Sat arrive, have dinner @ 1900 Park Fare or should I do Chef Mickey??

Sunday, MK Day... early morning snack and Brunch @ Crystal Palace or is CRT much better food wise?

Monday AK Day... early morning snack and brunch @ Boma

Tuesday Epcot Day ... ??? Dinner Coral Reef or Concourse steakhouse

Wednesday MGM Day ... ??? Dinner @ ohana's

Thursday MVMCP Day ... dinner @ CRT or Crystal Palace ???

Your plan looks fine. Park Fare has great food so does Chef Mickey my DW @DD we like Park Fare a little better. In Epcot you could eat at LE CELLIER they have wonder cheese soup good steaks. Our you could try ROSE and CROWN these are in world show case. At Ohana 's it wonderful they bring the food to your table, so you don't have to get up to get it.

On Sat. I would do 1900 Park Fare since you are going to Chef Mickey's another day. The food would be different but the experience would be the same. We did the CRT breakfast and loved it. The food was pretty good also. I would keep Boma and Ohana's also. Our kids loved Ohana's. They have games during dinner which let me and my DH have a little free time. Not much, but a little! It was worth it! Have fun!

Here's my suggestions:

I would spread out the character meals because sometimes children can get overwhelmed with the over stimulation.

Arrival day: Alot of families do CM's as the first meal to get them in the Disney spirit.
Sunday: CRT over CP (because of the character meal).
Monday: Never have tried Boma.
Tuesday: Concourse
Wednesday: O'hana's dinner
Thursday: CP
Friday: How about breakfast at the hotel you're leaving from, or at DTD?

Just MHO! Most of all, have fun. I understand your DH's feelings about buffets, but the buffet meals at WDW are fresh and continuously changed out. It's the only place I will do buffet. Enjoy!!

Which resort are you staying at? We have twin 2 yr olds and just returned last week from a stay at Beach Club. What worked for us was to center our meals around which park we were going to be at that particular day. For example, when you have your Epcot day, I'd choose Coral Reef to eat at rather than Concourse Steakhouse (unless you are staying at Contemporary?).

I agree with the others to spread out the character meals as they can be overwhelming and overstimulating to the little ones.

As this is your 1st trip to WDW, here is a little advice that pertains to our particular situation. We gave up on planning too many meals (making reservations/PS). We found that one or both children would nod off right before a PS, and let me tell you it was the pits! This last trip, we played things by ear and planned around our girls' naps, etc. Everything worked out wonderfully. We'd call or stop by a restaurant in the afternoon when we had a good idea on what time we'd be eating that evening. They always had openings.

Good luck!

I would certainly choose the breakfast at the Crystal Palace since your husband likes buffets. There is a much larger choice of food and of course you can always sample everything. Unfortunately CRT has a set menu but you can always ask for more of it. As a man I love the choices at CP.
