Trip is August 2019 and my 180-day-window opens next month, so I have some time. Staying at AKL, with my 3 kids (10, 7, and 4 at the time of our trip) and my parents. We have the park hopper & free Disney dining plan.
Arrival Day: Dinner at Sanaa
Full day 1: Lunch or Dinner at Tusker House with AK lights show seating
Full day 2: Lunch or Dinner at Hollywood & Vine with Fantasmic seating
Full day 3: Lunch at Biergarten
Full day 4: QS lunch reservations at Be our Guest; Dinner at 1900 Park Fare
Departure day: Breakfast at Boma
I've been to none of these restaurants yet. This is my first August trip to Disney and I have some concerns about the heat. My general plan is to go to the parks in the mornings, then go back to the hotel in the afternoon and possibly go back to the parks in the evening if we're up for it.
Here are my specific questions:

Here are my specific questions:
- Do you think it's fine to eat at BOTH Tusker House and H&V? Some of the characters seem to be similar. I could consider changing one or the other to Yak and Yeti or Sci-Fi, but would lose the show seating. (I did do Mama Melrose / Fantasmic seating once and we didn't really think the extra ticket to Fantasmic was necessary, but it's one less thing to worry about, if I do get it, and I am interested in trying Tusker & H&V anyway...)
- I'm considering making one of Tusker or H&V (or whatever I sub in, instead) a dinner instead of a lunch. If it's lunch that will give us AC during the day, and free us up in evening if we choose not return to the park. But, I think I'll try to make one a dinner to free us up in the afternoon and give us more lunch flexibility one day.
- Do you think I'll regret skipping dinner at Boma and only having breakfast there?
