Disney Dining Master Spreadsheet

Disney dining

For 16 years I was a high school English teacher.  A few years ago I got the opportunity to move into the business department to teach Business Information Management (this is still my current “day” job).  In this position, I teach young people how to use Microsoft Office products, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.  In this position, I have developed a true love of spreadsheets, and NOW, I can use spreadsheets to showcase one of my other passions:  ALL THINGS DISNEY!

The spreadsheet that I have attached contains ALL of the dining options in the Walt Disney World resort.  WARNING:  it can be a little overwhelming for first time viewers, so let me explain how to best make sense out of this data:

  1.  At the bottom of the sheet you will find several tabs.  Each tab contains a different set of restaurants and their information.
    • MK (Magic Kingdom) restaurants
    • EP (Epcot) restaurants
    • HS (Hollywood Studios) restaurants
    • AK (Animal Kingdom) restaurants
    • Disney Springs restaurants
    • Resort TABLE SERVICE restaurants
    • Resort QUICK SERVICE restaurants
    • Signature Dining/Special Events
  2. Within each theme park tab, the different areas or lands are grouped and color-coded.  Each restaurant is identified according to type:  TS (Table Service); QS (Quick Service).  A few locations are considered “Lounges” where guests can find a variety of adult beverages.  These are also labeled. Character-dining experiences are highlighted, and all restaurants are labeled whether or not it accepts the Disney Dining Plan, and whether or not a reservation is required. **As a general rule, you should ALWAYS get a reservation for a TABLE SERVICE restaurant.  They very rarely have room for walk-in guests.  Also included in the spreadsheet is a price indicator, so you can get an idea of how much you should expect to spend at any given location.  Menu links can be found in the final column of the spreadsheet.
  3. After the theme park tabs, you will find a tab for restaurants in the Disney Springs area.  You will find this tab contains everything you need to know about the dining establishments in this part of the Walt Disney World resort.  Please note that there are no character meals in Disney Springs.
  4. The next two tabs list the restaurants that can be found at the various resorts throughout the WDW complex.  I included a column for “closest park/area” to aid in your planning.  If you intend to visit a particular theme park on a given day, you might prefer to choose a resort restaurant that is closer to that particular park.  Some of the best character meal experiences can be found at different resorts, so please pay careful attention to where these meals can be found.  You may also be interested in what quick service dining options you have at a particular resort prior to booking your trip.  The quick service tab (like all other tabs) contains links to the various restaurants’ menus, so you might use this information to help you make your choice of where to stay on your next trip.
  5. Finally, for those looking for a little something “extra” or “special” for your next trip to Disney World, the last tab contains all of the signature (most expensive) dining options as well as all of the special events such as the various dessert parties and fireworks/parade cruises held at the different theme parks.  Booking one of these experiences is sure to add some “magic” to your Disney vacation.
