That is good to know. I will ask for that next time my family arrives early. Thanks for the tip.

You are very welcome

I think you'll like POP, we stayed there for the first time a couple of years ago and loved the pictures we took there, especially of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.

Some recommendations about dining:
- Cosmic Rays, Caseys and Pecos Bill are my favorite 3 quick service restaurants in all of the 4 parks. The best part of all three is that they're in Magic Kingdom

- If you're going to watch Illuminations by United Kingdom I recommend getting some fish and chips before the showing.

- Planet Hollywood's time has come and gone in my opinion. The times I've been in there nothing has changed and the food is still the same. I would pass if you've been here at least one time before. I like Wolfgang Puck Cafe Express which is not far from Earl of Sandwich instead. Last time we went there we waited a little long for our food but ended up getting free soups and some bread.

- Can't go wrong with 50's prime time cafe, we always get reservations each trip.

- One thing I noiticed is that you didn't book a reservation for dining at Epcot. You should try LeCelier Steakhouse in the Canada pavilion. Since your trip is in April I would book a reservation anyway since this is the most popular restaurant in Epcot. Even if you change your mind at least it's reserved. Our trip is in December and it's been booked the whole week and I keep hoping for a cancellation.

- In Animal Kingdom I wouldn't go to Flame Tree BBQ. My wife and I were dying to try it when we saw a Disney special on Travel channel because of their ribs. We went there and were terribly disappointed, so I would skip it.

Hope this helps.

I agree about Planet Hollywood. We went a couple of years ago and the food was awful. We always go to the Earl of Sandwich at least once.

For Epcot you could try getting a reservation at England close to the time for Illuminations. They allow you between 60-90 minutes to eat, so you can hang out for Illuminations and not fight the crowds.

Have fun!
