We went to Disney April 28-may 5
It was the best time. Before we went I found this web site http://allears.net/menu/menus.htm It has all the menus with current prices. I used it to pick where I was going to make ressies. I found places that had a good selection with healthy choices. A real help.
I suggest that if you are staying on Disney property that you get the Deluxe dinning plan. You get a lot of food but I had 2 little ones that were to Young to be on their own plan so I got to share. Plus with all the walking I still lost even with the yummy desserts. The most important thing is the Quick service meals are OK at best, with limited healthy choices. With the upgraded plan I even saved $250+!!!! that's a big savings. How I figured that out was from site above I add what we got then subtracted it from what I paid. I also didn't include the snacks we got because I couldn't remember the prices or places we grabbed them at.
We stayed at POP century. great staff, our room was clean, and the pool was close. We stayed in the 80's it's close to the bus pick up.
If you have kids under 5-6 bring a stroller. they get tired fast. We took 2 and gate checked them on the plane. fast and easy. My 3yo stayed it her stroller a lot, I think it was her safety bubble.
There are great deals going on so if you can swing it go. The penny pinching is so worth the happiness on my kids face when we were there is so worth it. Thanks uncle SAM for that refund this year.

Sounds like fun! We liked Pop Century too - I think we've stayed in every resort now! LOL We haven't ever done the dining program, mostly because it's just two of us and we like to eat at the higher end places for romantic dinners ;)

Here is a link to the restaurant that participate. http://allears.net/pl/ddpbasic.htm It cast about $71 per day/per adult and $20.99 ages 3-9.
Devyn had a blast at 16 months he won't remember it (except from stories but there was plenty for him to do and a lot to do as a family. even rides. |
