Hi, Deanna!
You have picked the perfect Disney Dining Plan for your family's first trip to Walt Disney World. That's our favorite!
There are some absolutely wonderful
Character Dining experiences throughout WDW parks and resorts, so you'll have to decide what works best for your family. Two iconic Character Dining locations that are my family's favorites include
Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort (right next to Magic Kingdom, so walking or taking the monorail between the two is easy), where you'll dine with Mickey and pals, and
The Crystal Palace, located right inside Magic Kingdom, where you'll WInnie the Pooh and friends. Both are buffets, which have resulted in my kids' being willing to try to many more items.
For the biggest "wow!" factor, consider booking a meal at
Cinderella's Royal Table, as the food is fantastic and you'll be dining
inside Cinderella Castle. This will use TWO Table Service entitlements, though, so choose carefully. If you like the idea of dining with Princesses, but don't want the double "cost" from your TS entitlements, then book a meal at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, at Epcot's Norway Pavilion. We love them both!
For something a little different, consider
Best Friends Breakfast featuring Lilo & Stitch, served at Disney's Polynesian Resort's
'Ohana. (Dinner is very popular there, too, but Hawaiian-style entertainment takes the place of characters at that time.) We've also had a great time at the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast that's served over at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort's 1900 Park Fare. (Watching The Mad Hatter interact with both Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland is always very entertaining.)
Have fun trying to pick, Deanna! Send more questions as you think of them; we love to help!
