My children are a 12 year old girl and an 8 year old boy. They are too old for the typical princess/ Winnie the Pooh character meet and greet but we would like to visit some special dinners and events, any suggestions?

Hi Cynthia! This is a great question. I would suggest making some Advance Dining Reservations at some of the following places that children typically love: Whispering Canyon Cafe in the Wilderness Lodge Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater in Disney's Hollywood Studios Coral Reef Restaurant in Epcot San Angel Inn in Epcot Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue at Fort Wilderness. You should also consider making a reservation for the Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage. That is a wonderful event for guests of all ages. It is fabulous watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks from a boat on the Seven Seas Lagoon. I hope this helps! Please write back with more questions!
