Advice

We are going to Discovery cove for my DD's 12th birthday and I was wondering what we could do in the evening nice restaurant or dinner show. We are staying at all star music resort but have a rental car, so we can get about easily. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Wendy

I know there are plenty of things down there that you could do- both Disney and offsite. However,

DON'T DO the Pirate's Dinner Adventure in Orlando!

We did it a couple of years ago- because My folks live down there and my mom got 50% off passes for donating blood, and it still wasn't worth it!

Hope you find something great!!

Hi Wendy,

You're not too far from the Renaissance Resort once you leave Discovery Cove, and thier Atlantis restaurant is exceptionally nice. It has a more 'adult' feel to it, but the food is supurb. You can't go wrong there.

That said, Planet Hollywood or Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney are terrific 12 year old boy options, or perhaps Medieval Times if you are looking for a dinner show.

Pirates is good fun if you're 12 (the food isn't fabulous, but you get to eat in a big room with a pirate ship, which isn't something you can do every day).

Anything on Disney property (maybe Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge) is going to be good, with the added benefit of the possiblity (not guaranteed, mind you!) of some extra 'magic' coming your way. Ohana is another great choice for a near-teen.

If you have free entry to SeaWorld with your Discovery Cove day, Sharks Underwater Grill is the perfect choice. Excellent food, a jaw-dropping view of the sharks (one entire wall is plexiglass, for a view into the shark tank), and terrific desserts to rival any birthday cake. That would be my first choice, but make reservations ahead!

Whatever you choose, Enjoy! And happy birthday to your dear son.
