Please help me decide!!

Hi all!

For our upcoming trip I've made the following ADR's:

Hoop Dee Doo
Tutto Italia dinner (candlelight processional package)
Hollywood Brown Derby Lunch ********
Mama Melrose Dinner ***********
'Ohana dinner
Boma dinner
Cape May Cafe dinner
Chef Mickey Dinner
Kona breakfast

Now - here's the dilemma. We have 7 table service credits (to be used for HDD(2), Tutto(1), 'Ohana(1), Boma(1), Cape May(1), Chef Mickey(1)). We will pay out of pocket for Kona and EITHER Brown Derby OR Mama Melrose. (I plan to cancel one of these two).

My question is, would you keep the Brown Derby lunch or the Mama Melrose dinner? We have never been to either of them.....aLSO, should I be concerned about taking 4 kids (boys ages 11,9,7,1) to the Brown Derby?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

No problem with the kids at Brown Derby, restuarant inside the park, full of families.

Never been a fan of Brown Derby, but I would probably cancel Mama Melroses since you are going to Tutoo.

I've been to lunch at both and prefer Brown Derby. They seem to have a larger selection. The food is good at both.

If Mama Melrose is the Fantasmic package, keep it. It will make the logistics of getting in and out of the show so much nicer for your family.

Nope - not a Fantasmic package. We opted to not do the package. We have seen the show before and never had a problem with seating.

We were wanting to add MM to our trip this year, but we too already have an ADR at Tutto. Two italian meals on one trip is a waste with so many other options. JMHO. We still haven't decided where to do our last booking. We're running out of places to try. (My goal is to do every WDW restaurant on property.... trying to finish the list before I do return trips. At least thats everything BUT flametree. Its a return meal on EVERY trip!!! )
