Hi Paula,
How exciting to know you are busy planning for a magical vacation for next
summer. Let me help you with some tips and hints.
My family love the
Dining Plans, since they let us prepay for our meals. And the
Disney Dining Plan is the one that works best for us, as we love to enjoy family meals at a Table-Service restaurant every night. In fact, we always try a few different ones on every trip.
There are many fun dining options throughout the Resort. Among my favorite,
Whispering Canyon Cafe in Disney's Wilderness Lodge is a great option for the whole family with many American favorites (except you may need to ask for Ketchup). Another one is
50's Prime Time Café in Disney's Hollywood Studios. The waiters will make you feel right at home, and just like mom, will remind you to eat your greens. And one of my favorite character meals, is at
Tusker House Restaurant in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Donald and his friends will join you while you enjoy some delicious African inspired dishes.
One last tip: be sure to make
advanced dining reservations starting 180 days before your Check-In. Happy planning!
Ricardo.
