AK Picnic in the Park Questions

[Motherofboys]

I see that it is now seasonal....how do you know when they will have it offered then? We are going in March, can I assume they will be offering it then since it is a busier time?

Any reviews on the sandwiches? I have read a few on the chicken and some of the sides, not many on the sandwiches though.

If you buy a meal for 4 and choose chips as the side, do you get 4 individual bags of chips?

Random enough questions for you??

TIA

There is a review in my dining report.

You can't assume anything, honestly, since "seasonal" in Disney talk means "whenever we feel it's necessary." March is definitely not a busy time (except the weeks before and after Easter, which this year is April 3), so it seems relatively unlikely they'd offer it in March. But you never know.

Each side is meant to feed 2-3 people so I assume it's one large-ish bag of chips (plus you get a container of your other side), but I don't know, because we didn't have the chips.

March isn't busy?? We usually go in late August/September, so for us it is super busy

I guess we will wait and see if it is available. I did read your review earlier, you have me considering getting the side of tofu/zuchinni as my meal

Thanks for the reply!

I've only gotten the chicken but I've had friends who got sandwiches and they got individual single serving bags of chips.

March is usually lower crowds than summer, isn't it? Except if Easter falls in March.

Looking at what I can of the UOG Crowd Calendar, the start of March is predicted to be mostly 4-6s with a 7 and an 8. I was there from Labor Day weekend through mid-September last year, and it was mostly 7s with a few 5s and an 8. So I'd say March is a little less busy.

I hope it is available because I will be at AK on 3/22 and was hoping to get it again. We loved it. The sides are huge, almost too big. We got Mac and Cheese, Tomato and Cucumber Salad and the Fruit Salad, which was just cut up fresh fruit but yummy nonetheless. We got the ham in June and in Dec they said they no longer offered it. They did call the bakery and we ended up with the ham which is delicious. Also I get a bit tired of chicken while I am there so the ham is a nice change plus my dds like it!!

Thanks for all the replies

I hope they are offering it too, it will be a nice change from pizza/bbq and much easier to share.

Thanks again!
