Cinderella's Royal Table - we love this, fun for the princess in the family, going again on my DD 11th bday in march
Hollywood & Vine (my daughter is a HUGE Little Einstein's fan) haven't been since 05 - ok for a buffet
Le Cellier last time in 03 for very late dinner, don't remember much except had a really good steak
Mama Melroseyummy, but service can be very slow
Whispering Canyon Cafe yummy too, ask for ketchup...
Tony's Town Square never been, but trying for first time in march

Thanks Everyone!

gave my remarks in red, enjoy your trip

Get rid of Mama Melrose...it's terrible. All of your other choices are great...especially for your party.

Cinderella's Royal Table Great experience for older kids, OK food (price does not equal the food, you're paying for the experience & setting not the food...think it's way too pricey to justify for such little ones. Don't think I'd take a 3 yr. old there...I'd wait until child was 5 or 6, JMHO.)

Hollywood & Vine (my daughter is a HUGE Little Einstein's fan) Very mediocre food, bad service. Cute characters.Le Cellier

Mama Melrose Good food, incredibly slow service 2 out of 3 times we were there

Whispering Canyon Cafe one of the few Disney restaurants we have not gone to.

Tony's Town Square Just barely OK food, service was good.

Love Le Cellier--mushroom filet & cheddar soup. Super good.

Thanks Everyone!

For such little kids, I think I'd skip the castle & Tony's...try Crystal Palace buffet at the Magic Kingdom instead (Winnie the Pooh and friends) If you really want a princess experience, I'd go to 1900 Park Fare buffet dinner over at Grand Floridian (easy monorail ride from Magic Kingdom.) Much less expensive, actually thought the food was better at Park Fare. At dinner, you get Cinderella & Prince Charming visiting the table (as well as dancing with the little ones) And you get to see the stepsisters in action...very funny for adults too.

Only ate at the first 3 places, so I can only comment on them.

CRT--definetly must be done once in your lifetime, but like pp said, the experience (and price!) is lost on such little ones. I would wait until they're older. My kids were 8, 6, and 1. It was wasted on the 1yo, but everyone else enjoyed the meal. We still have the wands that the girls got.

H&V--We ate there in 2006 right after they started character dining. My kids were into Little Einsteins at the time and they loved it. The place was empty so the characters were at our table for 10-15 minutes! The food was mediocre at best.

Le Cellier--We had lunch there with our 2 older kids. Great meal but not really a place that younger ones will appreciate. It is very dark even at lunchtime and I wouldn't use 2TS credits for dinner.

Hope this helps.
