Just starting our booking and need to do meal reservations asap! We are traveling with some family that have some reservations made already. I think the hoop dee do and trex. Do you think a 3 yr old boy will be able to make it trough the hoop dee do?

We usually do Chef Mickeys, Tony's, Crystal Palace for breakfast.......

We want to change it up a little. Thinking maybe Ohana? Anything else?

We always do Ohana! I was actually just looking for your other thread to answer your 1900 Park Fare question. That is another that we are trying for dinner for the first time our next trip. It's highly recommended. It's a character meal at the Grand Floridian with Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Wicked Stepmother and Stepsisters. People say it's super funny and lots of fun character interaction. I'm really looking forward to trying it out!
Play and Dine is fun at Hollywood Studios, we usually do the breakfast, Handy Manny, Agent Oso, and a couple of the Einsteins are there.
The Hoop dee doo is a lot of fun for all ages. It's dinner and a show! People love it. We haven't done it with the kids yet but had a blast when we did it together years ago.
I'll let you know if I think of anything else. What are your dates? And where are you staying? Not sure if you mentioned that in your other threads yet. We are at the Polynesian from the 10-13 and switch to Bay Lake Towers 13-21. Our longest trip yet at 11 nights, so pumped!! :sohappy:

Ohana - seems to be getting a lot of votes!

bmarkelon- we are actually leaving 7/31 and coming back 8/8. We are staying at the Dolphin. We were between that and the beach club and it was a very hard decision!! We love the boats and my son is going to flip that we get to take them all the time! So we knew where we wanted to be and keep going back to the Dolphin we have stayed there 2x before. Next time though we are hoping to stay near the MK! And we say that everytime! We did 16 days before kids and switched hotels 3 times! It was nice though, no rushing, you have so much time to get everything in and time to relax mid day. Once my husband can get some more time away we will do at least 10 days!

We have done lunch with the Little Einsteins so that must be it. I remember we walked into the park and there was a lady standing there with flyers telling ppl to make reservations. We signed right up and my daughter loved it!

The GF meal sounds fun. My daughter would love Cinderella and the Prince!!


The breakfast at the AK is getting alot of votes too! Checking it out!

Thx! So happy I found these forums! :lol:

Your children are the same distance apart mine are. And I can assure you that at 3 years my son loved HDDR, to the extent that we have to attend every visit we make....

Tusker House, as someone else mentioned, is a great choice for breakfast, as is Hollywood and Vine at DHS, along with Cape May at the Yacht Club. :wave:

We are just missing each other! We arrive the 10. I forgot to mention as other's already have that I'm sure your little guy would make it through the Hoop de Doo. Just be sure to book the earlier show!

We discovered that with smaller children it is better overall to have earlier dinning reservations. It will help prevent the later in the evening melt downs if you dine later. It won't eliminate them all, but does go a long way to help.

I could not agree with you more on this. It is a must for us too. I always book our dinners for 5-5:30.
