ADR's everyday?

[pinkstar]

Should I bought a ADR for everyday that we are there? Because this will be our first trip, I don't know which one's I should book.

I know for sure I want..
Cinderella's Royal Table
Chef Mickey
Crystal Palace

Which other restaurants would be good for young kids? I'm so upset that Donald's dinosaur themed place is going to gone, as my son LOVES dinosaurs!

If you are using the dining plan during a busy time very much yes.

IF you are using the dining plan - Cinderella's Royal Table - uses 2 credits per person.

The three you mentioned are must eats with young children.
When our DDs were young we enjoyed the Sci-Fi Dine-Inn at MGM, Rain Forest Cafe (either location - not in dining plan though), 50's Primetime Diner, OH - what is the buffet place at MGM that has Playhouse Disney characters now????, at Epcot we ate at San Angels Inn (Mexico)

Ohana' is good and fun for dinner - and they have a character BkFast.

Hope that helps a little.

Look at dining on Deb's www.allearsnet.com site.

For breakfast we love 1900 Park Fare at GF, it is a character buffet,
For lunch a "Cool place to shop and eat" is at the Rainforest Cafe, cool atmosphere!Go to the one in AK, in my opinion it is better then the one in DTD. For a quick bite we also go to Casey's corner at the MK. For a "linner", because they give you so much food, is the hibatchi grill in Japan at Epcot, they put on a good show and they offer chicken , beef, and steak. I think they also offer some children menu choices.(anyone correct me if im wrong.. also what is the name?) Also, in MGM, 50's Prime time diner! AWESOME! The food is great, and the whole theme is awesome. You are basically waited on by people from "your family". Each waiter or waitress is either your brother, aunt, uncle...... and they are soo funny! They offer good comfort food! CRT, CM's, and CP are also awesome places to eat! Hope this helps! Happy planning!

I would do ADR's for everyday even if you aren't going during free dining. CRT has to be done 180 days in advance. I just tried to get it for a whole 10 day trip in September and I couldn't. I'll definetly be calling 180 days in advance for my December trip!

The Donald breakfast will be gone (moved I believe) but, the restaurant will still be there. Someone correct me if I am wrong but, isn't that the pizza place? You could go there for lunch (no ressies needed)

I would also highly recommend:
Liberty Tree Tavern in the MK
'Ohana at the Poly

We are trying Garden Grill in Epcot this time for my Ds (who turns two that day!) It is a character meal.

I would also strongly recommend getting ADRs! Another fun place for kids is the Whispering Canyon Cafe, they have lots of activities going on. It is at the Wilderness Lodge and it is a very pleasant boat ride from the MK.

ADRs are a very good idea if you like eating at sit-down restaurants, whether you are on the DDP or not. And who doesn't like taking a load off for an hour or two every day?

Crystal Palace is a great one - you'll love it!

Whispering Canyon is a lot of fun, too, if you like the antics and the volume (it gets noisy at times). It's a real hoot!

A thrilling one is the California Grill (2 DDP table credits), if you can book it to coincide with Wishes. Going out on the top-of-the-Contemporary platform to watch Wishes will give your kids a thrill, and a different perspective on the entire show (but they should see it from Main Street first, IMO). Plus, the food is really good and we found the service to be exemplary.

My final recommendation would be to check out at least one cuisine that you're unfamiliar with in Epcot's World Showcase. It's an opportunity worth taking, and we've found them to be palette friendly and kid friendly all around.

How about Whispering Canyon? On our last trip, the kids were 2.5, 5 and 9 and they all loved it! And yes, make ADRs!

No, it's
Restaurantosaurus, a McDonald's in expensive clothing. And Donald will now host Donald's Safari at Tusker House.

Yes, I would book ADRs for every day of your trip. When we went 4 years ago, I booked one or two ADRs and my family thought I was crazy - why would you want to take so much time out of the day to eat a meal? Well, after the first ADR they were asking so where are we eating tomorrow? It is nice to have a sit down meal either for lunch or supper. You can always cancel the ressie that day if you know that you are not going to make it. Have a great trip!

We always have a reservation for everyday...in earlier years we never needed to do this but since free dining took over it is a def must to make reservations.

We like CP and Cape May for breakfast and dinner.

Beirgarten is wonderful and they have a nice show. 50's Prime Time is hysterical and the food is very good.
