My family was lucky enough to get the Free Disney Dining plan when we vacationed at WDW in October and it was WONDERFUL! Be sure to watch my Walt Disney World Specials Page on my Travel By Design with Regina Blog. It was amazing how much food you get with this plan! By purchasing these plans you are getting their money's worth for sure! Every member of my family got a Quick Service, Snack and Dinner Service for each day we were there. You get a meal plan for each night you stay at one of the resorts.
We ate well! Desserts were even included, and Disney sure knows how to do snacks and desserts. Some of my top snack picks include Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse Ice Cream bars, Popcorn and Dole Whip Floats.....yummmmm You can even use the plan to pay for character meals and even dinner shows. Make sure you note that some of the more pricey meals such as eating at Cinderella's Castle will cost more than one meal. I will let you know if this is the case before I make your dining reservations for you.

My family enjoys staying at the resorts. We have stayed both on and off the resort and I enjoy the benefits of staying on the resorts. What I really love is the scenery of the resorts. They all have their own individual charm. Whether you choose one of the value resorts such as All Star Sports or one of the moderate or deluxe resorts, they are all charming!
Port Orleans French Quarter was wonderful. My only regret is I wish we could have stayed one more night so we could have enjoyed the scene. We did not have time to enjoy the pool or walk around the property. I would have liked to walk over to the other Port Orleans resort, Riverside. I also found out as we were leaving that there is a boat that you can take from French Quarter to Downtown Disney. The kids would have loved that! That is definitely something to do next time! There were even horse and carriage rides throughout the resort.
Each resort even has some special free activities during the day and evening. French Quarter had beach parties and activities during the day and showed outdoor movies in the evenings. The Wilderness Lodge & Campgrounds has campfires in the evenings where you can roast marshmallows (I was told to be sure to bring your own as the ones you can buy are a little pricey- we bought our own along with chocolate and graham crackers at Walmart before getting to our hotel as we had planned to head over to Wilderness while we were there but ran out of time- again a "next time" event!). Wilderness even has hayrides and show outdoor movies.
Taking the buses will save you from driving around WDW, but be sure to read the signs clearly and make sure you are on the correct bus, especially if you are "boat lag" and just getting your bearings. Yes there is a story behind that comment! he he
Disney Dining Plans can only be purchased if you are staying at a Disney Resort. Extra Magic Hours are nice too! When we visited Magic Kingdom the day we went they were to close at 9 pm but our Extra Magic Hours allowed us to stay until 1 am if we wanted to.

Baby Jabali is CUTE! We had the chance to see him on our trip in October. It's amazing how big they are at such a young age. If you want to see Jabali you have to go on the Kilimanjaro Safaris. This is a fun attraction and you get to see a lot of animals. We even saw a lioness sitting on a rock sunning herself. I just wasn't sure if it was Nala, Kiara or Sarabi ....hummmm
