Much more time is involved by going out to your car--unless you travel by broom stick like we do--and then driving off Disney Property to I Drive before finding the restaurant of your choice. Half the day could be spent driving from Disney property to an off property restaurant as opposed to just walking across the street from Disneyland. We've done both and already know there's a big difference between the two. We think Disney in Florida knows this, too, and they use it to their advantage.

It is by no means easy tp pack up, get to your car drive off property to eat, and then return. It's ok if you are a regular, but for someone that only goes to WDW occasionally, it is just to much of your vacation time to give up.

I still knew when I got off the ride at WDW that they had been short changed.

Out of those three parks, DisneySea has the most sensational food and I'm talking all the way down to the cheap snacks (which are both creative and scrumptious!). Hong Kong comes close though, I'd give both those parks the edge over Epcot.
