Dine with a View: The Best Scenic Restaurants at Disney World This Spring
I love visiting Walt Disney World in the Spring. There are blooming gardens, vibrant festivals, and perfect weather! It is also the perfect time to enjoy scenic dining experiences.

Walt Disney World has no shortage of amazing restaurants. Guests can enjoy everything from themed locations to character dining to a five-star Michelin experience.
But there is something special about springtime weather and taking in the beauty around you while dining.

California Grill – Disney’s Contemporary Resort
This restaurant is iconic! Located on the 15th floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, California Grill offers magical views of Magic Kingdom and the Seven Seas Lagoon.
It is truly one of the best and most popular restaurants for fantastic dining and amazing views.

The floor-to-ceiling windows provide an exceptional hot spot for the nightly fireworks display, and we love that the music is streamed inside and outside so you can be immersed in the entire experience.
MickeyBlog Tip: Reserve your table about an hour before the fireworks to enjoy your meal and then step onto the observation deck for the show.
Sanaa – Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge (Kidani Village)
Where do you go for rich flavors, a vibrant atmosphere, and one-of-a-kind views? You go to Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Sanaa offers two distinct dining experiences: the casual, quick-service Kuamsha Breakfast and a table-service lunch and dinner experience.
Sanaa combines the best of African and Indian flavors with a unique view of the Sunset Savanna. Enjoy your meal while watching for giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife.

MickeyBlog Tip: Request a window seat during daylight hours for the best chance to see your favorite animals.
Narcoossee’s – Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Located on the waterfront of this charming, Victorian-themed hotel, Narcoossee’s offers stunning views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and Cinderella Castle. Elegant and coastal-themed, it’s an ideal spot for a romantic dinner with a view of the Electrical Water Pageant and nightly fireworks.
MickeyBlog Tip: Time your reservation to coincide with the fireworks for a truly memorable experience.
Topolino’s Terrace – Disney’s Riviera Resort
Topolino’s Terrace offers great views and two distinct dining experiences, including a character breakfast, Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends, and a Signature Dining experience at dinner.

Topolino’s Terrace also offers rooftop dining with panoramic views of EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The elegant setting is perfect for both breakfasts and dinners.
MickeyBlog Tip: Dine during the evening to catch glimpses of multiple park fireworks from the outside terrace.
Spice Road Table – EPCOT (Morocco Pavilion)
World Showcase has so many great dining options, but when it comes to views, this is one of our favorite spots.
Spice Road Table
Spice Road Table in the Morocco Pavilion provides waterfront seating along the World Showcase Lagoon. The restaurant offers fantastic picturesque views, a Mediterranean-inspired menu, and a relaxing vibe that is perfect for Luminous The Symphony of Us.
MickeyBlog Tip: Sitting indoors is great when you need a break from the crowds and heat, but opt for outdoor seating at night for unobstructed views of the nighttime spectacular.
The Boathouse – Disney Springs
This is one of my go-to’s! The Boathouse boasts a prime location on the waterfront at Disney Springs, and nothing beats a cocktail at the outside bar.

Featuring a nautical theme and a menu of tasty seafood and steaks, the dockside seating offers serene views of the lake and you can watch the passing Amphicars zoom by.

MickeyBlog Tip: This location tends to be pretty busy at night! If you can, try to arrive before sunset to enjoy amazing views and the live music.
Coral Reef Restaurant – EPCOT (The Seas Pavilion)
So, not outside spring views, but definitely unique! Head to EPCOT and dine alongside a massive aquarium at Coral Reef Restaurant.
Dine on a great menu and watch sea turtles, sharks, and tropical fish glide by as you enjoy your delicious eats. The tranquil underwater setting offers a unique and chill dining experience the whole family will love.
MickeyBlog Tip: Request a table close to the aquarium glass for the most fun!
