Party of 11 including 8 adults and 3 kids aged 4 girl, 4 boy, and 8 girl. Going for Christmas 2021 and will be eating at 1 disney spring restaurant. we narrowed it down to these 3. which one?
 
That age of kids, T-Rex.
The 8 year old girl might enjoy the dancing at Raglan Road, the 4 y.o.'s won't. Nothing for the kids at Edison.
Unless they are scared of dinosauers, they will have fun at T-Rex.
 
There is nothing for the kids at Edison. It's a cool place for the adults to hang out, but definitely not for children that young.

My friend and I had dinner at T-Rex a few years ago, that's definitely where I'd recommend for the kids. We both enjoyed it, we were probably 32 that visit? Imagine a Rainforest Cafe with only dinosaurs. Do some research on the different dining areas. There are like 3 or 4 different places and you can request a specific area to sit in.
 
Even my kids at 20 and 23 love T-Rex so definitely that for that age. Mine like the ice room because of the changing colors. Food is okay but kids at the age of yours more about the dinosaurs. Edison I would never do again. Our experience was so bad there and nothing for kids.

The ice room! YES! I forgot which one it was.

We went to the Edison TWICE, only stayed for a little bit the second time. But both times, we had horrible customer service. We made sure we had followed the dress code and everything, had reservations at 10pm, but did not get seated until 11. I would recommend seeing the place because it's pretty cool, but the overall experience was terrible.
 
Definately T-Rex for kids that age. I think they will like the atmosphere. There is also a large sand area where the kids can dig for fossils. We liked the food-there is a variety of different choices.

I vote Raglan. Our kids are 8 and 4 as well and one of the things we love about Disney World is getting them out of their comfort zone and trying new foods because it is part of an "experience." We really enjoy World Showcase dining because we are "exploring" a country and its food. Raglan has a similar experience with music and food from another country.
 
Raglan was way too loud for my kids; they were miserable. They love T-Rex though; we all do! The food at Raglan is definitely better but T-Rex food isn't bad by any means, just not interesting or memorable. But the experience is. Even the waiting area at T-Rex is fun for kids, while Raglan has nothing. I haven't been to the Edison yet but will save that for a date night with DH.
 
If your kids like good food then Raglan Road, if not then T-Rex
 
Unless the kids are especially afraid of loud noises (the meteor comes to kill the dinosaurs every 15 minutes) then T-Rex. For a group of 11 I think you can sit at the large table under the giant jellyfish, which is one of my favorites.

Just stay to “safe” classics like burgers/ribs/fried shrimp etc that are hard to mess up.

Another vote for T-Rex. You may like Rainforest Cafe as another choice for young children.
 
We haven't been to the other two, but we have been to the T-Rex twice and plan to return.
The first time we went, DS was 23 months old and was a bit afraid of the dinosaurs, but the rest of us pointed at the animatronics and laughed at them like they were funny and he lost some of his fear.
The second time we went, DS was 4 and oldest was 9. Everyone loved it.
 
T-rex and Raglan Road are both excellent choices. T-rex Dinos are entertaining for the youngest. The shows at Raglan road are very fun, even if you don't have a kid that wants to participate (only about 10 min of the show is the kid participating part), the rest of the show is very fun too. And the food is good (surprisingly good at both, Raglan is better food, but I liked the food at Trex too, esp the apps)
