Closest Restaurants to HIFS

[ejj234]

We are staying at HIFS from July 6 - 20 and have four children ages 4, 11, 12, & 13. Since we don't know the area, I'm wondering which restaurants with restaurant.com coupons are the closest and the best for family eating. We don't need anything fancy and the quicker places are likely better for us. We will also be going to Busch Gardens for a day so any info on a decent supper place around there (preferably with a coupon) would also be great. Thanks for any help you can give us.

Hop over to the Orlando Hotels and Restaurants section of the DIS. Several suggestions there.

There is a Ponderosa within 1/2 mile from the hotel, and then about another mile or so going toward LBV, there is a Golden Corral buffet restaurant. I don't think you can get coupons for either of these places, but you get a lot of food for not a lot of $. There is also a Pizza Hut and A & W at the hotel that isn't too expensive. Kids 12 and under eat free there before 5. We did the family values package a few weeks ago at HIFS and got a $50 food credit each night, so we ate at the hotel quite a bit. You might check to see if that package is available, because we saved tons of money on food by going that route. You can also get lunchmeat, etc and stock your fridge to save money.

Have fun on your trip!
