This was an awesome trip report! I love the couponing... very nice, never saw anyone do that before. Did you ever use the onsite quickservice dining deal?

Thanks for reading. We didn't do the quick service deal but I am going to this time and use it for breakfast in leaky cauldron or 3 broomsticks. Deal is $19.99 for adults but the breakfast is $15.99. So deal will pay for breakfast and a drink meaning the extra drink and snack are free. Not worth it if you are getting a cheaper meal though from what I can see.

From what I understand, you can purchase the plan when you buy your meal, so if you're going to spend more than 12ish dollars on it, you'll get a snack and a drink as well... for like 6 more you can upgrade your soda to one of those freestyle cups... so you get a new one for the price of recharging an old one. Or at least a few bucks cheaper. That's what I understand, anyway. Wonder if that works for the kid's meal? Then it would definitely be worth it. I wonder if you can buy just the kid's meal quickservice plan, as I normally eat kid's meals when I go to parks, anyway.

Yes you can buy it from the cashier when you buy a meal.

Great trip report! I love the detail and especially all the foodie info! Your DD is beautiful. I laughed when you said your beverage choices on the plane as you had my drink of choice from my 20's and DH had my current drink of choice. I can't believe the nice plane food you had...better than the peanuts we get!
DD's Halloween costume was very cute. Fantastic photos.
We are going to US for the first time next spring, can't wait.......you are giving us some great ideas for food. Love the tip regarding email clubs. I usually do that for our vacations, but for some reason never think to do it when we are in Orlando!

Thanks for reading and posting. We get food on planes as it's a 9 hour flight, food was better on this flight as we were premium class. Have a great trip and well worth signing up to email clubs.

I've not done a pre trip report but we are flying on Wednesday staying 10 nights at Cabana bay this time. Hope to do another trip report.

I just read this--wonderful!! We stay off site and I enjoyed all the dining reviews. I'm trying to convince my husband to do a 3 night stay at Cabana Bay with no kids for our 5 year anniversary.

Thanks for reading and posting. Go for it you won't be disappointed. We stayed 10 nights again October 2015 (hopefully will get posting a new trip report soon!) and are hoping to stay 7 nights again in May. We usually go to different hotels each trip but Cabana has suited us so well and we have had a great time each stay.

Great trip report! I hadn't realized it was for 2014 until you started the 2015. lol What great family memories to have.

Kudos on all the restaurant discounts - that must have been a lot of work and planning! My favorite "discount" was finding the HP robe at Target. What a savings and very cute!
