ugh, we had the same thing happen to us this summer where we had a PPO ADR at CP (wow, that's a lot of acronyms) but then they moved park opening and it was no longer PPO so we just dropped it. We like it but just wasn't worth the cost to us without the PPO benefits - and we had other table meals planned that day so figured it was for the best. Definitely hope you get the bunch option to work out!
This trip they definitely asked Olivia how old she was when I went to take her and Peter on Mine Train and as she was 7 they let her ride alone but you need to be 7. I definitely rode with both of them together on Big Thunder so hopefully that works out for you!
We wound up doing both the inside and outside at TS - the inside was just freezing so we had to leave, but I have to say we really liked the ouside - they had live music and the dole whipe drink is pretty darn good - plus you can get the pulled pork nachos from Captain Cook's and bring that out with you. So maybe just duck in and check out the inside and see an effect or two and then head out?
We did California Grill a few trips ago as a big group with another family (10 in total - including 4 kids ... this was pre-Emma) and we had a great time. They had us at one big table and we shared some flatbreads and other apps, etc. and then got to see the fireworks and stuff. So you should have a great time. We did find that the place largely clears of out kids after the fireworks but up until that point it feels pretty kid friendly. So tip for if you want a romantic "date night" plan to arrive close to firework time, and watch them with your pre-dinner cocktail and then have a quite meal aftewards
