Hi, Joan! There are really great dining choices for guests of all ages! Here are some you might want to give a try. The ones I am listing are a lot of fun, but do not have any characters. Some of these are very popular, so make sure to make your Advance Dining Reservations at (407)WDW-DINE when you hit your 90 day booking window.

To get an idea of what each of these restaurants have to offer, go to
