Evening Activities Outside the Theme Parks

Not only can touring theme parks all day be exhausting, but in the off-season, the parks sometimes close earlier as well. Having a game plan for those evenings can be crucial! Here are a few of our favorite ways to spend an evening outside the theme parks. Disney Springs - Dinner or Dessert Disney Springs has really upped its food game in the last several years. You can find a wide variety here, from fine dining to quick service and even food trucks. Honestly, I’ve liked almost everything I’ve tried. This is a great option to mix it up and get a meal at a more leisurely pace since you won’t be running to the next attraction afterward. Many dining options even boast celebrity chefs, great for a foodie like me. Some of my favorites include Morimoto Asia or Paddlefish for a nice dinner (and they both have great lounge/bar areas as well!). T-Rex is also a huge hit for families with dinosaur fans, but the meteor strike can be a little loud and scary for younger kids. The Polite Pig is great

Sailing the Disney Wish with a Toddler

The Disney Wish is a fantastic ship with plenty of activities for all ages, including toddlers. Here are some tips to make the most of your cruise with your little one: Before You Go Pack Smart : Bring essentials like diapers, wipes, and your child’s favorite snacks. Don’t forget swim diapers for the splash pads. Please note all snacks must be sealed in original packaging and fruit is not allowed to be brought onboard the ship. Our favorites are That's It Bars, Animal Crackers, and un-opened, commercially-packed applesauce pouches. Stroller : A lightweight, foldable stroller is handy for navigating the ship and ports of call. The smaller the better here, our Bugaboo Butterfly fits in the overhead compartments on airplanes, but couldn't get past the bed in the stateroom so we kept it folded in the closet while not out and about. Onboard Tips Nursery Services : Take advantage of the “It’s a Small World Nursery” for babysitting services. You can enjoy some adult time while your to

Exploring Epcot’s World Showcase: Must-Try Foods

EPCOT is known for its festivals, which are fantastic, but they can sometimes overshadow the year-round culinary delights found in the World Showcase Pavilions. Here are some of our favorite non-festival food items that you can enjoy throughout the year. Mexico Choza de Margarita has become my go-to spot in the Mexico Pavilion. Tucked away outside the iconic pyramid, this gem offers a variety of margaritas, including rotating seasonal options, and delicious snacks like empanadas. It’s a great value compared to the Mexico-inspired festival booths. Norway The Norway Pavilion has gained popularity with the addition of Frozen, but it’s also home to  Kringla Bakeri og Kafe , a long-time favorite of mine. The school bread, a sweet cardamom bun filled with vanilla custard and topped with coconut, is a must-try. I also recommend the lefse, a soft flatbread rolled with cinnamon, sugar, and butter. China To avoid getting too full while exploring, I like to grab a refreshing tea from  The Joy of
