Best themed restaurants to take young kids?

[jnordan]

I'm trying to get a general plan for our May 2007 trip in order. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out where I want our "table service" meals as a family. DH and I will also do a dinner or two on our own after the girls are asleep, but I'll figure that out later.

I've got some thoughts, but I'd love your feedback. Just FYI, our two girls will be 2.5 and 4.5 years old, they go to bed early, so dinners will be early, and we'll be staying at the Beach Club Villas. For the most part, I'm looking for the best combo of practical for all of us, and fun for the girls.

Here is what I'm thinking. These "days" are not necessarily in order, but we'll have 8 days, and this is how I'm thinking they'll be divided:

Day 1:
Arrive, hang out at hotel and become familiar with surroundings.
Walk over to Epcot for dinner at San Angel Inn.

Day 2:
All day at the Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella's Breakfast

Day 3:
Animal Kingdom in the morning, afternoon at hotel:
Beaches and Cream for dinner

Day 4:
Hang out at the hotel, head over to Boardwalk in the afternoon.
Dinner at Flying Fish Cafe

Day 5:
Epcot in the morning -- hitting the highlights, back to hotel in the afternoon.
Lunch at Coral Reef

Day 6:
MGM in the morning -- again hitting the highlights, back to hotel in the afternoon.
Lunch at 50's PT Cafe

Day 7:
Another day hanging out at the hotel
Character breakfast at the Akershus in Epcot

Day 8:
Back to the Magic Kingdom in the morning for as long as the girls are happy.
Buffet Dinner at Cape May Cafe.

what about sci fi? or for a good character meal try 1900 park fare or crystal palace (cant remember if any of these were already in your plans) good luck!

Sci-Fi would be a good experience fo them.
You might want to spend a bit more time in Animal Kingdom and let them have a lot of fun at Camp Minnie Mickey and the Rafaki section which is a top for young kids.
They would prolly like the hoopie-dee-doo show also.

Also, place them in the Neverland Club for the evening and you can enjoy yourself a nice meal with your husband while having the kids left completely entertained.
