Making ADRs soon, please help

[acjsmom]

I will be making our ADRs soon and need a little help deciding what to book. I think we are going to do two, CRT for sure and one other. We are a party of seven, four adults and three children (6, 4, and 2). I was thinking about Hollywood and Vine with JoJo and the Little Einsteins, but I am open to other suggestions. I *think* we are doing CRT for breakfast. We will actually be at the parks for four days.

Please, any help is appreciated. I am starting to stress already.

Well, if you're only doing 2 TS restaurants (1 of those being CRT) and you want both of them to be character meals, I'd probably choose Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort or the Garden Grill at Epcot - just so your children will have a meal with Mickey Mouse. This is unless, of course, your children simply must see the Play & Dine characters!

Chef Mickey's is a buffet, and the characters are normally Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, and, I think, Donald Duck. The food at the Garden Grill is served family-style, and the characters are normally Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Chip, & Dale.

I love Chef Mickey's for its fun atmosphere - napkin twirling, the monorail running above the restaurant, the traditional characters, etc. Plus, the Contemporary is right next to the Magic Kingdom. Chef Mickey's just feels like the perfect Disney dining experience to me. We've only eaten there for breakfast, and the food was decent - typical buffet fare. So I can't offer any opinions on the dinner buffet.

I would have to agree. Chef Mickey's is wonderful! Full of Disney spirit. I also think:
MGM: Sci-Fi and 50's are great
EC:Biergarten-Germany
AKL:Boma
Poly:Ohana

These are great places and super for families.....
