Fulton's Crab House
Location
The big white riverboat nestled between Pleasure Island and the Marketplace.
Menu
Comments
Formerly called the "Empress Lilly," after Walt's wife
Lillian, this riverboat was changed over from having several different
restaurants to a simpler set-up with just one title bistro. Fresh seafood is
now the specialty at this multi-room restaurant located in a replica of a
1850's Mississippi riverboat. Atmosphere and great food make a great combination.

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop
Location
Across from the Dock Stage, and between World of Disney and the Toys
Fantastic Stores
Menu
Comments
San Francisco's finest chocolatier comes out East to provide premium chocolates
(packaged in many different ways). The Soda Fountain is almost always packed in the
afternoon and evening, especially around meal times.

Gourmet Pantry
Location
Between the large fountain and the Days of Christmas shop.
Menu
Comments
The Pantry sells snacks and deli items to go, as well as supplies, utensils, and so
on. One of my favorite places to buy Rice Krispies treats and chocolates at the
beginning of a trip (health food for munching on during the rest of our
stay).
McDonald's
Location
At the far end of the Marketplace, behind the Lego Imagination
Center.
Menu
Comments
The theme is Ronald McDonald...the food is well known to everybody save for the
occasional Tibetan monk.
Rainforest Cafe
Location
In the Marketplace, at the far East end (furthest from Pleasure Island.)
Menu
Comments
Probably the restaurant that is most consistently busy in all of Walt Disney World, the
Rainforest combines a fun theme (being in the middle of the Amazon jungle) with above
average food. The waits can be interminable, so plan accordingly (early lunches
around 11:00am can be fairly quick, in my experience). The pasta and salads are
premium dishes.

Wolfgang Puck's Express
Location
In the Marketplace.
Menu
-
Cuisine: Eclectic Californian
-
Sample Items: Pizza, Rotisserie Chicken, Salads
-
Prices: Moderate
Comments
Puck is well known for his Californian cuisine. At the Express, that style is
served ala carte, and via a cafeteria line. The food comes up fairly quickly, and is
a vast improvement over the typical "fast food." Pasta and Pizza are the
house specialties.
