DDP Restaurant Advice

[mdcousins]

After much debate these are the restaurants we are thinking about eating at while in Disney...traveling with two 8 year olds, an 11 year old, and a 3 year old.

What do you think? Suggestions PLEASE...

1. T-Rex - We know it's not on the dining plan, but the boy in our group said he can only handle so many princesses.

2. Hoop Dee Do Music Review

3. Tucker House with Nemo Package (AK)

4. Chef Mickey's

5. Magic Kingdom suggestion please...we prefer lunch/dinner (MK)

6. Coral Reef? (Epcot of Hollywood Studios suggestion)

Thanks!

Crystal Palace is a favorite in MK. We are doing that for dinner on our trip in Sept.

Epcot has tons of great restaurants. The kids will love the fish at Coral Reef but I thought the food was eh.. Askerhaus has a princess meal that the girls might love. Maybe daddy and son could pick something else while the girls do the princess meal. We are doing Le Cellier for lunch at EP and going to the Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club on our HS day.

If you go to allears.net there is a list of all the restaurants by location and their menus.

The Plaza at MK is great....super sandwiches and awesome ice cream for dessert. otherwise you could do a CS...Columbia Harbor House has great tuna and wraps. those would be my picks.

Epcot.....you have so many options. Personally, I would put Coral Reef near the bottom. Yes the tanks are great...so go look at them...and then eat elsewhere! just pick a place with cuisine you like....it's all there.

MK--I would choose Crystal Palace if you want to eat inside the park. If you can leave the park, I would recommend going to the Poly resort and eating Ohanas. The food is delicious! It's served family style, but if you're kids are picky eaters, they will make them the standard kids' fare (chicken nuggets, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.) The atmosphere was great fun for kids and the whole family. They have coconut broom races for the kids, teach them to do Hawaiian dances, give them leis, etc.
For Epcot, I would STRONGLY recommend ditching Coral Reef. The tanks were neat, but if you explore the Living Seas area while at Epcot, you'll get your tank fill. The tanks don't make up for the blah food. I would try Biergarten. It will appeal to all of the ages of your kids--boys and girls alike. It's a German buffet, but has plenty to appeal for kids as well. Lots of good German food, but plenty for picky eaters too (chicken, mac n cheese, etc.) They have a band that plays live w/ a dance floor for the kids (and parents if they want) to get out and dance on. Very fun atmosphere!

We really enjoyed TRex when we went

I liked the character interaction at Chef Mickey, but did not enjoy the food (at dinner)-I prefer Crystal Palace by far (maybe for your MK day).

Ohana was the best meal we had at WDW when we went (agreed upon by everyone in our group)
