Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! This is especially true at Disney World, after all you need to fuel those magical days! There are so many amazing breakfast options on property, but some breakfast options offer more than just food. Some breakfast reservations, if they are made for early enough, allow you entrance into the parks before they have opened. This means empty park photos! Keep in mind that there will be set paths to get to participating restaurants, but there are still plenty of amazing photo opportunities! So, what restaurants offer these opportunities? We’re so glad that you asked! Animal Kingdom Tusker House Restaurant – Located in Africa Tusker House offer guests a grand breakfast buffet and a chance to meet Donald and his pal’s at his Safari Breakfast! On your way to this reservation you’ll be able to see Expedition Everest in the distance as well as the Tree of Life. Following breakfast, once the park opens, head to Kilimanjaro Safaris an

A while ago we talked about how we like to try at least one new place to eat every time we visit the Walt Disney World Resort. On our last trip we tried a few new places, one of those places was Whispering Canyon Café. We were excited to finally be trying Whispering Canyon, it had been on our must try list for a while. The restaurant is located inside of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, just off the main lobby. Like the resort the restaurant has a rustic feel to it, with Cowboys and Indians on the chair backs. The staff and guests have a lot of fun – there are hobby horse races and if you ask for ketchup will be in for a surprise. While you’re at Wilderness Lodge be sure to stop by the geyser by the pool! It goes off on the hour. Our favorite way to go to and from the resort is by watercraft and the boat launch isn’t far from the geyser, either. The Food The adults started the meal with the Moonshine Flight . The flight consisted of three different Troy & Sons Whi

A Disney Cruise is the perfect vacation for the whole family! We’re sure you’ve wondered if it is right for your family, though. What is there to do on board? Are there activities for adults? Or thought that you don’t want to take your little ones until they’re old enough to remember it. Take it from us that it is the best choice for a vacation, at least for us. Christian talks about our last cruise all the time! He’s almost three and he has been on three cruises and has loved his time on all three of them. He can’t stop talking about our next cruise, too! Trust us, as long as your little one is old enough to sail* they’ll love their Disney Cruise. Today we have for you Disney Cruise Line for Babies and Toddlers! Splash Zone – If your little one(s) are anything like ours then you’ll most likely be sending a fair amount of time at the splash zones. Each ship has a splash zone for little ones to splash and play! Little sailors in swim diapers can enjoy these areas as well. Ther

Food is a HUGE part of the Disney experience and at Disneyland there are so many amazing dining choices to pick from. We have tried a lot of delicious eats, and sadly some of our favorites can no longer be found on the menu, but there are still quite a few eats that we can’t pass up when we visit the Disneyland Resort. Today we have for you our ten favorites Disneyland eats. Mickey Sink Sundae - It’s ice cream and a souvenir! There are five flavor options and each one sounds delicious! We’ve tried two, the Oswald which has vanilla and chocolate ice cream and a chocolate dipped banana! And the Chocolate Chip Cookie Hot Fudge which has two scoops of vanilla ice cream and two chocolate chip cookies. Yum! These delicious sundaes and other tasty ice cream treats can be found at Clarabelle’s Hand Scooped Ice Cream at Disney California Adventure Park. Dole Whip – This might be our favorite snack in all of Disneyland. If you don’t know what a Dole Whip is you’re missing out! Sweet,
