Hi Shannon,
I have an 8-year old son and these are his favourite Character Meals:-
1/
Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort
2/
Ohana's Best Friends Breakfast with Lilo & Stitch at Disney's Polynesian Resort
3/
Donald's Safari Breakfast at Tusker House in Disney's Animal Kingdom
If your little guy is a fan of Disney Junior, I would also highly recommend that you make a dining reservation for the
Play 'n Dine at Hollywood & Vine in Disney's Hollywood Studios.
As far as non Character Meals go, we have also found the following restaurants to be great fun for boys:-
1/ Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
2/ Ohana's at Disney's Polynesian Resort
Last but by no means least, Pizza Planet at Disney's Hollywood Studios is also a great choice for a Quick-Service meal for any Toy Story fans.
I hope that this has helped and wish you a magical trip!
