2 TS's left with a toddler, please help.

[lovebug21]

We are going from Sept.28 (arriving early) until October 4th. We have 6 days worth of reservations made. I just made them tonight so they really aren't that booked. (I also gave up a Brown Derby fantasmic spot on Oct.2) We are thinking lunches may be best because we have a 2 year old (almost 3) We have reservations for the Coral Reef, Crystal Palace, Donald's Safari Breakfast, and Sci-Fi. They are pretty much picked to entertain our toddler while we get to eat. He isn't the best in restaurants. We may do Rose and Crown, we love it. What would you recommend for our other 2 table service meals? Thank you!

Our last trip had 3 under 3's involved, and the best sucesses for us were Coral Reef [which I see you have], Liberty Tree Tavern [we did it at lunch, not dinner and it was still great..we are doing dinner this time], and 50s PTC. The kids didn't understand the "kitsch" factor of 50s, but its got a bit going on so any noise your child makes isn't really noticed and has kid friendly food.

I know you said lunches, but Chef Mickey's for breakfast or an early dinner is a good option. If you want to try different food and just want entertainment for your DS, then Biergarten or San Angel (if you sit near the water) is good to keep them busy...there's also Rainforest Cafe, although thats not on the DDP, so that won't knock off a TS for you. ESPN is loud and there's a lot to look at/do there, so that might work too.

Rainforest Cafe is great for kids! It's noisy in there to begin with, since you're in the rainforest and then every so often the "animals" in there start making more noises! Especially for the 2-4 year olds, the animals seem real and it's loads of fun!

'Ohana's at the Poly is a good dinner choice, since there is entertainment there. Also, quite often they would call the kids up to play -- coconut races, dancing, etc. Our DD loved it!

Have a great trip!

We usually go with our 4 year old nephews and we all love the Play and Dine at HS for lunch. They do songs and dance every few minutes and Playhouse Disney characters are there. The food is also very good. They usually have a good selection of pasta dishes, the usual meat and sides, and a good kids selection.

Thank you! I will be looking into all of these.

Chef Mickey's can work as lunch because they are serving lunch while you're there. We also did it as a late breakfast, after 11am so it was lunch for us.

Rainforest Cafe is not on the Dining plan.

Hoop Dee Doo Review is a dinner show and food is served family style and brought to your table 2TS. Keep in mind you'll be seated the strangers though.

Book lunch at H&V, its a character meal built just for the toddlers. It features characters from Playhouse Disney, dancing, singing as well as extra CMs to help with the little ones. It's available for breakfast too.
