Disney Dining

Once you've decided on your vacation package, you need to make plans immediately if you're going to eat onsite as it books up REALLY quickly.

You can do this by using the Unofficial Guide to Disney World and by checking out dining reviews at http://www.allears.net/ as there is a forum for users to post their thoughts and also rate the restaurants.

You can also use the Planning Strategy Calculator to let you know when you need to book your reservations at Disney World.

There's also this really cool link which is the Top Disney Restaurants Value for Credit indicating price per person for each restaurant.

Then, call Disney Dining at (407) WDW-DINE (939-3463) to make your reservations.

Personal favorites for Character Dining include:

• Cinderella's Royal Buffet in the Magic Kingdom (Breakfast and Lunch meet and greet with the Disney Princesses) - fills up fast.
• Akershus in Epcot (meet and greet with the Disney Princesses)
• Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom (meet and greet Winnie the Pooh)
• Hollywood & Vine at Disney Hollywood Studios (meet the Little Einsteins)
