Food .....................

[kiers74]

Hi Just thought i would ask what you all do for lunch.

over in blighty we always take a packed lunch as i hate paying £3.50 for an over cooked burger in a stale bun, or rip off prices for an awful sitdown lunch.

So do you take food with you for lunch or is the quality and price better in florida

Its usually burgers, hot dogs, slices of pizza that we get for lunch at the parks. The quality is good and prices ok. Lunch for two of us is always around $20.

Have a buffet breakfast at Sizzlers or Ponderosa first, no need to eat in the park then (always take a few cereal bars etc in case the kids are hungry, and then we just have an ice-cream or popsicle.

I strongly support the large breakfast with a small snack during the day and then a nice sit down dinner.

You will probably be overwhelmed by the choice if you haven't been here before. Food food everywhere.....and huge portions so keep that in mind at night.

I'd agree with that. We had a huge breakfast last year every morning and the took some snacks with us to the park. Sit down meals are great - can highly reccommend places like Garden Grill, Crystal Palace

The other thing about having a large breakfast and a small snack midday it often free's up some extra cash if you are on a budget. You can do some nicer dinners by having a lighter lunch/snack. Not to mention going for a healthier option midday will help give you some needed energy to face the second half of the parks.

Near enough always do a buffet breakfast that way we don't normally have to worry about food until the evening.

The quality of food at the parks is in a different world compared to over here. Good quality restaurants and even the vendors sell quality food. Not too pricey but still I'd try and get a big breakfast, as suggested, or on the days when the parks stay open later nip out and grab lunch somewhere else to cut the costs.

We had a large breakfasts some mornings when we were having a later start to the day. On days we wanted to be at the parks before nine, we couldn't really face this early on and had an early lunch at the parks.
Which ever you decide to do, you'll find food choice plentiful, good value and 100% better than the offerings at UK theme parks,

dh and i tend to snack but i always take a sandwich for dd as she is so fussy she wouldn't eat anything otherwise

[AlltheHoggs]

We go with the flow from day to day depending on how hungry we are in the park. The great thing is there are lots of snacks on offer so you always seem to find something you like. Sometimes an ice cream will do if you've stuffed your face at breakfast time!

[BevS97]

we really enjoy the food in the parks, even the counter service food is good. I would recommend stopping for something to eat, it makes for a good break in the day.

If we have a big breakfast we don't have lunch just a snack in the parks then dinner in the evening. If we don't have breakfast then we will have a table service meal at lunchtime and just a snack or sandwich later on. We often find that after an early start we are ready to sit down for a while in the middle of the day when it's very hot. We rarely eat 3 meals a day as we find you are either drinking or snacking a lot and it fills you up.

The quality of food available in the parks over there has no comparison in the UK and prices are not as overinflated either.

We like to get to the park for opening, so last time we tended to grab something really quick for breafast from the hotel snack bar, just a muffin or something, then we'd have an ice-cream mid morning, then lunch would be burger, pizza, wrap etc, and then in the evening we'd go for a sit down meal. More ice-cream mid afternoon too usually, lol. I think the buffet breakfast is a great idea, but we'd have to get up really early cos our shuttle bus to the parks left at 7.45! Plus I know what I'm like - no matter how big my breakfast is, I'd be wanting a proper lunch, lol!!!

We tend to do a small breakfast and lunch and have a TS meal in the evening. Its usually a muffin, croissant or danish for breakfast. We might share a sandwich or two for lunch and then its whatever our TS ADRs are in the evening.

usually stay in an hotel that has complimentary breakfast so have a counter service meal at lunch time, agree it makes a nice sitdown break. couldn't not eat at columbia house m.k. and japan, china, morrocco and mexico in epcot! :)
