    Default Recommendation for Lunch outside of Parks

    Looking for a Table Service lunch recommendation on property that will not require park entry. We are spending a lazy day before we go to MNSSHP, so we are open to checking out other resorts or really anything you guys think would be fun. It will just be me, my son (13) and daughter (10). They are not super adventurous eaters, but it seems like most Disney restaurants try to have something for everybody. We would like to try something new, so I have included places we have been: O'hana, Kona, Whispering Canyon, 1900 Park Faire, and Chef Mickey's. Thanks!

    I was really impressed with Boatwright's at POR. The food was very good and all of us enjoyed it. It's on our list to go back to on our next trip.

    Something that is easy access to MK would be great. I'd say the a Contemporary restaurant. Even just burgers by the pool. Or The Wave table service. If you have extra time to kill you can take the boat to WL and walk the nature trail by the lake before MNSSHP. I always like walking over to MK from the Contemporary. Then the Monorail back if you park there for lunch.

    One of our favorites is the GFV cafe. Food for everyone. We did not care for our lunch at the Wave.

    If you're going to MNSSHP later, I recommend eating at a monorail resort. I, personally, love Kona at the Poly, though the GF has some nice places too, like the GF Cafe.

    Grand Floridian Cafe is our new favorite "out-of-park" TS. Last year we ate dinner there on Mother's Day, and enjoyed it so much, we've decided to include it in all future trips. Everything, from our table location, to our amazing server, to the delicious food, was perfect. Only regret - waiting for so many years to finally eat here.

    We already have one lunch ADR for this year's trip, and will probably add a second one.

    I would head over to Animal Kingdom Lodge, dine at Sanaa, and take some time relaxing in the animal viewing areas and lobby. It's a great resort to explore, lots of great things to see, and it's remote enough to feel like a day out of the vacation hustle. There's a shuttle between Kidani and Jambo House, so you can actually check out both sides of the resort fairly easily. If the Sanaa menu looks a little daunting for less adventurous eaters, you could always do quick service in the Mara instead, lots of choices there. And you can bus to MK for the party from AKL.
