    We are looking for good character meals. Which do you recommend more for a large group (13) with 5 kids (9yrs-3mo), 1900 Park fare or Crystal Palace? Breakfast or dinner?

    Hi, there!

     Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Emily. I love that you've stopped by so often, and I'm so excited to hear you're planning another Walt Disney World Resort vacation!

     Character Dining Experiences are must-dos for my family when we visit to the "Most Magical Place on Earth." We traveled with our extended family of 14 a few years ago, and we enjoyed several Character Dining Experiences together! We had six kids under the age of 7 in our group, so it was the perfect way to fill those little tummies with delicious food AND get them quality time with some of their favorite Disney characters. I would recommend your group of 13 visit The Crystal Palace over 1900 Park Fare. With small children in our large group, we found that convenience was a top priority during our vacation. If your group is spending the day in Magic Kingdom Park, The Crystal Palace is very conveniently located! Our little Mousketeers loved the kids-only section of the buffet at The Crystal Palace, and they very much enjoyed the company of Winnie the Pooh and his friends from the Hundred-Acre Wood. While I appreciate any dining location that serves Mickey Waffles, I recommend you make a reservation for dinner at this restaurant. The selection of garden-fresh salads is delectable, and the roasting station always serves a savory and delicious bite.

     My best tip for large groups traveling together to the Walt Disney World Resort? Purchase Memory Maker prior to your visit!

     I hope this was helpful. Please visit us again soon with any new questions you may have!
