One of the most magical experiences at Walt Disney World is meeting your favorite characters and Disney royalty. Autographs from the Princesses are my daughter's most cherished souvenirs.

The Princesses usually meet guests by themselves, or perhaps with their Prince by their side. They can also be met in groups at two Disney restaurants: Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (ARBH) in the Norway Pavilion of Epcot or at Cinderella’s Royal Table (CRT) inside the Castle at Magic Kingdom. The Princesses who appear at these restaurants vary and you never know who will grace guests with their presence. I love seeing my daughter's eyes light up with excitement when another Princess comes in the room! They make their way around to every table, spending time with each guest, and signing autographs.

Here are the Princesses' Current Locations*:

Snow White - Epcot's World Showcase, in the Germany Pavilion, and occasionally at CRT and ARBH.

Rapunzel - Magic Kingdom's Princess Fairytale Hal…

Shipping a package to your Walt Disney World Resort prior to your arrival can save space and weight in your suitcase. If you send yourself a few things that you would typically buy when you arrive, like snacks and drinks, you can save a lot of money on airline baggage fees. You can purchase things directly from websites like Amazon, Walmart, etc., and just ship them straight to the Resort. And, if you have Amazon Prime, shipping is free!

You could also pack a box and ship it from the Post Office about 5 days before you travel. I use a large Priority Flat Rate Box from the Post Office. They cost $17.45 in the U.S. and the best thing is, the weight doesn't matter! Prices are subject to change so check your local Post Office for current pricing.

We’ve been heading to Walt Disney World as a family since my daughter was 3 months old, and she is now 12, so we’ve had plenty of opportunities to try new restaurants, but we always seem to go back to the same ones.  So, I now try to add at least one new restaurant on each trip and we’ve managed to find some new favorites over the years.  Disney is the perfect place to try new foods and new experiences!  With each discovery of a new restaurant, we make new memories.  Not only do I love these ten restaurants for their food, but for the memories we made there!

10. Coral Reef Restaurant - Future World in Epcot

The first time we ate here was for lunch on our honeymoon, and got to sit right next to the aquarium glass.  We loved looking at all the fish while we ate, and even got to see divers.  The next time we ate there we had a 4 year old and a 3 month old with us.  We got to see Mickey Mouse in scuba gear diving in the tank!  The fish is so fresh that you hope it wasn’t one you just saw sw…

Kingdom Konsultant client London had an unforgettable Disney Cruise Line experience that she was excited to share with our readers. The Disney Fantasy's Star Wars Day at Sea happened on 8 different sailings, with a one-day ship takeover by all things Star Wars, including characters, games, movies and music! Read her review of this "out of this galaxy" experience:

Star Wars Day at Sea aboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship was truly one of the best vacations I have ever experienced. For a single day during our seven day vacation, it was a treat to experience Star Wars on the ship.



There were many Star Wars activities such as:

· Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple - learn the ways of the Force as young Padawans battle Lord Vader on stage!

· Padawan Mind Challenge - young kids and their families can test their Star Wars knowledge in a trivia show.

· Galactic Dance Party - kids can dance to remixed Star Wars music on the main deck at night with fun strobe l…

As you may know, Disney's All-Star Music Resort is a value resort located on Walt Disney World property in the Animal Kingdom Resort area. There are 5 uniquely themed sections at this resort, all designed after different musical genres. There are 3 room categories: Preferred Rooms, Standard Rooms, and Family Suites.
