Maria & Enzo's Ristorante at Disney Springs

Nestled in the heart of Disney Springs, Maria & Enzo's Ristorante offers a delightful escape into the golden age of air travel, all while serving up authentic Italian cuisine. This stunning trattoria is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a unique dining experience at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Step into a 1930s airline terminal transformed into an elegant eatery. The restaurant boasts 50-foot high ceilings, a grand staircase, and floor-to-ceiling views of Lake Buena Vista. Vintage maps and aviation artifacts add to the charming atmosphere, making you feel like you've traveled back in time to the golden age of air travel.
Maria & Enzo's menu is a celebration of traditional Sicilian dishes, perfect for families and food enthusiasts alike. Start your meal with appetizers like Arancini di Carne (rice balls stuffed with meat) or Calamari Fritti. For the main course, indulge in handcrafted pastas such as Ravioli ai Formaggi and Spaghetti alla Chitarra. Seafood lovers can savor the Salmone Alla Griglia, while meat enthusiasts might opt for the Bistecca alla Griglia, a 16-oz Certified Angus Ribeye.

On our recent visit, we ordered the Rigatoni alla Bolognese and the Cannelloni al Quattro Formaggi. Both dishes were absolutely delicious!
Rigatoni alla Bolognese
House made mezzi rigatoni, veal, pork, beef ragu,
ricotta, extra virgin olive oil, and parmigiano
Cannelloni al Quattro Formaggi
Fresh egg pasta, spinach, ricotta, fontina, parmigiano,
pecorino, toasted breadcrumbs, and light tomato sauce
The restaurant also boasts a wide variety of classic cocktails with an Italian flare, wines, Sangria, beer and Prosecco cocktails. Our recent visit was during the summer so I ordered a Watermelon Spritz that was especially refreshing on a hot Florida day.

There's also a kids' menu that's perfect for younger diners. Menu offerings include Spaghetti & Meatball, a Slice of Cheese Pizza and Chicken Tenders and Fries. Each kids' meal also comes with a choice of one starter, Fruit Salad or Fried Cheese Bites with Marinara, and a choice of Vanilla or Chocolate Ice Cream, served with a classic Italian Pizzelle cookie.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th...
