Enzo's Hideaway at Disney Springs


Enzo’s Hideaway is exactly how the name implies: A little hidden gem right under their sister restaurant, The Edison. It’s a 1920’s prohibition-themed restaurant and bar that serves Italian food for lunch and dinner. The walls are covered in graffiti as if gangsters from long ago wanted to make sure they were remembered.
The restaurant consists of a lounge/bar area as well as full table service. When you walk into the entrance, you will see that it is designed like the rum-running tunnels inspired by Florida history during the Prohibition dry years. You could spend hours looking at the drawings and quotes that date back to 1919 (according to the backstory of the restaurant). The drinks served at the bar consist of Prohibition-era and craft cocktails such as Enzo’s Rum Punch, Sicilian Mule, Luciano Spritz, Hazelnut Old Fashioned and so many more. They also boast the largest selection of scotches and specialty rums in Disney Springs, now known as “Enzo’s Smuggled & Stashed Collection.” They also serve Beer, Wine, Mocktails, House made Lemonade and Freshly Brewed Iced Tea, but you may want to try one of their fabulous specialty drinks.
Your meal will start with your own olive oil dish from an oil can labeled “Beautiful oil for beautiful people.” (So cute) Then, you can start with any of the appetizers, soups and salads, especially the Dolce Vita---the Meats, Cheeses and Antipasto charcuterie board. (When you order this board, remember that their philosophy is that you should feel like you’ve been invited into someone’s home. If you want more refills of any of the meats or cheeses, they bring them to you for free!) The imported meats and cheeses are all worth trying (along with the home-made focaccia della casa that comes with it.)

The lunch menu consists of four panini options and four pasta options. You can enjoy Vedure (eggplant) or Pollo Grigliato (chicken) paninis, for example, or some Italian favorites like Linguine Alla Burrata or Rigatoni Al Ragu Bolognese. The dinner menu consists of only eight Seconde (Meat/Vegetable Fish/Pasta) main dishes, but they are great choices, specifically from Rome and nearby regions in Italy. Choose from Bistecca Alla Griglia, Ravioli Formaggi, Eggplant Parmigiana or your familiar Spaghetti e Polpette. For the children, they offer Spaghetti & Meatballs, Cheese Pizza or Penne and Butter. 
Salmon Alla Griglia - Grilled Salmon, Crispy Potatoes, Broccolini with Chile and Garlic, Salmoriglio

Ravioli Formaggi - Pomodoro sauce, Basil, Pesto
If you decide you also want some dessert, for both lunch and dinner, they have some of your traditional favorites such as Tiramisu and Cannoli Siciliano, but their Gelato is not to be missed.

Our group of adults were very pleased with our food choices and our service. Our server was the absolute sweetest and most attentive young woman! I wish we had tried the charcuterie board, but the Salmon Alla Griglia, Spaghetti e Polpette, Ravioli Formaggi and the Luingine Alla Burrata that we did order were all given two thumbs up. Between the fabulous food, great service and fun & quiet atmosphere, we all agreed we would definitely come back again!
Luingine Alla Burrata - Roasted Mushroom, Baby Spinach, Burrata, White Wine, Mushroom Brodetto, Pecorino

Spaghetti e Polpette - Marinara, Meatballs, Parmigiano and Basil

Photo Tour and Deck Plan: Disney Fantasy

The Disney Fantasy took its maiden voyage in 2012 and until 2022, was the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. It's the sister ship to the Disney Dream so you'll see many similarities between the two ships. The Disney Fantasy is an absolutely gorgeous ship, boasting an Art Nouveau style. The ship has 14 decks, 1,250 staterooms, is 1,115 feet in length and weighs 130,000 gross tons. We'll tour the ship starting from Deck 1 up to Deck 14, going from Aft to Forward. Let's start our photo tour! Deck 1 Deck 1 is where you'll find the Health Center. It's also where you can exit the ship to board a tender at Ports of Call that require ships to anchor offshore.  Deck 2 Deck 2 is where you'll find one of the three main dining rooms, Enchanted Garden.  The restaurant transforms throughout dinner, changing from day to night I love these booths! You can also find staterooms, a Midship Detective Agency kiosk and the Vista Gallery showcasing Disney artwork.  Deck

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!

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
