We did both on our trip. We liked both! The main difference is what kind of food do you like...if you want ribs/chicken/beans/pork chops, head on over to the Whispering Canyon. There is a boat launch at the CR that makes for a fun little ride. If you are in the mood for more Asian influenced food, with the possibility of seeing the fireworks, zip over on the monorail to the Poly. We really liked both a lot, although I liked Ohana a bit better. But my parents liked Whispering Canyon so much they went back again with our kids while DH and I went on a date. Whispering Canyon is not at all quiet though- it might be fun for your triplets depending on their age---our son LOVED the pony races!! Loved them! More than the hula hoop at the Poly. The servers at the Whispering Canyon are smart-alecks---we loved it although some people can't stand it. And the Wilderness Lodge is breath-taking- a real experience unto itself. I think either way you will have a memorable meal. At the Whispering Canyon, most of our party had the all you can eat skillet, which had chicken, ribs, beef stew, potatoes, beans, green salad, corn & sausage. It also came with some great biscuits and cornbread. Very yummy..my mom opted for the pork chops and it was TWO HUGE chops, with mashed potatoes & corn and a salad. Have FUN!!!!
