Pick 2 adr

[SunnieRN]

I would vote for Askerhaus in Epcot, as there are princesses there. Much nicer than waiting in lines and it is only 1 table service credit on the dining plan.

My other vote is for Tusker House, in Animal Kingdom. This has Mickey and the gang in safari outfits. It is a buffet, but has some choices that are not standard buffet fare as well as regular buffet choices.

If u had to pick just two adrs for a family with a 7 and 9 year old girls that are casual What would you recommend?

My food selections would be predicated on where I plan to be.

My suggestions are:

a.) Princess Experience
-- Cinderella's Royal Table inside her Castle in Magic Kingdom. We find the value at lunch works best for us.
-- Akershus inside Norway at Epcot. With new attractions & Meet-n-Greet, breakfast before Park opening is the strategy here to utilize your Tier-1 FP+ on either Test Track or Soarin'.

b.) Character Meals
-- 1900 Park Fare at dinner with Cinderella's evil step-sisters is more fun than you might think.
-- I'm a fan of Goofy and, therefore, enjoy Cape May for breakfast, but you likely have a favorite Character and this can dictate an alternative.

c.) Uniquely Disney
-- Epcot has many fun places. Despite mixed opinions about the food, we enjoy Coral Reef. Biergarten is another fun place.
-- Hollywood Studios has Sci-Fi Theater and the antics & formica at 50's Prime Time.

d.) [Downtown] Disney Springs
-- Too much to chose, but we've also had fun with a show at Cirque de Soleil and a meal at House of Blues.
-- If it works for you during vacation - you can also just stop at some of the many places along and undefined path.

e.) Resorts
-- Wilderness Lodge has Whispering Canyon for an antics fueled meal.
-- AKLodge has Sanaa for daylight view of animals on the Savannah.
-- Monorail Loop Resorts have an opportunity to include nighttime fireworks at CA Grill & Narcoossee's.

I was going to type exactly this! We loved that Akershus also came with a photo package that included the photos you take with the Disney princess at the beginning, plus you get to meet several princesses that come around to your table during the meal. As far as "casual" goes, I'm not sure. The menu is a cold cuts/meats/cold food buffet at the beginning, and then you order your main dish off of the menu. This is all for only one DDP credit, which was amazing to me.

Tusker House! If you can do the character breakfast at Tusker House, I would highly recommend it. We really enjoyed the food! I'm not sure about DDP credit cost on this one, when we did it we weren't on the plan.

Chef Mickey's and Cinderella's Royal Table

 

[gypsicat]

These were my 7 year old DD's picks. (Disclaimer: she is princess obsessed)

Cinderella's Royal Table. To her the princesses are a bonus, she is super excited about eating in the castle.
Akershus- For the princesses
Tusker House- She likes buffets and wanted to meet the characters
BOG Dinner- She wanted to go inside Beast's castle and get a picture with the Beast
'Ohana - She wanted breakfast to see Stitch (this didn't work with my plans so she is OK with dinner)

Some others she considered- Chef Mickey's (she chose Tusker House in the end), H&V (she really wanted this but ultimately picked princesses), 1900 Park Fare (A late pick but I have not been able to find an opening for 8. It seems very entertaining)

I know that wasn't a huge help but they were the picks from a 7 year old girl who spent weeks watching videos and looking over menus with me while deciding our plan.
