Another beautiful summer's day here in Rotorua, New Zealand :-) 23 C / 73 F ... very little wind or cloud cover either.

We love Park Vue Inn. Great rooms, very comfortable, decent breakfast and the location is fantastic! Plus, a Cold Stone Creamery onsite, where you get 10% discount as a PVI guest :-D

Cup of tea and a slice of homemade banana bread

‘Ohana. We had an awful experience from start to finish at breakfast. We managed to get a full refund in the end, 1 x refund on site and then the rest of the bill via Guest Relations once we got home.

Coffee

Sanaa (that bread service!) Boma Beaches & Cream

Homemade spicy potato wedges! Baked in the oven with no oil, just on baking paper, and eaten with hummus and steamed veggies and Franks Hot Sauce, of course!

We didn't enjoy Pop when we stayed a few years back, and we're not fans of the recent room rehabs, so probably wouldn't return there, but if we were pinched for money, we're still at Disney at the end of the day!

As a couple, we spend about $80/day or less - that will include a Starbucks coffee, cookie from a bakery etc., QS lunch and dinner outside DLR, such as at The Pizza Press.

Peanut Butter M&M's. The devils food they're so addictive!

30-40-minutes on the bike (12-15 km) or 15-mins in the car (12 km) one-way. I definitely feel lucky to have a short and pleasant commute each day as I used to drive 1-hour one-way in my previous job (29 km) and that wasn't much fun.

Personally, I would say walking distance is preferable as you'll be able to get into the parks quicker. But I guess staying further out and taking a bus would be cheaper? We've always booked the hotels directly through the accommodation website, or on Expedia or Booking, whichever is cheapest...

Baked beans on toast with hummus on the toast

Humane meat is an oxymoron.

We've used a Cash Passport through ANZ our last few trips and this has worked out really well, especially with the app that shows an up-to-date balance as soon as you've spent something! You can load it up in the bank with the amount of currency you require and it takes a few days to load onto...

Sounds like a well-deserved trip, kiwigirl! You'll have a blast! My ten cents...we've only visited DLR at Halloween-time, so can only recommend that time of year. However, we've had an amazing experience both times and the crowds have been very manageable. On our first time to DLR we stayed at...

Strategically, we should head to Peter Pan in DL first, but we love the Jungle Cruise and try and make this our first ride, or at least second! In DCA, RSRs or Soarin', and then grab a FP for the other one.

There are delicious elephant ear pastries by an outlet near Kilamajaro Safaris or a Mickey Cinnamon Bun at Creature Comforts (Starbucks).

Boma is awesome! Great atmosphere and a huge selection of delicious hot and cold foods, and Zebra Domes for dessert! These alone are worth going to Boma for!

We went during our October trip. Good food and we enjoyed the service as we're big fans of the Jungle Cruise, however, we found it to be too expensive for what we received, and probably wouldn't return. The falafel and vegetable curry was delicious though and I would recommend that as a solid dish!
