My boys were 3 and 7 last year when we went. The character meals are definitely a big hit with them. I would highly recommend The Crystal Palace, although we were a bit disappointed with our service last time, the food is good and you cannot beat the atmosphere. Pooh and his friends are there, and they do a parade where the kids can get up and dance. Also there is something magical about eating in MK.
My boys also love Chef Mickey's. We've only done breakfast. My husband and I feel the food isn't as good as other places, but it is a good place to see the characters.
I love BOMA as a lot of people have recommended. We went on our first trip with the boys (they were 1 and 5), and it wasn't a super "fun" one for them, but I loved the food and we will be returning next summer.
Garden Grill is another character meal with good quality food. The room turns slowly, but you hardly notice. Chip and Dale, Mickey, and one other character that I cannot recall are there.
Ohana at the Polynesian is excellent and very fun for the kids.
Whispering Canyon at the Wilderness Lodge is very fun for kids. I was not as crazy about the food, but I loved the bottomless milkshakes.
My husband and my children love Biergarten and want to go every year. The boys love the entertainment and my husband loves the food.
Le chefs is excellent, and if you time it right you will see Remy.
There are other restaurants that we are looking forward to going to this year, but I don't want to recommend them until I have tried them myself.
let us know where you go!
