Mickey's BBQ and Xmas party?

[phnguyk]

I need some opinions! We are going next month Dec 12-18th. On the 12th I currently have us scheduled for Mickey's BBQ and the next day we are doing the Xmas party. My question is should I cancel the bbq since we are going to the xmas party (since the party has dance parties as well)?

Do they interact with the kids at the parties like they do at bbq?
I'm thinking the extra money for the bbq won't be worth it since we can get similar experience at dance party (without the food)

We are on the dining plan and am not sure if i should use 2 t.s for it.
We have 2 boys age 4 and almost 2.
TIA!

I would do the xmas party. Yes the characters dance with the kids. The BBQ is a mad house. Also little known secret.... at Hollywood Studios on the extra magic hour at night there is a dance party for the kids with all the characters including Mickey and Mini. It happens at Disney Playhouse and is NOT on the schedules.
it is a blast! We have gone to them both every year we go. My son loves it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yix1YRQPHuc
