Dining Schedule for Introducing a 2-Year-Old to WDW

[Bell30012]

Due to an amicable relationship with my ex-wife, I sometimes take care of my DD8's little sister. This is the perfect time to take her because she's only two and still FREE. Here's our dining schedule for the three day weekend trip. Since we are on the DxDP we get 6 credits each to use up and little sister is free. I've tried to pick character meals and buffets. However, a giant aquarium with sharks? Can't be missed. We are going to ask for the seats by the tank.

Anything I've missed? Suggestions??

Looks good to me! Just keep in mind the 2 y.o's can be funny. Sometimes they love the characters and sometimes they don't.

Great choices on TS! And like the PP stated..my son loved the characters until he was about 2. Now he is almost 3 and just starting to be interested again. I also want to mention, and this is just from my experience, 3 TS meals a day may be too much. We limit our trips to 1 TS, 1CS a day. I have two kids under age 3 and it's too much to ask them to behave in a TS restaurant more then once a day! You are also going to miss a lot of great ride time..each TS is going to take at least 45m, if not an hour. But this is just my opinion....it certainly can work out great for you!!!! What about doing the reg DDP? It will save you some money on the adult price per day. Either way..have a wonderful weekend trip

I agree that three TS is usually a lot for one day. Being on the Deluxe Dining Plan with a two year old, I was really shooting for buffets. For me, I need that sit down time each day. See the little one will be riding in the stroller, my DD8 has more energy than I'll ever use up but me? Yep, meal time is a bit of a break for me.

Coral Reef was our only non-buffet meal. This little one can eat and she eats free at buffets!
