Welcome back to Disney Parks Moms Panel, Beth Ann!
Oh, my goodness! Celebrating a 5th birthday in Walt Disney World is surely going to be magical. How fun!
When my children were little, their favorite WDW restaurants were buffets; rumbly tummies don't have to wait, as food is ready as soon as you are seated! Their very favorite place to celebrate a birthday--anyone's birthday--was
Chef Mickey's, located at Disney's Contemporary Resort. An easy walk or ride on the monorail gets you there from Magic Kingdom Park.
Another favorite buffet is
The Crystal Palace, in
Magic Kingdom Park. There, guests enjoy delicious meals and a visit from Winnie the Pooh & pals. There is also a fun kid parade which may make your birthday boy feel even more special.
Disney Junior characters are at both breakfast and lunch buffets at
Hollywood & Vine in
Disney's Hollywood Studios, while Minnie & friends host dinner.
At
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park,
Tusker House Restaurant offers yet another great buffet, with Safari Donald & friends making the rounds all day.
The Garden Grill, in
Epcot, provides guests with family-style dining as well as a visit from Chip 'n' Dale & pals.
So many options to celebrate your little prince's big day!
