We have a two year old daughter and by the time we go in September our 6 month old will be celebrating her first birthday, so we're in a similar boat. Last year we took our two year old to celebrate her first birthday and several restaurants were a big hit with her, so we will be going back to a few of them.
Biergarten - She LOVED the band here and actually the food can be pretty kid friendly. This was a lot of fun for the whole family. We will be back in September.
Garden Grill - The food was really good but best of all was the character interaction. We spent our daughter's first birthday meal here and it was the BEST choice for us. Mickey and Pluto were great and spent a lot of time at our table but really Chip and Dale made the meal. They were GREAT with our daughter and made the meal a lot of fun. Again this is something we're doing again in September and actually we'll be celebrating our other daughter's first birthday here.
'Ohana - Breakfast with Mickey, Pluto, Lilo and Stitch. The food is fantastic! And I'm NOT a breakfast person, so that's saying something!
The characters were a lot of fun, but honestly there is something magical about starting your day looking at the castle while you enjoy your breakfast. Also they have a kids parade that goes around the restaurant. Lots of fun for the little ones. And it's not a buffet so the parents get a bit of a break from the buffet scene.
Coral Reef - IF you can get a table by the window. You might have a longer wait, but it's a nice treat for the kids if you are able to get close enough to the tank for them to enjoy the fish.
Whispering Canyon - Absolutely NO worries about your kids being too loud here.
The restaurant is a lot of fun and definitely kid friendly. With the pony races and the ketchup gag, this restaurant can be super fun for kids. And we really like the food, too.
Chef Mickey's - Okay, this one is obvious.
We'll be trying Chef Mickey's for breakfast this year. But we are normally dinner visitors. And honestly in all the years we've gone here we've never had a bad meal. I always get a little confused when I hear that the food isn't as good, but we've always had a good experience. And we've also had good experience with the servers here as well. And the characters are always fun.
Crystal Palace - While we have been for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We really prefer breakfast here. Pooh and friends are a lot of fun and the food is good, but like I said we prefer breakfast to the other meals here.
We will be trying
Sanaa this year for an early dinner and we are hoping to request a table by the window since I've heard that you can see the animals from the tables. We will also be trying
Cinderella's Royal Table this year as well. Our oldest daughter LOVES princesses and we're not too keen on going back to
Akershus after two really bad visits. Maybe we will try it again in a few years. If we can fit it in we will probably be heading back to
1900 Park Fare. If you go for breakfast you get to see Pooh, Tigger, Mary Poppins, Alice and the Mad Hatter. Dinner is Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella. Still not sure if we want to go for breakfast or dinner, but breakfast was really good last year. Another restaurant we enjoyed was
Cape May, it's a buffet so everyone was able to get what they wanted but our daughter (and my husband) really liked being able to color on the table as well.
Eventhough we didn't have any characters for dinner, this was a really enjoyable buffet.
Hope this helps a little!
the food is great too by the way!)
