recs. for dining w/2 boys ages 5 and 8

[momofboys]

Please help me with your recommendations on where to eat fun with 2 boys ages 5 and 8. I am sure they will eat a burger or chicken strips everytime. So I don't care how GREAT the food is, the atmosphere will be everything to them. We are doing the dining plan and we are not big breakfast eaters. So we will probably do the snacks for breakfast and eat lunch and dinner in the parks. Thanks so much for your advice.

Our boys (7 and 4) loved Ohana's Lilo and Stitch breakfast. Stitch was very funny and humorous. He was constantly playing practical jokes on us -- he threw salt packets at me and pointed to the boys indicating that they had done it. This breakfast was definitely a highlight of our trip. My boys loved Stitch and his horrible behaviors!! The food was very good also. It is served family style. Mickey and Pluto are also at the restaurant. They do a cute parade and all of the children get involved. It was a lot of fun.

Whispering Canyon is also fun in the same way, especially for dinner when the antics are on full display.

My boys were 5 and 7 when we went in June and they loved Chef Mickey's for dinner. They also enjoyed Coral Reef we were sitted by the tank so that was neat for them. They also liked Grand Floridian Cafe. I think because of the boat ride and they liked the food there.

I second coral reef -- our boys love it. Nothing like watching for the shark!

My boys (7 and 9 on our last trip) LOVED Chef Mickey's and made a point to request it on our return trip.

Neither cared at all about going back to Whispering Canyon (so we're not).
