Help!

I%26#39;m feeling under prepared and nervous. Everyone seems so well organised with what to do when, and I am still thinking whether I have enough pairs of shoes.

We are off on 29th March for 14 nights to Orlando. I have the Disney 14 day sorted and have booked a dining experience (not so disorganised after all....?)

We are travelling with our 2 kids (5 %26amp; 8) and mother in law. What should we try to pack in? The little one won%26#39;t manage long days (and neither will we I suspect!), but we do want to make the most of this trip.

Any advice? Which restaurants offer good value for money and cater for the chicken nugget brigade?

Thanks guys

Where will you be staying?

Will you have a car?

Are you just planning on doing Disney? (there is certainly enough if you are)

My favourite wih my Grandchildren is Dennys but thenothers like Golden Corrall were not sorry to say we also use KFC and Macdonalds also Pondaros there all much of a much but Dennys has allways looked after the kids in al the years of visiting .

Packing i leave to my wife lol but layers is someting your need it can be chilly in the evenings.

You have some of the Plan in place, well done

Here is a link to all the Disney Dining ( chicken nuggets can be found all around :) ) Buffets are good value, IMO

I would also check the Park Hours

Make sure you understand and USE the Fast Pass System, it really helps cutting down wait times

Your kids may surprise you and stay up quite late, it happens, it really does happen

Happy Planning :)

Sorry about that post but my Keyboard is missing out letters ,ive given it a strict talking to so hopefully it will behave its self in future.

We are staying in Kissimee and do have a car.

I don%26#39;;t think we will manage much more than the disney resorts. We did think about the Space Centre, but I suspect it will be too much for the little one.

I have taken note of having non-park days, and this may offer the opportunity for shopping. Maybe? :)

shopping or swimming.

Try Old town at night if you have an off day, on Friday and Saturday night at 9pm they have a car cruise and rides all the time.

Everywhere will have chicken strips pretty much, if not nuggets.

Most places do a kids menu which has pizza , chicken strips, burgers and the like. We like Shoneys for good value/ quality. Decent buffet bar + very reasonable mains selection. There are several all over Orlando. More akin to Dennys than Golden Corral/ Ponderosa/ Sizzler which are the cheapest places

Step up from that, but again very reasonable is somewhere like the Olive Garden (Italian).

Also noteworthy , in my book, are places like Chillis %26amp; Tony Romas. Similar sort of price range is Bennigans but haven%26#39;t been to these much really.

Outback is also very good - probably a step up (slightly) over Chillis/ Tony Romas.
