Hi

I just got my DH & my BIL to agree to change out trip DL to a trip to WDW. So here is what I know we are going in sept 19-27. We will get free dinning, and be staying at a value. I need your help on which value, best places to eat, best ways to see the parks . I think we are going to get 7 day park hoppers. We are a group of 4 adults and 2 children( 3 & 12 years). My BF & her family may be joining us which add on 2 more adults and 2 more kids (3 & 1). I am so excited and do not know where to start planning. I just know I should get started on it. Please help me

My advice would be to make your reservations as soon as you can because free dining makes WDW even more desirable! And the values will probably book quickly. It might come down to which one is available.

Think about the resorts available and which one you think would work out best for your group. All-Star Music has suites available that sleep 6 and have small kitchenettes where you could store bottled water, snacks, etc. All the value resorts have interesting theming, so go with what works for you. Here are some links to check out --

As for the ADRs, we always find it best to plan our meals around where we believe we will be for the day - MK, DTD, etc. This makes it easy and cuts down on "commuting". Of course, if you will have a car/van, this does not matter as much. The character meals are very popular and tough to book, so you should think through which ones you would like to attend - your 90-day window for booking is fast approaching!

I personally love the Pop. We've stayed twice in the big wheel building, 4th floor right by the elevator and close to the bus stop. I requested a room the second year and they were able to give it to us.

Allears.net is a great place to review. You can see all the menus so it is easier to decide where you want to eat. Its full of information.

Also, now you can do ADR online. Be flexible with your ADR. We were unable to get Tavern Tree the first year, until she looked up a MNSSHP day. We went on that day after the park closed to non MNSSHP guests and got to see the parade right when we were leaving, perfect timing!

Have fun!
