Our visit to Walt Disney World in 2017 fell in between Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. Orlando broke several heat and humidity records during our visit, and we undeniably felt the heat. The humidity levels were at or above 75% a good portion of every day. We were begging for water at every turn and guzzling ice cream that...
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...
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....
Disney's Animal Kingdom is hands down our favorite park of the entire Disney park system the world over. Animal Kingdom pays homage to the land on which it is built, reverently mimicking the landscapes of the continents which it emulates - so it makes sense that it's the best park Disney has to offer!

We have always been firmly planted in the Earl of Sandwich is our favorite place to eat in Orlando, Florida category. With it’s sweet and tender bread, perfectly seasoned meat, and the Holiday Sandwich to put all other sandwiches to shame, we had no reason to stray. Until we discovered Sofrito Latin Cafe.

You stay on a magical...
Disney offers two themed water parks in Orlando, Florida. Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Typhoon Lagoon is the wreckage left as a result of a typhoon that swept through Florida dislodging and disarming boats, trees, slides, fishing gear, surfboards and the like leaving them where Mother Nature thought best. We’ll just save you the trouble and tell you right...
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...
In all the lands that make up the Disney Universe, Animal Kingdom is our absolute favorite! The immersive environment, the vast storytelling, the natural way Disney incorporates the environment into the theming and narrative, the excellent live shows, the greatest roller coaster, and the best restaurants at Animal Kingdom!
Of course the food!
Yes, this blog post is all about...
As a family who has taken annual vacations to Walt Disney World for the past decade, this weekend I actually asked myself: "Why go to Walt Disney World when I can just stay at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Hotel in Orlando, Florida?" The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort is the vacation. It’s worth repeating: The Hyatt Regency Grand...
