We have a kind of odd situation when we go in February. The first week my mother, stepfather and grandmother will be there and the second my father and stepmom will be there. (Somewhere between 0 and all 5 of my sisters, up to two brothers-in-law and possibly my nephew will be joining us at some point, but we have no idea yet who can and can't make it and when yet.)

Obviously both my mother and my father want to do things like character meals and dinner shows with the kids, which pretty much means we need to do 2 dinner shows and at least 2 character meals. My kids loved breakfast with Goofy 2 years ago at Disneyland and I'm pretty sure they'll be up for more character meals. We've managed to divide up Rainforest Cafe and T-Rex Cafe, but that's it so far.

What shows are really worth doing? We're on the free DDP and plan to spend 2 days at Sea World, leaving us with 2 "extra" TS credits. The rest of my family will likely be paying OOP for meals though, so I don't want to waste money.

Oh, my kids will be 4 (DD) and 6 (DS) and generally love almost all of the characters. We've already split the movies they've not seen yet between their wish lists so we'll see them all before we go. Current loves include Alice, the fairies (who we can't see dining, right?), Special Agent Oso and Mickey and the gang.

So, which ones would you choose or avoid, and why? And is CRT really worth 2 credits?
 
We loved Hoop Dee Doo Revue. On the ddp, its worth 2 Credits. We went in 2009 when my oldest was 18 months. Going back in August with our now 2 boys (will be 4 and 19 months during our trip). Great show, my son loved it as a toddler and I know he'll love it now), food is good (especially the cornbread and strawberry shortcake dessert), and we particularly liked category 3 seating (on the balcony basically on top of the stage, to the left or right). Its a perfect choice for a larger group too.
