Walking around Animal Kingdom can make you pretty hungry sometimes! All of those trails and safaris can make you really want a bite to eat. Counter service can be pretty helpful but sometimes you need a sit down meal to really get your energy up for another trek through the park. My favorite place…

It’s all about the FOOD at Walt Disney World
The Boardwalk Recreation Area
If you have an evening to spend at Disney World but you don’t want to go to a park and fight the crowds, a fun place to stop is the Boardwalk. The boardwalk has fun shopping and dining opportunities you don’t need to use a park ticket. Enjoy a good meal at the many dining…
Beaches and Cream
The Yacht and Beach Club Resort has always been one of my favorite places to stay at Walt Disney World. The décor and the rooms are always so bright and open and inviting. The gardens are always spectacular, and, of course, they have the best pool. After a day in the Florida sun those pools…
The Wine Walk at World Showcase
There’s nothing finer than a leisurely stroll around World Showcase at dusk. What could possibly make that better? Well, wine of course! A hidden treasure at World Showcase is the Wine Walk. This is an opportunity to sample a variety of wines from several countries at a minimal price. Wine lovers, rejoice! To begin your…
Garden View Tea at The Grand Floridian
The Tea at the Garden View Lounge at the Grand Floridian Resort is something that I’ve always loved. Being able to be at this fancy Victorian style tea, but also to be able to take one ride on the monorail and be having fun at the Magic Kingdom in minutes was always something I looked…
Walt Disney World Resort Food Courts
Sometimes I hear people lament how there is a lack of table service restaurants at the Disney Value Resorts and some of the Disney Moderate Resorts. I used to be one of them because when I travel with my kids, I would rather the food be brought to me instead of me having to get…
Disney Seasonal Secrets!
Autumn—the weather is cooler, the leaves are changing, pumpkin flavored everything is in season. Even Winnie the Pooh is quoted saying “Autumn! A time of hot chocolatety mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, and best of all, leaping into LEAVES!” All in all, Autumn is a beautiful time of year. But the question is, does this…
The Boma Experience
On a recent trip, my family decided we wanted to have a special dinner together. We were, however, without a car and not really looking for a long walk. As we had no Advance Dining Reservations (going to a table-service restaurant was a spur of the moment choice), our selections were limited in the parks….
Disney Must-Haves…
In the past I have shared my strange obsession of taking home meaningless merchandise (and I use that term loosely!) from my Walt Disney World Resort vacations. Stray napkins, unused fast-passes, maps – you name it, I bring it home. So yes, it’s weird but beyond them are some other things that are on my…
A Disney Vacation with the Quick Service Dining Plan
About once a year, our family heads south to vacation in Florida at Walt Disney World. The exciting rides, unique shows, and enchanting atmosphere appeal to each member of our family. When free dining becomes available, we simply cannot resist this magical destination. In past years, we enjoyed the full service dining plan which included…
Staying Healthy at Disney
There is nothing more frustrating than arriving at the Happiest Place on Earth, and spending most of your vacation sick in bed. This has probably happened to most of us at one time or another and is not much fun for anybody. I know it’s happened to us before and over the years we have…
Eating Disney-style at home
I don’t know about you, but there is something to be said about dining at the Walt Disney World Resort. I enjoy dining almost as much as I enjoy riding the rides in the parks. Of course for me, it is largely due to the fact that I come from a family that loves to…
