I'm Going to WDW!

I like eating at The Wave in the Contemporary, but I don't know that they will let Madz order off the kids menu there. The quick service place there, Contempo Cafe, had a really yummy steak flatbread.

Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge is a good choice for a meal and they have one station of the buffet with chicken strips/mac and cheese etc. for the less adventurous eaters.

Get some cinnamon-roasted almonds from one of the ODV carts. They are delicious and usually still warm out of the roaster. Way better than a churro.

Animal Kingdom is a great park with lots of detail. I love going there and just wandering.

Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney is a great place to eat. Food is good and prices are low (comparatively). Raglan Road at DTD is also good. It's Irish pub food and they have entertainment in the evenings. They also have a counter service window.

Don't be shy to come over to MP and poke around the WDW forums either.

I have been

Just ordered Passporter and a couple of other books. Hidden Mickeys and another one that has stuff to look for in the Queues. That should keep us entertained.

We're trying not to do a huge amount of eating that requires reservations so that hopefully we can be a bit more flexible. I know all the "good" stuff requires reservations but we'd like to not be running around trying to make this or that reservation all day. One a day will be good I think.

Steph I am also worried about them letting her order off the kids menu. We can always try to pull the diabetic card if that happens. Or I'm happy to pay a little more as well.

Really, most restaurants can seat you in a rasonable time as a "walk up" (except the very hottest restaurants).

If you want to eat in the Castle, I have had some of the best luck calling the day before or the morning of. Since they charge you if you are a no-show, people actually cancel their reservations here.

AKL is on of my absolute favorite hotels (although I love YC/BC for their proximity to Epcot).

If you are staying at a moderate hotel, I strongly recommend renting a car instead of dealing with the buses, especially in the summer when it's crowded. Strongly. (It is not unheard of to wait 45 minutes or more during high season.)

Plan one more day then you would otherwise think for Epcot. It is a huge park.

Leave one unplanned day so you can go back and visit favorites and/or things you missed.

I'm in the minority...I like the new tiki room. Just don't expect to make an apples to apples comparison with DL.

On the other hand, I hate Country Bear Jamboree. I've never liked it, even as a kid. But that's me.
