There is also a filter which can be used to exclude parks.If you go to MDE, click on "All Dining" and apply a filter called "buffets/family meals" under "Dining Experience", you'll get a list in every park, hotel and destination in WDW.
Your friend can also apply a filter for only one or more locations to make the search easier in relationship to where she plans to be later in the day.
HTH!
Looks like we mostly agree about which restaurants to go to. But I missed the part where the OP said the boy is 11.If we want characters-Chef Mickey’s. My kids were more than happy with the food-they pretty much ate themselves into a sugar coma. The adults were underwhelmed. Everyone loved the character interaction.
If we’re more about the food-Boma which also has a savannah lookout and a lot of wow factor.
The Wave has the best quality buffet, IMHO but the choices are small and I don’t think the dining room has a lot of 11 year old boy appeal.
Thinking about 11 year old boys, have you looked at Whispering Canyon?
There is a sticky at the top of this forum that gives pricing for buffets/AYCTE:Does any one know the cost of the Garden Grove Character buffet Breakfast please.
I can’t seem to find any pricing for it. Only for individual menu items?
My sister & her husband want to take they’re 2 daughters there this summer when we are out there.
