I guess you and your family enjoy your vacation at Holiday Inn hotel because it offers all the amenities and services of a regular Holiday Inn but consists of rooms mixed with suites.

Hi,
Depending on the menu (they definitley vary from restaurant to restaurant) you should be ok...but we tried to make sure we chose buffet meals when we could for two reasons. 1) the amount of food and selection would be easier ( at a bufet there are "children's" selections but they can chose from the whole buffet; they are not restricted to any specific choices) and 2) most buffets are with characters.
Hope this helps

Can anyone tell me if the childrens dining plan is enough food for a 9 year old who is a big eater?

When we went in 2007 the meal plan was set so if you had 2 adults and 2 children you were allowed a counter service and a table service per person per day...if the child was 9 or under ,I think they had to order from the childs menu selections.  Over 9 was an adult meal plan and the only restrictions were the total amount of meal credits you had for your stay...you could use three counter services in one day if you wanted, but you would be shortof meals by the end of your trip.

Thanks for the reply...it's getting closer now    I know that they do a nightly campfire with Chip and Dale...are there any other characters that show up at the Campground (outside of the Hoop-De-Doo Review or Back Yard Bar-B-Que)??

The average hgih in Orlando in March is 79 degrees. The weather is usually great then although it can be crowded. I recommend that you make dinner reservations ASAP if you plan on eating at any table service restaurants. If you have trouble getting any at the parks try the reorts hotels. There is a great website with loads of info @ www.allearsnet.com that has ratings, opinions and planning info. it is my fave. We are going in mid-March ourselves and are staying at POP. This is our first trip to a value resort we have always stayed at the moderates.  Have a great trip.

The cabins @ FW are nice and there are options nearby aside from a pool. There are nightly campfires, a pettinp area, wagon rides and horseback riding close by( for a fee). Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if the counter service meals on the dining plan are separated into adults and kids? I read somewhere that they were not and another place that they were tracked according to type.  Thank you.
