The Most Immersive Restaurants in Walt Disney World

One of the things that makes Walt Disney World so amazing is the intense level of theming that Imagineers have created all around that fully immerse Guests in the stories being told. Guests could find themselves in Andy’s backyard with his toys, exploring floating mountains in the Valley of Mo’ara, or wandering the streets of Morocco all in one day throughout the four Disney Parks. This level of theming extends to dining locations as well, and some restaurants are so immersive that Guests are blown away with every meal.
