Best Character Dining with Several Kids

[dislovers7]

We are going to WDW in August. We have been there before, but trying to decide on character dining. We have been to Chef Mickey's and had a ball, but deciding if we should try something different. We have 4 boys(12, 10, 8 and 6) and 1 girl (3). So trying to pick the one that will keep everyone happy. Any different suggestions?
Thanks!

Ohana for breakfast could be a great choice. Stitch & Friends & it is family style so they bring you the food.

While it may seem like a girlie meal at first glance, our entire family enjoys dinner at 1900 Park Fare. The Tremaines are a riot (the sisters LOVE to flirt with the boys)!! We also enjoyed the food (hello, strawberry soup!!).

I like both 1900 Park Fare and Ohana. Ohana is more family style. There are more food selections at 1900 Park Fare.

Our all time favorite is Garden Grill. The absolute best character interaction especially if you schedule at the beginning of service when they are just loading. They spend tons of time and come back multiple times. We've always had a great experience!

My favorite is the Donald's Safari Breakfast in Animal Kingdom. I really love the food and jungle juice!

I'll second the suggestions for Ohana breakfast and Garden Grill dinner! Both are served family style, but with plenty of choices to keep everyone happy. We are only a family of five, but with lots of different eating preferences. At both, we think the atmosphere is relaxed, the food is good and the character interaction is outstanding!

Have a great trip!

Oooh!! I forgot about Garden Grill! We did that for the first time last month, and it was really fun! I'd heard about all the character interaction, but I wasn't prepared. They visited our table four or more times each and had a different little schtick each time.

I'd also vote for the Garden Grill.
