    We are coming in late April with our 5 year old son. I was wondering what are the most "fun" places to eat that are not character dining but would be fun for a small child? Also, which is more fun, Mickey's Backyard BBQ or Hoop Dee Doo?

    Hi, Kim!  I asked this question to my 5 year old son who is a self-proclaimed Disney Expert!

    His number one answer was to eat at Pizza Planet at Hollywood Studios.  It is a counter service restaurant that has pizza and salads (and pretty good chocolate chip cookies!)  There is also a game room which is a nice way to get out of the hot sun for a break.

    Other restaurants my little guy enjoys: 

    *Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club Resort.  Great burgers and milk shakes.  Try ordering the "kitchen sink" for a treat for the whole family!

    *Casey's Corner:  Hot dog shop on Main Street.  My son enjoys the hot dogs and fries loves to sit on the patio and listen to the piano player

    *Teppan Edo:  In Japan in Epcot.   They cook your food right in front of you.  Keeps the kids entertained and you get a great meal.

    *Rainforest Cafe:  Two locations - Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney.  Big selection on menu and a lot of stuff to look at while dining.


    Between the Backyard BBQ and Hoop Dee Doo, I would choose the Backyard BBQ.  It is a fun dance party, and just a great way to spend the evening.

    I hope your son has a wonderful time in Disney World.

Meet the Panelist: Cathy, Ohio

Hi, I'm Cathy from Cleveland. I love to travel, especially in the winter to escape the snow and cold of Ohio! My husband and 2 kids share my enthusiasm for travel, so we enjoy our adventures together whether it is hiking at a National Park, sailing on a Disney Cruise Ship, or going to Walt Disney World which is our home away from home. My husband proposed to me in front of Cinderella Castle and we have not stopped visiting ever since! It's a blast helping guests here at planDisney!
