This is a top resort for me! Being able to walk to both Hollywood Studios and Epcot really gives it that extra boost of love. (Walking isn’t required, there are boats too!) Some deluxe resorts are higher in price and you can’t walk to any of the them...
Disney's BoardWalk Villas

This resort really transports you to a tropical destination while still staying in the Disney bubble. The dining options here (‘Ohana, Trader Sam’s, and Captain Cook’s) are so good! ‘Ohana is great for breakfast if you’re wanting character dining a...

Caribbean beach at Walt Disney World is one of the moderate resorts. It is located on the Skyliner, which gives you direct access to both Hollywood Studios and Epcot, which really cut down your travel time when you’re visiting those theme parks. It i...

If you are a fan of the Skyliner and wanting to save some money by staying value, do not sleep on pop Century. This resort is so much fun as far as the vibes, everyone at Pops Century is always in a good mood. I don’t know what the magic they put in ...
Disney's Pop Century Resort

French Quarter is one of the best moderate resorts because of its size and the offerings that it has. There is only one bus stop here as opposed to the other moderate resources that you have an internal bus system. No matter what type of room that yo...
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter

Art of animation has multiple perks going for it. It is number one on the Skyliner and number two. They offer family suites here if it is something that you are in need of or interested in. The family suite slip up to six guests, and it comes with a...

Resort Restaurants

Dining at Disney World is one of the most exciting things to plan - whether you are looking for character dining or a nice date night, I am listing all of the best ones (found at the Disney World Resorts)

DELICIOUS AND BOUJEE. If you’re looking for a dinner for a special location or a date night while on vacation, this is your place. It is known for their seafood dishes (highly recommend the seafood charcuterie board) but they also offer a surf &...

Topolino‘s Terrace located at the Riviera resort is perfect for a breakfast experience. The characters are so cute in their outfits. Typically you will meet Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy at this dining experience. It is a very popular experience...
Topolino's Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera

A GREAT date night spot at Walt Disney World! If you favor seafood as your protein for the meal then definitely check out this location - it is very strongly based around seafood (hence the name). Yes, you can still get steak too! Also, the locat...
Flying Fish

Epcot favorites

Everything at Epcot is a favorite - but truly, the countries have SO much to offer you to enjoy!

If you like the creamy drinks…this is the one you need to get. It is sweet, but again, it has the cream. Doesn't taste like coffee at all - I don't enjoy coffee, but a creamy chocolate drink that is cold for Florida? Absolute perfection.
Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe

Animal Kingdom Favorites

Do you think Animal Kingdom is a half day park? Think again! Take in the drinks/snacks and animal trails and shows along with the attractions, you'll be there for longer than you think!

10/10 for this drink - no notes. It’s located at the Dahwa Bar in Afrika in Animal Kingdom. It’s sweet without being too sweet (in my opinion, but I do enjoy sweeter drinks!) Pretty much everyone that orders more than 1 drink from this bar walks ...
Prickly Pear Margarita

Magic Kingdom Favorites

Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Tomorrowland, Main Street…the list goes on and on. There is so much to enjoy for all ages at the Magic Kingdom!

If you are racing to the park in the morning and skip out or miss breakfast at your resort (and enjoy a sweeter breakfast) hit up Gaston's Tavern for a creme brulee croissant! This was big enough to split between 2 of us as a snack and held us over u...
Crème Brûlée Croissant

Hollywood Studios Favorites

I love Hollywood Studios for the vintage vibes. Hollywood in the 1930's-1950's is so full of glam. This park is also my FAVORITE during the holidays with the decorations and the music they play!

I don’t know why this restaurant isn’t spoken about more - we quite literally eat here every single trip with the Fantasmic Dining Package! Get the Margarita flight if you enjoy sweeter drinks. The grapefruit cake and the chocolate cake are both ...
The Hollywood Brown Derby

Anytime you go to Toy Story Land, just do yourself a favor, and get one…or two.

This drink is available at Docking Bay 7 and Ronto Roasters. It has delicious flavors and is really refreshing on a hot day! It is one that I try to get each time I visit Galaxy's Edge!
