    My DH favourite is Trails End Buffet at Fort Wilderness. It's a fun boat ride from the MK and the food is great- fried chicken, ribs, pizza.

    I know that it gets slammed a lot on here, but we love the Coral Reef in Epcot. The atmosphere is so pretty with the fish tank and we love the rainbow trout entree and the chocolate wave or Baileys and Jack Daniels mousse for dessert. I know that you said no Epcot restaurants, but your toddler would love the fish tank.

    Kona Cafe is great too. Yummy steak and the Kona Cone for dessert (ice cream cone with cotton candy around the base).

    Other faves:

    50s Prime Time
    Artist Point at WL (amazing, 2 credits on DDP)
    Cali Grill
    Boma is our favourite buffet in WDW

    Have a great time and let us know what you decide!

    We've taken our 2.5 YO son several times the past year, and he's done really well at the restaurants. And he is definitely more on the active side, so if he can sit through a meal, I think you'll be good.

    Ohana for breakfast was awesome. We had a really good server, and we thought the food was great, esp for the price.

    Sanaa is really cool, we've only been at dinner, but I imagine at lunch its esp cool to see the animals. And the food is amazing.

    We love Boma as well.

    For our upcoming trip in April we have Chef Mickeys, Tusker House Character lunch at AK, Garden Grill, and we'll probably go to Sanaa or Boma.

    I've never gone with a toddler, so I can't speak to that part.

    Another vote for Boma, here..Hands down one of my favorites. We also did breakfast at Tusker House which we enjoyed. I'm a sucker for characters, so we enjoyed Chef Mickey's for that aspect (and the mashed potatoes) but the food is in general mediocre. 50s Prime Time can be fun.

    We have taken DS to Artists' Point, CA Grill, Kouzzina, Kona Cafe, and Sanaa. All of these were hits (except for Kona, which he slept through. But the waitress gave us a loaf of bread to give him for when he woke up!)

    My husband and I prefer signature-style dining at WDW, and tend to pick places more for food than theme, but these restaurants tend to have a nice balance of both worlds.

    When our son around 3 we took him to Crystal Palace, Chef Mickey's. We like Trail's End, The Plaza, Artist Point and Narcoossee's. For fun, SciFi.

    I have also never been with a 2 yr old however I would think that Chef Mickey and 'Ohana would be a good choice as there is a lot of fun activities including singing, dancing, and character interaction.
    Enjoy!
