Favorite non-character meals for 6 kids??

[nicki.momof3]

We are going to WDW at Easter on the DDP. We know about all the character meals and will be attending many. However, we are looking for some DIS advise on fun non character meals for kids.

We will be traveling with 6 kids (ages 7,7,6,6,5,3) so we are looking for sit down dinners that are not buffet but will keep them entertained.

We know about:
Sci-Fi and will be going there for sure.

What else would they like?

Have you thought about counter service? When my boys were that age they way preferred the CS meals so they didn't have to waste time on eating. Also the Whispering Canyon was fun for them if you are wanting a resort meal somewhere.

We will be doing counter service however on the last 2 trip the kids have liked the down time a sit down meal offers. We always do a sit down dinner - it gives us a little sitting time.

In addition to Whispering Canyon Cafe:

Coral Reef at Epcot has the large aquarium where you watch fish and a huge turtle swim around while you dine. The decor is as if you are underwater too.

50's PTC at DHS has black/white TV's and the CM's have their antics.

Rainforest Cafe and T-Rex has animated animals/dinosaurs.

Along with all the character meals (her favorites), DD6 also recommends:

Biergarten (loved the music and being able to get up and dance) ETA: Oops, this is a buffet.
'Ohana (Parade, hula lessons etc...)
Whispering Canyon Cafe (stick pony race, running the ketchup around...)
Coral Reef (fish tank)
Teppan Edo (they cook in front of you)

Everywhere is kid friendly though (except V&A's) so don't forget to pick a place you really want to try too.

Ohana. We eat there every year. It is all you can eat and there is entertainment without characters
