Firstly are you on DDp ? If not breakfasts would be cheaper, but if on DDP dinner is a better value !
Sci Fi is really neat, food is average , hamburgers are great, so are their milkshakes. Your son would love it !!
Coral Reef I haven't tried but plan too!
Liberty Tree Lunch is not character meal, but the menu looks good , We have eaten dinner there and didn't care for family style meal there!
Crystal Palce is my fav for dinner
Garden Grill great character interection but again did not really czre for family style
1900 Plan on doing supper next year
Hope this is some help!!
 
If your dd loves princesses I would definitely recommend Akershus or CRT. We've never done CRT but did Akershus for dinner. We did not like the food, but the character interaction was good. We are doing it again this trip but doing breakfast this time.

CRT - if you're looking for Princesses, do breakfast or lunch. Dinner doesn't have all the princesses.

Crystal Palace was one of our favorites last trip. We did it for lunch and this next trip we're doing it for dinner.

Liberty Tree Tavern - we thought the character interaction was wonderful...the best of all the ones we went to, but the food was just okay. We are not doing this one again.

1900 Park Fare - Did dinner last time - would you stay with dinner or do breakfast?????

Both Breakfast and Dinner are good at this place. Dinner will be Cindy, Prince, Stepsisters, and Stepmother. Breakfast is Pooh, Tigger, Alice and Mad Hatter - maybe someone else

Chef Mickey - Did dinner last time - would you stay with dinner?

We didn't care for dinner here. We liked breakfast better, but still think there are much better restaurants for character dinning

Akershus - New to us - Don't know what meal to do??????

Love the Princess interaction. We much prefer breakfast here. We didn't care for the Norwigian food at lunch

California Grill - New to us - DINNER????

Dinner is great here. It can be a LONGGGG dinner. Make sure your children won't be bored by a 2 plus hour dinner

Cinderella's Royal Table - New to us - Breakfast or Dinner???? REALLY HOPE WE GET THIS ONE!!!

We love all of the meals at CRT - but the Princesses only come to the table for breakfast and lunch. I'd probably choose lunch


The Garden Grill Restaurant - New to us DINNER?????

This is one of our favs for an Epcot lunch. We usually make a later dinner ARD at one of the world showcase countries, but we don't do the dinning plan so we eat more than one sitdown per day sometimes

Crystal Palace - We did dinner last time but open to others Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner????

We like to get an early breakfast ADR on a non-EMH morning. We think its a great way to start a Magic Kingdom day

Liberty Tree Tavern - New to us - Lunch or Dinner???

Both are great. They have two different menus. If you want characters choose dinner - they aren't there at lunch, but the meal is family style (turkey, stuffing, beef, mac and cheese, etc). Lunch has a lovely menu but no characters.


Narcoossee's - never been

Another great restaurant that can take a while. Make sure that your children are well rested and ready to sit for a while

Ohanha's - never been

I'd make this a priority. Its great family restaurant. Take a walk on the beach after dinner and if its close to fireworks time stick around and see them. Its a great view.

Rose and Crown - never been

We didn't care for the menu at this restaurant


Sci Fi - never been but really want to!!!!

Great fun. We almost always get the burgers, fries and milkshakes. I personally like the grownup milkshake with the peppermint schnaaps in it. If anyone in your family is pooh sized ask for a table car. The booth cars are a little bit tight


Coral Reef - went for dinner last time and really liked it

We've never been. Don't care for seafood


Fantasmic Show - not sure if we will do a restaurant with it or not

Those are our thoughts
 
1900 Park Fare - never been, looking forward to B-feast this year!

Crystal Palace - another one we are trying in Dec

Liberty Tree Tavern - loved it for lunch, particularly liked the potroast. We are doing dinner this time, as our DS 3ish will get a kick out of it.

Coral Reef - went last trip as our "big meal" lunch. I loved it. DH, seemed more impressed than his present enthusiasm about a return trip would suggest. We decided to not go back and burn an opportunity to try somewhere new. I will miss the blackened catfish!
 
thank all of you guys so much!!! you have helped a TON. i am definitely going to try and do dinner at 1900 and get hadleys BBB before that. she will love it :) thanks again

Liberty Tree Tavern - New to us - Lunch or Dinner???


We did lunch and really enjoyed (there are no characters at lunch). We've never done dinner.

Narcoossee's - never been

Never done

Ohanha's - never been

You don't specify breakfast or dinner. We've never done dinner and we won't go for breakfast because we don't like Stitch (sorry Stitch lovers).

Rose and Crown - never been

We do this every other year and are dining there in September.

Sci Fi - never been but really want to!!!!

Okay...haven't done since the kids were about 14 and 12 (they are now 22 and 20)

Coral Reef - went for dinner last time and really liked it

It's been too many years since we've dined here...hope to go back next year

Fantasmic Show - not sure if we will do a restaurant with it or not

Depending on when you are going and how long you want to wait in line decides whether or not you do Fantasmic Package. We are doing it at Mama Melrose (don't think Brown Derby is worth two credits--we didn't enjoy our meal there at all and we refuse to go to H&V ever again).

Hope thish helps. And I'm sure you'll enjoy wherever you choose...you are, after all, at Disney.
 
I highly recommend dinner at Ohana's!! The best food EVER!!! It's been 10 months and our group of 7 are still talking about it (and craving it!).

We lucked out and were given the big round table in the corner and were able to watch the water parade and Wishes fireworks at the end of our meal.
 
Ohanha's - DO NOT MISS - DO BREAKFAST AND DINNER!!!!!!!!!

1900 Park Fare - Never been but would do dinner with Cinderella if DD loves princesses

Chef Mickey - Sure if you liked it, we like that our DD got alot of character time they each came around a few times and took their time and didnt rush off

Akershus - Do breakfast, we were not thrilled with the food

California Grill - Do it if you can kid free but certinly not to be missed arrive early and ask for a window table and go around wishes time and step out on the balcony to watch

Cinderella's Royal Table - No prefrence, I would do dinner

The Garden Grill Restaurant - Never been, revolving around would make me sick

Crystal Palace - Is breakfast the only time with Pooh, if so i would do breakfast

Liberty Tree Tavern - never been

Narcoossee's - never been

Rose and Crown - never been

Sci Fi - Good to try if youve never been, I would only go for snacks and wouldnt wast my TS credits

Coral Reef - Good choice, ask to be close to the tank

OMG - thank you SO much for all your help. We are surprising the kids (literally sticking them in a car and driving) so I am having the hardest time holding it in :D

And yes we are only doing the rotating restaurant because it rotates so I might rethink that one.

Thank you to whoever said to just do desserts, etc at Sci Fi - GREAT IDEA!!!

Anyone know if they can make their shakes with soy instead of milk???? How would I find out? I have 2 kids allergic to milk proteins

THANKS AGAIN

I can't help with the milk proteins issue, but ask the on the DINE line when you call. At the very least have it added to your record. My nephew loved the itzakadoozie popsicle so in the parks your kids may go for those. I chose the Mickey bar.
 
thanks - i am having a VERY hard time with my daughter as she can't have eggs or gluten either. ugh - this may be more difficult than i thought.

thanks again!!!!
 
You may want to read over on the family board. Lots of parents seem to work through those allergy issues and may have some tips over there. I'm useless all we deal with are vegetarian options, but that's old hat for me now.
 
I have a question about snacks at Sci Fi.... Can you use snack credits on their milkshakes?
