A common question when planning dining at Walt Disney World is “What restaurant do you recommend that only uses 1 Table Service (TS) entitlement on the Disney Dining Plan? (DDP)”. I ran 6 polls in our group, All Access Disney Group, asking members what restaurants they would want. Here are their choices, which are broken down into each theme park, Disney Springs and Resorts. This list has restaurants that are year-round. The list does not include seasonal, dessert parties or events packages.
