Or other restaurants I can't miss and need a reservation at?? We are there for 10 nights with our 4 year old daughter and staying at the All Star Movie resort then moving to the Polynesian. Thanks for your help everyone!

Also, it's a pre-plated meal. I've had character meals at the GF. The food was "good" and the character interaction very good. I used to always eat at Akershus in Norway, Epcot before it became a character meal. I loved the food there and it was never a problem to get a seating since many people are afraid to try something they've never had before. That may be a good choice if yu want Princesses, and it's a buffet, so you can eat what you like. If you're staying at the Poly, you might consider 'Ohana (for dinner). It's not a character meal, but there is entertainment; it's very popular with families.

Very nice family atmosphere. We also love the Hoop De Doo. Was'nt very crazy about Chef Mickey's although I've had other family members say they had a wonderful experience. Was too rushed for me. And the food was just so so.

I wish my hubby and I didn't have to eat there because I wasn't impressed with the menu. That is why I'm including the Grand Floridian 1900 Park dinner. I might try the princess buffet at Epcot. Thanks for the info.
