Dining suggestions for first timers?

[tnmom25]

We are going to wdw May 12-19 for the first time. It will be me, dh, ds18, dd14, dd7, dd5 & dd11mo. We have a large family and I don't have a fortune to spend on eating out. I plan to take snack stuff for lunchtime and maybe have a sit-down dinner or make dinner at our resort (we're staying off disney, so we might not get back til late). Any suggestions on where to eat that's reasonable (I know it's disney and that word is almost hilarious) and also enjoyable for kids and good food?

At the ages shown, for dining purposes you have four adults (10+), two children (3-9) and one infant. Here is a link to all the information you will need about dining. Note it can take you (on the left where it says "Menus") to the menus for every eatery, from Victoria and Albert's down to the fixed locationfood carts. This may help in your planning,

We also have 5 children that are just about the exact same ages as yours, from 17 ~ 17 months! There are soo many neat places to eat in Disney as well as around Disney. I would for sure bring a bunch of snacks and water bottles. Have fun!!
