Hi Christine!!!
Congratulations on your first Walt Disney World Vacation!!! I know that your family must be very excited about this.
Making the right Advance Dining Reservations for the Disney Restaurants you wish to dine at is a very important task to fully enjoy your Walt Disney World Vacation!!
There are a few restaurants that I would encourage you to look into just in case you can't get the Advance Dining Reservations you want. The first restaurant I would recommend is the
Coral Reef at Epcot. This restaurant offers a wonderful menu and some of the most spectacular views of any restaurant at Walt Disney World. You will get to look into the Seas with Nemo and Friends Aquarium while you dine.
Since you do have children I would encourage you to look into a character dining experience or two for your children in addition to Cinderella's Royal Table. The first character dining experience I would recommend is
Supercalifragilistic Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. The characters that are scheduled to be there are Alice, the Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins, and more! Please keep in mind that characters are subject to change without notice.
Another character dining experience I would recommend is
Chip 'n Dale's Harvest Feast at The Garden Grill located in the Land Pavilion at Epcot. This is a very unique dining experience in a rotating restaurant around The Land. Characters that normally appear here are Chip, Dale, Mickey, and Pluto! We absolutely love this restaurant and the family style menu it offers!!
Have a magical trip!!
Scott
