8 Things You Need to Know About Citricos at Walt Disney World

Citricos is a popular, high-end restaurant at Disney’s Grand Floridian.  If you haven’t dined there before and are considering it, then you will definitely want to review this list.  Here are eight things that you need to know about Citricos:





 

8 – Where to find the restaurant.

Citricos is located in the main building at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.  You can get there via monorail, bus, water transportation, or taking your own car or taxi over to the resort.

7 – Make reservations in advance.

Table service dining is extremely popular at Walt Disney World, so we always recommend that you make your reservations as far in advance as possible so that you know you get your time and date preferences during your vacation.  Many of the popular times book up fast, and this restaurant is only open for dinner service.

6 – The restaurant is a Disney Signature Dining experience.

This means that the restaurant is one of Disney’s higher-end locations.  Disney Signature Dining restaurants only hire the best for the dining and cooking staff. They also offer the most beautiful settings and perfectly crafted menus. They are also among the most expensive.  If you are on the Disney Dining Plan, it will cost two table service entitlements to dine at Citricos.

5 – There is a dress code.

It is very important to note the dress code before dining since the dress code will be enforced.  According to Disney’s website, men are expected to wear khakis, slacks, jeans or dress shorts with a collared shirt.  Women are expected to wear capri pants, skirts, dresses, jeans, or dress shorts.  The restaurant also does not permit tank tops, swimsuits, swimsuit cover-ups, hats for gentlemen, cut-offs, torn clothing, and t-shirts that are offensive in nature.





 

4 – The restaurant boasts an award-winning wine list.

The restaurant has won awards for its wine list and the wine services that it provides.  They utilize the latest technologies to ensure that the wine is perfectly served in a manner that enhances the flavor.  There are also sommeliers on hand at the restaurant at all times to suggest wine pairings for guests with their meals.

3 – The lounge area doesn’t require reservations. 

If you don’t have a reservation or don’t want to stay for a full dinner service, you can also enjoy the lounge area.  No reservations are required, and you can have selections from the entire wine and drink menu and a food menu that includes many delicious appetizers and other selections.  It is just important to note that Disney Dining Plans are not accepted in the lounge area.

2 – There are no fireworks views from the restaurant.

Many guests think of the Magic Kingdom area resorts and may assume that there are fireworks views.   Citricos is not one of the locations with a fireworks view, but it does offer beautiful views of the Grand Floridian Gardens, so we don’t think you will be disappointed with the romantic atmosphere.

1 – The food is delicious!

We haven’t talked much about the food, and we definitely should!  The food at the restaurant is definitely delicious.  Mediterranean flavors inspire it, and you will find multiple courses of delicious flavors.  You can start with a first course, entrees, and then dessert.  You will find delicious steaks, chicken, or seafood dishes on the menu.  You can also get delicious seafood enhancements to one of the menu items.  The desserts are phenomenal, even though it is hard to save room for dessert.  You really can’t go wrong at Citricos when it comes to a delicious meal!

Hi! I’m Kristin, and I am a wife and mother of 2 young boys (ages 5 and 2). I first fell in love with Disney when my mom took me when I was a child. After that I proceeded to go to WDW for my senior trip with my friends, and I completed a year in the Disney College Program (working in merchandise at Mickey’s of Hollywood at Disney’s Hollywood Studios). I shared my love of Disney with my now husband and sucked him in. We vacationed at Walt Disney World 2-3 times per year. We decided that what maked more sense was just moving to Orlando so that we could live the Disney life and be here for all of our favorite events and seasons every year. That is exactly what we did! Now we are at the parks a couple times a week and go for most events and major holidays. We can’t get enough and get to experience Disney in a whole different way.
