There may have been some confusion because some are renewing and getting the old price and some people are buying vouchers for new passports (that you have until 12/31/12 to activate) at the old price. I would go with whatever the AP guy said and if you get a discount, consider it a nice surprise. - LaneSparrow316846.9 #108 6-21-12 11:50AMLike Reply

I don't know anything about the Surfsup. But the 15% gratuity is generally when you have a large party. This is common for many eating establishments. I don't know about the time restriction. Seems odd, but like I say... I don't know about Surfsup. - MyPark944.4 #91 2-18-12 11:52AMLike Reply
I would think large party yes it's added but it's only me, my wife, and son. - Cricket 224.1 #1307 2-18-12 12:01PM
I was reading online. This is a buffet. Seems a little pricey. However most reviews I saw were very good. You're going to spend $50 per adult. Seems a little steep for me, especially with the gratuity. I generally tip 10%-12%. For me, a 15% tip would have to be outstanding service. - MyPark 944.4 #91 2-18-12 12:04PM
My sister loves the food there and prefers that one over the others.maybe the time that your reservations are is around the time they stop serving breakfast? And generally we double the tax to figure out the tip. - yellowtonka237.7 #1138 2-18-12 12:21PMLike Reply

Is there a place in the parks u can get a calorie breakdown of foods there?? I wanna stay somewhat true to my diet when I get there.
I haven't been able to find a resource for nutritional info for the Disneyland parks. I usually try to use the nutrition info for food that's very similar to what I'm eating in the parks. It at least keeps me in the right range. And I also try to err on the side of guessing too high just to be safe. - vernswifevickie350.2 #411 9-3-11 12:59PMLike Reply
