The Garden Grill

This is my favorite restaurant. It is in EPCOT in The Land and it is a character dinner w/ Mickey, Chip and Dale, and sometimes Pluto. The restaurant revolves and my family and I just love it.

I would add this to your list.

OK - so we do Kona for breakfast. Should I then skip 'Ohana since we may do the Spirit of Aloha. That's alot at the Poly!!!

You have to do all three (if you have the time). They are all different.......and all among the best at WDW! You just can't forsake one for the other.

This is only one reason (of many) that the Polynesian is the best resort at WDW.

I just made a similar recommendation on another thread, but I would consider letting your DS try out one of the kid's clubs.

For example, for your Boma or Ohana nights, you could send him to Simba's Cubhouse or the Neverland Club, respectively. All kids are different, of course, but our kids absolutely loved BOTH places. There are games, toys, computers, video games, movies, other kids, and dinner (chicken fingers, pb&j, etc.) is included in the $10/hr (I think) price. After several days of family time in the parks, they appreciated the time away from us. Admittedly, our kids were older than yours at the time. Yours may enjoy it, too.

I personally would change your breakfast list a lot. You are going at a hot and crowded time of the year. I would consider exchanging some of those breakfasts in favor of lunches (which give you a mid-day break). When it is hot/crowded, it's really important to hit the parks early while it's cooler, less crowded and generally not raining (Both of our July trips featured heavy rain). Is your ds a big eater in the a.m.? That could be a reason to keep the breakfasts, of course. I, of course, am assuming you are eating breakfasts at 9 or so -- you may be planning to go early (but I think 8 is generally the earliest) or very late after touring.

I don't know if you have too many character meals or not, but I don't think they will seem very special as the week goes on because you have so many. We usually do one!

You do have two of our favorite restaurants -- Boma and Marrakesh. We also really enjoyed a birthday breakfast at 1900 Park Faire.
