I think you mean Golden Coral! It is one of the better buffets. Plenty of choice, certainly got better the last couple of years. Does not match the better Vegas ones but it fine for Orlando area there are several dotted around. And one of the best GC. is the new one on the 192 by the I4.

We tried the GC on the 192 east of Disney and I now know what a Red Cross disaster kitchen must be like, either that or I'm just a snob!!

Been to Ponderossa many times and find them to be better than the GC I went to but hey this could be this one only. Its all life experiences!!

We have decided to also see the "Outta Control Dinner Show". From what I have read, we are probably better off buying the tickets beforehand so I was looking to order them.
themeparkticketsdirect have them for £14 and £10 which seems pretty good.

Anyone have any experience of this company?
Any advice on the show would be good also.

Its nice and cheap but the last (and only) time I went the plates were plastic and it looked like a soup kitchen so its not for me.

BUT many people rave about them so for the cost at least give it a shot

Also we are staying at the Caribbean Beach and have read that there is a convineance store?!? If so what items does it sell ? Coffee, milk, etc

Thanks Clare x

I've not visited the Caribbean beach since 2005 so my info is not what you may call current but I can give you an idea of what's in the shop. It's mostly Disney T Shirts, towels, cuddly toys etc but there is a small section with things like:

Doughnuts
Cookies
Milk
Chips (Crisps to us)
Bagged Pretzels
Candy (Sweets)
Soft drinks
Beer
Juice
Cakes
Painkillers

DH thinks there may have been some frozen ready meals too (but I'm not sure he's right)


Housekeeping should give you coffee for your coffee machine (in your room) for free.

CBR is a really pretty resort (though it is rather big so room location is important)

DD & DH got sunburned last year in April at a waterpark, despite using SPF30 (waterproof) :eek:.
I'd say, especially for children, you'd be safer with SPF50 for waterparks and SPF30+ on other days.

Totally agree with Jackie. Especially in the summer!!

I have used SPF 15 but that was in December. In August I use 50
