Hi Danielle,
It sounds like you have a fantastic multi-generational trip to Walt Disney World coming up next yEAR! You are right to be planning now so you can make your
Disney dining reservations as early as 180 days in advance, as many character dining experiences are very popular and will book up early.
For a classic Disney dining experience with the "Big Cheese" himself,
Chef Mickey's always gets my vote. There is nothing like breaking bread with Mickey Mouse and some of his best pals! Adding to this the spectacular location in the heart of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, with monorails gliding by overhead throughout your meal, and you can see why this place is so popular.
The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom is one of the most beautiful restaurants, with gorgeous architectural details throughout. It's also where you will find Winnie the Pooh and a few of his friends from the Hundred-Acre Wood. A meal here is always on my "Must-Do" list.
Finally over at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Safari Donald hosts a mouthwatering buffet meal over at
Tusker House Restaurant featuring delicious food, wonderful character interactions and a great atmosphere.

Wishing you a wonderful upcoming vacation, Danielle!
