CSR--our favorite resort! Enjoy your stay there. We love Crystal Palace--it is oru favorite breakfast of the trip (although we are trying Boma this year). We have had breakfast at Maya Grill, but never dinner. We have not done CRT (we have boys--no desire); we enujoyed Coral Reef. Sorry, but we did not like H&V--and, actually, refuse to go back. As for the problem of the dinner at 4:30 and the kids getting hungry during the show, there is popcorn and ice cream, nachos, etc., sold inside the arena that you could use a snack credit for (at least on the popcorn and ice cream) if you are on the plan.

We LOVE Pepper Market, Sunshine Seasons and Flame Tree Barbecue. Not big fans of Pizzza Planet--Disney Pizza is AWFUL.

I'm not sure I would bother with the Fantasmic Dinner pkg. :confused3 I toyed with it, but none of the restaurant menus involved thrilled me.

I would do something like 50's Prime Time which is homey food w/fun!!! My DD6.5 loved eating there 2 years ago and STILL talks about it!!!:rotfl: I'm sure some others here could give you a good idea of what the timeline you would need to follow would be.

Fantasmic is a show unrelated to the restaurants themselves. First you eat, then you get to go in early, sit & wait (I think up to 1 hour before show :eek: ). It is not worth "prime" seats to me...and far to much sitting & waiting (restaurant & then show) for our DD:yay: !!!:rolleyes1

You've done a great job. We have been or will be trying many of the same places this summer. I think you've got this meal thing "licked". :rotfl:

We did the FP at H&V. Liked the food, service and convenience of easy entry. Mom made a popcorn and bottled water run for us inside the stadium, the show. I think with your little ones its a smart plan. There were some really fun street performers out and about while we where there. Who knew picking up trash could be so much fun.

Expect to hold your little ones as the show can be a bit "scary". The loud sounds, lights/dark and villian characters al "moved" our 5yo a bit last summer. Know that you kids might be crawling up your lap during parts. I would absolutely plan to hold the 2yo and sit the 6yo between the two of you for a quick hug or scoop.

We love Crystal Palace.

I have never tried Maya Grill, but the menu looks great and it is always nice to eat at your disney "home"

Your daughter will love CRT plus the setting is great.

We did not like Coral Reef , our food was ok, our service was horrible, but I have heard many people say they love it so I guess it is a hit or miss.

Boma is great one of our favorites.

HS does not really have to many oprions for TS. We did Hollywood and Vine and liked it. It wasnt 5 star but it was a standard buffet. We did the fantasmic pkg but it was not necessary if you get there early you can still get good seats. We are doing the pkg again this time though.
If you go to dinner at 4:30 you will probably be there until 5:30 you will want to be in your seats 45 minutes prior to show. H&V is alot of food. They do have snacks sold in the area or you could bring some like pb crackers if you didnt waznt to use your snack credit there.
