Trails End is awesome, I just wish they would bring back the buffet for lunch. Great buffet selection, off the beaten path, and usually quiet!

Back in the day (1997-2000) Trail's End was the cheapest all you can eat dining option. Just a nice boat ride away from MK and i loved the quietness in those hectic days in the parks. The food was decent but nothing near mouthwatering as you describe it. Maybe the food options changed, but as an european tourist i guess we are not that easily overwhelmed.

The Turf restaurant was great. We were there last month and it's a short boat ride from Disney Springs/Downtown Disney.

I am so happy you have Trails End Restaurant as your #1 listing. It has been my family's favorite now for almost 30 years, from when we stayed in the cabins in Fort Wilderness. I now have a winter place nearby Disney so whenever my boys come to visit, they always ask me to book Trails End for at least one of our night's out. If you leave there hungry, that's your problem, as it is one of the nicest buffets on WDW's property! Almost afraid to write this as I might not be able to get my reservation now, whenever I want to... :-)

My friend has severe food allergies and was treated like gold at pepper market. The cast members were very helpful, accommodating and extremely cautious. We love the food choices there and have never had any issues. We also have eaten at every wdw restaurant except Fulton's, Cinderellas royal table and trails end.

I do not recommend the Pepper Market. I've visited about 90-95% of the Orlando Disney restaurants. This is the only restaurant I've caught the help in a direct lie. The format is such you can see a great deal of the kitchen processes. I asked the help to do a simple task. "I have an allergy. Please change your gloves." I saw the person handle an allergen before I asked. I watched from that point until point of food delivery, no glove change. When I asked if he had changed his gloves, the person directly said he changed his gloves.

After that point we learned that not all restaurants on property are Disney run. As a general rule for the Florida Disney restaurants, they are held up to higher standards than the contracted restaurants. We have found out that this is not only the case for allergy support but general quality as well. Basically all restaurants have a problem now and then. It is the nature of the business. When you have a contracted restaurant on Disney property, you have a much higher possibility of the complaint being lost or just ignored by the contractor.

In addition, Pepper Market has a queer punch card system, unless they have changed recently.

I picked up items to pay at the register and have had people chase me down like I was sealing because I didn't get a punch from a particular station. Needless to say, I don't like being accused by action of attempted thievery, even by mistake. I haven't been back.

A better choice for the list have been 'Ohana, Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian, or Sanaa. These are table service restaurants like the other five restaurants in your list of 6. The first two may be difficult to get in to. I haven't had a problem with Sanaa. In addition to great food, I have had multiple allergy safe soups at this restaurant. Most restaurants cannot claim even one. Quite often you get the added benefit of animals directly on the other side of the windows. The only other Disney restaurant to get you this close to animal life is Coral Reef in Epcot.

Delicious places indeed. I've eaten at several of them. I don't know of a bad restaurant in WDW.
