Just to confuse you even more, there's no way I'd drop CRT. Even the older girls will love eating in the castle. When my niece went to WDW at 17, she said eating in the castle was the only thing she didn't get to do that she wished she could have.
To me, & this is just MHO (no offense intended), but it looks like your ADRs are too heavily focused on the little kids without much thought for what the older ones will enjoy. So, I'll offer suggestions for them.
Mad Hatter at 1900 PF breakfast is usually hilarious. The older girls will probably love him. Actually, the characters there are good for all ages. That said, this isn't a must, if you have other meals the older kids will enjoy. It's just a great choice for kids who have about outgrown the characters.
I agree that Sci-fi will be more fun for the older girls. H&V is for the pre-school demographic.
Teens usually like the heavily themed restaurants like RFC & T-Rex. Even though we haven't eater there, they may also enjoy Coral Reef.
Beaches & Cream would be a cheap OOP meal the teens would love. Order a couple appetizers or meals to share, then order the kitchen for the group. Alternatively, let them choose their own sundaes. Most kids that age think the kitchen sink is the greatest thing ever though.
Chef Mickey is an obvious choice for cancellation. Everyone should try it once, but your group will probably enjoy the other character more. As has been mentioned, it's easy to meet those characters in the parks.
I can understand why you don't want to cancel the meals the 4 yr. old will enjoy. Maybe, you could consider changing the non-character meals to meals for the teenagers. For example, changing Boma to RFC or T-Rex in DTD. Maybe, let the older kids choose the Epcot restaurants. Just a thought.

I will be keeping CRT breakfast because we will be celebrating a bday, also want to be in MK early for pics and Rope drop. I will definitely try to get a different ADR for the older girls (16 and 17) when we take the little ones to (5&6) to H&V. One of the older girls still loves the whole princess thing. Going to the castle for her birthday
I tried getting and ADR for B&C with no success. I will have to keep checking back to see if something opens up. Will look into T-Rex. Thx for your input.
I personally would still go with the younger ones to H&V but I nanny children who love Doc and Sophia so I was forced to become a fan. We took our dog to the vet and I sang "time for your checkup" on the way there, thought my BF was going to pull over and make me walk. (I'm 21.
I have to admit I love them too.
