bloodsong1Still a bit disconnected. It is very strange.
Let me see. I will start with food.
We ate at the following restaurants:
Coral Reef Cafe
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (Princesses!)
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop
Boatwright's Dining Hall
Cape May Cafe
Crystal Palace (Winnie the Pooh!)
The Plaza
Rainforest Cafe (Downtown Disney)
Chefs De France
Nine Dragons
Sassagoula Food Court (breakfast every day)
There was also a hot dog stand at Typhoon Lagoon.
My favorites were the Coral Reef and Akershus. Wonderful food, fabulous salt water tank at Coral Reef and lots of princesses at Akershus. Cape May Cafe & Crystal Palace were buffets and equally good. I changed a few reservations, but there's still about a dozen or so restaurants I want to go back and try. I'd also like to do the Snack Around the World thing and get something to eat or drink at every country in the International Showcase at Epcot. It was the Garden & Flower Show at Epcot, so there were additional stands and food stalls set up with organic and local foods. We skipped all of them as my children are not adventurous eaters and I kept their snacking to a minimum.
Speaking of food, the Disney Dining Plan is a MUST. I recommend the deluxe, which gets you three squares and two snacks a day per person. We didn't use it up, but we were down to about 5 meals and 15 snacks. Like I said, I kept the snacking down because I knew we wouldn't be able to eat our dinners. Appetizer, entree and dessert is too much for my family's tummies most days, unless we eat off the kids menu. Also, specialty and alcoholic drinks aren't included in the dining plan. I spent an extra $30 or so on those. Coconut elixirs for the win. There's also a few dining experiences that aren't on the plan or take two meals to participate in. Plan accordingly.
