Since I never used the Dining plan and I have never actually stayed on site with young children, I am at a loss to answer. Perhaps some of you more oriented in this topic could help me give them suggestions of good, informal, places for them to plan on. I already strongly suggested the Hoop de Doo Review, but that takes double coupons. They want to do a character breakfast and I suggested the castle if they could get in, but there might be others equally good for a family of newbie's. Share your knowledge please, my reputation is at stake here. Thanks.

It was funny, we finally got reservations for breakfast in the castle and my kids wouldn't eat most of the entree. We had to eat again when we left We also like Tony's in MK Sci-fi and Prime time in DHS are great fun although we thought the food at Sci-fi was just OK. Your recommendation for Hoop-de-doo is a must. I would tell them to use the double credits here and then go to T-rex in DTD if they run out of coupons. The boys will love T-rex.
