Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Yeah, especially if you're going to be dining at sit down restaurants. You'd spend more than that on burgers and fries probably.

Originally Posted By smedley Doo-Dah I would speak to someone in group reservations if I were you, seems to me that a group of 30 would struggle to book dining reservations at a lot of the restaurants? You book 180 days out, but most of the places you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance with no penalty
