Hi All

Countdown is on for us as April 1st is approaching rapidly - going for 4 days - 3 in DLP and 1 day trip to Paris.
Our plan is to eat a decent brekkie each day in the hotel, bring plenty of supplies from the supermarket for the parks etc and then eat a decent meal around 4-5pm. We dont fancy eating too late as we have 3 young lads - ages 7, 4 & 1 so hope to have them tucked up in bed by 8pm ! Give the adults some down time around Val D'Europe - staying at Val d'Elysee Hotel.
Anyway, currently making plans for restaurants and took advice given elsewhere re booking some of the more popular ones.
However, Walts is not open on the Tuesday we are there (April 3rd) and it seems Lucky Nugget closes at 4pm each day - we were hoping to eat there on Monday but last orders is at 3:15pm (too early for us)
Anyway, we got sorted for our last day Thursday as I did manage to book Cafe Mickey for the characters for our grand finale !! sitting at 6:15pm.
Of course we will have a light lunch somewhere - maybe Buzz Pizza for the kids.
My main question is what other restaurants would be suitable for a decent meal (no fast food !) around 4ish.
I was thinking of Rendez-vous des stars and or Pizzeria Belle Notte which apparently is a good italian and can also watch the parade form outside weather permitting ? There are 3 adults and 3 kids (all boys) !!

We love Belle Notte but I'd describe it as fast food. A nice option would be Annette's Diner in the Village :)
 
most of the restaurants in the park are generally fast food, even when the fare is a bit different. Bella Notte is pretty decent food though, although I have to admit I avoid the pizzas - they smell great, don't taste as great!

Toad Hall also serves nice British fare, fish and chips basically, but nice chunky chips, no fries!

Cowboy Cookout in Frontierland serves nice baked potatoes with chilli and cheese, and roast chicken...

You might not mind a bit of fast food - I really enjoy the burgers in DLP - when they're HOT anyway...
 
Thanks for that.

Looks like it's going to:

Day 1: Rainforest Cafe
Day 2: Annette's Diner
Day 3: Cafe Mickey with Characters (reservation made - our grande finale !)

Tea, Coffee, Scones & Cookies to be purchased as required !!
