Sure!! With Hoop De Doo it just seemed like classic disney and I thought my DH and kids would enjoy the show. With Prime Time I thought it seemed to get pretty good reviews and very interactive. For Sci-Fi, I thought the kids would get a kick out of the cars however I was kind if concerned that the old movies would freak out DD. Cape May, convenience since we r at BC and the characters seemed cute. 1900 PF just because my DD loves the step sisters.
I am leaning towards ditching Sci Fi and 1900 at this point. I am open to other suggestions as well.
We are not hard to please or too picky when it comes to food.
Thanks
I have never done Hoop De Doo, but if you are looking for classic Disney I agree it is a good choice.
I asked for additional information about your choices because I think each selection you have made has different strong points. For example, Prime Time is a very good themed meal with the potential for some fun cast member interaction. That being said, you're not guaranteed great server interaction. Whispering Canyon and Prime Time both rely on a great server who is on their game to pull off that extra magic. On my last trip, the Whispering Canyon server was just so-so and the Prime Time server was great. The trip before, it was reversed. If you are looking just to try a meal with a server driven experience and you are trying to keep the actual price tag on the meal down, then consider Whispering Canyon Cafe for Breakfast. Entrees range $10 to $15 at Whispering Canyon Breakfast vs. $15 to $20 at Prime Time. I am not saying the restaurants are just alike or that Prime Time isn't worth the price tag. But if you end up not doing the dining plan and need to keep your table service within a budget, this might be a way to get in more dining experiences while staying in budget.
Another suggestion would be to share meals at Prime Time and Sci Fi. Portions tend to be generous and most families won't clean their plates if everyone orders a meal. So if you want to maximize the number of restaurants you visit and minimize the hit to your wallet. Maybe consider splitting entrees at each restaurant, so you can keep both in your plan. Another suggestion would be to visit one restaurant or both for a snack only. For example, go to Prime Time and split a shake and dessert. You do not have to order a full meal. This lets you keep the experience in your itinerary without blowing the budget.
Sci Fi is a neat restaurant. If you are looking for burgers and not sick of them or hugely opposed to Disney burgers, then the themeing makes up for alot. Personally, I cannot stand the food. But I am a little more picky and you said you tend to be laid back. I like burgers, but the ones I have had there just weren't good enough to justify the cost. That being said. I make reservations for this restaurant every trip. I won't order a meal but it is great for a milk shake and the appetizers tend to be pretty good. But even more than the themeing or the food, the cold dark restaurant is a welcome relief from the Florida heat and a tough day of touring. I think this experience does more to recharge your batteries than Prime Time does. However, Prime Time's food is much better.
The old movies are clips and the effects are so bad and they jump around so much, I think your daughter will be fine. If you are worried, you can go on you tube and show her some of the clips before you go and see how she handles it. If it freaks her out, then definitely skip this restaurant until she is a little older.
I have never been to Cape May, but if you are looking for a convenient character breakfast, I think you have made a good choice.
1900 Park Fare Dinner is expensive. However, since you mentioned your daughter loves the step sisters specifically, then I would consider leaving it in. The reason being that the characters your children react to are the pictures and the memories that you will treasure the most. So if your kids aren't crazy about Mickey Mouse, I would drop Cape May before dropping 1900 Park Fare. Mickey is all over the parks, you can get pics with the Fab 5 if you want them. The step sister's are a little harder to find and so I think you will treasure that experience just a little bit more.
So my recommendation for the chopping block would be Cape May. And then share or just do snacks at Prime Time and Sci Fi.
Hope this helps and that I didn't just confuse you more.
