Here is what what I would like to do for meals. It is strange having to wait so long to book them though. I hope I can get all the reservations.
Cool news, Marcus will be free at the buffets and dinner packages too! I love him being 2!!

Friday:
Dinner: Goofy's Kitchen
cost: $59 per person

Saturday:
Breakfast: Bars and Fruit we bring

Lunch: Tiki Bar at our hotel
Then we nap at our hotel.

Dinner: Fantasmic package: Blue Bayou Restaurant
Cost: $69

Sunday:
Breakfast: Bars and Fruit we bring

Lunch: Storytellers Weekend Character Brunch Buffet
Cost: $39
Then we nap at our hotel.

Dinner: Paint the Night Parade Dining Packages Wine Country Trattoria
Cost $49

Monday:
Breakfast: Donald Duck's Seaside Breakfast at Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel
Cost: $34


So what do you guys think of this meal plan? It is heavy character meals but that is so we don't have to wait in lines with a 2 year old to meet the characters. I am hoping he won't be scared of them. He has met Sesame St characters and he loved them from a distance but when that got close he would cling, but not out right scream or cry. Just be shy. Also I like the packages for Fantasmic and Paint the night so we are not waiting around a long time with a 2 year old. Also we have naps planned after our lunches so that just help with a 2 year old.

Paint the Night Dining Package – Sonoma Terrace Reception vs Wine Country Trattoria
- I am not sure wich one we should do? We prefer seats, so sonoma looks better but we want a real meal so Wine Country looks better. Thoughts?
