Ideas for restaurants with tweens?

[BusySpeechMom]

Any suggestions for restaurants my tweens (both 12 years old) will enjoy? We are 130 days out and I would like to make reservations. Thank you!

What kind of food do they enjoy?

I took a tween niece yrs ago and she enjoyed Teppan Edo and Boma. She also loved Tokyo Dining (she was just getting started on sushi with the tame California Rolls and enjoyed sampling those along with tempura shrimp).

They are not picky at all! (knock on wood). They love pretty much anything....

My 12 yr old loves Hoop De Doo and Teppan Edo. Also BOG. She still gets a kick out of Prime Time but they didn't do any antics last trip there and she is annoyed with them so skipping next trip. She loves sitting front row center of Fantasmic so we have to do that dining package every trip. Seriously - every single trip. Always front row. A lot of stress getting that front seat but it is a great -if wet- spot lol. Rainforest and T. rex are also favorites of hers.

I have 2 12 year olds and a 13 yr old.
We are eating at Ohana for dinner, Via Napoli (pizza of course!), Sci Fi for lunch, 1900 Park Faire for dinner, Beaches & Cream for dinner - hope that helps!

Another vote for Boma. I also recommend HOB in DS!

My boys (8, 12 & 14) love Sci Fi, Whispering Canyon, Via Napoli & Boma.

When we get a fun server (have most trips), my teens love 50s Prime Time. If she's working, request Donna--she was great!

Our last waitress was very friendly and sat down at my table just to chat but she played none of the games. My dtr was really disappointed. I really enjoyed chatting with her - it felt like mom sat down at our table - but my daughter wanted to get in trouble for elbows on table and using cell phone etc. she was really disappointed. That is why we are skipping this year.

Throw a box of cheeseburgers and fries in a room, yell "Foods on!" and run the other way. but really the scifi movie restaurant would be a good fit.

Beaches and Cream (Beach Club), 50s Prime Time, Sci-Fi (both HS), Epcot I would eat around the world and try something from each place to try new things. BOG (MK)

The one we had last August was nice, but not really fun, either, so my two were a bit disappointed. The bonus is that now that they're teens, they get picked on instead of us when we do get good servers.

I had a Donna last summer, maybe the same one? She was great! She gave us the kind of experience you hope for there, complete with homework assignments. She even corrected them . My all time favorite WDW meal!

Our tweens/teens love Boma, Biergarten, Tepan Edo and Yak & Yeti best. Their number one choice every trip is Boma.

Probably--when I asked for her in August she wasn't working that day and they didn't mention another Donna. She was great with my daughter and nieces--made them put their noses on the wall for using their "walkie talkies" aka cell phones during lunch and told them if she caught them doing it again that she was going to make them sing I'm a Little Tea Pot to a boy.

Our tweens loved Sci Fi - they love sitting in the cars.
They also love Ohana and Garden Grill for dinner.
BOG, 1900 PF, 50s PT, Hoop Dee Doo (they really love this) and Via Napoli.
Have fun!

Whispering canyon is fun for their ages. My son laughed and had a great time there in September. We plan to go back this October. It was fun for all ages, but especially his. He was feeling princessed out with his younger sister.

O'hana, 50's Prime Time, Via Napoli, BOG (if you can get it), Boma, Teppan Edo,
