Fun meal ideas (on the cheaper side of TS)

[famousmockingbird]

Hi all! I'm working on planning a trip next June for my family (myself, husband, 11 year old son) and my inlaws (SIL, BIL, 13 year old niece, 9 year old nephew). We are staying off-site using their timeshare points, so we would like to do something to say "thanks" to them for pretty much giving us a place to stay. We have decided to do three meals onsite and pay for them (we might eat on-site other times, but these will be our treat), so I'm brain-storming and trying to get some ideas.

Here's the criteria: Not that we want to be cheap about this, but with 7 people, it might be nice to do something a little less expensive (no signatures). We want it to be fun! Something that they whole crew will enjoy. Dietary restrictions? No seafood. (I wanted to do Cape May Cafe, but that kind of rules that out). Kids will be 9, 11, and 13, so characters aren't a necessity and the niece is about as opposite of a princess as you can get.


We have two main ideas, but are willing to trade one out if something else presents itself. Also, we need a third idea and I need some help!

1) Rose & Crown - It's our family's favorite place. My husband and SIL spent some summers in England, so we thought this would be fun for them. Plus, good variety of food for everyone involved, and we have found it to be fairly reasonable in price.
2) 50s Prime Time - We have never been here, but the menu looks great (Esp. the prices) and I thought the whole "family" thing would be a hoot as we live across the country from each other and rarely get to do the whole "family dinner" thing.
3) Help?

Thanks in advance.

I think Rose and Crown along with 50's Primtime are perfect choices.

Also if you are considering a TS lunch, LTT is perfect as well. Good location, good food/menu.

Good luck and have fun on your trip!

50s Prime Time is such a hoot!

We went on our last trip to the Mouse and had such a great time there - if your a family that loves to laugh, you won't regret it!

We're a fun-loving crew. I think we'll like it. We might be the first family every asked to tone down our behavior at 50's Prime Time.

I think Prime Time is a great choice. We've gone there twice. Once with our small family, and once with a large group. Both times were a lot of fun. The only possible problem might be if you got a "dud" of a server and they didn't play with you as much. I like the food there though, so it wouldn't be a bust either way.

both your choices should be fun. a 3rd option could be whispering canyon.

Whispering Canyon is a great idea! I don't know why I didn't think about that. We have eaten there before and enjoyed it, but we always forget about it!
