Thank you so so much for all the info. I am sorry I haven't been around recently. Very busy organizing stuff. I am sorry to say that after all we decided to go skiing for now but will look into Florida for our summer vacation.
Thanks again.

Wait... that's only about $11 a person, right? You'd pay that anywhere for a meal and drink. In fact, I'd say it's quite reasonable.

Mind you, I've never been to DisneyWorld and I'm just bitter and jealous.

The last thing I'd want to do in Florida during the summer is walk around Disney!

Well then, I guess walking around all day in 100% humidity is better than being abducted by flying monkeys on rollerskates.

But I am sure there are some people who had been there a few times and can give me some good tips as of where to stay and what to see while there.
Please!!! Can you help? I will have a car to get around.
And yes it is to be a holiday on a budget.
Disney is running specials on their package deals,so would check there first.

It wasn't a meal though, it was hot dogs and McDonalds fries and a soda. It was about $7 per person more than it would've been outside Disney.

Last summer, my family and I went to Disneyland Paris.....we stopped for lunch and my husband, daughter and I had a simple lunch. My husband had a half of a roast chicken, daughter had chicken nuggets (although they tasted crap) and I had some weird version of a hot dog/sausage.....simple food, not a sit down, you had to stand in line and wait to order, etc. Our lunch, taking in the exchange rate at the time cost us $100.

Hmm... I see your point. McDonalds fries are cheap as chips normally.

(Lol! What a pun.)
