Hey Everyone
We just got back from a wonderful trip to the World....with our 11wk old son! It was the most magical trip yet We stayed at the Swan and therefore did not do the Disney Dining Plan. I was interested to see if we would save any money by not having the plan since we felt the plan had so much more food than what we usually eat. I saved most receipts so I'm going to compare what we would have spent on the plan versus what we actually spent.
Here's a quick intro so you know who you're reading about
My name is Carolyn, I'm 29 and currently live in Maine. I grew up in Chicago and used to be a chef before a back injury put an end to that, now I'm a banker (yay 9-5!) I like pretty much anything and will try anything but I LOVE Italian food and iced coffee. I also adore WDW and this was my 7th trip
Here we are in line for Dumbo!
My DH, Derek, is 33 and grew up in Boston. His mother was not exactly the best cook, thank god she isn't on the DIS He often says he didn't enjoy food until he met me He is a meat and potato kind of guy, but he's easily influenced if I strongly suggest he should order something. He also sushi.
Our Son, Silas, was born Feb. 9th and is the love of our lives. His favorite food currently is milk, milk, and more milk He loved WDW and all the lights, colors, and sounds, he went especially crazy for the Tiki Room!
His first Ears
I will cover the following
Wolfgang Puck Cafe
Pinnochio's Village Haus
Biergarten
Rosie's All American Cafe
Pecos Bill's
The Plaza
The Java Bar (at the Swan)
