My 11 year old son, (whose been to WDW 7 times in 5 years), has the following recommendations:

1. Coral Seas Restaurant in EPCOT. (This restaurant looks out into the huge fish tank at the living Seas pavilion.)

2. Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney or Animal Kingdom. (Animatronic Animals are all around you inside this restaurant. The make noise and move at different times. Its noisey but fun.)

3. Garden Grill in EPCOT (This restaurant in the Land in EPCOT, spins. There are also Characters that walk around Chip and Dale, Mickey and Minnie. )

4. SciFi Dine In in MGM (This is a Drive in. You eat in Fake Cars and there are big screens playing Cartoon and movie clips.)

5. Cinderella's Royal Table in MK (Get to eat in the Castle, it's always fun. )

Hope this helps.

Have Fun!

My boys love the Whispering canyon at the WL. The clambake at the Cape May Cafe is fun too.

We always love the Hoop Dee Doo Revue. Its a must.

The sci-fi dine in is great. Lots of 50's monster movies, which will appeal to your age group.

My son was 9 when we went to Disney. His favorite places were

Ohana' breakfast
Casey's
Pecos Bills
Beach N Cream
Toy Story Pizza Planet


These are the ones he's looking forward to trying on our next trip(he's 12 now)
Sci Fi Dine in
Rainforest Cafe

I made a PS for Tappenyaki in Japan since my son gets a kick out of these types of restaurant.

I echo the earlier poster--

HOOP-DEE-DOO-REVUE!!!

My then-9 year old nephew laughed himself silly at this event. DON'T MISS IT!!!

 

[3boysmommy]

thanks so much everyone, I am kinda new here so haven't learned all the initials.

Is PS, like reservations?
how do I know which ones I need to call ahead for and how far ahead do I need to call?

dont know what HOOP-DEE-DOO-REVUE is but sounds like fun

will check into the things listed, thanks a BUNCH!!

Hi, we have 3 boys too. Our boys like all those mentioned and also like Chef Mickey's. My kids feel you are never too old for Mickey (thank goodness).

PS's are Disney's idea of reservations. Basically most restaurants accept PS's 90 days in advance of your desire to eat there. If you are going during a busy season, they are definitely a plus. We found on our last trip that even having a PS for a late lunch worked in our favor if we showed up early because of timing or hunger, we were seated before walkups. We generally make at least one every day. Some people are more go with the flow so you have to go with what works for your family.

Hoop Dee Doo Revue is a fun dinner show at Ft Wilderness. It is kinda pricey but a lot of fun. That can actually be scheduled two years in advance but we've gotten seats at 4 mos out without difficulty.

Another fun albeit pricey dinner show that my boys reallllllly loved was Medieval Times. This show is in Kissimmee so a car is necessary for that.

You don't mention when you are going, but I would strongly advise you to head to your local library and check out some of the Disney guidebooks. There are many! There is sooo much there, it's sort of overwhelming to go in with no basic idea of what you want to do. Additionally, the info board associated with these boards is fantastic. The address is www.wdwinfo.com.

Good luck and have fun planning.

Thanks!!
we are going Sept 25th- Oct 2nd

 

[3boysmommy]

after looking over the prices, looks like we may be able to do ONE special meal LOL

so if you could only pick (ONE) what would it be

also can you use the meal vouchers for any of these meals??

I'm really sorry if all these questions are repeats, I've been reading and just trying to post when I cant find the answer. Thanks!!

OOPS, NEVER MIND-
I thought all the prices would compare to the hoopdedoo, I can handle the $15-$25 & will be getting some of the vouchers to help with cost, since I read they can be used at the character meals

 

[stacy6552]

the best splruge you can do is the hoop dee doo revue. worth every penny.

My 9-year-old's favorite sit-down restaurants are Teppanyaki, Whispering Canyon and Prime Time Cafe. He will also willingly go to Boma, Akershus, Marrakesh, Le Cellier and San Angel. He doesn't like Mama Melrose, Sci Fi (food, not atmosphere) or Ohana. For counter service, he likes Pecos Bill's, San Angel Cantina and Toy Story Pizza Planet.

 

[2belles'mom]

HOOP DEE DO!!!!

The corny humor is exactly matched 9-12 year old's sense of what is funny!!!!! It is a riot. Lots of fun.

My 8 and 12 year old's votes:

Teppenyaki (love the entertaining chefs)
Sci-Fi (they've never been but have been reading ALL about it)
Beaches n'Cream (for burger and a shake)
Cape May Clam Bake (if you like seafood - they said)
Chef Mickeys was their choice of a character breakfast


When we go in March we are looking forward to:
Sci-Fi (lunch)
Teppenyaki (dinner)
Donald's Breakfastasaurus
CRT (for lunch)
O'Hana's (yeah! for dinner)
Tuskers (lunch)
still undecided about meals at Universal

next time, I hope to try

Kona Cafe
Crystal Palace character breakfast
LTT
Mama Melrose's
Rose&Crown
Spoodles
Le Cellier
Artist's Point

and someday, when my husband dies and the insurance $ kicks in :

Victoria & Albert's
(just teasing!!)
