Help me narrow down my tentative ADR's

[My3kiddos]

We really only need 5 or 6 of these so we need to decide on which one for DHS and get rid of 1 or 2 of the others preferably 2. This is my kids first time to MK, EP, and DHS so I want to do it right. Please tell me the pros and cons of the places I've picked so I can narrow it down. Also how would kids fair at Biergarten? Is there anywhere else at Epcot that's more kid friendly besides counterservice? We want to do at least 1 character buffet maybe 2 so which are the best? None princess preferably because my 14yo and 3yo son would probably make us miserable during it. Thanks for your help!

One last thing we are staying off-site so tell me how to get from some of the parks to the resorts without having to drive and pay to park again when we get back.

the kids will have a blast at biergarten..it was one of our fav places of our trip last month..the band was awesome and dd did nothing but dance the entire time. We did hollywood and vine for breakfast the characters were great but the food we3 had at dinner at 50s prime time was awesome!

Biergarten works very well with kids. There is a variety of food and the band is entertaining if you're there when they are playing.

I would suggest 50s Prime Time Cafe at DHS. I think the food and experience are better tha H&V.

The list is pretty strong. Four of them are character buffets. There is a slight overlap in characters between Cape May and Tusker House. The only suggestion I have is to drop one of those two.

I'd drop 1900 Park Faire since it is princessy and you said no princesses.

I'm glad to hear that Biergarten is fun for the kids and there's stuff they will eat!
