My family and I are dining at H and V for the Fantasmic dinner package. I have never been to that restaurant for the buffet. Could I have some feedback? :wizard:
 
My family ate at H&V last June for the FDP and we were very pleasantly surprised. We chose H&V because it was the least expensive of the FDP choices, and because I figured with a buffet each of us would be able to find something to eat. A little background on our family: I am a vegetarian but the rest of my family eats meat. I have two teenage sons, one of which is not extremely picky but won't eat anything that he deems is too "weird" and one of which is pretty picky and will only eat foods that are fairly simple (not a lot of combined ingredients, not a lot of heavy seasoning, etc). DH will try most things but he won't touch anything with onions and he doesn't like a lot of heavy seasoning or spicy foods. Well, at H&V we all found plenty of delicious food to eat. In fact, I got full before I had tried everything that I had wanted to try!

There is a very large selection of food on this buffet, and we liked the majority of what we tried. Everything was fresh and the buffet was kept clean and well-stocked. I've heard several complaints about service at H&V, but our server, Thomas, was wonderful, one of the best servers we've had at WDW.
 
We have been there 2 times & are returning during our next trip. The buffet is very good (not fancy) but large variety & tasty. Here is the menu.

It was the only package I was able to book since we decided late in the planning stage to go to Fantasmic. We also generally avoid buffets.

BUT...

We were pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food was quite good, way above our expectations. There was something for everyone and my DSs loved the soft serve machine in the dessert section.

We have also done Brown Derby for the package but our server was terrible, the food okay but not a good dining experience. I LOVED BD solo lunch but not that night we were there at dinner!

Check out the menu on www.allearsnet.com to get an idea about what the choices are. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I am also planning to book this package, just as soon as I'm 90 days out -- in a few days!!! Thanks for the great review. I was a little concerned about which restaurant to choose for my DS7. I figured the BD would be too adult, and we generally don't like Italian non-local food (we live in an Italian neighborhood, and we are spoiled).

This sounds like the perfect restaurant for us, especially since we shouldn't have to wait to get our food at a buffet. Patience is not your strongest virture at 7 :)
