Best Dining Strategy with DDP and 2 yo

[mom2mira]

Wasn't sure if I should post this here or the family area. What's the best strategy to get the most out the DDP with a 2 yo in tow? I know buffets will be on the list for sure, but does anyone have any other advice on places to eat, extras to order, or what to order for my dh/self or my 7 yo dd that will help feed him as well? He will be very close to 3 when we go, but he is by no means a big eater.

we always try to get adr's for whispering canyon cafe at the wilderness lodge. my husband orders the all you can eat skillet and my son eats all the chicken he wants. also some of the counter services offer the 1/2 chicken and ribs combo that feeds me and my son. trails end in fort wilderness has an excellent buffet and it's really cheap. no charecters but then my children eat better when they're not distracted by the charecters. and of course the buffets are a good deal, don't feel bad if he takes 2 bites and doesn't want it anymore. WWC is a must to save money and share a plate.

We're going with a 2yo as well. We'll be eating at a lot of buffets and Cosmic Rays (for the rib and chicken platter). I also believe FT BBQ would be good. They have a 1/2 chicken plate that DD2 and I will split. I hadn't thought about WCC. That's a great idea!

Thanks for the ideas. WCC sounds like a great idea. Flame Tree was on my list because I know I can never finish the chicken myself. In looking through the menus, I also realized the Yak and Yeti counter service at AK should work great too. The fried rice and egg rolls are listed as a snack item so adding those to the meals should get us plenty to share.

we have a dd5 who we NEVER buy a meal for, we always share our meals with her so we can each get DESSERT later
