Well, we’ve scoured our memory and pulled out fifteen meals we personally couldn’t get enough of and would highly recommend you don’t miss! Utensils ready? Let’s dive in!

15 – Gluten-Free Onion Rings at Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant

Ok, let’s kick off the list with what is not technically an entree, but our family personally gives meal ratings! This appetizer has served as a light meal for us on a few occasions – particularly for our Celiac family member. The onions rings at Disney Springs’ Raglan Road come in a gluten-free option. The best part is that even though it’s gluten-free, it still consists of that crispy battered layer surrounding the onion. Dip it in horseradish sauce or grab some ketchup, and you’ll be through devouring this plate in no time. Many Raglan Road fans will tell you the GF Onion Rings are even better than the regular ones!

14 – Fish at The BOATHOUSE

At a restaurant called “The BOATHOUSE,” you’d assume they’d have great seafood, right? Well, The BOATHOUSE at Disney Springs won’t let you down. We especially love the fish meals you’ll find at this popular eatery. While you take in water views and Amphicars driving into the water, check out one of the “Fish Features” meals, including Tuna and salmon. It’s fresh, cooked perfectly, and the atmosphere just adds that perfect touch.

Known as a “Spanish haven,” Toledo sits on top of the Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. There really isn’t a meal you can go wrong with at Toledo, but we will say the Tapas (while technically not an entrée) still make for one of our favorite Disney meals we’ve ever had. Order a couple of their Tapas to get your evening going, and you’ll find yourself filling up on goodness right from the get-go. The Flight of Four Pinxtos is our favorite Tapas pick with a variety of tastes. Pair their Tapas with one of their signature beverages while taking in the 16th-floor views of Walt Disney World, and you’ll truly understand the whole “Spanish haven” description.
