Kids might enjoy lunch or dinner at the Garden Grill at Epcot, menu looks nice & characters are there. We are going to try restaurant Marrakesh this time, think they have an 'ordinary ' kids menu there ! :)

Carys, you don't say who/how many in your party. It might help some people to comment further on whether you have the right mix of stuff. What tickets have you got -Disney, Universal etc? You say you are staying in a villa, right. Have you avoided the parks where there are EMHs?

Depending on which park you choose for your last day would depend on recommendations for where to eat your last meal but off the top of my head:

Magic Kingdom - Liberty Tree Tavern or Crystal Palace (if you want a character meal) or what about 1900 Park Faire at teh Grand Floridian for the buffet dinner?

Animal Kingdom - Rainforest Cafe, although I understand this can be a bit hit or miss

Epcot - Le Cellier or Rose and Crown?

MGM - 50s Prime Time Cafe or Mama Melrose?

Alternatively, you could try one of the resort restaurants - just choose a resort near to the park where you will be. It is worth mentioning, though, that you may struggle to get a 'walk-in' or even ADR at this late stage for some of the restaurants mentioned.

Hope this is of some help. Feel free to ask any more questions if you have any.

Personally, I think your itinerary looks good though - you have a good mix of park and non-park/rest days and a good spread. Lucky you for being able to go for 3 weeks - enjoy :)

Sorry thought i had said Me DH and 3 kids going. I have booked 3 adr's for LTT , H&V, and Whispering Canyon.But thought i could try my luck with prime time and rainforest cafe as we did last time:confused2 Thought we would try and get tickets for Dolly Parton out there.Thanks for your help .

It looks good to me :grin: Thurs 8th may be a good day to go to Dixie's stampede in the evening. Also your last day would be nice at MK, maybe an ADR at Crystal palace, it would be ideal if there was a 'wishes' firework display that night just to finish off the holiday nicely, otherwise maybe one last viewing of illuminations of earth?
You seem to have all the right tickets, have a great holiday :grin:

Thanks for that i will lookk at The dixie stampede for thurs 8 th can i get my tickets there ?

[evieg1983]

looks good to me, seeing as you are going for a nice long time, you can probably keep the ??????? days like that and see how you feel on the day. As you are not so presssed for time a liitle flexibility will be refreshing for you i expect.

if you want to get tickets for dolly parton out there there is a stand at premium outlets that sell them and last time they were selling them as buy an adult ticket and a child goes free;)

[carys]

Thanks Andi sounds like a good idea to get them there then.I have 21 days left to go and i want them to go quickley but i want the 21 after that to be slow !:pgig: :pgig: :pgig:

[ali-s]

Another thought - mon 5th might be a good day / afternoon for a 2nd visit to MK, as you can get the boat from MK to wilderness lodge for your ADR, something different to try :)

Hi Carys ,
Looks like you are going to have a great time. We are hoping to do three weeks next year, possibly around the same time . As it will be your daughter's birthday don't forget to go into guest services and collect her birthday badge , also be sure to let LTT know that it is her special day. She will then probably receive birthday congratulations from cast members / characters who notice the badge and LTT may decorate the table, offer her a special birthday cupcake etc. Have fun :smile:

[carys]

Thanks May will do .I have ordered a cake for her at LTT. Really getting excited now.:spin:

[andi30]

aww she is going to love LTT, my kids loved it and the food is :tounge:
