The last time I stayed at the Polynesian Village Resort was in June 2014, during a massive renovation to the property. Captain Cook’s, the quick service location at this resort, was temporarily moved to the Cast Member cafeteria. So when I returned to the Poly this January, I was excited to try out Captain Cook’s…

My Favorite Healthy Snack Spots in Walt Disney World
As much as I love a scoop of chocolate gelato or a brownie drizzles with buttery caramel, sometimes I’m looking for a lighter and more nutritious snack while on a Walt Disney World vacation. While healthy snacks used to be hard to find at The World, they’re becoming more and more available, which is definitely…
Foodie Friday: Walt Disney World Snack Spotlight Red Velvet Whoopie Pie
On one of my more recent trips to Walt Disney World, I was visiting Sunshine Seasons, grabbing a delicious meal, but I was really having a sweets craving. So, I went over to the bakery counter to take a peek at the offerings. But first let’s back up and talk a little bit about Sunshine…
Portable Snacks to Save Money at Disney Theme Parks
Being a Disney-regular, I’ve tried just about every snack at the parks. While there’s nothing like a Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar or a fresh churro, sometimes packing snacks to bring into the parks is a good idea. Whether you’re trying to save money (unless you’re using snack credits on the Disney Dining Plan, snacks…
Foodie Friday: Mobile Ordering Now Available for Guests With Disney Dining Plans
One of my favorite things that the Walt Disney World Resort has recently rolled out has been the Mobile Ordering Service. It has been an incredible option that I have taken advantage of on many different occasions. Matter of fact, I was among the first people to try Mobile Ordering when it debuted at Satu’li…
Foodie Friday: Breakfast Review of Ale & Compass
You all may remember that one of my sleeper favorite places for breakfast at Walt Disney World was the former Captain’s Grille. So, I’ll admit, that I was one of the few that wasn’t super excited about the refurbishment that was taking place earlier this year. I knew with the name change that the…
Why I Still Love Sanaa
Even as someone fortunate to travel to Walt Disney World fairly regularly, the rate of new restaurants opening and sheer number of dining opportunities across the resort make it difficult to decide which places to go. It always seems like you can’t possibly fit in and try everything you would like to. Even in that…
Walt Disney World Character Meals Ranked
Character meals are an essential part of the Walt Disney World experience for many families. With the number and variety of character meals now available, and the high cost of each one, you have to make difficult choices. In this post, I rank each of the character meals at the Walt Disney World resorts and…
A Vegetarian Review of the Satu’li Canteen
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been the focus of a lot of excitement recently. With extended hours, new evening experiences, and a new nighttime spectacular, there was plenty of reason to get amped up for a visit before even thinking about the new land. That new land, Pandora: The World of Avatar, has added so much…
Foodie Friday: Review of Maria & Enzo’s at Disney Springs
This past weekend, I was in Walt Disney World for marathon weekend, but it also just so happened to be opening weekend for a brand new restaurant at Disney Springs, Maria & Enzo’s. The restaurant is connected to the recently opened Pizza Ponte and is part of The Edison complex. As the story goes, Maria…
Lunch at Le Cellier at Epcot
Le Cellier Steakhouse has been on my Disney bucket list for years. Reservations are sometimes hard to come by, so even though I wanted to, I never seemed to get around to trying it. On a recent visit to Epcot, however, I decided it was finally time to stop by the Canada pavilion and give…
A Review of Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Tea Room
I recently took a trip to the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa for afternoon tea at the Garden View Tea Room, something that has been on my Disney bucket list for years. Being a lover of tea and scones, I was sure this would be an experience I would love! I decided to bring my…
