Best Lunch at MK area with toddler

[Candycane83]

So what would be the best lunch experience around MK with a 2 year old in your opinion? (Please exclude BOG). I know it is subjective but what are your personal experiences? Somehow, I have considered a few restaurants like Chef Mickey's and WCC but can't make up my mind. I don't know why but my impression is there are so much more choices for dinner than lunch?!

Thanks!

Are you wanting TS specifically?

Yes, thanks! Sorry, I totally forgot to mention that. We're on DxDP so I would prefer TS.

Below are all the TS restaurants I can think of that have lunch. Without knowing your toddler, I am not sure which might work well. I do not have kids but have dined with my cousins' kids when they were that age and each handled dining differently. Some where great no matter where we were and others were awful unless they had something to entertain them the whole time (food/electronics).

CR: The Wave, Chef Mickey (Does Chef Mickey have lunch all the time now?)
GF: Grand Floridian Cafe
Poly: Kona
WL: WCC
FW: Trails End (Might be switching to a "Brunch")
MK: Crystal Palace, Liberty Tree Tavern, The Plaza, Tony's, Cinderella's Royal Table

My son was just under 2 when we went for our first trip as a family. Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's were probably my favorite TS restaurants for him to eat because there were plenty of choices for him on the buffets at each restaurant. Plus, I got to take lots of cute pictures of him with some of our favorite characters.

Thanks @tobikaye and @IZHAYMAMA I am considering Chef Mickeys or skippers canteen. My toddler is used to Asian food at home and more fish. I think he's not afraid of characters and we have another day at crystal palace planned... thanks for the advice!

Crystal Palace would have been my vote, but I see that you're going there already. 1900 Park Fare is also a great buffet for younger kids, and have a later time for breakfast (which is what we usually do). We're usually the 8:00 EMH people, so my kids are ready for a hearty meal by 11:00 when the crowds are starting to come in.
