Hi Michelle! Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I see you have already secured some of my favorite Disney Dining locations, my mouth is watering thinking about the delicious food you are going to get to enjoy on your vacation. I have a few more suggestions to help make your planning a little easier.
I really enjoy
The Garden Grill, I eat at this location on almost every family vacation. This meal is packed with some of my favorite "comfort foods" including, beef, turkey, and mashed potatoes. Some of the vegetables you will receive with your family-style feast are even grown right below the restaurant in the Living with the Land greenhouses. I find this dinner is filled with some of the best character interaction as well. Chip and Dale sure are cute and full of mischief, just watch out they may try to sneak some of your tasty food. I say give The Garden Grill a try again, I really think you are going to enjoy it.
Another suggestion I have for you is
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant. Stars twinkle overhead as you enjoy a meal in your very own automo-booth or table. Fun sci-fi movie clips play on a big screen making you feel as if you are really in a drive-in theater. This is one of my 8 year-olds favorite spots, and on occasion it has been so cool and relaxing that my youngest boys fall asleep while enjoying the show. The milkshakes are out-of-this-world, and the Reuben sandwich is really yummy!
Michelle, if you need any other suggestions or help planning your magical getaway to Walt Disney World, please let me know.
Happy Disney Dining,
~Jen
