Yes, the prices include appetizers, drinks, and desserts. H&V is a buffet, while Mama Melrose is sitdown and you order off of the menu. Mama Melrose does have good food so it would be a good choice, especially if you don't want the buffet. Be sure to make an early PS however, since we did the package at Brown Derby 12/29 with a 4:40 PS time and then literally had to run to make it to the show on time. The dinner was for the 6pm show (there were shows at 6, 8, and 10) and even though we weren't seated until after 5, they told us we had to go to the 6pm show or else we could just fend for ourselves at the later shows. Neither option appealed to us since we didn't want to have to rush our meal nor did we want to wait in line for a later show since we had planned on using the dinner package. Well, they then offered to give us a pass for tomorrow night's 6pm show, but we had a PS in another park for dinner than night. So they assured us they could get us out in time for the 6pm show, and they did, but we had to run to the special entrance where they had someone waiting for us since it was closed and everyone else had already entered. The bad thing was that they opened that section to the general public as we were heading in and mobs of people were literally running towards us so we had to really rush in to get the best seat left in our section. When we got home we found a message on our answering machine saying that 4:40 was too late and they needed to move our PS to 4:15, but since we had already left for our trip that didn't do us any good. You'd think they would have left a message in our resort room. We ended up doing okay, but the next time we get the package we'll be making an earlier PS.
