Disney in July 2011 with 2 teens any dining suggestions?

[MelMel11]

We are booked and have the dining planning we are taking two teenagers. Any suggestions on dining? We have been the past two years and done the Hoop Dee Do Revue we were thinking about trying Mickeys Backyard Bar-BQ. Any help at all is appreciated..

Mickey's Back Yard BBQ was fun - but we went when my DD11 was around 5. It has the characters and country dancing with them which I dont know if teens would enjoy - it certaintly seems geared toward younger kids. I'd try the 50s prime time cafe for a fun interactive experience where the waiters and waitresses "scold" you for not eating veggies and elbows on tables...

I would say No to Mickey's backyard BBQ. We tried when my oldest DD was in 5th grade. We actually left as it was geared towards younger kids. The characters basically ignored any older children. My kids reaction in one word is stupid and lame! (two dd's one word each). My teen DD's suggest Chef Mickey's, Le Cellier or Crystal Palace.

Disneys Hollywood Studios

Prime Time Cafe
Si-Fi Cafe

Downtown Disney

Planet Hollywood

Epcot

These are all Lunch or Dinner favorites.

Taking two 15 year old girls in June. DD has been, but her friend hasn't. The girls want to do as many character meals as they can, so we're doing CRT, Akershus, 1900 Park Fare, Crystal Palace, Chef Mickey's, Tusker House and Cape May. They also really want to do 50s PT (dd has been there twice) and both Le Cellier and Yachtsman Steakhouse. DD's favorite restaurant is, I think, Biergarten, and she's also dying to do Coral Reef.

Our teen ds liked food more than entertainment.

They did like Whispering Canyon, ESPN, Coral Reef, and crystal palace lunch or dinner.

They tolerated garden grill since it was extra food if you wanted it plus character photo op.

They disliked Biergarten as they had to sit with strangers.
They also did not like 50's Prime Time as we had a dud server who was not into the antics.

How about Sci-Fi?? or Ohana?? (dinner)Take in the fire dancer, then go to dinner etc.
