Help where to stay on Christmas Eve& Christmas Day when arriving late.

[ANGIELAST]

Hi
We are arriving late Christmas Eve from the UK so won't have anywhere to get food (have a villa booked for 26th December) I have been looking at All Star Movies as I thought we could try & get into the park for an hour and grab some food from somewhere & then get up early and go to a park Christmas Day before heading to Raglan Road hopefully for Christmas Lunch. Then I thought Drury also looks good with all the food options and being close to Disney Springs that we can walk too.
Any thoughts or recommendations. Family of 6 ( 2 adults and 4 kids aged 12,14 & 19,20) so will need 2 rooms at All Star's but we can get a suite at Drury. The cost is near enough the same once you add parking charges on
What time do the parks usually close and will we be able to get food?
Any thoughts or recommendations
Thanks

The Drury Inn is really nice and newly renovated. They have a small meal in the early evening (think tacos, hot dogs, salad) available and included with your room cost that can be a good option. There breakfast opens early and has a lot of choices (make your own waffle station, eggs, cereal, etc). There is also an additional restaurant and Pizza Hut in the hotel.

There are several websites with discount options that also include a reduced parking rate that you could look for. That would be my choice. There bus to the parks is pretty good too.

Taken from another post:
If a Disney Springs hotel is in your budget, the location can not be beat. Their park shuttle buses will be more reliable and more often than most your Good Neighbor hotels (who often require reservations and a fee). You are also minutes walk to Disney Springs.

Drury also does a ... 5:30 Kickback “nightly snack” lasts nightly from (unsurprisingly) 5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m. A complimentary rotating menu of fresh, hot food and beer, wine, mixed drinks and soft drinks are served every day.
