Hello Christy,
Turning 13 is such a big celebration and I can't think of anywhere more magical to celebrate your darling daughters special day than at Walt Disney World Resort!
You've already done such a great job by narrowing down your choices of Disney restaurant to
Boma - Flavors of Africa and
Teppan Edo, both of which are top choices for my own family too. I must tell you that I would have real trouble in cancelling either as we all love the unique dining experiences of them both...
The food is utterly delicious at both restaurants, as is the ambiance and service but the one thing Teppan Edo has over Boma is that the Japanese Teppan chef will cook
live for you,
at your table. My family will often recall how fun our chef was and how clever he or she was at that their exhibition style of cooking.
Plus of course Teppan Edo is at
Epcot and if your Advanced Dining Reservation is scheduled well it's possible to come out of the restaurant just in time to enjoy the spectacular
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
I'm sure whichever restaurant is finally decided upon you'll enjoy a magical 13th birthday celebration for your dear daughter making memories which are sure to last you both an entire lifetime.
Have great Disney day.
~ Jane
