Need suggestions for DS's 8 bday!

[lady_bug_888]

Ok, so now that I'm on the DP banana I have to change my plans for DS's bday dinner. We were originally going to go to TRex cafe in DTD but I really don't want to pay OOP for a meal now that I'm on the plan.

I have the following reservations already:

Boma
50s Prime Time Cafe
1900 Park Fare
WCC
Chef Mickey's
Artist Point
Arkeshus
CRT

I have 4 credits left and I want to book California Grill (2 cr) and Maya Grill (1 cr) which will leave me with 1 credit for DS's bday.

He could care less about the characters (although he's a HUGE pirate fan) and he's a simple eater but not afraid to try new things. I am looking for somewhere with a fun atmosphere, kid friendly (most are...this IS Disney!) and decent food for adults. I also would like to stay out of the parks as I am letting him choose the park for that day and I don't want to commit to going to a specific park.

I'm thinking maybe HDD or Ohana's or something. His bday is on a Saturday.

ALSO, sort of OT but does anyone know about the 'pirate ship' mousse boats you can get at CRT and 1900 park fare? Do they still do these? How much are they? When do I need to reserve it?

Thanks for all your help

we will be at disney for my son's 7th birthday and are doing the same thing - letting him pick the park for the day. since he has flipflopped more than once in the past week and the trip isn't until july i too didn't want to pick anything inside a park. he wanted biergarten for his birthday dinner, but that would mean epcot for the day, so i booked his second choice which was 'Ohana for dinner. we went last year and the kids loved it! so much fun and good food too. I also have chef mickey's booked for breakfast and right now he says he wants to do MK on his birthday.
I don't know anything about the pirate ship boats, but am interested to hear about them or what you end up doing for his birthday. I also want to have some sort of cake at dinner. Good luck with your plans!
