My daughter and I just did this package this past week. We ate at Tony's at noon. We each had a different salad as an appetizer, both were very good. I had the shrimp scampi and DD had a triple entree option that she enjoyed. For dessert, she had a chocolate cake and I raspberry sorbet. Both were good. We were pleasantly surprised by the food.
Our parade time was at 3:00 p.m. The day of our package there was rain that moved through around 2:00. We reported to the flag pole area around 2:30. There is a sidewalk around the outer edge of the area around the flagpole. You may sit or stand on the sidewalk to watch the parade. We put our ponchos on the ground to sit on to watch the parade. Due to the rain, the temp was in the 70s and the sky was overcast. This made for a lovely and comfortable parade viewing. A couple of days later it was sunny and the temp was in the 90s with a heat index of 105. DD and I both commented that it would not have as pleasant to view the parade in that location under those conditions. Cast members did an excellent job of making sure that only those with dining packages were allowed in the area.
