You can find Fulton’s Crab House docked at the waterfront of Disney Springs’s Pleasure Island – you can’t miss it, it’s a huge riverboat (a replica actually). At night, the boat lights up and becomes a shining beacon, luring guests in for a signature dining experience.
There’s nothing quite like eating fresh seafood right on a boat. You get that special feel of the waves, the wind, the … maybe not. Eating at Fulton’s is the best of both worlds. You get to enjoy the feel of being on a boat and you don’t have to worry about getting sea sick.

About the Fulton’s
Fulton’s Crab House serves lunch and dinner each day, and features freshly caught seafood imported from all over the world (there are meat and veggie options too). It’s a quiet spot for a romantic evening or a family get-together (there are even some great menu options just for kids). The food might be upscale but the atmosphere is still casual enough to be comfortable.
Location
Located at Pleasure Island just across the bridge from the Marketplace, you’ll find Fulton’s Crab House between Portobello and T-Rex Cafe. If you’re using Walt Disney World transportation, you can get off at the West Side stop and cross to Pleasure Island on the middle bridge that leads from the parking lot to Raglan Road, then head to your right and you’ll be there in a jiffy!

History
You’ll find plenty of history aboard this ship – cross the gangplank into the nautical dining room brimming with fish–inspired folk art and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported onto a real river boat. And because every boat needs a good name, you might be interested to know that at one time this very boat was named Empress Lilly, after Uncle Walt’s wife Lillian.

Disney Dining Plan
Fulton’s Crab House accepts Disney Dining Plan credits, but since it’s a Signature Dining location, a meal here will cost you two Table Service credits. Dad’s not a fan of using two table service credits (it’s almost never worth it) so it might be a better idea to pay for this meal out of pocket – especially if you’re going for lunch.
