The air is getting cooler, there is a spine-tingling aura surrounding Orlando for solo travelers ready to descend upon Universal for the Halloween season.

7 Best Disney Restaurants for Adults You Have to Visit

Are you trying to figure out what are the best Disney restaurants for adults?

Over the years, I have discovered that one of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to Walt Disney World is that it’s just for families or for children. This is how so many adults miss out on the fabulous opportunities here, especially when it comes to dining.

Little known fact that families can hire sitters to watch their kids in the hotel rooms while the parents go out to eat for some solo time.

For solo travelers or couples who decided to experience the magic for themselves without the kids, no need to worry. But then remains the important question,

“Where should we eat and not be surrounded by kids?” Have no fear!

I am a major foodie and have dined at quite a few Disney Dining options on property that are especially wonderful for adults and have a variety of Dining styles.
