Any suggestions. We were thinking Planet Hollywood. Do they partake in the Dining Plan? Also we have eaten there a few times and maybe would like to try something new.

How about Rainforest Cafe or the new T-Rex? They are both extremely kid friendly plus you can look them up online!

The T Rex looks very cool! Does anyone know if they take ADRs?

T-Rex won't take reservations until next year. Right now it's walk ins only!!

I'd vote for T-Rex or Rainforest Cafe!!

DD is 2 and she LOVES the rainforest cafe. We're going to do TRex when we visit in Feb, because I think she'll love that, too. So I'd recommend either of those over Planet Hollywood (IMO, kids that young wouldn't "get" the theming there, most likely, because they wouldn't have seen the movies represented there, as a rule).

I love PH (the pot stickers are phenomenal) but for a 2 and 4 year old, it would be Rainforest Cafe or T Rex for me.

Enjoy either way!

We really loved Earl of Sandwich w/ our then 2 and 6yos. Not a TS but great food and they take the CS credits for the dining plan!

I'd definitely try T-Rex. We haven't eaten there, but the theming is amazing.

I would vote for T-Rex. No, they don't take the dining plan but IMO, it is well worth it. We ate there in October & all my kids loved it. My 2 y.o. loved the atmosphere, he & my 8 y.o. also liked the digging area. It was a really fun restaurant. We got there around 11:15. They open at 11 & it wasn't crowded at all.
If you go, the chocolate extention is to die for!
