Your Kids Favourites!

Good Evening People. I just got a e -mail tonight from a friend who has booked a vacation to WDW this year.He has been before years ago, but now is going with wife & child ( 5 year old ) Now apart from character meals ( he is looking into them ) what restaurant would you recommend for a 5 year old boy...I suggested T- Rex off the top of head,but is there any other I may have missed..other than character..??? Cheers.

'Ohana has games and so does Whispering Canyon Cafe. Fun!

My two boys love Whispering Canyon too!

Out of the 'fun' non-character meals, my girls enjoyed 50s the most. They didn't really get into 'Ohana or WCC. We're going to try and pop into SciFi this fall for some milk shakes to see how that sits with them. A friend of mine also gave high marks to Sanaa for the animal entertainment factor. We haven't done it, but the style of dining at Teppan Edo is usually pretty entertaining to kids and lots of kids enjoy Coral Reef.

The real shocker...DD6's fave meal of her 5th birthday trip was Cali Grill. We had a nice view of MK and the meal worked out so that we were being served dessert just as Wishes started. She thought it was magical...an amazing server helped as well.

While not quite as formal, Beaches & Cream also ranks high with the kids.

Many thanks..

T-rex or Rainforest café for sure! I think Coral Reef is another great suggestion!

For a 5 year old boy I say go to Chefs de France and have a meal with Remy. My ds just loves the whole experience. I think the most fun counter service with children is Cosmic Rays and tell them to grab a seat by Sunny Eclipse and enjoy the show!

If it's re-opened when your friend visits, I recommend the California Grill, the view is great as is watching "Wishes" from the roof of the Contemporary. We took my son at age 5 and he loved it. it is a must do every trip for us.

Hoop Dee Do!! Our kids loved it the first time (5 and 3 at the time) and still do (now 10 and 8). We are doing it again this summer!

My boys love Pizza Planet. I personally think its horrible!

Couldn't agree more!!!! I'll let my kids play in there while one of us is watching them (drawer of the short straw) But I won't let them eat there!

 

[Zman-ks]

My girls love Ohanas....also Pizza Planet (which I dislike)

 

[coltow]

My boys love Whispering Canyon and Ohana
The other places that come to mind are Sci-Fi, Coral Reef and any of the restaurtants in World Showcase they are willing to try

I third that. Honestly I could go into the frozen isle of my supermarket blindfolded and pick any frozen pizza and know that it would taste better than Pizza Planet pizza.
