Dinner suggestions for 5 & 7 yr old

[MNRMommy]

I apologize if this is a thread that has been done many times but I can't get the search engine to help me so I thought you guys could. Anyway, I have the following restaurants planned for our trip and need a few more dinner ideas that are good for kids. So far we have:

Ohana's
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Hoop De Doo Review
Mama Melrose
Cape May Buffet

We are also planning on eating at Crystal Palace; 50's Prime Time Cafe & CRT for lunch

So any suggestions? My DS is 6 (turning 7 while we are there) and my DS is 4 (turning 5). I had thought about Chef Mickeys if y'all think they would like it. Any suggestions welcome.

Chef Mickey's is a great choice for that age! My younger sister who was 9 turning 10 at WDW loved it! It was Thanksgiving Dinner, but to me it looked like the same kind of food as any other day. Make sure to let them know it's your child's b-day. They'll get a card sign by mickey,placemat, and confetti on the table.

My 2 and 6 year olds loved Chef Mickeys, they have dancing and napkin twirling. They loved Whispering Canyon also, they have a lot of antics, that we did not participate in as we were in a smaller dining room and not the larger, main room. My kids enjoyed Ohana, the food was great (esp the wings) and seeing the fireworks from our table, priceless, they too have activities the kids can participate in, coconut races, we also did not participate in, as it occurred in another area of the dining room, not close to where we were. Haven't tried the others, but am looking forward to Crystal Palace and Cape May.

Hope you and the family enjoy your choices and your children's first trip!

Akershus also offers lunch with the princesses.personally, i preferred the food there compared to the CRT breakfast. Crystal palace, chef mickey are good choices.Park fare 1800 also offers good food but fewer characters.Alice and the mad hatter tea party is also available at park fare.My kids had a great time with Hatter.oh, the rainforest cafe is also an interesting place to eat though there's no character there.If your son likes spiderman, you may consider the spiderman bf at universal's island of adventure. The food there is terrible though but because it is less patronised, the charaters have plenty of time to talk to your kids.We also saw cat in the hat and thing one thing two while we were there.BTW you don't need an admission ticket to eat at the spiderman's(Not actual name of the restaurant, sorry, forgot what it is).
