We did the BBQ in 06, my DD was 5, it was cute but I will not do it again. The food was BBQ food, and it was just OK. The characters were there dancing with the kids, that's what was nice. Make sure you get there in time, or else the food gets cold fast. I thought it was kind of expensive fore what you got. I don't know if that really helps or not just thought I would give my input.
Did your kids enjoy the Hoop-Dee-Doo? We did not do that, and I am thinking about it this time.
Have fun!!!!!!
