Hi, Jes! Congratulations on securing some amazing Advanced Dining Reservations. Your son's birthday trip is already off to quite an amazing start. Good job, mom!
My boys' favorite restaurant is Teppan Edo in the Japan Pavilion at Epcot. Teppan Edo is a hibachi-style restaurant where the chef prepares your meal with flair right before your eyes! The Cast Members who cook and serve at this restaurant are simply amazing, and truly put forth great effort to be sure you have an unforgettable experience. I am unsure if it is the food or the way it is cooked - but my boys always clean their plates while dining at Teppan Edo!
Their second pick would be a down-home comfort meal at The Garden Grill, also at Epcot. This entire restaurant very slowly rotates, offering glimpses of Living with the Land below. Chip ‘n’ Dale are your hosts and they are always so much fun! They usually get my youngest belly giggling in no time. Other Disney friends are known to stop by, so keep an eye out! Some of the vegetables served at this restaurant are grown right in the Living with the Land attraction. It is a great idea to ride this attraction before your meal to learn more about how your food was grown.
Wishing you and your family a magical vacation, Jes!
