For many Disney visitors, a value resort may be a great option. They are the most affordable option on property, they have fun, kid-friendly themeing, and they give you the basic no-frills necessities for a hotel stay. I have a special place in my heart for the values because they make staying at Disney […]
The Process of buying DVC resale
As you may or may not know (if you follow me on instagram you probably saw!) my husband and I have recently become DVC owners! After a lot of research and saving we finally purchased a resale contract at Animal Kingdom Lodge for 180 points. We knew we wanted to buy DVC for a long […]
California Grill Brunch at the Top
What’s one of the best things you can do on a Disney girls trip? Go to Sunday morning brunch, of course! For our big “fancy” event of our trip we elected to go to the brunch at California Grill. It’s offered every Sunday morning, with reservations available from 10am-2pm. It’s pricey (I think we paid […]
Seaside Sprint at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort
Lately Disney has been introducing more resort run options in the mornings. These are short “fun runs,” with the most well known one being the Beignet Dash at Port Orleans French Quarter on Sunday mornings. We were able to experience another one this past November at the Boardwalk – the Seaside Sprint Fun Run! The […]
Grand Floridian Cafe dinner
On my last trip to Disney I was a bit tired of the dinner options in Magic Kingdom, so we opted to head out of the park and try one of the resorts nearby. I had been to Grand Floridian Cafe once before and really enjoyed the pasta dish I had there. They have another […]
Art of Animation: Little Mermaid rooms
I’ve stayed at Art of Animation in the family suites twice before: once in the Lion King section, and once in the Cars section. It’s a great resort and the suites are really nice – great for groups or big families. When Jason and I drove up to Orlando after our cruise from Miami we […]
Port Orleans French Quarter review
I’ve stayed at Port Orleans Riverside several times, and while it’s been a favorite, I had never stayed across the way at Port Orleans French Quarter! So when it came time to book a resort for my August “untogether” trip (this is my solo trip where a friend joined me as long as I […]
Beignet Dash at Port Orleans French Quarter
Running at Disney has become super popular with all of the RunDisney events happening, but if you don’t want to do a ton of miles, come on a crowded race weekend, and get up at 3 in the morning, Disney is starting to offer some fun resort run options! The Beignet Dash at Port Orleans […]
Breakfast at the Wave
Perhaps ones of the best “hidden gems” at Disney World, breakfast at the Wave is a pretty delicious experience. It’s located in the Contemporary resort just walking distance from Magic Kingdom. People seem to either not know about it or pass it up in favor of other places like Chef Mickey’s in the same building […]
The Contemporary Resort review
In February there were a lot of exciting things to look forward to about our Disney trip – but one of the biggest ones was the location where we were staying! A group of 8 of us were sharing a 2 bedroom suite in Bay Lake Tower, part of the Contemporary resort. We had a […]
