Food's not the highlight of Disney for me...
On our last trip, we decided to make two ADR's for signature dining experiences. (Brown Derby/ Fantasmic and CA Grill.) For the rest of our meals, we ate at CS places. There's so much variety of these that it hardly felt like theme park food at all. We chose to not make ADR's because we didn't want to be tied into a schedule too much. I think I'd follow the same plan next time... select one or two fancy meals and snack my way through the Showcase on other days.) I am lucky enough to live in Philadelphia and be close to New York City so I don't feel the need to eat super fancy meals while in WDW because we splurge when we are at home. The food is good at Disney and I can't blame some families for loving it as much as they do.
I'm so glad that other families eat ice cream for dinner! I felt silly because one night, we ate Dole Whips for dinner! :mickey:
