Which dining event for birthday celebration

[trez3]

Hi,

First time DL visitor (been to WDW many times). I am trying to decide for
one celebration event for my birthday. We are a family of 5 (2 adults, teens
14, 17, 17).

Due to cost, I have narrowed it down to one of the 4 dining options..but not sure
which to choose. We love good food but will only be in the park 2 days
so I don't want to spend hours at Napa Rose for a sit down.

Which would you recommend?
Blue Bayou dinner MSEP dining package
Carthay Circle WOC dining package
WOC dessert package
Steakhouse 55 (assuming this is less time consuming than Napa Rose)

Thanks for your advice!

I vote for the WOC dessert party! It's a good end to the day, with a great view and reserved seat. Plus WOC is unique to DCA and should not be missed.

Blue Bayou is fun, but the food is very heavy and the service can be slow. Carthay has an interesting menu, but reports of service and food quality are hit and miss. Steakhouse 55 is awesome for breakfast, but we were anxious to get outta there and on to the parks, and we had 4 whole days to play!

I think for your short trip, it may be best to stick to quick service restaurants and enjoy the parks as much as possible. There is a lounge in both Carthay Circle and Steakhouse 55 if you want to try the 'lite' version of those places.

Have fun planning!
