Best themed restaurant for toddler?

[Wayland10]

My kids loved Biergarten at that age- with 8 people some of you can take turns getting buffet food while others dance to the band with the kids, and you’ll get a table to yourselves. Plus being inside in the daytime while it feels like you’re outside at night is magic to a toddler.

They have dancing there? That sounds like fun. I never knew that.

do they have a lot of non-pork food options there?

They have a polka band, and the inside looks like you’re sitting in the square of a German town. There’s mostly pork schnitzel and sausages, but also rotisserie chicken and I think sometimes other things? And kids food. Lots of sides and salads. It was fun!

Hmmm it’s a struggle to justify $50 for a rotisserie chicken dinner lol. Guess the once an hour dance party at chef mickeys will have to do lol

Well they are traveling in October, so A fun Octoberfest in the Germany .

Reminder from original post:
Children are 1 & 3 years old.
Plans for MK & HS locations only.

I have been yearly with 2 grandchildren their entire lives .
If I were to ask what is their first memory It would be the nightly water Electrical Pageant show from the Contemporary …they would rewatch it over & over afterwards at home.
Their most often request would be SCI Fi and the Oktoberfest dance party buffet at Epcot Germany ! .

But for fun memories and great picture keepsakes, I would consider the character meal with Winnie the Pooh at the MK or Chefs Mickey at the Contemporary !

Also the photo should be purchased at the Magic Kingdom photo pickup location because they will print a package deal and the keepsake protective brochure has a Disney design and they can add a border selection that has date and other choices…They also include a few professional Disney photographs as a bonus surprise !

I will add that the character meal at HS with Minnie Mouse includes the characters in Halloween costumes for another great family photo memory!

I've never been to this one, and now I want to try it!

I was referring to my family since we can’t eat pork items. If the no pork options are a bit better than it would make our list

You can have photos printed at magic kingdom?

I would throw Topolinos brunch out there as an option.

You could ride the Skyliner there, which is typically a hit for the littles. The character interaction is wonderful. But, it isn't loud and overwhelming like some places are....Chef Mickeys for example. There is the opportunity for some lovely family photos out on the skydeck outside the restaurant.


I know you mentioned a non-character meal, but I just wanted to throw it out there.

As far as non-character meal...I'd honestly just suggest just a good place to eat. If you are already getting the kids vibe from Cape May, maybe this other meal could be an overall good place to eat. Someplace like Olivia's at OKW, The Dolphin Fountain, Art Smith's Homecoming.

do you want the meal in the park or not? Also is this a rest day?

These are important cause some of these meals can be an experience. Such as you go to boma and arrive early and see the animals and go to the playground there. Or you go to chef mickeys and arrive early and rent a pontoon boat!
I’ve been watching the mouselets on YouTube and they call Disney world the vacation kingdom and Disney world strived to be more than just parks.
