I'm Sarah and I'll be your Food Report hostess.
If you're not familiar with the Hicks on Holiday, please come read our trip report -- there's a handy link in my siggie.
Our trip was from 9/16-9/27, and we planned it around the Free Dining promotion.
Some would argue that Free Dining is not actually free, because you pay rack rates for your room.
Well, for us, it is a much better value than getting a room discount.
Why, you ask?
Because we happen to have SEVEN children!
And as anyone who has kids knows, it's all about the food. And in our case, it's about the food X 7.
Not to mention, we brought along some kin folk, all WDW first timers, and they believe us to be Disney Fairy Godmothers for hooking them up with all of that free food.
So In this post I will list the cast of characters, as well as tell you what restaurants you can expect to hear about.
I have some pics, but not for everything, so I hope you will bear with me on that.
[MAJOR DISCLAIMER: Our family has some food allergies/sensitivities. Although two members avoid wheat, we do not have celiac nor are we anaphalactic to wheat. So you may notice that the two who avoid wheat will eat some wheat products during this trip. Please do not use our dining choices to plan for someone who cannot eat wheat or gluten.
I will try to point out restaurants that were really helpful in providing wheat/gluten free foods, but always check with the chef yourself! ]
First up:
Me (Sarah) - Mom and trip planner.
I like to think I am adventurous about food, but really I like normal stuff.
I really hate to try something new and worry that I won't like it, even if it is free.
Therefore I tend to book buffets, because they are a good way to try new things relatively risk free.
DH (John) - hubby and trip payer. Meat, potatoes, and beer. And some dessert. With coffee. That's it. That's all he requires in the area of eats.
Disney Girl - My 13yo dd. Wants to try Prime Rib this time.
Likes steak, most meats, some veggies, and doesn't really like chocolate.
[I do not know where she got THAT from?!?]
The Chef - My 11yo ds. Yes, he wants to be a chef. Willing to try just about anything, doesn't like some things, likes a good chicken strip now and again.
Danger Boy - My ds, 8. Allergic to peanuts and sensitive to wheat. Otherwise, he is a really good eater and not as picky as the rest. Happy to hear that WDW has some GF foods available.
The Inquisitor- My 6yo ds. He eats just about everything, and is always curious when the next meal is coming. LOL
Princess K - 4yo dd. Another good eater. She is looking forward to eating with some Princesses.
Bitsy - DD, 3yo. Avoids wheat. She is also looking forward to the Princesses!
Babycakes - DD1, this is her first trip. Pretty much a picky eater, who hasn't quite accepted that all food is good.
Mom - My mom, who has never been to WDW. She is an excellent cook and likes pretty much everything.
Bionic SIL - She is looking forward to not having to pay for meals, and hoping to get some good food to boot.
Stitch Jr. - our Nephew - 9 yo. tomorrow. He only eats chicken legs, chicken nuggets, chicken strips, pizza, and pbj. Seriously.
And last but not least,
Pochohantas Jr., our Niece - 10.5 yo. She likes normal, everyday, kid's food, and is also looking forward to breakfast with the princesses.
So I'll try to keep my posting at a brisk pace.
