dinner in magic kingdom

[tribecamom]

We have CP for breakfast and are not interested in doing the castle again...LTT without the characters doesn't appeal. So what are your TS recommendations in the MK?

thanks (kids are 6 and 7 if that helps)

We enjoy Tony's, but others do not find it as appealing. We usually go there for lunch though...never done dinner.

If you want something simple The Plaza is a must- they have the best club sandwiches.

The Magic Kingdom really needs to improve their table service options.... Counter Service too come to think of it. I don't have any favorites.

Here is an idea... Chef Mickeys in the morning (before the park opens) and CP later in the afternoon or evening.

We have always liked The Plaza for sandwiches and milkshakes.

the Plaza is a nice change of pace

CP really is wonderful for dinner. The food is fantastic. I would do what the above poster suggested and do the early seating (7 or 7:30AM) at Chef Mickey's for breakfast and do CP for dinner. With an early breakfast sitting at Chef Mickey's you can still get to MK before it opens via the monorail (don't do this on an EMH morning though).

Otherwise you could always reverse it and go Chef Mickey's for dinner.

Another option is to take a quick ride on the monorail to any of the monorail resorts for dinner. Here are your choices:

Grand Floridian: 1900 Park Fare (Cinderella, Prince CHarming and company...buffet); Grand Floridian Cafe (a la carte TS); and of course the signature places, Citrico's and Narcoossee's but those are more expensive.

Polynesian: Kona Cafe (a la carte TS); Ohana (family style all you can eat dinner)

Contemporary: Chef Mickey's as mentioned above; The Wave (a la carte TS); signature restaurant California Grille

Or, you could always take the boat to the Wilderness Lodge and dine at Whispering Canyon Cafe which is supposed to be great for kids. They have the all-you-can-eat skillet option there plus an a la carte menu.

Another option is the boat to Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. They have Trail's End buffet, which is less expensive for TS.

So as you can see you have many options, considering all the resorts that are easy to get to from MK. And it is also very easy to get back to the park for evening activities.
