What reservations do you like for families with toddlers?

We have reservations for cinderalla's castle and be our guest. Are there any places I missing that you like to take toddlers to?

If you're going to be at HS, look into Hollywood and Vine with the Disney Jr. characters - it's a lot of fun!

My daughter, who isn't a fan of Winnie the Pooh movies LOVED Crystal Palace and had so much fun with the all of the characters there. We went for an early breakfast and got there early enough to take lots of photos up and down Main St and in front of the castle with a near empty park. It was a great start to the day!

I've also heard good things about the Hollywood & Vine Disney Junior meals-I think it's limited to breakfast and lunch. We're heading there for breakfast in June.

We went in November with our 2 yr old and here were her favorites:

1. Akershus (we went twice - once for dinner and once for breakfast..she loved this so much!) food is fabulous!
2. Hollywood and Vine - again she loved and despite the terrible reviews on here, we adults thought the food was pretty good. Try the build your own pasta. I will say she are terrible here because she was dancing and way more interested in hanging with the characters than with eating...
3. Chef Mickeys - we did this our last morning and she loved the characters. Food was good for breakfast
4. BOG - lunch - she loved the castle. We loved the convenience and food

We are going again in July and we will be doing atleast 1,2,and 4 again. We may add some new ones and may add Chef Mickeys back.

Crystal Palace was a big hit with my kids and if you have a princess you should try CRT at least once.

Our kids have always loved Ohana for breakfast (Lilo and Stitch, Mickey, Pluto). The food is wonderful and served family style which I find to be much easier with small children than buffets. At Ohana they do a parade with the characters and all of the kids get maracas to shake in the parade.

They have also loved Biergarten at Epcot since they were toddlers. There are no characters but there is a German band that the kids love to dance to. There is a dance floor next to the stage and it is enclosed so if you get seated at one of the front tables the adults really don't even have to go out on the dance floor because you can see everything from the tables. Oh and the Mac n' cheese is incredible!

We tried Garden Grill at Epcot last year and that was a big hit too. The restaurant rotates and the meal is also served family style. The characters are Chip n Dale, Mickey and Pluto. This meal actually had the best character interaction if any we've tried.

Oh I forgot about Chef Mickey's - that's a must do with a toddler! The dancing and napkin waving with Mickey is a great way to start the trip. My kids always request it.

We have taken a 1 year old to BOG and the other kids were 4 and 6 at the time. Other than the ambiance it was a let down. The kids meals are very limited and they don't budge on not offering substitutions. Some of the rooms are very dark. My 4 year old was scared of the dark rooms and both the 1 year old and 4 year old were scared of the Beast - he's huge. For a 2 year old BOG might be better with a fastpass for lunch.

Crystal Palace, Chef Mickeys and Tuskar House

Tusker House for Donald's Safari Breakfast is a good one. Crystal Palace is also a favorite of ours too.
