Looking for a unique, adult-only event on your next trip to Walt Disney World? Head over to the Polynesian resort for this lively experience with little touches of grown-up Disney Magic everywhere. Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is one of Disney’s most unique lounges with Hawaiian vibes and unique Disney storytelling. The menu offers a variety of drinks, but the real magic is the theatrical service. Order a “Nautilus,” and the bar turns into a diving experience complete with lighting changes, ominous music, and water gun attacks on all of the guests. Order a “Black Pearl” for some special effects with some fog and theming built around the storytelling of this Disney legend. Think Jungle Cruise fun in an adult atmosphere!

One of the common questions people ask when their dining booking window approaches is where they can find the best steak. Disney parks, resorts, and Disney Springs have a few choices, but the one my family has enjoyed for years is Le Cellier in the Canadian Pavilion in EPCOT. The interior is meant to resemble a wine cellar, which gives you a cozy and quaint environment to enjoy your meal. Each section of the restaurant represents a different province in Canada. Once you are seated in the restaurant, you are greeted by your waitstaff who are always eager to share the highlights of their Canadian hometowns. Your meal starts off with bread service that includes pretzel bread and sourdough multi-grai bread served with maple syrup whipped butter. For an appetizer, we ordered the Signature Poutine, which consisted of Fresh-cut French Fries, Canadian Cheddar Cheese Curds, Truffle, Red Wine Reduction. We […]
