Planet Hollywood Observatory

Planet Hollywood Observatory Review

May 26, 2020

Do you remember when Planet Hollywood used to be a big blue planet with “The Jenny” boat from Forrest Gump parked outside? We sure do and we have to admit we probably haven’t actually visited since then. With the redo of Disney Springs the restaurant received a facelift in 2017 to fit the new theming and we were definitely due for a visit to see the remodel. Last week we had a hankering for some American food and went to go check out the redone Planet Hollywood Observatory which included a different menu too. We have always been big movie fans so were also excited to see the memorabilia inside too. Read on to hear about our dinner at this fun themed spot…

Playing FootGolf at Walt Disney World Golf

May 18, 2020

Lately we have been spending some time at the Walt Disney World Golf Courses enjoying some fresh air and sunshine. (You can learn more about Golfing at Walt Disney World in our guide here.) While visiting we learned that WDW Golf offers a slightly different game as well — FootGolf. We had never played before but it sounded fun so we decided to book a tee time to check out this game with a different twist. Read on to learn more…

Our 2020 Review: The $35 Magical Dining Menu at STK Steakhouse Disney Springs

May 6, 2020

Andrew loves a good steak dinner and a certain restaurant at Disney Springs had been on our list for awhile: STK Steakhouse. STK describes itself as a chic and modern steakhouse offering a fine dining experience. This location happened to be participating in Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining promotion which offers a special three-course prix-fixe dinner for only $35. With Andrew’s brother Chris, wife Kelly, and niece visiting us in Orlando we decided to book a reservation for us to enjoy a nice dinner together. Read on to hear more about this unique spot at Disney Springs…

Moonlight Magic at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon

April 24, 2020

Earlier this week we were supposed to be attending a special event for Disney Vacation Club members called “Moonlight Magic,” but unfortunately due to COVID-19 it was canceled. We were just reminiscing about our first after hours event which happened to be this past fall at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. Curious about what a Moonlight Magic party is like? Read on to hear about our fun night at the water park after dark…

Our Review of Spice Road Table at Epcot (2020)

April 20, 2020

While we love strolling Epcot’s World Showcase and sampling food and drink along the way, once in awhile we love booking a table service meal in one of the countries. Morocco has always been one of our favorite stops for flavorful cuisine. The menus can seem a bit more adventurous for some, which we find can actually lead to less kids and a quieter atmosphere. Having opened in 2014, Spice Road Table is a newer addition to the pavilion and has quickly become one of our favorites. Read on to hear more about this great dinner spot…

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival

April 17, 2020

Throughout the year there are a few different seasons that bring some extra magic to Disney parks. One of those times happens to be in the spring when Epcot hosts the International Flower & Garden Festival. We had been to this festival years ago, and boy has it grown! (Food booths didn’t even exist back then!) While the 2020 festival season was cut short we were lucky enough to visit a little bit in the beginning and wanted to share the offerings this year. From beautiful gardens, to fresh food, and springtime merch, read on to hear what this festival has to offer…

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill

Our 2020 Review: The $35 Magical Dining Menu at Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill

April 13, 2020

While celebrity Austrian-American chef Wolfgang Puck is not new to Disney property, we personally had yet to dine at any of his locations. The newest Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill location opened at Disney Springs in 2018 and has been on our list of restaurants we had wanted to try for awhile now. When making some plans with friends we decided the comfort food menu and variety of drinks sounded like a crowd pleaser so we finally decided to make a reservation. And lucky us, our dinner date also happened to fall during Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining promotion. With a special three-course prix-fixe dinner for only $35 this dinner was an even more perfect excuse for a night out. Read on to hear more about this modern dining option with fresh classic dishes…
