Mickey's BBQ or Hoop Dee Doo

[gellolicious]

DH, DD (9 months) and I will be staying at FWC and would like to know which of these you all prefer (especially since we'll have a 9 mo old).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Since a 9 month old probably wouldn't get much out of either (other than being happy being with Mom and Dad and watching the action), I'd go with whichever option you and DH prefer. We haven't been to Mickey's BBQ, but we did go to Hoop Dee Doo with a 15 month old. We also had grandparents and older kids, so that was our prime motivation for going. Hoop Dee Doo is very much a dinner theatre show....if your 9 month old is pretty content with sitting in a high chair or your lap for a long time, you'd probably be o.k. at the Hoop Dee Doo; if you and your DH really want to see it, go for it. If you'd be happy with either, I think I'd go to Mickey's BBQ primarily because you can be walking around as you wish. All that said, I was amazed at how content our 15 month old was at Hoop Dee Doo.....he just leaned back against me and watched all the action.....think it helped a lot that we were very close to the stage. Again, probably should go with whichever you and DH would prefer, but if you're really looking for the easiest to take a baby to, I'd think it would be Mickey's BBQ.

IMO...it all depends on WHEN you are going. I would recommend against doing the BBQ in the summer months as it is outside and when we did it in August the heat was stiffling. You are under a pavillion so you have shade but we found the heat miserable. The food was fine but we were so hot, had been hot all day at EPCOT, that we could not eat as much as normal and did not feel that we got our moneys worth.
