On my dining plans.

It will be DH, DD 7, DD 5 and myself in November. Still a ways off, but approaching that 120 day PS window. Anyway here is our plan.

Saturday: Chef Mickey's for dinner (in time to see water pageant afterwards)
Sunday: MK counter service for lunch, dinner at San Angel Inn
Monday: Probably Flame Tree for lunch, dinner at Trail's End
Tuesday: MGM day. I can't decide between Pizza Planet and Sci Fi (recognizing that the food is only so so regardless). Maybe PP for lunch and Sci Fi for a midday snack. Dinner at Le Cellier
Wednesday: Breakfast at BOMA, kids will go to Neverland Club that night
Thursday: Cindy's Castle for dinner followed by fireworks
Friday/Saturday: I want the Storybook Breakfast one of these mornings, otherwise I'll leave the days unplanned so we can revisit favorite stuff or visit things we haven't had time to do earlier.

trail's end is really very good. it is buffet, of course. the chicken is the same they serve at the HDD. le cellier is great! the cheese soup is all it is cracked up to be!

We always eat at the following:

Chef Mickey's - My kids favorite!!
San Angel Inn - Ate there for the second time last year. Dh really liked this! Kids loved it, and so did I.
Sci Fi- We always eat here. Food is So So indeed, but its usually good and the atmospher is what keeps us coming back.
Cinderellas Royal Table- is a must for us. Its so magical and we really enjoy the food. In all of our years, DH only had one meal he didn't enjoy. I have always loved it here!

I know I've said this a million times, so others are probably sick of hearing it! - But the night your kids are at Neverland Club, go to the Tambu Lounge and have Polynesian drinks and appetizers. It is so fun! Then watch the MK fireworks if they are happening.

Your choices look good! If you don't get into the Princess breakfast, how about one more character meal at the end of your trip? Your kids are the perfect age for the characters!

For the MGM day, I would definitely pick Sci Fi over Pizza Planet. Better food, full service restaurant, much more unique atmosphere. I would do lunch with desserts at Sci Fi and save Le Cellier for Fri night, since you do not have any dinner plans for that night listed.
Also the night you go to Trails End for dinner you might want to stick around to explore FW. There is a lot there that would appeal to kids the ages of yours. I.E. nightly campfire with a movie w/Chip and Dale, petting zoo, pony rides, carriage rides and also great viewing from the beach for the Electrical Water Parade.
Enjoy!

I really like the idea of drinks and appetizers at the Tambu Lounge. DH and I felt like we had plenty of sit down meals planned and didn't want to spend our only night alone doing that again. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Our second choice, if the princess breakfast doesn't work out is 1900 Park Faire breakfast. Actually DH and the kids want to do both princesses and Park Faire, but I think three character meals would be too much for us, both in terms of losing interest and expense.

Try very hard to get the Epcot Storybook Princess Breakfast, your girls will love it. We just got back last week. We have 2 girls 4&8. We did Chef Mickeys for Dinner on Sunday night as the 1st meal. This was great! Character interaction very good. A kids buffet also, that my 8 year old thought was great. My 4 year old was so excited, she ate nothing but dessert! There is a character in sight every second you are there!!!! Best Dessert Buffet anywhere in Disney!!! We did Crystal Palace for Dinner on Monday. My 4 year old slept through every second of it!! She was exhausted!!! It was good, but not as good as Chef Mickeys! On Tuesday we did the storybook breakfast. All I can say is """FABULOUS!!!!!!!!"""" The girls loved it, even my husband thought it was the best. He was not happy with the food, but did like the breakfast here and the princesses, we had 5 (Snow White, Belle, Aurora, Jasmine & Mulan!!) were wonderful and so beautiful. My 8 year old is kind of past the princess stage, but to my 4 year old they were so real and she loved every second of it. Each one came out took a lot of time with each child, we were never rushed. Just loved it. We had a large skillet filled full of eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, and wonderful cheesey potatoes. When we first sit down we had a larged tiered tray full of fruit, pasteries and muffins, waiter was very nice. This was just well worth the $$$ spent!!! As for other areas, The Flame Tree was not what we expected. The ribs were very dry. My husband was very disappointed when we had just seen the special on TV about this place. We also paid about $6.00 for a PB&J sandwich from there!!! I do hope this helps you.
