OK - I have to know what happens when you order ketchup!! Anyone?

Also, here is our list of table service restaurants on free dining!! Anyone love or hate any of these (we're going 9/13 - 9/18) With me will be my DS4 and nieces 8 & 10.

1. Chef Mickey's
2. Akershus for princess lunch
3. Coral Reef or Marrakesh or Garden Grill
4. Hollywood & Vine for JoJo/Little Einsteins lunch

Our children loved Chef Mickey's. We were there for DS's bday dinner and they made a great fuss over him. Dale grabbed my DD and started waltzing around the room with her. We had plenty of time with all characters and saw many of them more than once.

As for the ketchup let's just say be careful what you ask for. Our kids had more fun though when others would ask for Ketchup and they got to "help." Be careful not to look like you are not enjoying the "fun" or they will be happy to point it out to everyone - DH got in trouble for not twirling his napkin. This place was also a fave for my kids. We celebrated both birthdays while there and they had birthday buttons given to them that they had put on their pin lanyards. Our waitress came over with a microphone and let them lead a song for the rest of the restaurant and then had them go up front later and lead some dancing and more singing. We had a blast!

The only other place we have been is Coral Reef and that was years ago on our honeymoon. I remember loving the atmosphere but don't remember the food much.

Nuts!
I'm not even planning on going there this trip, but have seen a couple of people mention it on here and my passporter's review says: "Just don't ask for ketchup. Trust us!"
I'm DYING to know!!

My kids love this restaurant. We are not eating there this trip since we are not staying there and we will miss it.

Have a great time and enjoy.

I'll be the party pooper. The waitress will get one of your nieces to stand up and well ketchup to the whole resturant and then all the kids from other tables who have ketchup will bring your table ketchup bottles and you will end up with a whole lot of ketchup bottles that you don't need.

Then when another table needs ketchup your nieces will take all the bottles over to that table. It is a lot of fun for the kids.

Cant wait for our 3YO to try this place.

We did free dining last year and Whispering Canyon was our favorite!! Lots of fun, but I didn't find it to be quite as loud and wild as everyone said it was. (It's not ever quiet at my house though!) I have three DD's 11 and twins that are 8. They loved the fun and the food and you HAVE to ask for ketchup, because it's too much fun! We also loved Crystal Palace and Coral Reef.

HYSTERICAL!

I should try to see if I can get in here for a meal - my nieces would die, but have a blast at the same time!!!

I just extended my stay for 2 more days and somehow got free dining for those two days too. I'm gonna see if I can add this to my list of ADRs for the week!

This is what happens

 

[jenandkam]

LOL!
They look like they were great sports about it!

This is what happens

Look at the little girl in the background. That was my reaction when the kid next to us asked for ketchup.

My son and I had a blast at WCC. Our waiter, Tiny, gave me a hard time because I was taking pictures of our food. He wanted to know if I worked for the FBI or CIA.

We weren't impressed with the food. However, we're both looking forward to returning in August. This time we'll just avoid the skillet.

 

[I Believe n Fairies]

We're SO looking forward to this! This trip is just me and dh and we're eating at WCC. I'll be sure not to warn him about ketchup. That will be TOO FUNNY!!
