Raglan Road or Morocco

[borgthe]

Which would you do. I have a 3 year old and 6 year old. It will be just me and them. 2 girls. We will be at Animal Kingdom that day. I can have a 4:45 Raglan Road or a 5:30 Morocco. Will we be able to get to Downtown Disney easily from AK?

Thanks!

I loved the Moroccan restaurant but it would depend on what kind of eaters your kids are. Are they adventurous or picky? You could also do a counter service at AK if you're worried about the time frame.

I have the dining plan and need a TS meal. My kids are picky, but it seems as though the kid meals are normal, no?

For my family, its a no brainer - RAGLAN ROAD! DH, 5yr DS, 2yr DS, and I love love Raglan Road. It has become tradition for us, that we go there on our first night. My boys are picky eaters and they have a good kids meal. And they have an Irish band that performs there nightly (9pm) and my boys can't wait to hear them. My oldest DS has been big fans of the band "tuskar rock" since he was 2.5. (we are annual pass holders). This is one of our top favs. But my DH and I eat everything and anything.

With all that being said, we haven't ever been to Morocco so this is purely a biased opinion! Good luck

I love Morocoo and will be going back on this trip but last visit it was the only place my nephew found the food strange. I am looking forward to trying Raglan Rd this trip. I think the family friendly choice is Raglan Road.

Looking at it logistically only, if you're going from AK, then Raglan Road will be easier to get to, assuming you park in the right lot (I think lot 4). If you go to Morocco, you have to park, get to the gate, go through security, then find your way to the back of the park. With the ages of your kids, the less walking the better.

On the other hand, the show at Morocco is entertaining, and the dancer often engages the little girls in the crowd to come up and dance with her. At Raglan, the entertainment doesn't start until later (often 9:00, I believe) and, while lively, is focused on pubgoers more than little girls.

If you're worried about holding double ADRs while you decide, note that you can book Raglan on Opentable.com for Orlando.

The food at Raglan is good, and that at Morocco is decent, but portions there can be small. I enjoy both, and on reading this post realize that I may have been of no help to you whatsoever . . . .

Honestly, I would make my decision based on where you would rather spend the evening. Both restaurants are good, and both will take roughly the same amount of time to get to. If you want to walk around DTD and do some shopping, then eat at Raglan Road. If you would rather go to WS in Epcot and possibly stay for illuminations, then eat in Morroco.
