We are going to WDW for the 1st time 10/7 - 10/15, staying at CBR. It's Me(32), DH(28), DS(9) & DS(3months). My mom & stepdad will join us from 10/10 to 10/12. I am in charge of planning, so I'd like to get your opinions on the choices I've made for our dining plans. We all love going out to eat, so it's an important part of our trip. Also, we want to see as much of Goofy as we can since he's my DS's favorite character. We have the MYW tickets with the Dining Plan (we will pay out of pocket some of my DS's meals since he doesn't always eat from the kid's menu). Everything is negotiable until the October hours are posted, but please help me get this together before it's time to make the PS's. Any and all suggestions, opinions & comment are welcome. Thanks so much!!

Your plans sound really good. I just wanted to tell you though that i hate the pizza at Toy Story Planet. I payed way too much for nothing. It was disgusting. I had a gross cheese pizza and salad. yuck. I ate at the ABC commissary though and it was good!!

Your not eating on the day you play mini golf? Why not try Swan or Dolphin for dinner?

Chef Mickey's is better.

MGM - Toy Story Pizza - you maybe surprised - the food is not good.

Wednesday - Flame Tree is great. F&W - you may pay for this than if you had quaint sit down meal.

If you want to see Goofy, you should try the character dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. He was there in colonial garb. You can also get an autograph at the town hall in Toontown.
I'm no expert, but we liked Cosmic Ray's, Flame Tree BBQ (great frozen lemonade we never had before and you can count it as a dessert under the dining plan), and Le Cellier (you can really get a lot for your dining plan $ there, too).
