We've done them both. I'd definately do HDDMV and not the BBQ. The BBQ was hot hot hot in late September, and the mosquitos nearly carried us away. The food was mediocre at best and my children were nearly trampled trying to dance with Minnie and Mickey. In all my disney trips this is the only thing I can really complain about. We had a delightful time at the hoop de doo. It's a little hokey, but still a great time. my children were 3 and 6 at the time and loved it.
