    You've done totally the right thing in paying a little more to stay in a Deluxe as you get a much better Dining Plan :)

    You're right about the ADRs, and on that date you can book for ten days' worth.

    You can use the Dining plan vouchers in most Downtown locations - which ones do you have in mind and I'll link you to where it'll tell you for sure (Allears net is my favourite place)

    My DD LOVES Minnie, even though she is ten now her favourite is still Minne :D

    Thanks again KarenG! Also made a note of disney-cjd's suggestions for Little Einsteins & Jojo's Circus! Starting to get a list together! Just had a quick look at Allears net website! Never knew any of these websites existed! Going to have to seriously get my planning head on and maybe draw up some sort of itinerary! Anywhere in particular you would recommend to eat in DTD?? I have never been there so I've got no ideas in mind but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all your help fellow Disney lovers!:A

    My advice -

    Forget the itinerary, its a stupid idea dreamt up by those who have already been to Disney and who thinks you should holiday like a robot. You have no idea how long the parks are going to take, what the weather will be like etc.

    What i tend to do is know where i want to go then do it. Throw in a few days at the beach to relax and leave the last day for shopping.

    Although i tend to get to the parks first thing, then after lunch go to the water parks - Because of the time of year i go i can do most parks in a half a day, i know you probably will be surprised but you can literally walk the entire way around the Magic Kingdom without stopping in 20 mins, probably less. The parks aren't as big as you may think.

    Sturll, I'm sorry but there is just no way you can walk around the MK (or any park) without stopping in 20 minutes..... ! :p

    As an example of the size of a park, Epcot's World Showcase (which is only half of the park!) is 1.2 miles to walk around the lake.

    Head to Clearwater - There is a seafood restaurant right on the harbour (cant for the life in me remember the name) And they sell Seafood caught that day. You see them literally bringing it out the boat and into the restaurant.

    Frenchy's?

    There are loads of nice seafood restaurants in Clearwater.

    Hi All


    however we are going from the 3rd - 15th sept can any one tell me what the the weather will be like and how busy are the parks.

    In a nutshell, the parks will be pretty quiet at this time of year and the weather will be pretty hot.

    Of course you can - Easily.

    Epcot is different - We both know that.

    I accept a sprinter could leg it around an empty park in twenty minutes in cold weather (not that they'd see or do anything ;) ) but what would be the point?

    Karen think about it, you go up USA street (or whatever its is) round through future land, then miss Mickey and go straight to Its a small world and then through the Wild West thing, to Pirates of the Caribbean, then to USA street.

    Done.

    Probably 15 mins when i think about it.
