It is safe to say that the preparation for a Walt Disney World vacation is a little different from preparation for other types of get-a-ways.
The key thing to remember is that when you are traveling to Walt Disney World, you are entering a closed type of environment where you could, very easily, stay on the Disney dirt the entire time without the need to rent a car.
The resorts at Walt Disney World are beautiful and convenient – but remember they are designed to keep you on property. There are shopping opportunities very close, especially if you are staying at a villa that has a kitchen.
Honestly, one of the best things about a vacation at Disney is that you can pack away your car keys and not worry about having to drive for a week or so. From the time you step on the plane until you land back home, you can immerse yourself in the experience and not think about the outside world. There is something to be said for that if you are looking for a way to leave the stress of the everyday world behind. Continue reading 10 Things You Can’t Forget to Pack for Disney→
One of the newest rides at The Walt Disney World Resort is the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. It was a part of the expansion of Fantasyland, opening in 2014 – and it is one of the most technologically advanced rides on the property.
This is one of those rides that is a must-do and is absolutely something you should Fastpass to ensure you can ride without a huge wait.
As with all attractions, there are things that are amazing about this ride and there are some things that are not so great. So let’s talk about some of the pluses and minuses of this attraction.
Most folks are laser focused on getting to the parks and enjoying the Disney magic when they head to Walt Disney World.
The parks are magical. The resorts are relaxing. There is fun around every corner.
That includes the Disney Springs area of the Walt Disney world Resort as well. Formerly knows as Down Town Disney, this area started life as a shopping and entertainment district that was meant to bring a sense of night life to the family-friendly fun zone. Consisting of 2 distinct areas: Marketplace and Pleasure Island, there was a certain buzz of a late night club scene there. But recently the entire area has been re-branded and has become even more fun and hip with great places to eat and enjoy a night out.
When you think about culinary experiences, Disney has much to offer. They run the gamut from the humble corn dog to Kobe-style beef tenderloin. As far as food goes, Walt Disney World really does offer something for everyone.
That said, some parks and resorts have a little more culinary swagger than others.

They also serve the need for budget conscious diners whose first priority is value. These locations serve food that is usually hot, fast, and as economical as resort food gets.
