First night meal?

[dgtolbert222]

we arrive in orlando via delta flight at 10:30 am, we plan on hangin out at the hotel and DtD ( i think) it is myself, my wife, my 6 year old girl, my 4 year old girl and my 8 month old girl. What would be a great (here we are at DW) place to eat for my family. We are staying at CR, we have park hopper tickets and yes we even have a ticket to use the day we get there. We have planned for our trip-
b'fast chef mickeys
b' fast at norway pav
b'fast donalds breakfast at AK
dinner at the castle on our last night there.

we will eat anywhere, any park i just dont know where i can take the kids to feel the magic the first night..

The Crystal Palace has a nice character meal. It' Pooh and the gang.

I would normally suggest Chef Mickey's but you've already got that. Any character meal will give you that "magic" feeling. You could also try a restaurant at a resort on the monorail and go for a spin past the MK and try to catch the water parade to make it a special night.

We like to have dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern with Minnie, Goofy, and Chip and Dale on our first night. It makes for a nice first night.

Depending on the stamina of your brood, I'd say try to make reservations for Rose and Crown in Epcot for 8-ish. If at all posible try to get patio seating. You will have a seat for the Illuminations fireworks show. If you can't patio seating, you'll still be able to walk out on the patio for the presentation, and not be quite as jostled and smashed together as you could be anywhere else.

Another option, head to Fort Wilderness and eat @ Trail's end buffet. Follow that up with the campfire singalong, or maybe one of the outdoor movies, and again, depending on everyone's energy level, stay or get back to the Contemporary* for the Electric Water Pageant.

*I'm assuming by CR you mean the Contemporary and not the Carribbean. I could be wrong, and I've see some people use CR instead of CBR for the Carib. Juuuuust checking.

Try the Garden Grille at Epcot, inside The Land. It's a fun character meal, pretty low-key (well, for a character meal), is close to the entrance, and there are some great rides in the vacinity.
