It’s amazing how traveling to new places truly broadens your horizons, and expands your knowledge. Not just of worldly events but geographical ones as well. We loved spending a month in Japan traveling from Hiroshima to Kyoto to Tokyo. While we are not suggesting, by any means, that visiting the Japan Pavilion at Walt Disney World compares to visiting...
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...
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....
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...
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. What was that I said about...
The Boulangerie Patisserie at Epcot in the World Showcase is always a must stop visit when going to Walt Disney World. It is a delightfully sweet way to break up adventures, plus give in to your sweet tooth. The Patisserie is loaded with quiche, croissants, turnovers, cakes, cookies, pies, tarts, baguettes, macarons and more, and staffed with adorable garçons...
We were so excited to find this dairy free, egg free, gluten free, soy free and certified kosher bakery at Disney Springs. Even though our family doesn't have any of these specific allergies as a life threatening condition, most of the above allergens are allergenic due to the fact that they are loaded with glyphosate residue from pesticide and...
We’ve stayed at every type of resort Disney has to offer. And while we’ve mostly enjoyed our stays, we can, and will, and want to, freely admit that some visits have been more magical than others. The value resorts at Walt Disney World are catered towards families on a budget, which is hilarious considering the nightly price tag, and...
When Walt Disney World opened up the new Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom, complete with the Beast’s castle at the top of a hill overlooking Belle’s quaint village below, they ingeniously included Gaston’s Tavern. A manly establishment fitted with huge leather chairs, bear skins and deer heads covering the walls, and meats on the menu. It is the epitome of...
