Can anyone answer this?

Ct24 - I would definitely get the HB option, we went to DLP in October and it cost us a fortune to buy food, my friends went in December and because of the bad exchange rate they spent £100 on a very basic meal for four at one of the Disney Village restaurants. If I went again I would get the HB option for definite, it did take the shine off just a little when you were hunting for somewhere to eat and ended paying £14 for a plate of pasta!! And that was before the pound dropped against the euro - I imagine now it would be more like £17:eek: That was in Planet Hollywood which we found provided at least half decent food for not too extortionate prices.

re the kettles - Inspector Monkfish - are you sure that kettles are provided at the Sequoia Lodge? I only say this as my cousin stayed there in August and they were not provided. I would take a travel kettle just in case. Again it can get quite boring have to pay about £1-2 for a cup of tea. I mentioned this to a friend who stays in Paris a lot for work and he said that not having a kettle in the roof is actually quite standard in Paris hotels.

Caroline_john - We used the shuttle bus from the MyExplorer hotel, a complete nightmare - will never do that again and really put us off going to a non-disney hotel again. It was a complete crush, everyone just stampeded the bus every time one pulled up and we had to be VERY careful that our 3 year old wasn't crushed or separated from us. It WAS that bad. However if you don't have kids and are up for sharpening your elbows then you may be ok!! The shuttle buses were quite regular, about every 10 minutes and started quite early at about 9am until late at night.

many thanks for the replies, does anyone know what happens with my nearly 2 year old, when we pay for the hb option as they say i cant pay for her. Do i pay at the time? How much will it cost? Is she free?

Thanks again.

My DD always ate same places as us as everywhere has childrens menus, although these were too big for her so we ate some of it. Childrens menus are around 6 - 7 euros (well they were in march)

yes they are def provided, but you have to request one when you check-in, and someone will bring it to your room

we used to do it every year, when we stayed there, but now we always stay in Cheyenne, and they do exactly the same with the kettles, so i guess its the same throughout all the hotels
