What meals should we add - will have a 3 y.o.

[lecach]

We've never been with a child before. When my Mom and I go to WDW we only eat in the parks and we eat a lot of TS meals. When DH and I go together we don't eat as many TS since he's not as adventurous.

This trip it'll be me, DH, 3 y.o DS, my Mom, MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL. All the grandparents will be more on a budget. And the inlaws are not adventurous at all. The last time they went MIL took a suitcase of food to eat in the room and they didn't eat a single TS meal the whole week.

This is what I have planned so far. I need more but I am not sure what.

Sunday - arrival, possibly go to a park. If not, dinner at Rainforest (DS will love it)

Monday - MK
breakfast at Crystal Palace

Tuesday - Hollywood Studios
lunch at 50's prime time

Wednesday - water park early, Epcot later
dinner out for young adults (DH, me, SIL, BIL) - possibly at Le Cellier

Thursday - AK
dinner at Boma, probably just DH, me, Mom, DS since SIL and BIL tried it before and HATED it.

Friday - MK
possibly dinner at Chef Mickeys


That's all I have so far. I'm trying to be agreeable and include the whole family without scheduling too many expensive meals. And with a 3 y.o. buffets are definately easier.

Any advice? What would you add? We are staying at Marriott Grande Vista (free 1 bedroom villa with our Marriott points).

Im not sure if you want ideas that are good for your 3 yr old or for the whole family....anyway, I have 3 yr old twins, and we did both 50's prime time and Hollywood and Vine, both at Hollywood studios....I would say go to Hollywood & vine for your 3 yr old. It is buffet and has the Einstiens & JoJo.

I think Chef Mickey is a must. If you are doing Character meals.....you have to see Mickey and his friends! Much easier to get pictures then waiting in lines.. Have a great time.
I love breakfast at Ohana
