So after much anticipation and planning and hoping rumors were true, I finally booked our Fall Free Dining trip!
We will be spending 10days/9nights at All Star Sports with Free Dining. We upgraded to Regular Dining plan!
The last time we did Free Dining was in 2012 and one thing I ended up hating was all the traveling we would have to do go from park to park or park to resort to get to our reservation. For me, I felt that we wasted so much time traveling, that this trip I told hubby we are NOT leaving the park unless it’s to a resort that’s very close by!
We will have our two boys, on will turn 7 during our trip (This is his Birthday gift) and our other son will be 21 months at the time of the trip. Which means we will have a stroller and diaper bag etc. I don’t want to fuss too much traveling. So based on the park we will be that day here are our reservations for our trip. I will put which are a first time for us and which we have done prior.
We are planning on arriving late afternoon, early evening on 10/3 so we will eat something from the food court that evening. Maybe I will make a run to DTD and pick up Wolfgang Pucks to go! We did this last trip a few times - since we had sick kiddos, and it worked out great!

As always – we try very hard to make MK our first park! This morning we will have Breakfast at Crystal Palace at 9:25am! I love Winnie the Pooh – so I am excited about this! We have eaten here before, and enjoy their breakfast. My older son may not be too thrilled – he is not a fan of Pooh – but hopefully my one year old will be!
For dinner we have a reservation at Liberty Tree Tavern at 7:50pm. We have never eaten here and I am excited to try it out. My husband is SUPER excited about this place! For those that have eaten here, I know it’s served Family Style, but what about the kids food? Is that also served family style for my son ? Will he be allowed to ask for more if he wants?
10/5
Today we will be spending the day at DHS! Another first for us will be Hollywood & Vine! I am super excited about this one. My one year old LOVES Jake! So this is going to be a great one for him! My older boy also “likes” Jake so it should be a good one.
10/6
Today will be our Epcot Day! We love Epcot! Love doing the KidCot stations all around the world showcase! Tonight we will be having an Italian feast at Tutto at 5:15! We ate here before and loved it! I’m hoping to then get a good spot for Illuminations.
10/7
Animal Kingdom here we come! This is the only day we will spend in AK so we are planning to get there as early as we can. We had the Yak & Yeti couter service on our last trip & LOVED it! SO this time we are doing the TS! Yak and Yeti reservation at 4:15. I really wish they would leave AK opened till later. I do understand they do it due to the Animals, but it would be nice!
10/8
Back to MK! This is our 2nd of three MK days! We currently have a reservation at Tonys’ Town Square at 6:25 . This will be a first for us! We honestly have stayed away due to reviews…however I want to give it a try! So why not! I may change this reservation to a bit earlier if I can book the Dessert Party J
10/9
Back to Epcot we go!! And yet another Italian Feast at Via Napoli at 7pm !! We have never eaten here before. We really looked at Menus around the World…and Italy is where we will all be happy with the food! J

Today by big boy will turn 7!!! We asked him where he wants to spend his birthday and he chose DHS! So DHS it is! I went over the restaurant choices with him and he chose Sci-Fi at 5:20. He also LOVES Fantasmic – so this is a must for us!
10/11
Our last full day will be spent at MK! Today will be the one day we will venture out of the park for food! We will be heading over to have breakfast at “Ohana at 9:30! I cannot wait!! I am super excited about this! We have NEVER eaten here and I am so happy I was able to find a reservation! If available we may do the dessert party if we can’t get it for another night.
