Recommendations for TS & DS-first time visitors

[True Romance]

Being from CA, we are DL veterans. We are planning our first family trip to WDW in March with the P/S/D promo. Staying 9 nights, 8 days at POR with the Dining Plan. Have kids 11,9,6. I did upgrade the 9 year old to 10 to get the adult meals. I am currently trying to book one TS meal a day and 1 DS for the trip. What do you guys recommend? I want something fun and unique for the kids. Of course I want Be Our Guest, but we just booked at 142 days out and those reservations are all gone. I did book Sci-Fi theater for our HS days and I was thinking of Hoop-Dee-Doo for our Dinner Show. Is there another DS you think is better?

Oh, I do not have a daughter who is into Princesses. But maybe one Character Buffet would be fun.

I would love all of your expert opinions on the best TS restaurants to get.

I personally did not care for Hoop De Doo but that could have been because we had the late seating and I was pretty much crashed by then lol. I did enjoy the Polynesian Luau. Have not tried the Backyard BBQ but thinking that might be the most kid friendly.

Love Sci Fi dine in . 50' Prime Time is also fun, I like their chicken pie.

I did the same upgrade for my daughter next month!

Sci-Fi is fun. Kid favorites in my group have been Boma, Biergarten, 1900 Park Fare (dinner), and Artist Point. Whispering Canyon is also supposed to be fun.
