Christine to book the 4 reservations below ยท Everything else is quick service
Casual quick service. Everyone arrives at different times โ grab food when ready. No reservation, no stress.
Flower & Garden Festival food booths and World Showcase options. Walk up and order โ no planning needed.
Buffet with live oompah band. Great for allergies, fun for kids and the whole group. Chef walks allergy-safe options.
Legendary buffet spread. Chef walks through the allergy-safe options. Short walk or shuttle from Kidani.
Legendary bread service + savanna views. Zero travel from the pool. Best restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Pecos Bill, Columbia Harbour House, or Pinocchio Village Haus. No reservation needed.
Character buffet with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet & Eeyore! Kids refreshed after mid-day break โ perfect timing. ๐
Docking Bay 7, Ronto Roasters, or Woody's Lunch Box. May the 4th vibes only. No reservation needed.
Back at the resort after the park. Sanaa if you want a sit-down; The Mara if everyone's casual and tired.
Casual send-off breakfast before departure. No reservation. Grab and go, happy memories.
Disney excels at allergy accommodation. Note egg and dairy restrictions on every reservation.
At Biergarten, Boma, Crystal Palace, and Sanaa โ a chef will walk the line with you and identify every safe option. Best format for allergy management.
The chef consults directly at your table and will prepare allergy-safe versions. Disney takes this seriously โ they're excellent at it.
All three parks have allergy menus available โ just ask any Cast Member. No need to plan ahead, just mention it when you order.
Mark egg and dairy restrictions on every reservation in My Disney Experience. This flags the kitchen ahead of time, even before you arrive.
Jolie arrives from the West Coast (3 hours behind). Her body clock will have her waking ~8:30โ9 AM Eastern and napping ~2:30โ3 PM Eastern for the first few days. All park arrivals are built around a 10 AM start โ no dragging sleepy toddlers out of bed.
Take Disney buses from Kidani to every park. Do NOT drive to Magic Kingdom โ it requires a monorail or ferry transfer at the TTC and adds 30+ minutes. Buses drop you right at the entrance.
Every park has a Baby Care Center with private nursing rooms, changing tables, high chairs, and basic supplies (diapers, wipes, formula, baby food). EPCOT's is near the Odyssey building between World Celebration and World Showcase.
Book your first LL as early as possible. After tapping in, you can immediately book one more. Same-day priorities: Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Space Mountain (Rider Switch), Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean.
One adult waits with the kids in a holding area. Others ride (via LL or standby). The waiting adult then gets a Rider Switch pass โ skips the line through the LL entrance and can bring 2 others. Ben and Rachel can both ride Space Mountain AND Tiana's.
Return to Kidani around 2โ4 PM every park day. It's the hottest window, waits are longest, and both kids need downtime. Parks are open late โ you'll come back refreshed and catch the evening magic. Don't skip the break.
