Need Dining and Hotel Help Please

[summer0407]

Can anyone give me a site or info on what dining attractions Disney has? I want to find out about prices for the Fantasmic Desert and the World of Color Dining info and I also wanted to know how far ahead you can book. We are planning a trip the first week of August. I also wanted some opinions on hotels. I have stayed at Hojo but usually stay at the DLH. The rates are pretty reasonable at DLH and I don't think Hojo has any ent rates for August. From some other hotels I have looked at Fairfield, Candy Cane Inn, etc it seems like DLH would only be about $200 more if even that much. We are the type to hit the parks early then leave all afternoon we usually swim and nap then go back at night so I think pool wise DLH is really nice. Is there a close hotel I am missing that has a good price and a good pool? I love HOJO pool but the rates just aren't that great. ANy advice or info would be wonderful. Oh our stay will only be 3 days.

Thanks!

Welcome. Can't help with the hotels. Always stayed a ways a way or with friends/family. This trip first stay on-site. Do have some threads to look at as far as food. As well poking around on the board should give you some great insight.

For WoC Picnic boxes and I believe somewhere in here the Priority dining as well. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2479034

General info for WoC here...and somewhere towards the end I swore there was the link to the dining portion. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2443719&page=35

I do know that the 2 restaurants taking WoC seating/meals is Ariel's Grotto and Wine Country. For an adult it is about 40.00 plus tax and tip.

Fantasmic: I have not done. Thought there was a thread for it but having no luck with the searching. But, certain someone here will help out. Last I looked at was about 60 per person and booked through the Disney Dining line.

Hope some of that helps. Best of luck and have a wonderful time.

Check out the sticky link at the top of the page--DL links, tips, etc. It has a link with hotel info, menus for all of the restaurants in the park, etc.

It's very helpful!

We have stayed at the Candy Cane Inn and really love it.

Here is a link that has some if its own links:

I believe the booking window for WOC dining is 60 days.

I think you have the bases covered on hotels. Hojos and CCI are two that people really like off-site. DLH will be more magical and has great rates this summer.
