In our back pack we always keep a few of those Lego figures, or something to build. If I'm feeling particularly strong, I'll bring a DK Ultimate Star Wars Sticker book, but those get heavy carrying them around and I don't trust leaving it in the stroller, (would hate for it to walk away).
While one of us goes in line, the other sits at the table with Anakin. Sometimes he prefers to play alone, other times he will want someone to play with him. He really enjoys being helpful and getting the napkins, straws, and ketchup.
His favorite eating places:
Pinochio Haus - you can watch the Small World attraction and wave to people if you sit at a window seat.
Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe - He loves sitting and watching Sunny Eclipse and has been known to break out in dance.
The Mara at AKL - he loves looking at the animals after eating, and watching the tv while eating. Usually no toys required here as long as he is near the tv.
The Riverside Mill at POR - he loves watching the giant water wheel spin. Also enjoys the kiddie area of the food court that has a coloring table and tv. At certain times of day a cm will come and read a story to the children.
Everything Pop - there is a section off to the left that is usually quieter than the rest of the food court, but this section isn't always opened.
He only likes the All Star Movie's food court because of the grilled cheese sandwich. But he often has his hands over his ears there when large groups are there.
He does not like eating at Flame Tree BBQ because it's outside where it's hot.
He likes the Comissary because of all the tvs. He doesn't like the Back Lot for some reason and gets very hyperactive in there. We haven't figured out why.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing. We can easily pack some lego figures for Luke to play with. I think it could help in keeping him occupied. However, he tends to have trouble in crowded rooms and CS places are usually very crowded. Last trip, we had a meltdown in Pizza Planet, but he did very well at Pinnochio and Pizzafari. I am wondering if it would be better to upset his schedule and eat at off times when restaurants are less busy or if that would cause more problems. What do you think?
