  • Animal Kingdom Lodge: Something for Everyone

    6/26/2020 • Reviews, Walt Disney World • Once our kids (7 and 5) find out that we are heading to Walt Disney World, there is always one question that follows, "Are we staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge?" There is no denying that it is our family's favorite and it is always our top recommendation to friends and family that are planning their trip. Here are a few reasons why we love Animal Kingdom Lodge: 1. The immersive experience. It feels like you are in Africa! Of course, I’ve never been to Africa, but the theming of this resort is wonderful. From the activities and storytellers in the lobby to the landscaping and animals outside of your window. It just feels like you are somewhere and everything is an experience (and a good one at that!) 2. The Animals! They are obviously the star of the show at this resort, but to us it’s the freedom and fun […]

  • The Animation Experience at the Conservation Station-Disney’s Animal Kingdom

    3/20/2020 • Walt Disney World • Our love for Disney started with animation, and the first Disney films we enjoyed as a family, so it’s no wonder that animation classes at Disney parks have been “our thing” for years! Although Disney has closed the Animation Academy at Hollywood Studios, you can now draw with a Disney animator at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It’s an experience that artists of all ages can enjoy! Your adventure begins when you board a train headed for the Conservation Station. It’s a fun ride to get you to a remote area of the park to explore. You can choose to walk around and look at the conservation and educational stations set up, venture into the petting zoo, or enter the main building where you can try your hand at drawing a popular Disney animal character! As with all Disney animation classes, you are provided with a board, paper, and a pencil. They […]

  • Navigating a Disney Split Day

    2/14/2020 • Tips, Walt Disney World • A Disney vacation is such a thrill and getting started with your planning begins with the resort hotel you select for your stay. But what if you can’t decide on just one resort? Don’t worry; you aren’t alone! Many families are torn between two or more resorts for their trip. Fortunately for you, there is an option that will allow you to try multiple resorts— a Disney split stay! What is a split stay? A split stay is a change from one resort to another during the course of your uninterrupted trip. Want that amazing pool at Disney’s Beach Club resort, but also would love to give your child the experience of a room overlooking the African animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge? What about the ease of the monorail access at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, but also wanting the theming of a Cars suite at the Art of Animation […]

  • 6 Tips for Single Parents at Walt Disney World

    11/22/2019 • Tips, Walt Disney World • Thinking about a Disney vacation, but you are going as a single parent? Don’t worry! There are several tips and tricks that will make your Disney World vacation as a single parent a breeze! Schedule table service dining Anytime I take my children to Disney by myself, I make sure to reserve table service meals for us while in the parks. This prevents me from needing to get up from our table for napkins, condiments, drink refills, etc. I make sure to use our quick service credits from our dining plan for breakfast at our resort or a later dinner and make lunch our largest meal while in the parks. You also might want to avoid buffets if you have young children so you don’t have to leave the table at all. Your Me and The Mouse Travel Specialist can help you choose the best table service choices for your […]

  • Tropical Dining Adventures at Rainforest Cafe {Review}

    7/30/2019 • Walt Disney World • If you are looking for a tropical adventure, look no further. The Disney property is filled with so many new experiences and dining, here is no exception. Venturing into a tropical rainforest while on Disney property is easy with two convenient Rainforest Cafe locations found at the Disney Springs Marketplace and outside the Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Neither location requires a theme park admission. The Disney Dining Plan is accepted at both locations. Reservations are recommended and can be made 180 days prior to your travel start date. As this experience attracts a large number of explorers, wait times can be rather extensive. You may want to apply to join the Landry’s Select Club in advance to receive priority seating without a reservation. There is a $25 cost to join, but you will get a $25 welcome reward applied to your account which can be used as a credit to […]

  • Tiffins Restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

    5/29/2019 • Tips, Walt Disney World • Tiffins Restaurant is a Disney Signature restaurant located in the Animal Kingdom Theme Park. The menu contains items representing African, Indian, and South American and is open for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is inspired by the travels of the Imagineers explorations when they were creating the Animal Kingdom park. When dining at this location, be sure you take time to visit each of the three separate dining rooms. The separate rooms are referred to as galleries because they are themed and filled with select artwork. The waitstaff is eager to share the background of each room and art pieces. By having the restaurant separated by rooms, it helps makes your dining experience feel more intimate and is a quieter type of setting. If you are on the Disney Dining Plan, this will be a 2-credit table service reservation since it is a signature restaurant. You can also add to […]

  • Boma-Flavors of Africa Breakfast Buffet {Review}

    1/25/2019 • Reviews, Walt Disney World • If you are a breakfast fan and are looking for a unique dining experience, I recommend trying the breakfast buffet at Boma - Flavors of Africa. Boma is located at Animal Kingdom Lodge at Jambo House. It is a family-friendly themed Disney dining experience. I have enjoyed the Boma dinner experience for years when visiting Walt Disney World. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to enjoy the Boma breakfast experience while attending a travel agent training at Walt Disney World with my fellow agent, Tressa Krippel. You are in for a treat if your are trying Boma breakfast for the first time like me. It is a good choice because you will find traditional breakfast items in addition to items with an African flair. Although breakfast is served buffet style, a server will bring your drinks to your table. Boma serves breakfast daily from 7:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., […]

  • Rivers of Light – “We Are One”

    1/22/2019 • Reviews, Walt Disney World • Animal Kingdom is quickly rising in popularity by Disney guests as a must-see park. Part of recent appeal has been Disney’s intentional addition of evening attractions that allow guests to experience the park in a new and unique perspective. Rivers of Light is one of Disney’s evening shows that is spectacular like none other. Held each evening (weather permitting), Rivers of Light is performed on Discovery River between Dinoland USA and Asia. Guests will be drawn into the story of nature that has existed from long ago, revealing the beauty that surrounds us each and every day. Glowing lotus flowers and riverboats light up the river and slowly perform a dance all on their own. Floats depicting the tiger, turtle, elephant, and owl soon welcome you to the start of the show, turning and twisting as they play together in rhythm and harmony. The water ballet begins with light and […]

  • Birds, a Dog, and Ducks…Oh My!

    5/9/2018 • Walt Disney World • BIG CHANGES have been happening at Disney World…(in case you haven’t heard).  From the long-anticipated Toy Story Land coming to Hollywood Studios at the end of June 2018, to room renovations at their ever-popular themed resorts, and gondola systems being constructed as an added form of transportation…the changes seem endless. Disney never fails to keep finding ways to strike the interest of its fans with new and exciting big projects!   Last year in Animal Kingdom, the large addition was Pandora – The World of Avatar.  While the momentum of that land has not seemed to waiver after months of being open, Disney likes to add some smaller changes to the parks as well to keep with its evolution.  Making smaller additions to the parks keeps the interest of the Disney fans so they always have something NEW to look forward to on their next trip. Even with a major opening […]
