Suggestions for my Dining Plan???

[maggiew]

We are going Aug. 16 - 20. We are staying 4 nights/5 days at PBH. There is me, DH, DD - 12 y.o. and DD - 9 y.o. Here is what I planned. Suggestions? Changes? I plan to eat an early-ish lunch in the parks and then go to hotel to swim, eat an early dinner at City Walk/hotel and then back to parks.

Monday: USO
L: Monsters Cafe
D: Mama Dellas

Tuesday: IOA
L: Mythos
D: Margaritaville

Wednesday: IOA
L: Enchanted Oak
D: Pastamore

Thursday: USO
L: Tchoup Chop
D: Nascar Cafe

Friday: Favorites/HRH pool
L: Kitchen
D: Hard Rock Cafe

I love Cinnabons. Would it be inconvenient to go to City Walk to get a Cinnabon each morning? The kids will eat pop tarts or cereal in the room. Maybe we will get breakfast pastries at the breakfast places in the park.

Should I make PSs? I do plan to for Emerils and maybe Mythos. Does our key card give "next available table" at City Walk restaurants or only our hotel?

I am hoping to get the 1/2 price certificates for Margaritaville, Nascar, Kitchen and Hard Rock. But the ones offered now expire before we go. I already have the Pastamore one.

I am also thinking of getting a cabana on Friday for the Hard Rock pool.

Since you seem to enjoy really nice restaurants, I would suggest substituting Lombard's for Monsters' Cafe at US.

You key card will get you priority access everywhere.

It's a bit of a trek to Cinnabon from PBH, but an early morning boat ride back and forth might be nice.

Theres also a cinnabons in IOA I agree with kelly lombards is very nice or Finnegans opp the mummy in USO also pastamore has had so so reviews but I never tried it so no personal review as kelly says room key u jump Q but that Q can still be over an hour long there are a lot more of those keys about now so if u can I would make a reservation where possible also another suggestion for cinnabon buy the night before for next morning

Is that true?! No need to make PSs because we will have a room key(onsite)? Or should we make a PS or 2 anyway? The only 2 must-do(s) for me is Margaritaville and Mythos!

does this mean you go to the front of the line for dining for staying onsite as well? This is getting better and better!

Your room card does not get your priority access at every restaurant. Emeril's and Tchoup Chop are definately not included on that list. There are others. Can't remember right now.

If there is some place you really want to eat at...make a reservation. Remember...3 hotels..everyone with a room key, can add up to a wait on some nights.
