best restaurants w/ 3yr old?

[Suzanne74]

we are already doing the LTT character dinner our first full day there and then 4 days in we are doing CRT.

I may do Chef Mickey the last day or the ice cream social at epcot as I want to see Mickey!!

Other thoughts for me so far are...

Wispering Canyon?
Teppanaya in Japan for lunch (sp?)
Ohana's


any opinions or additions would be great. We definately want to have fun and have her entertained!!!

For a little girl even though you are already eating at the castle, if it's specially for her she might like 1900 Park Fair with Cinderella, and I think Mary Poppins and others.

Chef Mickey is fun for little ones though too and you'd get to see "Mickey"!!!

your question really depends on which characters your 3 year old likes...however, The Crystal Palace in MK is a great place to see the Pooh characters...if your child is frightened by the costumed characters then look into a restaurant with face characters such as 1900 Park Fare or Akershus in Norway. Another choice (although without characters) is the Rainforest Cafe as it has great theming that kids like.

Whispering Canyon is a must for us every trip.

Another that might not jump right out at you is the Coral Reef at epcot. Arrive early and ask to wait for a tank side table. trust me.

The hoop dee doo revue is a blast too.

Akershus in Epcot for princess breakfast. It's my 3 year old DD's favorite. They have all the princesses except Cinderella.

Our DD just turned 4 recently - her favorites do include CM, LTT, and CRT. She loves Pooh and Friends, so Crystal Palace is a must--we really prefer the breakfast. Our suggestion would be to go before park opening, so you can get about an hour of Fantasyland done before the park gets too busy.

We did go to 'OHana and Whispering Canyon on our trip two weeks ago. She really liked both, but I think 'OHana was easier for her age because she went with 2 friends. (Thus, she was excited for the coconut races and hula hoop)

We also really like the fare for Lunch or Dinner at Garden Grill in the Land. Our daughter did not like Teppanyaki in Japan. They do not accomodate children's requests. So, if you look at the menu and aren't sure, I would recommend waiting.

Our DD also really liked Mama Melrose's in MGM - she ate every bite of her chicken parm., 2 pieces of our flatbread pizza, and vanilla gelato. This made up for all the meals she didn't eat.

Happy planning!!

Concourse Steakhouse. You & dh can have a nice quiet "adult" dinner. The constant flow of monorails going through will amuse our child. We ate there many time when our dd was 2.5. She was so quiet, watching for those trains!

PS foods good too!
