Dining with the kiddos

[boymommyx2]

Trying to figure out all my ADR's - man, this is stressful I have been having actual nightmares about these reservations! Never thought I would be dreaming about ADR's!

Anyway, we will be there for 7 nights. DH, myself, and DS4 (turning 5 while we are there) and DS 2.5.

So far I have CRT, CG, Kona and the Hibachi place booked. What are some other good suggestions for some yummy food for the adults that are ok to bring kids? I know it's Disney and kids will be everywhere but are there places that kids would really be unwelcome?

We were there in early December (DD 2.5 and DD 6) and we enjoyed the following:

Breakfast - Crystal Palace (buffet with Pooh and Friends), Ohana, (Family style with Lilo, Stitch, Mickey & Pluto), Tusker House (huge buffet with Donald, Daisy, Mickey & Goofy - my favorite breakfast), Hollywood & Vine (large buffet with Little Einsteins and JoJo & Goliath), Princess Breakfast @ Epcot (family style with 5 princesses). We ate at Chef Mickey's but I didn't care for the food as much

Tusker House buffet for Lunch or Dinner is wonderful. No characters, but the food is delicious and there is a ton to choose from. Awesome chocolate chip cookies for the kids.

Le Cellier was our favorite meal. Best steak we have ever had. The bread they serve first is awesome (pretzel, sourdough, and multigrain. Our two girls loved the bread!

We enjoyed 50's Prime Time Cafe. The adults can get in trouble by the waitstaff for various stuff. My DD 6 loved it when Daddy got in trouble by our waitress over and over. Really good fried chicken there.

Whispering Canyon Cafe. My girls really enjoyed it here. They did stick horse races around the restaurant, The hokey pokey, and the waitstaff is fun. If you ask for a fork, they bring out a 3-4 foot long fork (got great pics). Ask for ketchup and every waiter brings a bottle to your table (like more than 20). It's fun if you like that kind of stuff. The food was pretty good there too. We got the skillets, but I will try the Ribeye Steak next time.

Y'all have a great time!

I know someone before me mentioned Tusker houe for lunch or dinner I just have to add that breakfast is wonderful too. The charcter interaction there was definatley worth it. We had a great time there and all 5 of us enjoyed the food immensly. I personally really liked Chef Mickey's. Character interaction was great and desserts were wonderful, also they had prime rib on the carving station and cut me and DH nice thick pieces when I asked them to so we had nice prime rib dinners while the kids had all the choices they could want.

Oh one more tip if you have little boys that would wear plastic king crowns (like from a party store) definatley have them for CRT. My son likes playing dress up so I bought him a plastic crown and packed it in our suitcase (diden't want him feeling left out with sisters in their Tiaras) and it made the experience so much better. Cinderella made such a fuss over him, kept asking him what prince he was and whether he was related to prince charming and the waitstaff all made a big deal about it to. He thought he would hate CRT and that it was too girly but being a prince made it really fun for him.
