Hello all,
This is the very first post of a self-admitted lurker, so I apologize in advance for my lengthy question. I am currently in full-on planning mode for our next trip (wheeeee!) at the end of March 2012 since it is almost time to make the ADRs. The hubby and I have generated a huge list of places we would like to eat, and have done pretty good and narrowing things down. We will be doing a LOT of character dining to please our two boys, who will be 3 and 1.5 at that time (and let's face it, we love character dining too!). We want to try some new places and I was really looking forward to trying Boma (had breakfast there on last trip) but then I realized that they don't do lunch. We had already decided on our dinners, which include Hollywood and Vine for the Fantasmic package. But the more places I look, the more I am worried that the food there will disappoint us. We generally enjoy buffets (we thought Crystal Palace was great last visit) and the foods listed for the menu sound good, but most of the reviews have not been positive. We will be doing the Playhouse Disney breakfast there, but it seems the dinner is not very good. Now I am really beginning to wonder if we should eat there at all or if we should even see Fantasmic. I have been reading that little ones like ours may be scared by the show. We have never seen it, but hope to be returning to Disney again in the Fall of 2013. So now that I have written a book, here are my main questions:
1. Is Hollywood and Vine really that bad at dinner? Will we likely be disappointed? (We will be on the DDP and are considering upgrading to Deluxe)
2. Should we wait on going to Fantasmic with the little ones? I would be fine with seeing it during our next trip as long as it doesn't look like this is something we might miss out on forever if we don't see it this time.
3. As far as having dinner at Boma goes, should we find room for it in the dinner schedule? We will be eating at Tusker House for lunch one day and some have called it "Boma lite". Will they be that different?
Thanks!
