Where to go for twins birthday dinner?

[princesskenziesmom]

We will be celebrating our twins 7th birthday on the last day of our vacation. I am trying to plan a relaxing, magical last night dinner for our trip but somewhere where they will still get fawned over a little.

We are already planning;

Safari Breakfast
Akerhus
Crystal Palace
Kona
Ohana
T-Rex


I was thinking about taking them to CRT for dinner just for the Castle experience but not really sure about the food and it doesn't sound like they'll get much attention there. I'm considering switching one of the restaurants to their birthday but would like some input.

thanks

Because you have a daughter AND a son-- I would opt for the Crystal Palace with pooh and friends or Ohanas for breakfast with lilo and stitch.

I found a chart somewhere that stated the Safari breakfast has the worse ratio of characters per person so if wanting the kids to be fawned over that might not be the place to go.

1) A character meal is your best bet.
2) But, don't expect "fawning".
3) This is up to the individual CM.
. . . if they are energetic
. . . if they are not too busy
. . . if they seem to like you
4) There is always some kind of "group" birthday wish.
5) Beyond that, be pleased with whatever comes you way.
. . . sometimes a lot
. . . sometimes a little
. . . sometimes less than a little

NOTE: There are hundreds, if not thousands, of "special" days at WDW. They all cannot be recognized or "fawned". There would not be enough time for CM's to do their regular jobs. However, there are times when they do go out of their way.

I brought my older DD & DS for their 7th birthdays and now I'll be bringing my youngest in January. My oldest DD chose CP, my DS chose Chef Mickey's and my youngest has chosen California Grill. Funny thing my youngest is my picky eater so she picked California Grill for atmosphere. She will eat the mac & cheese there but I know she also thinks it is a really special place to go.

At CP & Chef Mickey's both of my kids were brought out a cupcake and the tables had confetti which was great but they are both pretty crazy busy places. I think my youngest made a great choice with California Grill.

Thanks for the advice, I think we will change to Crystal Palace.

I don't think I was stating that I wanted someone to go above and beyond for my children or that they were more important than anyone else, what parent doesn't want their children to get an extra hello or a Happy Birthday from someone. I would never impose on any CM or expect something they don't normally do.

Not on your list, but the first place I thought of was Garden Grill at Epcot with Chip and Dale, guess I was thinking the 2 chipmunks would get a kick out of twins, kinda like them I think the pace of the place is a bit more relaxed..but Crystal Palace sounds like maybe the next best bet as I hear the food there is great, and of course, you have MK if you do a few last rides on your trip. However Epcot does offer the same , with lots to do after eating..enjoy the birthday trip!

We have taken our boy/girl twins to Disney to celebrate their birthdays. At dinner CRT celebrated everyones birthday at once but they did give them a placemat that said Happy Birthday . For breakfast we took them to 1900 Park Fare and Alice and the Mad Hatter when out of their way to spend time with them. They gave my grandaughter a plastic tiara and both of them received a cupcake with a candle and everyone sang Happy Birthday. They were six and they thought that was a lot of fun.
