Where to dine? (please help a newbie)

[heather31]

Hi, I am taking my family of 4 to Disneyworld in January and the dining plans have my head spinning. I have no idea where to start. We are going to be on a budget, so eating fancy meals at every meal will NOT be happening.

I read the food picture thread last night and Whispering Cafe looks like alot of fun, but one question, is it ok to resort hop for dining? We are staying at All Star Movies and would love to go to Wilderness Lodge to try this restaraunt.

you will enjoy some of the meals at ALL Star resorts. They have a good variety and they are good. Yes you can go to different resorts to eat. Some of the counter service restaurants at the parks are great too. MK has cosmic rays, Pecos Bills, and Columbia House.....all great meals.....Get a brochure of each park when you arrive there and look at the counter service places. Hope you enjoy your vacation.

Heather,
You might also want to check out Allearsnet.com. It has all the menus for Disney's resort and park restaurants. Its also a good way to plan.

Enjoy

Hi Heather:
If you want to eat at the Wilderness Loge you should plan to do so on one of your Magic Kingdom days. This way you can exit the MK and just walk straight ahead to the boat for WL. Check the overhead signs to make sure you are taking the correct boat. Resort hopping can be time consuming unless you are coming from a nearby theme park. It is easy to eat at any of the MK resorts via boats or monorail. You can also walk to the Contemporary Resort from the MK.
I agree with another poster that you should look over the menus on allearsnet.com. It has loads of valuable information. For discount info check out mousesaver.com.
