The Polite Pig located in Downtown Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida offers a swath of barbeque menu selections with a Disney price tag, and a serious lack of portion sizes. Politely put, the food here is hit and miss. If we had originally reviewed The Polite Pig after our first visit, we actually would have ranked this Disney Springs...

Catherine - 0
Cinderella's Royal Table Restaurant is actually inside Cinderella’s castle! Instead of walking underneath the castle and out the other side, you are beckoned into the inner sanctum where the servants pull out the red carpet, literally. You’re immediately whisked into the Royal Throne room where you are presented before Cinderella. Of course you get to meet and talk with...

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...

Catherine - 0
One does not simply go to Atlanta and skip the Varsity. The Varsity is an icon, a celebration, a landmark and an institution. It also serves up some boiled hot dogs, chili and their trademark orange drink to boot. And while maybe that might not sound like much, the Varsity is Atlanta defined. For as long as Gabriel can...
On day two of our family trip to Arches National Park with kids, we hiked one of the best hikes in Arches National Park: The complete 4 mile roundtrip trek to Delicate Arch! We didn't intend to do this from the get go, but nightly thunderstorms contributed to flash flooding throughout Arches, and as a consequence many areas of...

Kona Cafe: Family Restaurant Review in Walt Disney World, Polynesian Resort, Orlando, Florida
Catherine - 0
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....
