Hi everyone! We are heading to DLP for the 1st time in September (going mid week). Can anyone recommend best places to eat with a 3 yr old? TIA  ;D

Annettes in the village is fun. Waiters/Waitresses on roller skates which amused my 3 year old last time we visited.

We love the rainforest but if you child is afraid of loud noises give it a miss. Any of the buffets will give you a large selection for the kids.

Anywhere in DLP is fine with a three year old. 

We tend to prefer sit down meals, because it gives us a break from the chaos of the park (and there is wine).  It can also be a more relaxed way to meet characters than queuing in the park all day.   The service is pretty quick in most of the restaurants, especially those with characters.  We love ADC and Inventions.  We also like Remy and Walt's for non-character meals.  Make your reservations beforehand.

For counter service, Cowboy Cookout Barbecue is great.  Other than Remy, we generally avoid eating at Studios.

Do you have a meal plan? At table service you have the option of just getting her a plate of chips -if you for think she'll eat a full meal no point in wasting 17 euros! However if you eat at buffets she'll have to pay the child price regardless of how much or little she eats. Having said that the buffets have a fantastic range of choice, are often more child friendly than the table service child's menus and you're not trying to keep kids quiet while you're waiting for food.  Silly bobs in the village is our favourite and kids love the ice lollies you can get as part of the dessert.

My boys both loved the Rainforest Cafe. If you think the thunder and animals noises will bother her then ask to be seated in the area near the aquarium as it's a quieter and brighter in there.

Eating an early dinner in your hotel is good as you can use the time to have a little nap and/or relax before heading out to Dreams.
