Thank you all so much for your help. This makes me feel much better and I look forward to planning it now. My kids will like the princess breakfasts. I think we will try Chef Mickeys but they might be a bit scared.
The other problem is that I am not really supposed to do buffets and I know a lot of restaurants do them. I have Cystic Fibrosis and it’s a germ thing. Speaking of, we will have to leave the parks by 2 everyday so I can get back to the hotel to do treatments. Is it worth it to go back for dinner or should I look more for lunches? I don’t plan on keeping the girls out past 8
Your medical needs change some of my suggestions. YOu can book character meals that are AYCTE *All you care to eat) The food is served family style at your table. You can also ask that your food be plated separately if need be. I do believe the chef woudl help you with this in a buffet as well, however you have several nice choices anyway.
Garden Grill: Features Farmer Chipmunks and Mickey. I think Pluto, however I cannot remember for sure. All three meals are family style.
Akershus Princess Storeybook breakfast is family style as well. It is good, and the interaction is really good.
CRT in the Magic Kingdom is a plated Princess meal. It is pricy, but little girls seem to love it. I prefer Akershus, however that Castel setting is pretty impressive.
'Ohana beakfast at the Polynesian is fun as well, also AYCTE. It feature Lilo and Stitch, Mickey and Pluto.
Under your particular circumstances I wodul try for a Pre Park opening breakfast in Epcot or MK if possible if you want to have a character meal. Stay in the parks til after a CS lunch and then hit the road to go back to your resort. We do nto find leaving early a problem, we always do this. WE relax at the resort, swim or take a nap, and then back out for dinner. How you handle dinner is your preference, because you could always go back to a park for dinner and evening entertainment or a last few attractions after dinner, or you could use that time to explore other areas in WDW. We will often go to a different resort for dinner, explore the shops, etc. Personally, I think Disney is more than parks.
Start with the schedule that works for you. Park days, and times that you can handle. Then choose your meals. REmember that Disney Chefs go above and beyond to help any food borne issues, so if you choose a buffet, I bet your will not need to use the buffet, however I cannot say for sure. Head over to the DISabilities forum. Those folks are a fountain of information and tips to make a trip less challenging for those who have specific needs.
The last thing I want to add is that you do not need to stress. You and the family could go without one meal booked and you woudl have a great time. You choose how you tour, and know that it will be okay.
