One of the things that first made me fall in love with the Animal Kingdom Lodge was a wonderful meal at Jiko several years ago. However, since that time, it just hasn’t worked out to head back and try it again. When planning for our most recent trip, my wife and I wanted to make…

Is the Disney Dining Plan Worth It?
It’s the age old question-is the Disney Dining Plan worth it? The answer is not simple. Every family is different, every budget is different, and every eater is different. Recently, we went over how to actually use the Disney Dining Plan, but today, we’re going to take a look at the value behind it. Now,…
A Vegetarian Review of the Skipper Canteen
As someone who is fortunate to be able to travel fairly often to Walt Disney World, I have the opportunity to catch things I have missed, try new and exciting additions, and more. However, I generally do the exact opposite and just go back to my old favorites time and time again (see my collection…
Sunday Brunch at Maria and Enzo’s at Disney Springs
Looking for brunch at the Walt Disney World Resort? I recently made a visit to Disney Springs to check out the Sunday brunch offerings at Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante. This was my first time and I was excited to try it! With so many new restaurants opening at Disney Springs recently, it took me a…
Review of the Frozen Ever After Dessert Party

Whispering Canyon – A Gluten Free Review
I had the wonderful opportunity to dine at Whispering Canyon recently. I wanted to try this restaurant for a while.When there was some news that they may have toned down the antics they were known for, I was worried I missed something by not getting there sooner.

Walt Disney World Vegetarian Dining for $33 a Day – Disney’s Hollywood Studios Edition
One of the most memorable aspects of any Disney trip is the food. We book our dining 6 months in advance and threaten to riot if our favorite menu item disappears. As Disney fans, we love food. But here at The Mouse for Less we also love saving on our trips, and food is a…
Foodie Friday: Review of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge’s Geyser Point Bar & Grill
One of my favorite “newer” restaurants that the Walt Disney World Resort has introduced is Geyser Point Bar & Grill. Situated along the shores of Bay Lake at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, this peaceful bar/lounge area is a nice respite for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Magic Kingdom while…

One of the great perks of staying at a Walt Disney World Resort (or technically visiting any Walt Disney World Resort) is the ability to purchase Refillable Mugs. These handy hard plastic mug can be found at all Walt Disney World resort hotels and each mug contains an RFID (radio frequency identification) chip in the…
Epcot International Festival of the Holidays: Festive Eats – Part Two
Welcome back for Part Two of my holiday trip around the world. One observation I have made from this event so far is that with only 11 outdoor kitchens, Epcot International Festival of the Holidays is very manageable in one day if that is all the time you have. This sort of undertaking would be…
Epcot International Festival of the Holidays: Festive Eats – Part One
The holidays are in full swing at Walt Disney World – Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM, gingerbread houses, cookies…and the Epcot Festival of the Holidays.
