I went to the Cinderella restaurant when i was like that age. You don't have to dress up. I sure didn't. I just enjoyed a lovely dinner with my family and took pics with Cinderella without the crazy wait at the park if you spot them. I am glad I went seeing the view from up top is so worth it and the food was so yummy!

LOL next time I go I'll have to sport one too!

We got the meal plan one time, and wouldn't do it again. If you're the type that goes to expensive restaurants, then it's worth it, but we really don't eat like that. Our kids were young, and we found ourselves going out of our way to try to use up the money. Maybe now that they're older it would make more sense. I just remember the kid's meals at the Living Seas aquarium, with the canned corn and goldfish crackers, thought it was expensive for what it was.

But, definitely go to the outlet! The one that's closest to Downtown Disney is really good, but sometimes there are lines to get inside. One of the SA's told me it's usually that way in the beginning of the week (and of course, we went on Easter Sunday, the whole place was a zoo). Have fun, and most importantly, report back on what you find!

Thanks, Toto. We went back and forth w/the meal plan thing, and just decided to do it. My husband and daughter are real foodies, me and the little guy not so much, so we'll know better for next time.

Donnalynn, the only way you'll know whether it works for you or not is to try it. We have friends who love the meal plan, and do it every time they go. Our idea of a "going out" is going to Olive Garden, we don't do the fancy restaurant thing too much -- although we always go to RainForest Cafe when we're down there. The nice thing is that we did go to some of the restaurants that I know we'd never go to otherwise, like the Aquarium. We sat right up against the glass, and that was really cool. Make the most of the experience, you'll have a great time!

This outlet mall is one of the busiest outlet malls so just be ready for tons of craziness

. I've walked out too many times without even getting past the greeter b/c there were just too many people. I'd suggest an early morning visit (like the moment they open) b/c a late night visit would have limited items.

There is also an outlet on International Dr. They have built a new outlet there and I know Coach has moved from their old location to this new section.
