Hi Gigi, Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel!
Top dinner choices for my boys are:
Chef Mickey's for the wonderful character interaction and fantastic food selection on the buffet. They have a "make-your-own-ice-cream sundae" bar with oodles of toppings (behind Mickey in the photo shown in the link above).
'Ohana in the Polynesian. This delicious meal includes fun activities for kids like coconut rolling races, hula lessons and limbo. It's a great atmosphere and they do a great job of keeping kids entertained.
Another popular choice is:
Whispering Canyon Cafe in the Wilderness Lodge which offers antics that young boys in particular enjoy. For example, have your 9 year old son ask for ketchup (he could very well end up with 10 bottles of it in front of him).
Hope this gives you some ideas and that you have a magical vacation,
Kaylene
