which would you pick?

[lovemy2girls4eva]

H&V breakfast 8:40 am (have a snack in between)
Trex dinner at 5:45

OR

H&V lunch at noon (have breakfast at AoA food court)
Trex dinner at 5:45

Will be on the dining plan.

my kids are not big on breakfast. just worried that H&V lunch options will be similar to Trex dining options. Thoughts?

Are your kids really hell bent on the characters at H&V? because I'd maybe do something quick service instead of H&V. Might be easier in the long run.

ugh I hear you......but unfortunately, this is a must for them.

If choosing between breakfast and lunch at H&V, I'd go with breakfast. It just seems like there's more for them to see eat and experience than at lunch.

If you do breakfast, you'll avoid menu similarities at TRex

I would go with this one. I don't think you'd be hungry enough to warrant a table service meal that soon after a big buffet lunch.

It may also depend on when you are going... I'm assuming you want to meet the Disney Junior characters. But it's my understanding that after from September lunch will be Minnie and friends and breakfast will be the only meal to feature the Disney Junior Characters.

Characters don't weigh into it then

So, really it just comes down to if you think you all could eat a TS meal a couple hours after a buffet lunch. Otherwise the credits will just go to waste.

But if lunch is what you think would suit your family best then go for it. Although there is some crossover with food options, you are bound to be able to find stuff on the Trex menu that you passed on/ wasn't available at lunch...

Personally I'd still go with breakfast though

What are your other plans for the day? Would you be going to HS simply for the ADR?

Neither.
Sorry but H & V is the only restaurant in all of WDW we will Never return to

I wouldn't dare go near H&V again. The food is horrendous. That being said, I'd rather do breakfast there than dinner.
My kids love TRex and have since they were babies. We just ask not to sit in the ice cave.

where do you recommend we sit then?

 

[DisneyWishes14]

If your kids aren't really into breakfast, I would do the H&V lunch. My DS9 isn't into breakfast either and I found that eating a TS breakfast became a big waste of time and money (or TS credits, in this case). There is enough variety at H&V that there won't be a ton of overlap with the menu at TRex.

Anywhere but that one area. The place is huge so there is plenty of other areas. My kids like if they can see the aquarium.
