It might be worth mentioning that whilst we were there they kindly cooked our kids some chicken strips as they weren’t eating much else. It didn’t seem to be a drama so it may be that they do regularly cook basic additions for people. Fwiw I wouldn’t consider it particularly exotic

Character breakfast at GF was excellent and it was nice to see inside the beautiful hotel. Place like Bouma and Skipper canteen are a good idea as the food is very unique and tasty. We loved Garden Grill for both the food and setting. Crystal Palace was spectacular largely because of how...

As someone who uses the DDP I think that sounds like good value for a quick service credit-particularly if it come with a drink. Is a shame it’s not valid for lunch as we have our larger meal in the early afternoon

Our family loved the COP. I actually had it as my alarm to wake me up for a few months-certainly got me out of bed early for work!!!

It worked well last time and to be honest the idea came from reading tips posted on here so I owe the forum one. We took the advice of starting the FP bookings after about 11am and we basically never waited more than 20ish minutes for a ride. I hope it wasn’t a fluke which goes wrong next year!

Booked for August 2020 as it’s the only realistic time for us to go bearing in mind school and travelling from UK. We’ll be there towards the end of August so the crowds should hopefully be not too bad. We previously found the timing worked well as I believe US schools are back. The heat...

Is it the case that characters only appear at Cape May for breakfast and not dinner?

After much debate Beach Club is now booked so thank you for the advice above. We decided to do a week cruise immediately prior which will give a bit of variation and hopefully work well. Now it’s just a question of putting it to the back of my mind so I’m not constantly distracted by the...

Sci-fi Diner might be a good idea. Our kids loved sitting in the cars

Our son was 3 (very nearly 4) when we battled around the lake a few times prior to breakfast one morning near the Boardwalk Hotel

Hi, the kids will be 10 & very nearly 6. Our oldest is ok at walking. To put it in perspective last time we had a late breakfast at Trattoria Al Forna, then walked to DHS for the afternoon. She then lasted till after the evening show. Her bother may be a different story! Because we would be...

That sounds like a good deal. We found the buses to be decent. In 2 weeks we had far more walk on trips then we did waits of more than 10-15 minutes. If we were feeling impatient we would get an Uber but they really weren’t expensive

Lots of great advice and opinions so thanks to all

You are correct that with all the options it seems a shame to use the same restaurant too often.

I was actually thinking that if we did end up with a moderate I’d see about trying to upgrade from quick service to standard. Quick service food was fine once per day but I’m not convinced about twice daily over a long stay. Daughter would’ve rated the cheese pizza in the Mara for every meal...

Good shout re WL. I’ve seen a decent price online for there with a TA we used before. I like the idea of the leisure facilities seemingly available within the grounds. The pictures look great too

I quite like the sound of a split stay. I just don’t like the idea of having to repack half way through with 2 kids!

Thanks for pointing out the lack of restaurant at POFQ. It obviously hadn’t twigged with me that the restaurants are at Riverside. For some reason when we booked before it seemed that SS could not be booked as early as other resorts. I’m keen to take advantage of free dining so need to be able...

Hi, With the free dining for 2020 coming out shortly we will most likely book a holiday for August 2020. Our kids will want to got to AKL again but I’d like some advice on other options. Though we loved AKL we found that if we were feeling lazy it was hassle to go out to a non AKL restaurant...

I’d strongly recommend Crystal Palace. Very good food (especially the Steak) and the restaurant is lovely with the sun streaming in through all the glass. Being on the DDP provides good value here
