Help me decide where to eat!

[Canadian Harmony]

Too many choices! Here's what my parameters are:

We will be in the park on arrival after dinner, so from 6 til close.
We will have 2 full days at each park (park hopping mostly), DL the first two days, DCA the second two days.

- 1 character breakfast for a birthday (leaning towards Goofy, but she can't decide if she likes Minnie or Mickey better). Who do you like better - Goofy at DLR, Minnie in the Park, or PPH?
- 4 other breakfasts will be done at PPH as we're staying Concierge.

- 4 lunches... ? We're taking a break each day between 12 or 12:30 til 3. Could snack at PPH, but if it's not filling enough, should we get a loaf of bread and some peanut butter, coldcuts and cheese? Or, what's a reasonbly-priced place with good food in the park. By then we'll want to sit down for a bit and eat I'm sure.

- 1 character 'dinner' (really a late lunch) for a birthday (Ariel's Grotto. Can't change this or I'll never hear the end of it).
- 1 dinner on arrival at House of Blues.
- 3 other dinners. We usually eat around 5:30 or 6, but could push it later if we have snacks at 3 when we get to the park again.

Morning snacks - pack 'em in or buy 'em?
Afternoon snacks - ditto.
There WILL be at least 1 churro day and 1 Dole Whip day

Carthay. Combine it with a WOC package.

Goofy's Kitchen is at the DLH, so you don't need to enter a park for this meal. Mickey is at Surf's Up at PPH, so if you're deciding between Mickey and Minnie, it's either Surf's Up or the Plaza Inn. I've been to Surf's Up and enjoyed that meal. We saw Mickey, Pluto, Daisy, and Stitch at Surf's Up (Minnie was there, but she headed out just after we got there, so we didn't see her).

- 4 lunches... ? We're taking a break each day between 12 or 12:30 til 3. Could snack at PPH, but if it's not filling enough, should we get a loaf of bread and some peanut butter, coldcuts and cheese? Or, what's a reasonbly-priced place with good food in the park. By then we'll want to sit down for a bit and eat I'm sure.

This would probably a good meal to look at some of the QS locations in the parks. I think French Market, Plaza Inn, Flo's, and Red Rockett's are good choices. The prices are theme-park prices, but they aren't super high either.

- 1 character 'dinner' (really a late lunch) for a birthday (Ariel's Grotto. Can't change this or I'll never hear the end of it).

Um...there are no characters at Ariel's for dinner. They only appear at breakfast and lunch, so you'll have to do a late lunch (it looks like lunch is served until around 5:00 pm).

- 3 other dinners. We usually eat around 5:30 or 6, but could push it later if we have snacks at 3 when we get to the park again.

I would look into the Big Thunder BBQ (AYCTE bbq) and Cafe Orleans for dinners. I also like Blue Bayou and Carthay Circle, but those are pricey.

I personally recommend Surf's Up at PPH for a character breakfast. Great character interaction!

Yes, sorry, we're doing a late lunch for Ariel, the 5pm sitting if possible.

DD1 (and 2) can each get a free sandwich at EoS as I'm signing them both up, so that can take care of part of the meal for those two days, otherwise I was thinking of hitting Rancho for some better Mexican food than we can get here.

I want to have small birthday cakes delivered for birthday dinners, so I was thinking Carnation Cafe for one night and the Grotto for the other. They'll only deliver cakes at the table service restaurants from what I understand.

The other days, I was thinking of dinner at the French Market and Plaza Inn for an easy supper. Should we look into a WoC dining package instead?
