Beating the Heat in Orlando with Shave Ice in Japan: Family Review of Kabuki Cafe in Epcot, Walt Disney World
Catherine - 0
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...

Biergarten Restaurant: Family Restaurant Review in Walt Disney World, Epcot, World Showcase, Orlando, Florida, USA
Catherine - 2
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...

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....
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!

Taste Testing Iconic Key Lime Pie in Key West, Florida with Kids | Where the Key Limes are Even Greener than the Grass
Catherine - 0
Let’s just start with the obvious cliché: No stop in Key West, Florida is complete without Key Lime Pie. We knew we had to have to it, we wanted it, and we bought it.
Ah, but where to buy it? Not one bakery seems to have an actual claim to possessing the original, or the first, Key Lime Pie...

Family Bike Riding in Key West, Florida | A Little Slice of the Caribbean in the Florida Archipelago
Catherine - 0
Who knew that Key West was a little slice of the Caribbean just 3 hours southwest of Miami? It makes sense considering it is an island in the middle of the ocean, but I never figured it was covered in pastel painted victorian era style homes, towering mahogany trees lining the sidewalks and boulevards, and friendly pedestrian and bicycle...

Catherine - 0
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...

Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel Hyatt Place Lake Buena Vista | The Case for Staying Off Property During Your Trip to Walt Disney World
Catherine - 0
We’ve been visiting Walt Disney World annually since 2010, and in all those years we’ve never once stayed off property. When you stay on property, the magic begins the second you step off the plane into the Orlando airport. Mickey and his Magical Express picks you up and whisks you away to your resort. You stay on a magical...

Catherine - 2
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...
Dolphins, Sharks and Manatees, oh my! We joined the Time and Tide Tours in Port Canaveral prior to our sailing on the Disney Fantasy and it was an awesome way to learn about the port and the history of the area. We got to go fishing, see and hold aquatic wildlife, and watch a pod of dolphins swim in...
