A busy, fun-filled day at Disney World arouses my hunger and makes me start searching for a snack. As part of the Disney Dining Plan, guests receive a free snack each day. We have been to Disney six times – five on the Dining Plan – and therefore have eaten a large variety of afternoon treats. …

Don’t Forget the Kitchen Sink!
At dinner this evening, in between excited exclamations of whom was going to be tall enough to ride which rides come June, we decided that we couldn’t forget the Kitchen Sink on this trip. No, not an actual kitchen sink. Considering we travel with four children I sometimes feel like all we left at home…
Everyone’s Favorite Disney Meal
As pretty much everyone knows, everything at Disney is subject to change at any time. There is nothing that this is truer of than the discounts that Disney offers on their vacation packages. In the last few years, Disney has had somewhat of a pattern when it comes to offering their August-October discount. This has…
Bistro De Paris
June 30, 2010 This trip was one where I was crossing things off my “haven’t done” yet list. One of the places which I have been walking by for years is the Bistro de Paris. I’m pretty much a regular at Les Chefs de France and can count on stopping in there for lunchat least…
Quick Service Dining Options at Kidani Village
My family recently had a wonderful stay at Kidani Village, one of the newest Disney Vacation Club resorts next door to Animal Kingdom Lodge. I love the resort, but the quick service dining options were lacking a bit at least for dining plan choices. This would not stop me from staying here again, but I would…
Raglan Road Irish Pub
June 26, 2011 There are not too many places where I have not dined at Disney, and Raglan Road located in Downtown Disney has been one restaurant which did not appeal to me. I’m not a huge fan of British pub food in the traditional sense—Bangers & Mash and Fish & Chips are not for…
All Star Music Family Suite…a photo tour
Many families over four people wonder what resort accommodations are available to them. A few years ago, Disney decided to convert some of the rooms at All Star Music Resort into Family Suites. These suites accommodate 6 people and an infant under 3. The suites have a living area with a sofa that converts…
Via Napoli
The first part of August brought a new restaurant to Epcot. Located in Italy you now have another choice for a table service restaurant called Via Napoli. They’re located at the back of Italy just past their other restaurant, Tutto Italia. As you enter the lobby, you’re able to see directly into the restaurant and…
House of Blues
House of Blues To me, one of Disney’s hidden gems is the House of Blues, located in Downtown Disney’s West Side, under the water tower. In keeping with tradition, the House of Blues Orlando displays the “Crazy Quilt” and keeps a metal box of mud from the Delta Mississippi underneath its stage. I usually don’t…
An Evening at Victoria & Albert’s
I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary at Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. My wife and I dined along side Pam Forrester, co-owner of The Magic For Less Travel, and her husband who were also celebrating their 20th anniversary. Having dined multiple times at most Disney dining venues over hundreds…
Special Diets at Walt Disney World
By Teresa Pitman Want to know why my family LOVES vacationing at Walt Disney World? Okay, we do love the resorts, the rides, the shows, the characters, the Cast Members – but besides all that, there’s another reason: we can all eat there. My family includes people who need vegan, vegetarian, diabetic and celiac meals….
Getting the Most Bang for Your Dining Plan Buck
