Haven't been to DLR so can't advise either way, but your choices sound great based on what I've read!

sounds great! have fun! And when you go to Vegas, try Serendipity 3. It's in front of Caesar's Palace and it is so yummy and fun. The frozen hot chocolate was delish!

plans!

Looks good! There are some good CS places, too - check out the pier at DCA. If you are looking for a not-too-expensive TS, then you can also look at Wine Country Trattoria - it's our fave at DCA. It's pretty easy to get a last minute ressie that morning...

I've had enjoyable meals at all your choices, except for Ariel's which I've yet to try.
If you are around the pool at lunch time or decide on a light dinner, White Water Snacks has delicious salads and sandwiches plus a few grill items. We even leave CA, as the counter food lines can be very long there, to have a relaxing meal away from the hustle and bustle of the park.

Your plans sound great to me.

Just a note - July 4 is one of the busiest days all year. You should go into the park early so you can "save your space" at the parks. If DL gets filled to capacity, they won't let any new people in, but if you have your hand stamp from earlier you will be let in. It often fills to capacity before noon, because people want to see the fireworks. DL also just opened up a new family style outdoor BBQ and Show that sounds like fun. You might want to check that out.

Looks fine to me. You can order a mini cake and other goodies for her birthday that will be presented at her dinner at Ariel's. Make sure you have your birthday buttons on so the staff know you are celebrating a birthday.

On the third how about doing DCA that day and have lunch at Taste Pilot's Grill for super duper deluxe cheddarburgers. Blue cheese one is not so great as the chesse is too strong for most people. Dinner at Napa Rose, Storytellers, Hooks Pointe, or do Goofy's Kitchen dinner.

Remember that with your on-site stay at a hotel you can pop in and out of the Grand Californian Hotel from DCA.

The fourth I would do Pizza Port, Rancho Zocalo or Celebration Barbecue. An option is to take the monorail in the rear cab to the Rainforest Cafe or even the hotel for dinner. Jazz Kitchen has fine food to eat from po boy sandwiches and beignets to fine new style cuisine.

Where d you want to celebrate your birthday? Goofy's Kitchen sounds great and they have characters and fun and lots of food. Your husband can arrange delivery of a special birthday cake and other party stuff. For an adult meal I like Hooks Point and Napa Rose.
