Best Birthday Lunch location for 1 yr old birthday? - The DIS Discussion Forums

ngl · 10-08-2009, 03:14 PM

We will be celebrating my daughther's 1st birthday at WDW with various family members in early December. We are looking for recommendations as to a good location for a nice birthday lunch where we can order one of the Mickey cakes and celebrate. Probably will be at Magic Kingdom but not certain so open to any suggestions. Would really appreciate any input. Thanky you!

I think a 1 year old would probably enjoy the Crystal Palace. It has Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore circulating and stopping at each table. It's a buffet and has pretty good food at all their meals (Breakfast, lunch, dinner)...and it's also in the MK.

what about the JoJo meal at the studios? i don't have little ones......

I think a 1 year old will have no idea whats going on. So just pick any place you like.

I 2nd the Crystal Palace. You could do a late b/fast (11:00). The restaurant empties out & they don't start seating for lunch for a bit. It's nice & quiet for a bit. They also won't rush you out.

My 1 year old loved Pooh and Tigger at the Crystal Palace. It was awesome for breakfast. I totally recommend Crystal Palace.

I will be celebrating my son's 1st birthday as well as his cousin's 5th birthday next time we visit the World and we are planning on celebrating at Crystal Palace too. Should be fun! Good luck!

Crystal Palace must be the place to celebrate 1st bdays!! We will be there for breakfast on my DS's first birthday.

Pumbaa_ · 10-08-2009, 08:41 PM

I agree. At 1, the party is for the family. The kid is just happy

Anywhere you decide will be the best place!

We took our 1 year old to Crystal Palace and she was in heaven! She LOVED it! I would highly recommend going there for the birthday party! Have a great time and don't forget to have that video camera running to capture all the adorable memories

my lo's birthday is going to be on 11/29 while we are at WDW. We are having breakfast at Ohana's and then lunch at CRT. She will not remember but a castle and princess lunch is the way to go for my little princess.

I agree that a first BD party is for the adults. The little one will be happy anywhere. I would decide what the adults would like.

We had DS's 1st bday at Crystal palace and he had a lot of fun. We also ordered a cake from the cake hotine and had them bring it out at the end of our meal.

I mostly agree. I would think about places with the best opportunities for good b-day pics: Chef Mickey's for breakfast or Crystal Palace for lunch/dinner.

I was also going to say Crystal Palace. Have fun!
