Deluxe Studio at Disney's Polynesian Villas and Bungalows

Staying at the Polynesian has been on my bucket list for years now, so this trip was definitely one I had been looking forward to. The resort is set right on the Seven Seas Lagoon and you truly feel like you have landed in a tropical paradise! It's just an iconic location and it's amazing to think that it was one of two of the first on-site hotels on property. Another great thing about the Polynesian is the amount of transportation. You can take the monorail (monorail access will not be available starting October 2020), a ferry boat, bus, or you can even walk over to the TTC. The resort is about to undergo a huge overhaul and I'll share some information about that below!

Tower Studio at Disney's Riviera Resort

I want to preface this by saying that we did not end up spending the night in this room, as our bed was broken and had to be forcefully pulled down by maintenance to the point that it couldn't be moved back up. As the room is rather small, that would have made for a bit of an awkward stay and we were moved to a different room, which I will be sharing shortly. 

The Tower Studio rooms are a new room type for Disney and are designed for 2 people, so they make a really nice and quaint option if you're on your honeymoon! These are not an ideal option if you're looking for a larger room to do a lot of moving about.

Poor Unfortunate Souls Float from Storybook Treats in Magic Kingdom

 

Okay, so maybe back in December I was too quick to say that "anything" you get from Storybook Treats is going to be good. The Poor Unfortunate Soul just did not do it for me. It's got black raspberry soft serve and Cherry Coke. The two flavors just did not work for me. This was definitely a pass for me!

Flory Farms Airbnb in Kentwood Louisiana

With the current travel restrictions, we decided to opt out of our usual summer vacation and looked for more of staycation option. We were referred to this charming Country Cottage in Kentwood Louisiana; Flory Farms.

Topolino’s Terrace Character Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends

 

Disney's Riviera Resort has quickly become my all time favorite Walt Disney World Resort. And let me tell you, the character breakfast at Topolino's Terrace is the best character breakfast at Disney World too! Chef Mickey, who? 

Favorite Eats at Disney World Part 2

I'm having a hard time accepting that 2019 has come and gone and it's 2020, but to start off the New Year I wanted to share some of the best things I ate at Disney World recently! And it would not be a "favorite Disney food" post without mentioning the Bacon Mac n Cheese Fries at Casey's Corner in Magic Kingdom. Seriously, there has not been a trip since these were announced that we did not order two of these bad boys (yep, we can't share, they are THAT good!)

Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

I booked a room at Gran Destino Tower as soon as the window opened. We stayed at Coronado Springs right after the room renovation and I remember they were working on the tower at that time. I couldn't fathom why they would put a big eye sore right out in front of such a beautiful resort, but I have eaten my words. The tower is stunning, it's a work of art inside and out and I cannot wait to stay there again!
