Where to eat?

[ewerstruly]

Where's the most fun spot for kids to eat (that won't break the bank)? Must you have a reservation to get into these (ones that have characters?

I don;t know if you want in a park or out but my fave would Whispering Canyon Cafe at WL and 50's prime time at HS...both would need Reservations just like all TS in WDW

to the DISboards, ewerstruly!


There are SO MANY great places to dine.

Some with characters, some without.

Here's a breakdown of the character meals: http://www.wdwinfo.com/Just_for_kids/character_dining.cfm

Which one your kids will love depends a lot on your kids, although I'm guessing you probably can't go wrong with Chef Mickey's.

But Advance Reservations are strongly recommended for most, if not all, of them.

I agree that it's hard to go wrong with Chef Mickey's. There are other places with better food but CM's is a lot of fun and you get Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy and Donald.

I think it depends mainly on what characters the kids want to meet. We also really love the breakfast at O'hana. They have Mickey, Pluto, Lilo and Stich.

All the character meals are expensive but it's a really nice splurge. If you want to save a few dollars here's my advice.....

Make your breakfast ADR at Chef Mickey's(or O'hana...they are both at monorail resorts) on a day when it is EMH morning at MK. Get the very last time that they have, it will be around 11am. Get up early and have a snack in your room then go and enjoy the MK until about 10:30am. Head over to CM's for you 11am ADR. If you arrived at MK around 8am you will be ready for a break and an early lunch by your 11am ADR. After your meal you can either go back to MK for the rest of the day or you can return to your room to relax for another few hours before going back to MK for the evening. If you have park hoppers you can go to which ever park you like.

My kids enjoyed the Sci-Fi Theatre @ DHS. ADR's are needed. They enjoyed the atmosphere and the B movies.

I would vote for these two as well. My boys 6 and 9 love going to these places. If you play along at 50's Prime Time you can really give your kids a great memory - they like to see their parents yelled at!!!

how old are your kids ewer? Biergarten can be a lot of fun for kids if you go for dinner when a show is playing. When the german band is playing their music, a lot of the kids go up on state and start dancing with each other. Probably 10 and under..

The coral reef! My children enjoyed sitting by the aquarium and identifying the different sea life on the placemat. We will be returning this April as it was a favorite!

Yes you want to be sure to make ADRs ahead of time.
