Best Walt Disney World Resort Playgrounds

If your kids are anything like mine, they LOVE playgrounds (even on vacation!). My kiddos are toddler and preschooler age (2 and 4) and I always consider whether a hotel has a playground when traveling! Playgrounds are a great way to burn energy (especially on non-park days) and my kids would spend hours playing at the resort playgrounds if we let them! Fortunately, there are lots of Walt Disney World resorts that offer playgrounds on property! Here’s a full list of where you can find them! Walt Disney World Resort Playgrounds Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Disney’s All-Star Music Resort Disney’s …

Topolino’s Terrace Character Breakfast

One of the newest character dining options at Walt Disney World (and my personal new favorite!) is Topolino’s Terrace at Riviera Resort. Breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace features Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy wearing ADORABLE new costumes! We’ve done this character breakfast twice now and both times had such a wonderful experience. Topolino’s Terrace Breakfast Unlike most character breakfasts at Walt Disney World, Toppolino’s Terrace is NOT a buffet meal. Topolino’s Terrace is similar to the Bon Voyage breakfast at Tratorria al Forno or Storybook Dining at Artist Point. The entire table shares an assortment of pastries and everyone chooses their …

Low Carb at Magic Kingdom

I’ve been following a low carb // keto diet lately and it’s been interesting to see what I could eat at the parks and resorts while staying on-track with my nutrition goals. And while I do believe Disney World is the BEST excuse to throw a diet out the window and indulge (because where else can you eat ALL the Mickey shaped treats, haha!), I know sometimes that’s not an option. Let’s take a look at some low carb & keto quick service options at the Magic Kingdom! Low Carb or Keto at Magic Kingdom Quick Service Restaurants Casey’s Corner …

All Star Movies Resort | Room Tour

Value resorts are a great choice if you’re looking to get the most bang-for-your-buck on your Walt Disney World vacation. You still get all the perks of staying on property at Walt Disney World with a much lower price tag when compared to a Moderate or Deluxe resort. Of all the Value resorts, All Star Movies features fan-favorite theming including Toy Story, 101 Dalmatians and Fantasia! We recently stayed in the 101 Dalmatians section of All Star Movies and my kids couldn’t have loved it more! All Star Movies Room Tour We arrived to the resort after sunset and left …

Once we were inside the park, …

My Favorite Fanny Packs for Disney

Fanny packs are (thankfully!) coming back into style and I absolutely love wearing mine to the parks (and everyday in fact). The ease of being hands-free when I’m running around the parks with two little ones is golden. I always bring a backpack to the parks as well — you can see what I pack in that right here — but I like to leave that in the stroller when we go on rides and just bring my valuable items in the fanny pack (think keys, wallet, phone, and some hand sanitizer kinda deal). Lets take a look at my …
