Narcoossee's Dining Review: A Disney Restaurant Perfect for a Special Date Night

February 27, 2020

Many people ask us what is our favorite restaurant on Disney property and the truth is there are so many that we love it can be hard to pick just one. But today we wanted to write about one of our favorites that we think is a perfect spot for a special date night out. At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, one of our favorite resorts, you can find Narcoossee’s. This casual elegance restaurant features coastal cuisine dishes. We recently dined here on Christmas Eve, read on for a full review from that night…

Disney Recipe: Authentic Grand Floridian Tea Scones

April 22, 2019

Last week we wrote about one of our favorite experiences: Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Tea Room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. And that put us in the mood for one of the treats that you are served there: freshly baked scones. When we came across a recipe from the Grand Floridian kitchen in the cook book Chef Mickey: Treasures from the Vault and Delicious New Favorites we knew we had to try it out at home. Read on for more details on making these traditional British tea snacks. (The full recipe is at the bottom of the article.)

Grand Floridian Afternoon Tea

Why Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian's Garden View Lounge is Great for Adults

April 17, 2019

One of our favorite spots on Walt Disney World property by far is the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. It holds so many romantic moments and special memories for us. During our wedding week Julie and the ladies had “tea time” at the Grand while the guys had “tee time” next door at Disney’s Palm Golf Course (see what we did there?). Since then, we have both had the pleasure of being back to visit a few times over the years for Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Tea Room. On a recent visit we enjoyed the experience once again and wanted to capture the details and share our reasons why this is a must do in our books.

Disney For Adults: Monorail Bar Crawl at Walt Disney World

February 22, 2017

On our last trip to the World we decided to explore more of the resorts and do some activities outside of the parks. We love the hotels close to the Magic Kingdom and how the Monorail connects them all. Because really who doesn't love riding the monorail? We decided it would be fun to bar hop and sample something from each spot. So we planned a night of circling the Seven Seas Lagoon by monorail and picked a spot at each resort to grab a drink and a bite. The rules were to order a drink and a food item at every stop...
