Family of 6 which Character Lunch

[momof2sons]

DH and I with 4 kids are going to The World in July. Was wondering what Charater Lunch would be good for 2 16 year olds (one is a boy and one is a girl), a 12 year old and a 5 year old both boys. I know all our kids will love this except the 16 year old boy (Which will mop until we get there) then he will enjoy himself. Go figure. Mopping at The World. TEENS !!!

I was thinking maybe The Garden Grill at Epcot Land or The Crystal Palace at Magic Kindom. Any other sugestions??

I know that the one is buffet and the other is severed family style.

Is it a hassel to eat at the buffet???

I have never called and made PS in advance. We usually decide where to eat the day we go to each park. Make PS as we enter and usually take the earliest time after 11am or front desk at hotel well do this for me before we leave for a park. We have eaten at the Liberty Tree Tavern once for a Character Dinner but it was only for 4. And walk in ask if there was avalibility and was seated 10 min later. (was this just good luck)

Should I call ahead to make PS in advance or Just wing it the day or two ahead??

We are not picky on a certain time to eat. We often tend to eat sporadically at home due to everyones work schedual.

I would suggest Crystal Palace. Tigger might be fun for the boys too. CP is a great way to rest in the middle of hot July day as well - we love it there.

We love lunch at the Crystal Palace and Garden Grill. THe characters at both are great! You really get a LOT of character interaction at Garden Grill. I bet the characters will really have fun with your teens. I'm sure they will really try to get them to ham it up and have fun!

Thanks Tiger Fan and tink2.

I think we are going to do both. We need to eat a good meal at least once day.
