I’m a self-avowed nerd who loves charts. I’m a self-avowed Disney nerd who loves eating in WDW. What follows is my combination of these two things: a chart to help you decide where to eat when visiting Walt Disney World. I make no claims that this chart is comprehensive – for one thing, it’s aimed only at childless adult travelers to WDW – but hopefully you’ll find it an interesting thought experiment, and maybe even a useful tool for planning your next trip to WDW.  I know there’s a lot that could be added to this kind of chart, but my overarching goal was to guide you toward good eating options that are also good for the budget, whether you’re paying out of pocket or are using the Disney Dining Plan.

In the future, I might take a stab at a similar chart for families traveling with kids. Not having kids myself, though, I’ll hardly be an expert on the subject. Thoughts, suggestions? Please feel free to weigh in. (Click on the chart below for a larger, much more readable version.)
