Luckily, we've got you covered—we've rounded up 30 of the best restaurants in Disney World so you can start planning your next magical vacation.

asTravel + leisure'As a theme park professional who has eaten at countless Disney restaurants, there are a few things I look for in a premium Disney dining experience. To compile our list of the best Disney World restaurants, we considered dining experiences that offer great food, great atmosphere, and the kind of Disney magic you won't find anywhere else. (For the sake of clarity, we'll stick to lounges, bars, fast food restaurants, and restaurants with table service, excluding the food stands scattered around the park). The result is 30 amazing dining options, from upscale restaurants with stunning views to memorable character meals with Mickey and friends to otherworldly bars and more, that everyone will love.

Before we head to Disney World's best restaurants, let's cover the practical information you need to know before you go. The following restaurants are located throughout the Disney World theme parks, Walt Disney World resort hotels and Disney Springs. You want to order as far in advance as possible to ensure you can eat when you want. The easiest way to book is on the Disney World app or website. If there are no reservations for the time and restaurant you want, don't give up hope. People are constantly changing their plans and canceling a day or two before to avoid any cancellation fees (applies to some restaurants), so keep things fresh. As a rule of thumb, I've gotten countless last-minute dining reservations at very popular places by double-checking for new openings.

No matter where you end up, picky eaters don't need to worry - Disney has plenty of kids' menus that your kids will love. Plus, there are more vegan and vegetarian options out there than there were 10 years ago, and in many cases they're great (even better than their non-plant-based counterparts). Many places also offer an allergy-free menu.

Get ready for your next magical meal—here are 30 of the best Disney World restaurants to try on your next trip.
