You don’t need to be staying at a resort in order to dine there There is a common misconception that you need to be staying at a resort in order to dine there. Fortunately, that is not true. You do not even need to be staying on Walt Disney World property in order to eat in any of the resort restaurants. This includes everything from food courts to fine dining. Enjoy a restaurant at a resort where you aren’t staying, and explore the area a little bit while you are there. All of the Disney resorts are incredible and unique.
