I'm going for the second time in four months in November.

The kids love the character dining experiences and to date we've done.

Akershus
Garden Grill
Chef Mickey
Crystal Palace
1900 Park Fare
Hollywood and Vine
Tusker House

How is Cinderella's Table? Is it worth the premium? How about Ohana?

As far as non-character dining quick service places we've enjoyed

Bongos Cuban Cafe
Tony's Townsquare
Be Our Guest
Bier Garten
Via Napoli

Is there anywhere I need to stop this time for quick service that I've never been? Pecos Bills?

I'm on the DDP and ADRs are few and far between this go around thanks to free dining. Luckily my TA has one of those trackers so when an ADR opens she snatches it.

Really really good, I went in with ultra low expectations and it rocked. If you don't like something or they perceive you not to like it, the entree will be swapped. The spare ribs were so tender, the desserts were excellent, and filet mignon salad to start, yum.

Plus if you have girls they will love the whole princess thing.

I've never done Ohana

sounds like you've been to most. If you and the Mrs can get away, Victoria and Albert's is exceptional.

Lilo lied. Ohana doesn't mean family. It means bring your fat pants.

The picture with Cinderella helps add to the value but if you've got the memory maker, it doesn't do much else. I liked it for sure and my daughter loved it.

Fun...good, no great food. I think food is better at Kona Cafe or over at the Wildnerness Lodge, but Ohana is fun. You can walk on out to the beach near the bungalows for a cool view of Wishes too after dinner. The bread pudding is awesome!

Fruit and Nutella Waffle Sandwich from Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom




The Cronut from the Refreshment Port in Epcot (with or without ice cream)




The Ice Cream Sandwich on Brioche from Artisian des Glaces in France(Epcot)





PB&J Milkshake from the Tune in Lounge in Hollywood Studios







Also, I think Tangierene Cafe in Morocco is the best Quick Service in any park (Wolfgang Puck Express is my favorite at WDW)

I've done Crystal Palace for breakfast. It was decent. Nothing spectacular, but it was breakfast so I wasn't expecting to be blown away. 1900 Park Fare was a nice light lunch spot. Haven't done any of the others.

Tony's is good, but just your everyday, run-of-the-mill Italian, IMO. BUT, for it being in the MK it's one of the better options. I've only done Be Our Guest for lunch and wasn't impressed. LOVED Biergarten. Great food and unique entertainment. Just don't go and order a Bud Light in there like my wife's cousin's husband did. Via Napoli is FANTASTIC. Quatro Formaggio pizza is awesome. Really any of the pizzas there are spectacular. Desserts are also really good.


Ohana is EASILY one of my favorite places....just a pain in the arse to get a reservation a lot of the time. Not a character meal as far as I can remember (unless they do character breakfast) but it's still very kid/family oriented. All you can eat, so wear your stretchy pants. If you're going for dinner, try to time your reservation around the MK fireworks. They'll dim the lights and turn on the Wishes soundtrack and you can watch the fireworks display from across the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Ohana is fantastic. If you like Texas de Brazil you will like Ohana. They also have stuff for the kids to do. Whispering Canyon is also good.

I have done Cinderella's castle twice. Once for breakfast, once for dinner. Aside from seeing princesses it is not worth it.

We were at disney two weeks ago. Pecos Bills just changed their menu to texmex. No idea how good it is.

Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom is good. Expensive, but good. Cool place.

Dinosaur! at Downtown Disney is also very cool for the kids.

Both those last two will cost you around 100 for a family of 4.

Completely worth it! Really cool experience. We were in the castle during Wishes and it was really cool to see the fireworks through the big windows inside the castle. See if you can arrange a late reservation during the show.

Also! Go to 50s. Great food and such a cool experience.

Is cinderella's table the same as going to the caste and all the princesses coming to your table?

We went to Disney a couple years ago and my mom planned that for my little sister. I threw a fit and got to go. Totally worth it. Had my picture taken with every princess. one of the most magical moments of my life
