Dining at Disney (Orlando) What did your tweens love?

[Alexandra]

I am trying to plan the dining part of our trip and was looking for suggestions for the evening meals. I think the daytime stuff we will just decide as we walk around but I would like to have a plan for the evenings.
We would also consider a dinner show if that is a good idea.
Any dining survival tips would be appreciated!

Whispering Canyon in Wilderness Lodge. They have a whole bunch of interaction and really great food. The prices are too bad either. We also liked Chef Mickey's character dinner. Check out this site for all the menus for every place in Disney www.wdwig.com (http://www.wdwig.com) and this site for tons of other info www.disboards.com (http://www.disboards.com) . Have fun!

My kids are telling me: Whispering Canyon, Planet Hollywood, Coral Reef (if your kids like fish and steak), Liberty Tavern (character dinner - I was surprised that all my kids liked this!), Hoop De Doo (dinner show), Spirit of Aloha dinner show (what pre-teen boy doesn't like someone juggling FIRE?? LOL). My 11 yo also says not to miss all the ice cream stands!

I asked the boys if there was anything they DIDN'T like. They said that there wasn't! They say they'll like whatever you choose.

Not meal related - all of them want to tell you not to miss Lights Motors Action and Indiana Jones at MGM.

HTH!
