Just got back from the Rainforest at AK. I booked a PS for like 11:45. We were seated by noon, but by 1 we still didnt have our meals. This was even after our server accidently dumped a coke on ds 14. Its a great place and I know the wait is long, but its a good place to relax and take an ac break. We also did not order any appetizers. You might want to go to deb wills allears site, review the menus and already make your choice. I dont know if lists entirely every choice, but when you sit down, they generally take your drink orders only. I would say I/we know what we want and want to order our meal now etc. That might shave a little time off. We had dessert, so that made our experience later, but we were not in a rush. For counter service with kids I would definetely do pizzafari with the kids meal vouchers they offer. The walls are decorated really cute. Flame Tree has great food but you have to eat outside and if its a hot day that might not go over too well. My kids least favorite is tusker house, but dh and I like it. They say the mac and cheese tastes weird etc. Good luck deciding.
