We'll be arriving in Orlando on Thanksgiving night (11/25) and leaving the following Wednesday (12/1). Friday through Tuesday will be fully open for fun! 
This is the first time any of us have been to US, IoA, SW and BG. DD (11) is a Harry Potter freak so we're doing IoA the first day. I know, it will be absolutely crazy being the day after Thanksgiving, but it would be torture to make her wait for a later day. The rest of the vacation we have tentative plans as to which days to visit each park, but are pretty flexible if better suggestions are made. After Friday, we are planning on Saturday at SeaWorld, Sunday at Busch Gardens and Monday & Tuesday at Universal and IoA (again).
My birthday (the BIG 4-0
) is on Sun Nov 28. What would you suggest for a nice dinner? "Nice" does not mean uber-expensive, but fun atmosphere and great food. We had been thinking of eating at Sharks in SW on Saturday because that's the day we tentatively planned on going to SW. Kind of thinking about Busch Gardens on Sunday, because if you go on your birthday, you get the Sarengeti Safari for free. But they close at 6 that day, so we can easily go somewhere else for a late dinner.
Should we skip Sharks on Saturday and go back to SW Sunday evening for dinner there? Go somewhere on Citywalk? Downtown Disney? Some other restaurant in the area that's not theme-park related? I'm a HUGE Nascar fan, but I've heard that the food at Nascar Grille is just so-so. Worth eating there? Any suggestions? Thanks!
