new here...advice for MK?

[C-CMom]

Hmmm...I posted a reply but it didn't come up. Sorry in advance if 2 replies eventually appear.

Anyway, Smoked Turkey Legs $5.49 listed on the ALllEarsNet menu from "Lunching Pad" in Tomorrowland. Also some at a cart in Frontierland, I think. Probably more sights, and I would bet a search here in dining would turn some up if you are interested. My DD9 doesn't like them, but since I first had one at MK, I have associated them with MK forevermore. It's unique enough that I feel I must have one when I go. To each his/her own, though.

Based on having been to WDW for the week following Memorial Day for the past 2 years, I would say with a decent plan (which it seems you have! ), you should be able to do all you have on your list (and maybe a bit more). I also avoided certain parks based on crowd expectations, including avoiding some EMH as I expected that to draw extra crowds as well. Park-hoppers helped us, but again, not worth it to everyone.

Keep a smile, and a good back-up plan can be a great as a good starting plan!

You should definitely go the allearsnet site and check out the dining section. It has all of the current Disney World restaurant menus.....with prices! That way, you can decide in advance which places fit into your budget.

I think you might want to book some of the buffets. You can eat your fill and know that you've spent your money well. Some of our favorites are Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom, Chef Mickey in the Contemporary Resort, Ohana (which is an endless "family style" served meal with really fun and lively entertainment) and Boma in the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Good luck!
