We love HDDR! We were just there on the 17th and it was wonderful as usual. Our kids just turned 15 and this was their request for their birthday dinner. No mac & cheese, just the regular menu - and it was all great. My dh has a dairy allergy and the chef came out before hand to say that he'd bring separate corn, cornbread, a baked potato, butter substitute, and a special dessert for him. It was handled really well and he said it was all good. We pay oop, and spend the money for cat1 seating. We've sat in category 2 and 3 before and both are fine, we just like being up front. The performers do a great job of moving through the theater and involving everyone.
