We will be traveling with a 4yr. old and 3 yr. old on the upcoming trip in August. What are your favourite places to dine (Breakfast, lunch & dinner, table, quick or snack) with littles?
Favorite places are the ones that are most convenient.
By and large - young kids have 4-hours before they simply need a change of scenery.
Strollers are your friend. But.....while we found going to a meal at the end of being in the Park was effective with our time, we then typically had a child napping on the way back to the hotel after a meal. This could mean a bit more work (because you may have to close the stroller on transportation and then carry a child).
So give timing and convenience a long-view when planning.
What worked best for us when - planning to be at any restaurant (make reservations if necessary) for the first seating (i.e., if the place opens at 5pm for dinner - take that time). If a Qwik Service place opens at 11am for lunch, be there at 11am. The reason is to minimize your waits to be seated and your wait time for food, also, the lower crowd level will help your child stay more calm after stepping inside from the Park.
Regardless, after a day in the Parks, a proper sit-down dinner was nearly impossible for a few years.
To clarify - my generally well-behaved child just needed a bit of time to decompress from having to follow all the rules in what is effectively the 'cognitive overload' of being in the Parks. She benefitted from being in more familiar surroundings in a restaurant, but it still is 'overload' for most every child. So expect the unexpected.
Therefore, the most important thing to bring with you to any meal with toddlers at Disney - a sense of humor.
Honestly, don't go out of your way, because that will be the time when the kids rebel most (it's an unwritten law of nature).
P.S. the quietest place for any meal with a child at Disney is Sci-Fi Dine-In. Even the youngest of children seemingly know that they need to stay quiet in a movie theater. Food is lousy, but our child had some of her best experiences here, because it is the calmest place to eat AND it's kid friendly.
P.P.S. - daylight meals at Sanaa includes animals on the Savannah. Also, AKLodge may have some petting opportunities if you stroll the resort. But going resort-to-resort is not always easy at Disney. Similarly, Coral Reef in Epcot gives toddlers a chance to walk up the glass and wave to the fish in the enormous aquarium.
