Where should we eat? Fill in the Blanks!

I agree with others that we don't tend to do 3 full meals a day, our normal plan is breakfast in the villa of cereal or bagels (with maybe the odd breakfast out), snack in the parks mid morning, then main meal mid to late afternoon when the restaurants are quieter (particularly eating with a little one you don't want to be waiting for a table). The meals are so huge we then don't need anything much later on

Offsite I'd recommend Chilis, Olive Garden and Sweet Tomatoes, it might also be worth considering one character meal, you wouldn't pay for an under 3

Thanks all! Yeah we aren't planning on 3 restaurant meals a day, we've previously had bagels at the hotel but wanted to keep things open incase we were missing a trick on any breakfast gems!

Yeah we've booked Tusker House in Animal Kingdom! Hoping it'll be a good one as we wanted him to see Mickey, Donald & Goofy!

Which Golden Corral do you recommend? Had a bad experience with the I-Drive one!

Also yeah you're spot on RE: not planning breakfast for park days, we'd wanna be at parks for opening!

I would have dinner at Via Napoli in Epcot , and highly recommend the Nudel Gratin and giant pretzel at the quick service in Germany .

[elise]

I also recommend the bread service and a cocktail at Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom . Trails End is another must do for us , a ferry ride from the magic kingdom and makes a nice break from the madness .

Never been to the I-Drive one but our favourite is the one near little Lake Bryan, next to Bahama Breeze.

Bowl of cereal for brekkie, light snack lunch and then dinner in the evening is plenty for us.
If I followed your eating plan, I would come home 2 stones or more heavier and i’m No lightweight now!
I guess we’re all different, but I feel you may be over planning your eating strategy?
Either way, have fun.
I would consider;
Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse
Carraba’s
Maggiano’s Little Italy
But there are so many good places to eat, sometimes you just have to make s decision on the fly.

I liked maggianos, but when I went with friends many years ago, I literally ordered for one whereas friends done the 3 courses platters things. And they kept bringing loads of bits out... so much that we had meals for 2-3 days after.
My meal was a 1/2 bowl of spaghetti and meatballs and the depth of the bowl honestly was around 10inches deep and the same around... it was huge!

One of the Tuesdays has to be Rocco's taco's for taco tuesday.

Olive Garden on your arrival day? You'll probably be very tired and though you think you're hungry won't be able to eat all the deliciousness that's there. I'd go for something lighter, we always find that as soon as we sit and relax that we are ready for bed xx
