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?

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

Chronos Club Review at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

I recently stayed at the Chronos Club at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. I've been a fan of Disney's Coronado Springs Resort since my first visit as it reminds me of my hometown, San Antonio. I've stayed in rooms ranging from preferred, Casita Suite, Tower King, and now Club Level access. The Chronos Club is located on the 15th floor of the Gran Destino Tower and can only be accessed with a key card or MagicBand to a corresponding Club Level reservation. I've previously stayed Club Level at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, Disney's BoardWalk Inn, and Disney's Grand Californian Resort. These are all considered Deluxe Resorts. Something that makes the Chronos Club stand out is that it is located in what Disney considers a Moderate Resort. I was really excited to check out the difference in experience, since there can be a notable difference in price tag for Moderate vs. Deluxe Res
