Hoop-Dee-Do or Ohana's and ?

[mommato2boys]

I need help deciding the last few details of my ADR wishlist. We will be bringing our 2 DS (2 & 3y/o) to Disney in December, and I am starting to question my decisions for ADR's. We did not get park hoppers, so that is a little limiting in my choices. I have 7 TS credits to use.

So far I know I want:

Epcot - Garden Grill dinner and then watch Illuminations
MK - Chef Mickey dinner and then watch Wishes
MK - CP breakfast (DTD at night)
AK - Tusker House breakfast (DTD at night)
AK - Boma dinner

and here is where my questions lie...would I be better to do Hoop-De-Doo or do you think the boys would enjoy breakfast at Ohana's and then we would have another TS credit to use, but where???

We will be going to Epcot one of those days and DHS one day, but on the day we go to DHS, I would like to see Fantasmic.

So...would you reccomend HDDR or Ohana's and somewhere else. If Ohana's, where else would you go? (with 2 and 3 year old boys)

With kids the ages of yours I'd opt for the 'Ohana breakfast. Much of the HDDR show will go over their heads so I'd only go there if it's something you and your DH really want to do. At 'Ohana they'll get to see Lilo & Stitch and I've only heard good things about the breakfast.

As for another meal for your TS credit, how about the Playhouse Disney breakfast at Hollywood & Vine at DHS? Do your kids know those characters? If so they'd probably love it. If that doesn't appeal to you I'd go to one of the World Showcase restaurants. It's never too early to introduce kids to a variety of foods and WS is a great place to do that. My suggestions would be Tepan Edo (cook-at-your-table Japanese) or Marrakesh. The Biergarten is also lots of fun, with German oom-pah band entertainment. The food is great at all of them and there's always something basic on the menu/at the buffet if you have picky eaters.

Have a great trip!

Go for Ohanna's. Hoop Dee Do is far from other resorts and I think a 2-3 year old would be so bored. Plus with 2TS I don't think you would get your monies worth.

Go to Ohanna and another ADR. Maybe 50's prime time cafe or Park Fare.
Or stay in your room and get room service and relax.

I would go to Ohana's. We did Hoop Dee Doo last year and the food was horrible.

I think Hoop Dee Doo would be fun, if you've been to WDW many times and done a lot of other things. I still haven't taken my kids, as it would take up time for things they may want to do. With really young kids, I'd wait. A while.

If you are staying at AKL, I would understand doing Boma twice, but really with young kids, I'd do it only for dinner. But we're not huge breakfast eaters. I'd rather feed my kids a quick bite in the room while we're getting ready to go out, then a nice meal for lunch or dinner. Breakfast at Boma is like any breakfast buffet (although Disney does a nice job with that). It is hard with young kids to sit down for a good meal, though, so maybe I'd do a quick bite for that meal.

At DHS, we have had nothing but WONDERFUL food and service at both the Sci Fi Dine In Theater, and the Prime Time. Maybe you'd like one of them?

We love the food at Epcot - Japan is good, also Morocco is great - they get the kids up to dance with a nice lady that does belly dancing. They have a kids menu too. That was fun! My kids love Epcot since they were 4 and 2.

Ohana's and then 50's Prime Time at DHS.

Thanks everyone!

We have decided to pass on Hoop Dee Do this time around and instead we'll do O'Hana and either Biergarten or 50's prime time. Thanks for your input!

This is tough. We liked both HDDR and Ohana very much, but, as others have mentioned, it would likely go over the heads of 2&4 year olds - and its 2 TS credits. Similarly, Boma was very good but may not be the best choice for young children. Arey your boys really into meeting the characters? If so add I'd add Ohana for breakfast. Another good choice might be Sci-Fi. The overall theme will go over there heads but you get to sit in a car and watch movies while you eat!!!
