Table service
The Plaza Restaurant
The short answer
A sit-down lunch or dinner at the hub end of Main Street, U.S.A., with sandwiches, salads, burgers and ice-cream sundaes. Seven entrées average $22.57, about $9 less than Tony's Town Square across the street. The menu is the same at lunch and dinner, and it is bookable during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

Is it worth the money?
Yes. It is the practical sit-down meal in Magic Kingdom — cheap by in-park standards, easy to get, and at the end of Main Street, so you are not crossing the park to reach it.
It is about $9 cheaper than Tony's Town Square across the street. Tony's eight secondi averaged $31.50 on Disney's menu on 11 September 2026. The Plaza's seven entrées average $22.57. The trade is an Italian dinner for a diner lunch.
It is a good fallback for a lunch booked late. The menu is sandwiches and salads, it runs from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and nothing on it is over $27.
It is bookable during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Disney's page says resort guests could book party-night reservations from 3 September 2026 and everyone else from 9 September. That makes it one of the few places to sit down for a meal inside a party night.
Who it’s right for
Families wanting a sit-down break mid-park without character-meal pricing. Ice cream eaters. Anyone attending Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Anyone who wants a burger or a salad, not a themed experience.
Who it’s wrong for
Anyone wanting a themed or character meal — Crystal Palace and Cinderella's Royal Table exist for that. Anyone wanting a real dinner, which is a sandwich here. Plant-based eaters, who get one main.
What is actually good
Read from Disney's own lunch and dinner menus on 12 September 2026. They are the same menu at the same prices.
Seven entrées, $19 to $27, averaging $22.57. The Chipotle Barbecue Pork Sandwich is $19. A Chicken Waldorf Salad, a Triple Decker Turkey Club and a Chef's Salad are $21 each, and a Shrimp Louie Salad $22. The Bacon Cheeseburger and the Chili Impossible Burger are $27.
Halloween specials sit on top, and are not counted: a Skull Meatloaf at $27 and a Devilish Crispy Chicken Sandwich at $26, with a pecan-caramel cheesecake at $11. They are seasonal and will be replaced.
Four appetisers, $10 to $16. Soup, house salad and onion rings are $10. Plaza Loaded Fries are $16.
The ice cream is the reason people remember it. Hand-dipped milkshakes are $9, the Cookies 'n Cream shake $9.50, and the Original Banana Split $11.50 — three scoops, hot fudge, strawberry sauce, crushed pineapple, nuts, whipped cream and a cherry. Plant-based sorbet is $7.75.
Disney bands it $$, "$15 to $34.99 per adult". Every entrée sits inside that band.
Portions
Sandwich-shop portions with fries, and big salads. The banana split is three scoops, a whole banana and five toppings by Disney's own description, which is a lot of dessert for one person and shares easily.
Allergies and dietary needs
Straightforward. The Chili Impossible Burger, with plant-based cheddar, is the one plant-based main, and the sorbet is marked plant-based. Disney's allergy-friendly menu lists each dish against specific allergens and offers an allergy-friendly bun for the sandwiches and burgers. Pecans are in the Waldorf salad and nuts on the banana split.
