Only a few weeks till I can book my ADRs! :cheer2:
I've promised my DH that I won't go mad ;) , so would like some input into my decisions!!
We will be two adults and a two and a half year old, who isn't a picky eater, but may be over-whelmed by costume characters.
Some recommendations please! :)

Hi
Only one I can recommend for a 2-3 year old is the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom. Pooh and friends (Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore) are the characters.

If your little one is into the princess' then you may want to consider Cindy's Royal Table, or Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (in Epcot) and there's always 1900 Park Fare (Grand Floridian).
These characters are then not 'in a costume' as such, they're all face characters, so maybe your DD won't be quite as intimadated :)

Hey Verity
My girls were never as young as your Evie (sorry if I've got her name wrong, my minds gone blank :rotfl2: ), but we have always enjoyed the character meals like Chef Mickey's, Ohana's brekkie with Lilo & Stitch and the Princess Storybook breakfast
Let us know what you finally book

hi verity :hug:
i would advise looking at buffets rather than sit-downs as Evie will probably find them easier to tolerate !
PSB at EPCOT is great fun so thats my reccomedation

Hi Verity :hug:
We took Erin when she was only just three when we first went. She LOVED meeting Minnie (at any location :rolleyes: ) but particularly remembers Chef Mickey's.
We also went to the H&V character breakfast which sadly is no more, but if Evie takes to the characters like Erin, anywhere will be great!
Can I also suggest the Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club? Characters there in the morning (plus Krispy Kremes popcorn:: :dance3: ) and they have paper tablecloths which are really good fun to draw on if you're little and get bored when you've finshed eating!
When are you going and where are you staying? ETA Big durrr - just seen your countdown! POFQ is lovely :)
Please say Hi to Simon for me :) I can't believe Evie is 2 1/2 already!

Thanks!
Oh goodness, I'm literally going mad trying to decide, I guess that's half the fun though! Good job I've got a little longer to decide!

No, the offer is for after our dates.
I've promised Simon I will only make 4, but might be able to push it to 6! ;)

Hi Verity
Obviously I like Cape May ;) but I also LOVE Ohana for dinner. Great choices! I've not eaten at the other two!

Hi Verity
First time i have been on here for ages!!!! You can tell our trip is approaching....
The only one of your choices I would query is the Princess lunch in Norway. I think the food is traditional Norwegian, so be sure to check the menu to see if you like it before you book. We are not mad on fish and did not find much on the menu we liked. We have had breakfast there twice and it is American food and very nice too!!! Of course, if you like Norwegian food- go for it. It is a lovely place and the Princesses are fab!!!!
Cape May Cafe is one of our favourite character breakfasts. Very relaxed with lots of character interaction. Wonderful food too.
Great choices I think!!! I would still book a few more ADRs just in case you want them. They are very easy to cancel and you might be disappointed if you try to get some while you are there and there is no availability.
Enjoy your planning,
love from Mandy :)

another vote for Cape May, great buffet, also I found it to be a bit quieter than some of the breakfasts so if you are worried about the little one, this may be a quieter option to break her in gently x
