Dining in the Disney Restaurants

[mommytotwo]

I was wondering if there was a site where I could view all the menus of the Disney restaurants, and do the characters visit all of the restaurants? What restaurant would you suggest for a family with a toddler?

I think if you go to one of the posts above (DL Links - restaurants), that should help you get to a place that has menus.
For a toddler, I would think they like pooh and friends. They have that at Plaza Inn, which I really enjoyed when we went a couple years back. lots of interaction with the characters and good food. At Storytellers in the GC, you get chip and dale and pluto - but they don't come to the tables, just stay at the front. We've also been to Avalon Cove in DCA for dinner - character interaction there is great as well, with minnie, goofy, pluto, chip and dale. That's more of an adult place IMHO....
I'm sure others can give you some good ideas for places with kids. We don't have any unfortunately, so tend to stick with the same character meals when we go.

Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel is wonderful for kids. Have been there three times and saw Genie, Captain Hook, Sleeping Beauty, Alice, Aladdin, Chip N Dale, and of course Goofy. They spend time at each table. The Plaza Inn does the Winnie the Pooh characters mostly I believe. At California Adventure Ariel's Grotto (formerly Avalon Cove) had Ariel, Chip N Dale, Mickey and Minnie. They do a fun kids parade where all the kids get to play little instruments and go through the restaurant. The Plaza Inn has a character breakfast only. Ariel's and Goofy's have characters all the time. Make reservations for Ariel's and Goofy's and get to the Plaza Inn as soon as it opens (preferably during the week). Have fun!
