed for this year, whether those things are big or small.

I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @mo I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @morganjuliadesigns brand new Jersey City location on our way home from NYC🫶🏼 This only added about 20min to our trip which was well worth it!🪡 Such a beautiful shop with so many great canvases👏🏼

Some tidbits from our trip as a NYC first-timer🚕
 
We stayed at @omniberkshirenyc - overall we enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect (right in between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) and was a short walk to Rockefeller and Central Park. Only complaint is that the rooms were very hot (75*+). They also had valet parking that we utilized. We drove into the city and while time consuming it wasn’t as stressful/difficult as we had imagined. I’d certainly drive in again.

Our highlights were @therockettes and walking through Central Park. We walked everywhere with the exception of a boat ride we did. We booked a car through RideLux for that which I do not recommend, about equal service to Uber for 2x the price. 

The boat ride with Classic Harbor Line felt like it wasn’t worth the $100/pp price tag. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was neat, but that was about it. Also, if you get sea sick CHL is NOT for you! 

Shopping overall was underwhelming, but we did hit the classic FAO Schwarz which regardless of the long line this time of year was a must-do! We got there 10min before opening and only waited about 10min after opening to get in. 

As for dining we did some quick spots around the city including Springbone Kitchen - perfect for a fast casual but healthy meal - we did pick up and took it to our room! Ralph’s Coffee in UES was also on my must-do list and honestly it didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to the Paris and NYC locations now and both times it’s been delicious and the perfect drinking temperature, even if you do have to wait a bit. For dinner we got a same day reservation for BG at Bergdorf’s - the food and service were great and reasonably priced imo!

I’m so happy we got to experience NYC at Christmas as it’s been on my bucket list my entire life! I love a trip filled with firsts, since they’re what make lasting memories!✨

✨48hrs in NYC✨ Somehow at 27 I had still never ✨48hrs in NYC✨
Somehow at 27 I had still never been to NYC until now🌃 I’ve always dreamed of going to NYC as a little girl, especially at Christmas! Today dreams came true with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see @therockettes and it did not disappoint👏🏼 I’ll be sharing more tidbits from my trip over the next few days🚕

*also brownie points to whoever can tell me where this iconic townhome is from😉*

30 hours at the most festive place on earth🏰🎄

We booked this trip after my miscarriage so we could get out of town, even just for a night, and embrace ourselves in holiday magic✨ While nothing will take away the pain and heartache, distractions help the days pass faster🤍

Next week we’re off to NYC for a few days full of firsts!🚕 Defintiely nervous but excited for this bucket list trip✅
