Suggestions please! Bringing the nieces in Feb. & would like to try something new!

[disneychic]

We are bringing some family members with us in February 2012 - my cousin, his wife and their 2 little girls (plus my mom, aunt, my brother & his girl friend and my DH of course). My cousin and his family have only been to WDW once (last Feb. when my mom used her dvc points to get them a room during our family trip). On the last trip we were at WDW for 4 nights and here is where we had dinner (we were on DDP so lunches were CS).

Tony's Town Square
Kouzzina
'Ohana
Tony's Town Square (this wasn't planned but we were at MK, the kids were hungry and they had a table available so we ate there twice)

In 2012 the girls will be 5 years old and 2 years old. We are doing the DDP again, and I'd like them to be able to try some other places for dinner. I should mention that on the last trip, Victoria (she was 4 then) was TERRIFIED of characters in costume (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, etc.) but not face characters like princes/princesses. So, I'm not sure character dining will be a good idea.

I was thinking perhaps Biergarten (we've never eaten there)
Liberty Tree Tavern
and I'm not sure where to book ADR's the other 3 nights

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

cant go wrong with the biergarten la chef de france is pretty good to but this year we tried a new place in downtown disney called raglan road its an irish pub with a live band and there are irish step dancers that preform and the food is very good i highly recomend it

Raglan Road at DTD is very good. And at Epcot try Teppan Edo. My son was very entertained watching them cook. And he looooves the food!! So did I. What about TRex at DTD??? At HS you should check out SciFi Drive-in. They get to eat in cars and watch clips. So much fun!

We love Chef's de France, Teppen Edo, and Coral Reef at Epcot. We also Magic Kingdom's Crystal Palace (breakfast) but Pooh and friends might scare your niece. Ohana and Raglan Road are a must do for us every trip. Have a great time.

For the 2 girls especially I would rec. Storybook Princess in Norway at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. We've always enjoyed our food there and the princesses are pretty good.

I also second Raglan Road-good food and can be a fun place. Personally I always ask to be seated away from the band-one night they were going to sit is right in front of the band-no thanks, we like to talk during our meals.

Teppan Edo can be good though the 2 y/o may not enjoy it. Depends on the child.

Crysal Palace has Winnie the Pooh and friends so the 5 y/o may not like them. Personally we had breakfast there and thought it was just okay. DD wasn't into WP so we left before the full rotation. Still took over an hour. Was nice getting into MK before it opened though.

Another choice for some good food is Wolfgang Puck Cafe in DTD. We ate there 3 times the last time we had DDP.

What about 1900 Park Fair at the GF? Both breakfast and dinner have face characters (b- Mary Poppins, Alice, Mad Hatter d- Ugly Step-sisters and Lady Tremaine.)

Also at the GF there is the afternoon tea, that could be fun and girly.

Thanks for the great suggestions! I think I will take some of the great advice on here and try Teppan Edo for our Epcot day, 1900 PF, and maybe Liberty Tree Tavern for the 2 days we have planned for MK and still not sure where the 4th dinner will be yet.
