Just a kid at heart. I'm 45 and going to college to be a chef. I hope one day to work at DL or DCA as a chef. I have been a preschool teacher for almost 13 years but now I'm the preschools chef. My 3 kids love Disney just as much as I do.

Can you guys tell me please where the most romantic place to eat would be at the Disney resort? I have an anniversary coming up and would love to take my hubby there.
Probally Blue Bayou. Its the restaurant you see at the beginning of Pirates Of The Carribean. There is also Club 33, but it's a private club and you have to know someone to get in. - ScooterMike1959.8 #37 2-22-12 7:25AMLike Reply

We have 1premium pass so parking is free. We take a lunch and leave it in the car so we can get a break from the crowds. And we take a small snack and water in with us.

We buy the Vitawaters at Walmart or Target for only $1 each (they're $3.50 in the parks) and freeze them over night. We also stop at Subway and buy $5 footlongs on our way to DL. This saves us from having to buy lunch in the parks. For dinner we'll usually have a Corndog, because that's the one thing we can't resist! - 4Toucans7.6 #7997 10-22-11 6:26PMLike Reply

I think Disneyland is what I wish the outside world was like. A slower pace of life. Time to smell the roses. Time to sit and people watch. Time to walk up and down the street window shopping. Time to stand in line for awhile for some excitment. It is clean, beautiful, peaceful, and exciting.
