Sorry, for not providing more detail. We are going with another couple and each have 2/3 year old's. This is my first time at Disney and I have 6 meals planned on site. We have three character meals (Chef Mickie, Minnie's Hollywood Studios, Tusker) planned while in the park, as well as three none character meals but I was looking for something outside of a Disney Property. The day we are doing animal kingdom we will be doing an early character meal while in the park but planned to be out of the park at 5:30,as the park closes early in January. There is also another night we may want to find something else. With young children I hope they are able to make it through long days but I am not sure and would like to have some options outside. Thanks

Let me ask it like this...when you say outside of a Disney property do you mean just not in a park or nowhere that is operated by Disney or their affiliates?

For example, there is a ton of Disney resort dining that is family friendly (Ohana! or Hoop de Doo Review for example). Then, there is Disney Springs which is technically Disney property but the establishments are not run or managed necessarily by Disney. Then you have the Swan and Dolphin which are also not owned by Disney but are basically between two Disney theme parks and are leased to Disney.

If you're just looking for something family friendly not in a park I'd suggest Ohana, Hoop De Do Review, Raglan Road, Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, Whispering Canyon, Splittsville to name a few.

FYI - Chef Mickeys is similar to Ohana in that it is located in a Disney Resort and not actually in the park.
