On the 12th you have Epcot scheduled for breakfast and dinner, but your two lunch choices are located in Animal Kingdom...Did you mean to put those on your AK day? Other than that, your choices sound like fun! I especially like the girls only plans for that mom and daughter time!

Thank you for pointing that out!! I would have been wondering around EPCOT for HOURS looking for those 2! I have heard so many good things about both! ok then where to go for Lunch in EPCOT?
I didn't think the boys would really "dig" the princesses! LOL

Epcot has SO many great counter places, esp if you enjoy trying foods from diff countries. If I had my way, we'd only eat at Epcot our entire visits

You already have LeCellier which is pretty standard steakhouse fare, do you want something different for lunch at a counter place? UK has great fish and chips, France has an incredible bakery with quiche, sandwiches, and more desserts than one can possibly consume. Morocco has my fave counter service, Tangerine cafe, with chicken and lamb kabobs, great salads, etc. Mexico is not so good, step below Taco Bell IMO. China is fairly good, similar to a food court chinese place or a Panda Express or something, same with Japan. Norway also has a bakery, but not as extensive. I know I am missing places, I haven't eaten at US because I can eat that here in Texas, and we didn't get to sample Germany while there (too stuffed!). Tried all the others. Canada and Italy don't have a counter service.

If you don't want ethnic, the Land has the Sunshine Fair something or the other with various counter service items in a nice airconditioned place. Newly remodeled, it's gotten good reviews.

Or you could snack your way around, which is what we recently did, but I don't know how that would affect your counter service. Maybe use 1 for each place that looked good and everyone taste it? We got full fast doing that.

Your plans look good!

That's a great idea, using one CS credit per country! That way we could try things we wouldn't normally try and if we didn't like it we just hop to the next "country" and try something else! Thanks again for your help!

You have two special Mommy & Daughter meals. Are your boys going to feel slighted? Do they have any special "boys only" activities such as Disney Quest. Maybe they won't feel left out. Is DH planning on taking the boys on big rides while Mom & DD are playing with the princesses?

This was pretty much the plan. poor DH is not the vacation planner the I am, so he was going to take the boys for a quick bite to eat and hit some of the "big" rides that DD could and would NOT ride. They will not feel slighted at all. We decided not to do DQ, but the kids have been earning quarters for the arcade at POR for weeks. The boys will LOVE this!
