When it comes to Magic Kingdom dining, there isn’t a great selection anywhere. Be Our Guest is the only standout restaurant, and while Gaston’s Tavern used to be a solid second choice, they eliminated the pork shank there making it less than a snack stop. Your other choices boil down to a mexican salad bar, or pizza. For quick...
Animal Kingdom is one of Disney’s deluxe hotel resorts and truly no expense is spared. From a grand entrance lobby with ornate architecture and art, to incredible Animal Kingdom Lodge Restaurants serving authentic African food, to an actual safari on hotel grounds with views of animals outside guest rooms.
We had an incredible experience staying at the Jambo House in...
Pandora is the newest addition to Disney’s Animal Kingdom located directly to the west of the entrance. This venture has been six years in the making, with construction ongoing for the past three years. Officially open to the public in May of this year, park goers are presented with a land wholly devoted to a movie that was released...
Our journey to discover the best Disneyland in the world has been a magical one. A journey that has taken us from the snow capped mountains of the Matterhorn to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. We've traveled over 23,000 miles, over a span of five years, to be able to pronounce: Mickey Accomplished!
Our family has celebrated, rejoiced and played...
Frau Weiting, my high school German teacher would have been so proud of me conversing with and enjoying the ambiance of the small replica of Germany, in Epcot, at Walt Disney World! This small version of Germany seemed to be a direct transplant from the country in Europe. We've yet to visit this specific country, but surely it's accurate...
Our favorite buffet at Walt Disney World continues to reign supreme at Boma - Flavors of Africa located in the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo House. This is not an ordinary buffet. It is authentic and exciting with foods from all over the continent of Africa. This buffet offers a wide selection of delicious vegetarian, fish and meat dishes served...
After seven annual family trips to play at Walt Disney World, we finally made our way to the Disney Water Parks! It was something we’d always wanted to do, but couldn’t quite squeeze in amidst all the theme park fun we were having. The parks opened at 10 am and closed at 5 pm. We figured we could start...
The Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World is incredible, to say the least. One can only expect the same from any restaurant housed within the perimeter. The Kona Cafe is a simple restaurant, without much styling or motif, but the food is worthy enough to bring us back again and again. We’ve now dined at the Kona Cafe twice....
Even the giraffes peeking through the floor to ceiling domed windows will be eyeing your food enviously at Sanaa, where Africa meets India to create lavish and aromatic dishes sure to please even the most tepid traveler.
Sanaa integrates all the flavors you’ll find at the Animal Kingdom into one. From the far Eastern borders of Mongolia in Asia,...
It’s no secret we love Halloween. It was my Grandmother’s favorite holiday, and she passed on her love for it to me. Our family copied her idea for a black Halloween tree with eyeballs for ornaments, a papier-mâché undead bride sits on our mantle, we’ve already made festive cupcakes with blood spilling out of them, and we have spiderwebs completely...
