How to choose restaurants...

[meremommy]

We are scheduled to make our first trip on the dining plan. I now need to start booking the restaurants...late, i know...

1. Is there a place i can go to look at all the restaurants?
2. How do I "physically" make the reservations? Can I do it online?
3. Any "cant miss" restaurants--two girls, 2 and 5. I know there will be no way to get the cinderella palace breakfast now.

Thanks for all the tips!

I would suggest: Character Meals
1900 Park Fare Dinner: Cinderella, Prince Charming, Fairy Godmother, Suzy & Perla
Chef Mickey's Breakfast or Dinner: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Chip & Dale
Crystal Palace Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner: Pooh & Friends
There's also Norway Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner: Includes princesses

Just Fun: Whispering Canyon, 50's Prime Time, Ohana's

You can't make dining ressies online, so you will have to call.
When is your trip? I would keep trying to call for cancellations for CRT if that is something you definately want and don't forget they have lunch there also.

Definitely Chef Mickey's!!! It is very fun to ride the monorail over to the Contemporary to the restaurant. My boys (4 and 7) loved it! The food was great, character interaction was fantastic, and the service was wonderful. It is a must-do for us from now on!!!

I second Chef Mickey's. We've enjoyed the breakfast there a number of times; when my kids were small, that's the only meal they requested. If they try to seat you in one of the smaller rooms, though, ask to stay in the main room (even if you have to wait a little longer)...or try to put in a request for the main dining room when you call. The characters are much more visible and interactive in that room.

I also remember my kids enjoying 1900 Park Fare breakfast at the GF.
