Deluxe Dining Review Jan 25th Feb 1st
Let me start by saying this was our first family Disney Vacation. My DH and I have visited twice many years ago when money was tight so we did not stay onsite or eat many meals in the park.
This was my dream trip as we now have DD5 and can afford to stay at the Contemporary MK view. An exciting development was that we were surprised with a free upgrade to the 12th floor Club Level. We had such a terrific time that we are planning on going to WDW next year during the same week.
We decided to go with the Deluxe Dining Plan as we are pooh-sized people who like to eat. We liked being able to choose as many TS meals as we wanted and we love appetizers. Double the snacks also sounded great. Since we are not used to eating fast food (there isnt any where we live) we did not think DD5 could survive eating CS every day.
We left Iqaluit, Nunavut on Jan 22nd and arrived in Tampa on the 23rd. My parents picked us up at the airport and we stayed with them at their place in Dade City when we werent at Disney. We didnt actually leave Florida until Feb 13th.
Cast:
Me : Chief Disney planner. I love seafood and I admit to being a little bit picky. We're not used to "fancy" food. I'll admit I'm not interested in trying new foods very often. My DH claims I have as much fun planning the vacation as I do taking the vacation.
DH : Very easy going, he will eat just about anything and not complain.
DD5 : First trip to Disney, a small but good eater. But she does not eat a lot of typical kiddie fare. She prefers plain meat and veggies.
Rating System:
Ill rate four categories (characters, service, atmosphere, food) out of 5
The return rating:
Awesome, we loved it and well definitely go on our next trip
Ok, we might give it another try
Will only go for the characters, not the food
Never again, I say NEVER
We took lots of pictures but we had trouble remembering at first, so forgive us if we are missing a few plates. I will post all I have, if I can figure out how to do it. The last time Robo posted instructions I copied them so I could have them when I need them. I've been having trouble finding time to work on my reviews since we've been home. I figured if I got started it would force me to make time to work on them.
