Thats a good savings!!! I liked the idea of PB&J for the kids. My kids would eat that at every meal!! Were there any problems with that?

Also what type of voucher did you use for Le Cellier? We LOVE that restraunt but thought you could not use the vouchers there. Could you elaborate?

How did you get the vouchers again? Hotwiresavings.com? I pull that up and it doesn't come up. Is it still out there?

Thanks

Cmbar,
We never had any problem bringing food into restaurants for our kids(4 and 1). We even brought McDonald's food in an EPCOT restaurant for our 4 year old while we dined.

We used the lunch voucher at Le Cellier and made Priority Seating reservations for their last lunch seating, which I believe was for 2:50pm. We used 2 adult vouchers for that meal, which gave both my husband and I one non-alcoholic drink, one appetizer(Canadian Cheddar Soup, YUMMMM!), one entree(we each got filet mignon) and one dessert(we both had the Canadian Club Cake, which is a chocolate lover's dream). We made this our BIG late lunch/early dinner, and then just had snack food later that evening.

The on-line site, through which I purchased the vouchers is www.hotwiresavingsclub.com

You can get a free 30-day membership to the club. The vouchers include tax and 15%tip plus your meal, which is a great deal at a few restaurants.

I hope this information helps!
