If you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World and want a truly enchanting dining experience, look no further than Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom.   Here's everything you need to know about this magical dining experience from a Disney Travel Agent's perspective:  When my daughter turned 16, we knew we had to make this milestone birthday extra special—what better way than by dining inside the iconic Cinderella Castle with the Disney Princesses themselves?

When I found out that Din Tai Fung was opening at Downtown Disney in California, I was really looking forward to it. The new Downtown Disney location brings this amazing dining experience and combines Disney magic with incredible food, making it a must-visit spot for families, couples, and friends.  Din Tai Fung is known for its delicious dumplings and tasty dishes so while we were down in Disneyland for a quick visit, we couldn’t pass up the chance to visit.  Din Tai Fung started in Taiwan and became popular because of its xiao long bao, or soup dumplings. These dumplings are thin and delicate, filled with tasty broth and tender meat. Eating one is more than just having a meal—it’s an experience.  They have an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs fold the dumplings by hand through a viewing window. Upon arriving at the restaurant, you will need to go speak to the hostess. If you don’t have a reservation, they will give you a wait time and will text you when it...

La Cantina de San Angel is a quick service location in the Mexico Pavilion on the World Showcase side of Epcot. It's always busy - and for good reason! The menu is simple but delicious and the views are nice, too.  The menu here is small but packs a delicious (and healthy!) punch. Tacos, nachos, and empanadas are the stars. You can smother them in your favorite toppings--cheese, beans, beef, tomatoes, jalapenos or sour cream. The nachos are a great meal or shareable snack. You can add guacamole for a small charge or take advantage of the complimentary salsa that La Cantina offers. The red is smoky and hot and the green is tangy and mild and both are yummy.  Here are some popular entrees:  Arroz Bowl Rice bowl topped with grilled chicken, corn, spicy tomato salsa, pickled onions, queso fresco and cilantro  Arroz Bowl with Barbacoa Beef or Shrimp Rice bowl topped with barbacoa beef, corn, spicy tomato salsa, pickled onions, queso fresco and cilantro or Rice bowl toppe...

Disney Cruise Line distinguishes itself from the competition with its unique "rotational dining" setup. Rotational dining ensures that all guests experience each of the three themed dining venues on board. Each night of your cruise itinerary, your party, tablemates, and service team will rotate to one of the three main dining rooms. This arrangement allows guests to enjoy multiple restaurants on board while maintaining the same wait staff. Upon arrival at the cruise terminal, guests will receive their restaurant schedule and table number through the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. Each evening, you will be assigned one of the three restaurants, but you will remain at the same table number each night, making it easy to remember your seating. You will also have the same tablemates and servers, fostering familiarity and the potential for building lasting friendships with fellow guests and staff. In addition to rotational dining, there are two dinner seatings each night of your...

The Island Tower at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is part of a recent expansion that includes the new Disney Vacation Club Villas. Island Tower is located near the resort’s main building and beach area, offering incredible views of Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom. The Island Tower was part of the Polynesian Resort’s transformation after Disney introduced the Moana-themed overlay to the resort. This includes the reimagining of the resort's decor, with vibrant elements inspired by one of my favorite Disney movies, Moana. It is connected to the main Polynesian Resort via a short walking path. The Island Tower is home to the Polynesian Villas. These villas provide spacious accommodations for guests looking for a more extended stay with kitchenettes or full kitchens.   The Moana's Voyage splash pad next to the Cove Pool features Moana on her sailboat where kids can climb and pretend to be Wayfinders, making it a fun and engaging space. The splash pad includes wa...
