    We are headed to the Animal Kingdom Resort with my two daughters for a week. We did not get the meal plan. Should we make reservations for all our dinners in advance? Also, any recommendations?

    Hi Olivia,

    Your Walt Disney World vacation is just around the corner. I know your daughters are super excited! Although I don't always purchase the Disney Dining Plan, I do recommend booking Advanced Dining Reservations for Table-Service meals you are hoping to experience since it can be difficult to find last-minute availability at many restaurants. For my family of 6, I always book one Table-Service meal per day for either lunch or dinner. 

    Depending on what parks you will be visiting, I highly recommend Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria in the Italy Pavilion at Epcot, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, which features several Disney Princesses in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot, 50's Prime Time Café at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Be Our Guest Restaurant at Magic Kingdom Park.  We also love to dine at Sanaa at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village and both Kona Cafe and 'Ohana at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.

    I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions, please visit us again. Best wishes for a magical trip!
     
    Bon Appétit,
    Jodie
