Hello JoeAnna!
WOO HOO!! Here is a list of my top four "MUST DO" Disney Dining Restaurants for families with children:
* Whispering Canyon Cafe (Disney's Wilderness Lodge) - Your kids will LOVE this restaurant. The Cast Members will keep your family entertained with fun horse stick races and kid-appropriate comedy at your table. I know your kids will have a rip-roarin' good time!
* Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review (Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort) - This is one of my family's all-time FAVORITE dining experiences EVER! The food is delicious, and the entertainment is so incredibly funny AND entertaining! NOTE: On the Disney Dining Plan, this dining experience will deduct TWO Table Service credits from your Disney Dining Plan. But take my word for it...it's TOTALLY worth it!
* The Crystal Palace (Magic Kingdom) - This is an incredible character dining experience with Winnie and Pooh and friends! The buffet is perfect for kids, AND there is so much to eat for us "big kids" as well!
* Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (EPCOT) - If you have girls, this is the perfect restaurant for your family. Your family will have the opportunity to meet some fantastic Disney Princesses and eat some awesome food!
I hope this helps in your planning! If you have other questions, please let me know!
Have a MAGICAL day!
