The breakfast at the grand Floridian is at 1900 park fair. It's a buffet with Alice in wonderland and Mary poppins

If you are staying at the Floridian, I hear there is a good character breakfast and dinner there. I am going to the breakfast in November. We really enjoyed Ohana on our last trip. We went for dinner.


You have to be a big time ot baller to be able to afford that character breakfast

Not really. Disney, often times, will include their "meal deal" for free when you purchase x number of days at the parks.

OP, my real advice is you need to do much more planning than this. March is a busy time in Disney so you're going to want to be prepared. It's a big month for spring break for the Midwest and Northeast. There's band trips, senior trips, 8th grade trips, cheer completions, etc. It's going to be too crowded to just wing it. Especially with a 4 year old. That's kind of the Disney wheelhouse age. That's essentially the age the place was built for.

I would not go to Medeval Times. You're at Disney World. No need to leave the resort to pilfer with the rif-raf.
Look at The Hooppty Doo Show and Review for a dinner show instead. (Unless knights in shining armor are your thing)

With a 4 year old, I would consider Typhoon Lagoon for at least 1/2 day just to relax. (They have plenty of toddler friendly attractions)

Animal Kingdom would be high on my list too. Be careful at The Tree of Life 3-d movie. It freaks kids out.

You could also spend a 1/2 day at downtown Disney just checking it out. You'll be tempted to eat at Planet Hollywood. -- don't. It's loud and scary to kids too. Go to The Rain Forest instead.

They supposedly changed fast pass rules. You only get two per day.

I'm going in July and already made my reservations for sit down meals.

MK: tonys, liberty tree Tavern, be our guest

Le celliar at epcot, 50s prime time at Hollywood and trex Cafe and raglan road in downtown Disney.

Will probably get breakfast at chef mickeys

It's 3 and you can change them at any time while you're there through the Mydisney app. It's not that bad.

Don't waste your time on the medieval times. Look into the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - if she is old enough she will love it (tip: bring your own princess outfit from home they are VERY over priced in the park and book the one inside magic kingdom as early as possiable). The princess breakfast in Cinderella's Castle is so worth it- it is even better if it is the same day as the Bibbidi Boutique. With a 4 year old you will be spending more time in magic kingdom than you think, especially with the new section dedicated to the princesses. If princesses are not her thing, there are lots of set meet and greets with Micky and Winnie the Pooh in the fantasy land section of mk. There are lots of other options in the other parks also. Animal Kingdom has an entire section towards the back that s geared at little ones. There is a boneyard where they can dig out Dino bones and other hands on activities. There are always characters all over this park - great photo ops and chance for your little one to get some wonderful character interaction. Hollywood Studios (MGM) has some for the little ones ( the muppet section is great and has a fun 3d movie attraction) and the Fantasmic show is awesome. But there is not a full days worth for the 4 year old. That would probably be a good day for you and your wife to catch the other show in downtown disney that you are wanting to see. (Check into the child care offered on resort if you are staying on property). Epcot has some frat interactive areas for young children that are not part of the world showcase. There are pavilions dedicated to colors, basic science and imagination that she would probably love. These are areas where it is encouraged that they get hands on. The world showcase is great for adults and older children but there is not much to keep younger children's attention. There are small things she would enjoy but not enough to keep her occupied. Down town disney also has a lot to offer. There is the Lego place that let's them build for fun, a place where you can build your own custom Mr. Potato Head with great Disney themed add ons and lots to see and eat. Best if done during the day with little ones - it can get very busy at night since there is no admission price for this area. Lots of locals and tourists not going to the parks. Hope this helps and enjoy Disney!!!

Paper fast pass is being phased out in favor of fastpass+. You get 3 per day. Reserve fastpass times through my disney experience website and apps. Op needs to do a little research. Ican only assume medieval times and cirque du soleil is a joke.
