Pongu Pongu at Disney's Animal Kingdom


Pongu Pongu is a Quick Service drink stand located in Pandora - The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Although Pongu Pongu is primarily a drink stand, the location is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves snacks, as well as beverages, that are out of this world. 

If you aren't sure where to find Pongu Pongu, just look for the AMP suit (aka the giant robot looking thing) and you're there! There isn't any seating available at this drink stand so you can take your drinks/snacks to-go as you explore Pandora or you can grab a seat at the outdoor seating area next door at Satu'li Canteen. Note that the seating area for Satu'li Canteen is reserved for guests dining at that restaurant but you are more than welcome to sit there before the restaurant opens with your items from Pongu Pongu.

For breakfast, Pongu Pongu serves a Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit, French Toast Sticks, and a Pongu Lumpia. On our recent trip we tried the French Toast Sticks and the Pongu Lumpia, a pineapple cream cheese spring roll. We weren't sure what to expect with the Pongu Lumpia but it was absolutely delicious! I also really enjoyed the French Toast Sticks. I mean, it's hard to go wrong with fried dough and cinnamon sugar.

If you live by the philosophy that "it's 5 o'clock somehwere", you could also grab an alcoholic beverage with your breakfast. Treat yourself to a Rum Blossom, Mo'ara Margarita, Mo'ara High Country Ale or Hawkes' Grog Ale. Ever heard someone talk about how amazing the green beer is at Disney's Animal Kingdom? They're talking about the Hawkes' Grog Ale. I didn't try it on this trip but plan to try it on a future trip.  

We didn't get an alcoholic beverage for breakfast but I did opt for the Night Blossom, a non-alcoholic speciality beverage. It's a super photogenic drink and it takes good too! It's pretty sweet but I find it's flavors to be refreshing on a hot, Florida day. The Rum Blossom is the alcoholic version of the Night Blossom with rum added. 

The alcoholic beverages are available all day so if you don't feel like a margarita for breakfast, you can grab one later. That's what we need! We went back to Pongu Pongu later in the afternoon to get ourselves a Mo'ara Margarita. It's another frozen drink that didn't disappoint on a hot, hot day. The Boba Balls on the Mo'ara Margarita and Night Blossom drinks are cute for pictures but a little weird to eat.

You'll see the Pongu Lumpia on the lunch and dinner menu with the addition of a Colossal Pretzel served with beer cheese sauce. I didn't try one of these on our recent trip but they sound delicious! I'll definitely be going back to Pongu Pongu to get a green beer and a pretzel on our next trip. 

Pongu Pongu means "Party Party" in the Na'vi language and your tastebuds will certainly be having a party when you try their beverages and snacks. Do you have a favorite menu item from Pongu Pongu?

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

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, agents Maci, Ashley, Aubrey and Yaritza and I rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. Agent Ashley received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view!

Our Favorite Mocktails at Walt Disney World

Your resident foodie and vacation lush here to chime in on our favorite zero-proof drinks at the parks which I feel like Disney has done a much better job of recently.  Zero-proof alcohol is really having a moment so you can get a lot more mocktails that aren't just sugary sweet, and I am here for it!  Whether you are trying out "Dry January" for your visit, currently pregnant, underage, or just choose not to drink for whatever reason, I hope this list helps you find something to look forward to trying on your next trip! Let's start with a popular one from the last year, the EARidescent Sip-a-bration drink.  This delight can be found at most lounges throughout the 50th celebration at Walt Disney World. It features Minute Maid® Premium Lemonade and Fruity Strawberry Punch, and is served in a souvenir 50th Celebration Cup with a surprise character. This is definitely a kid-friendly drink but it is so fun to drop in the character and watch the drink change color and sta
