Liberty Tree Tavern-Dinner - no more characters.
Donalds Safari @ Tusker House-Breakfast - good choice
Cap 'n' Jacks-Dinner - no
'Ohana-Breakfast - yes
Coral Reef-Dinner - okay, wouldn't be my first choice. On the darker side and cool b/c you can see the fish
Chef Mickey-Breakfast - great choice for kiddies
Hollywood Brown Derby-Lunch - no, not for kids
Play 'n' Dine @ Hollywood & Vine-Breakfast - just for kids - good choice
Sci Fi Dine In-Lunch - okay - can be kind of scary b/c it is in the dark and a big movie screen
Le Cellier-Dinner - not for kids (but I have seen them there and they were fine)
Princess storybook breakfast @ Akershus - especially if you have a DD
Whispering Canyon-Lunch - designed for kids to be loud and crazy for the kids
Tony's Town Square-Dinner - okay - good mix of kids b/c it is one of the few in MK
Crystal Palace-Breakfast - absolutely, great for kids!
Plaza restaurant-Lunch - again, a MK local so lots of kids
Cinderella's Gala Feast @ 1900 Park Fare-Dinner - absolutely, great for kids!

'Ohana-Breakfast Haven't done since they changed it to Family Style (we don't care for Stitch)
Coral Reef-Dinner Haven't done in years--but always liked it
Chef Mickey-Breakfast A good meal and fun times
Hollywood Brown Derby-Lunch Did not care for--bad service, mediocre food (we've not given it a second try...don't want to waste two credits on it)
Play 'n' Dine @ Hollywood & Vine-Breakfast Hated dinner and won't go back (did it twice--horrible), but can't imagine they can mess up breakfast
Sci Fi Dine In-Lunch Always enjoyed
Le Cellier-Dinner Our favorite restaurant at Disney
Princess storybook breakfast @ Akershus Did lunch, it was okay
Whispering Canyon-Lunch Worse meal of our trip last month--DH got sick on the skillet
Tony's Town Square-Dinner We like Tony's, although we prefer lunch--not so rushed and the portions are smaller

Plaza restaurant-Lunch A must do for us every year--love it (get the hot fudge sundae for dessert)
Cinderella's Gala Feast @ 1900 Park Fare-Dinner Never done

Liberty Tree Tavern-Dinner - As was said, no more character, but would say its still kid friendly. All you care to eat, family style "thanksgiving type" dinner + beef,

'Ohana-Breakfast Kid friendly. Not a exceptional event in my opinon, but then most breakfasts at WDW are along the same lines.


Sci Fi Dine In-Lunch Sitting in the "cars" with kids may be interesting. You might be better off asking for the tables. The cars make you sit two by two behind each other. The movie clips are not really FOR kids, but I would not call them anything a kid should not watch either.

Le Cellier-Dinner Overrated but go ahead and bring the kids.

Princess storybook breakfast @ Akershus Kid friendly. Lots of Princesses. Again, pretty much a standard WDW breakfast, but you can get some Norsk items here as well. If doing a character breakfast, this is my choice

Tony's Town Square-Dinner Kids friendly, but not a kids place or anything like that. Olive Garden type food. If you go in expecting that, then you won't be disappointed. If you go in expecting more, well, you are not going to get it.


Cinderella's Gala Feast @ 1900 Park Fare-Dinner Well of course it's kids friendly. I think its overrated. But it IS in the castle and that may make up for the whole thing. What would I do? I would pass on it for now, and wait till you kids are a bit older and can really remember being in the castle before dropping the coin on an OK meal Edit - Somehow I had read the restaruant as Cinderella's Royal Table. What I wrote makes no sense when talking about 1900 Park Fare

In reality, almost evey place on property is kid friendly, provided your kids (and you) are restaruant friendly. If they can remain pretty much quiet, and if they do act up you have no problems leaving with them, then most places are fine. V&A of course prohibits childern, and there are a few other places I would not take young kids, but none on your list.

I was just there in August and ate at a few of these with a 5yo (nephew) and 2 DSs 4yo and 17mo

Liberty Tree Tavern-Dinner We loved this even w/o characters the food is still very yummy

Coral Reef-Dinner We were very impressed. The fish tank gave the kids plenty of entertainment and the food was top notch

Play 'n' Dine @ Hollywood & Vine-Lunch We did the breakfast and the restaurant was empty. I think that because of the characters that are here not so many people go. We ate at 10am and there were only 2 other table occupied on our side of the restaurant. The kids got tons of character time and each character came by probably 5 times. The food though was only ok.

Le Cellier-Dinner The adults loved the food the kids didn't like the atmosphere. They got very bored very quick.

Crystal Palace-Breakfast We have been here a few times and on the last trip were very disappointed. The charcters were not up to par with us. They were not friendly and were very rushed. DS even tried to talk to them and they sort of gave him the brush off. We don't think we'll be going back for awhile.

Cinderella's Gala Feast @ 1900 Park Fare-Dinner OMG! Amazing. We picked the dinner because it was so "girly" and boy were we right. The Fairy Godmother and Mice were very cute and fun to watch. We all also loved every bit of food we got there. We also found the wait staff here to be the best on property.
