T-REX Restaurant – For A Dino-Loving Dinner

For young fans of all things dinosaur-related… oh, let’s face it: everyone loves dinosaurs. The gigantic critters and lush jungle landscapes of prehistory preside over T-REX’s American cuisine, like burgers for carnivores (the Bronto Burger and Guac-asaurus Burger, for example) and salads for herbivores (Jurassic or Caesar-saurus Salad, anyone?), plus plenty of discovery and fun facts waiting to satisfy any fossil fan.

Raglan Road™ Irish Pub and Restaurant – For Unleashing Your Inner Irish

Love a little song and dance to go with your supper? Join the pub! Raglan Road™ holds rustic charm, authentic Irish cuisine, and live shows from an array of award-winning Irish performers whose impressive dance moves have more to do with skill than luck.

Bongos Cuban Cafe® – For Dancing With Your Mouth Full

Step into the Old Havana-inspired architecture, including the biggest pineapple-shaped structure you’re likely to ever see, and get the party started! Cuisine and cocktails crafted from Cuba, like the Rum Runner or a pitcher of the Traditional Mojito, will spice up the night just as much as the live rhythms and dancing at Bongos Cuban Cafe®. Just stay on your toes, because you might be invited to stand up and join a conga dance line in progress!

Portobello Country Italian Trattoria – For Sneaking Romance Over Your Kids’ Heads

Ah, amore. And with Italian entrees such as gnocchi and housemade artisan lasagna, and bountiful glasses of wine to fill your hearts AND your bellies, you’ll feel romance in the air. Try to save room for modern takes on traditional desserts like the “biramisu” made of ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, or cappuccino gelato, a chocolate-coffee confection sure to give an unforgettable meal a big finish.

STK Orlando – For Making A Special Occasion Even More Special

Forget everything you know about steakhouses, because STK is reinventing the meat-and-potatoes approach with ultra-modern décor and an innovative menu. Order your steak however you like, but you’re bound to agree that this is a rare experience that’s very well-done.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar – For an All-New Appetizing Dining Adventure

When last we saw Jock Lindsey, he was Indiana Jones’ pilot, shouting, “Show a little backbone, will ya?” Jock’s newest pursuit? A brand-new cocktail bar full of drinks (Shorty’s Singapore Sling and Reggie’s Revenge are fun to drink AND fun to say) and appetizers (Tanis Tuna Tacos and Rolling Boulders Sliders will give Indy’s fans quite a mouthful). It won’t take adventurous globetrotters any backbone to try out this fun watering hole – just an appetite!

Amorette’s Patisserie- For Saying “Bonjour” to Your Just Desserts

What better way to bring an awesome Disney Springs day to a sweet finish than a trip to Amorette’s Patisserie, a pastry paradise straight out of Paris?

Frontera Cocina – For a Delicioso Dine-In or Fast Fiesta

If “bacon guacamole” doesn’t say “vacation” in any language, we don’t know what does!
