Crystal Palace, The Plaza, Tusker House, Sci Fi, that's all I can think of for now...

Sci fi is awesome! And my son LOVES pizza planet, it's not table service, but fun for kids!

My favorites:
MK Crystal Palace
HS Sci Fi
Epcot Nine Dragons (I'm in the minority here!)

We mostly do counter service though.

If you have any girls I'd also try for Akershus.

Boys? Girls? Both? Picky eaters?

In Epcot for table service we ate at Akershus and Le Cellier. Akershus was a princess character meal, the food was good. Overall, I wish we had just done Akershus and skipped Cinderella's Table (I know, I know...eating in the castle and all, but the same princesses were at both and the food/prices were better at Akershus). Le Cellier is a more adult centered environment but kids don't feel too out of place, there are plenty of families and it's a good opportunity to practice manners The food was AWESOME but for picky kids, they might not like it so much.

In Magic Kingdom for table service we ate at Cinderella's Table...already shared my feelings on that. We were going to eat at Tony's one night but decided we'd rather have counter service.

In Animal Kingdom we ate breakfast at the Tusker House, LOVED it, more than I thought we would.

In Hollywood Studios we ate a buffet lunch at Hollywood&Vine, another character meal. This is definitely one you could skip but if you have kids that like Disney Jr I wouldn't. The food is okay, but the kids thought the food was the best

We've only done a few table service, so I don't have much to go by but we liked sci-fi at HS. It was really cool! The food wasn't spectacular, but the atmosphere was really neat.

Garden grill Epcot. Really good character interaction. Have a kids menu.
Agree with sci-fi for dhs.
Crystal palace if like buffet. Also good characters.

What is the cost of a character meal? Is it worth it?

 

[MandiC]

We were on the dining plan so the only difference for us was that Cibderella's Table and Le Cellier were two dining credits. The other meals (including character meals) were only one. You can find menus with prices on the disney website, as far as table service most were similar in pricing...and remember to factor in tips, even on the dining plan. It adds up.
