| if its the one in disney its easy peasy they run free bus services to all the theme parks and all the other disney hotels so if you have time you can hop of and have a nosey round and you are very close to all the theme parks and when we went you could go in earlier than none disney guests also good plus no mosys in disney its all sprayed .if you want sea world or warner bros there are trips you can book on its easy you are well looked after as a disney guest they will never leave you stranded you will always get back to your hotel and its very safe,my top tip you need id to buy a beer so make sure you always have some they are very strict on this doesnt matter if you look 50 they wont risk serving you when are you going mrs shipplet

| Going Easter next year. We have to go in the school holidays because i work in a school.
We did go to Florida a couple of years ago and yes i was asked for ID. I tried to explain i was in my 30 s with a husband and 2 kids but they were strict!! I felt flattered but now I know they ask everyone!!
A friend of mine mentioned a meal deal thing!!??? Do you know what it is? she implied that for a price you could eat at the hotel and in the parks.

| The Disney Dining Plan, I will be doing that in August this year. So I will give you a more in depth run down on it when I get back.
But for now, we have ordered the basic one. Roughly £20 per adult a day, and I think the nipper was £8.
We are staying in the Caribbean Beach Resort, and as far as I can gather, we get and it can be used anywhere...
1 Table service meal...( sit down menu or a buffet) we have earmarked that for breakfast. Got to start the day the right way... mmm pancakes!
1 Quick service meal (burgers, chicken and fries type of thing) ... we are going to have that in the parks at lunchtime,
And a snack.... Ice cream or drink.
You get a soft drink with the meals also.
I reckon for the price of food in Disney, we have made the right choice.
I like to eat out in the evenings, and I have already done a dinner at the Swan Hotel and really didn't think much of it.
There are far too many restaurants out there for me find... serving those New York Strip Steaks!! yum yum! :o)

| We booked our accommodation direct with Disney. Then just gave them a call to add the Dining Plan.
They were very helpful.
Magic Hours is a first for us too this year. We stayed off Disney last year also. But I intend to make use of them this year.
They do have character dining at certain restaurants, we went to the Swan Character Dinner. To be honest, it was a waste of time.
The food was ok, the characters came in maybe two or three times. Pluto had to be forced from his kennel. Wasn't chuffed that I paid a fairly decent amount of money for little interaction with the characters. You live and learn.
I will be looking out for Mickey this time tho, and will update you.
Getting a bit excited now.... only got 39 more sleeps. :o)
Hope that helps for now.
Bex. :o)
