Storyteller's Cafe at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel

On the last day of our Disneyland vacation, my family and I wanted to have breakfast with the characters. We didn’t reserve it 60 days before, but we looked for reservations that morning, and found one for Storyteller’s Cafe located at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. If you don’t have hotel reservations, you can still park at the hotel with a dining reservation. They will check your name at the security booth.

Upon arrival, we checked in with the cast member and waited for our names to be called. The wait didn't take long at all. We got there just in time for breakfast and our experience was enjoyable. They had a yogurt parfait bar, choice of pastries and cereals, a charcuterie platter and smoked salmon bar. For the hot selections, they had oatmeal, an omelet station, bacon, sausage, chili verde chilaquiles (these were delicious) and of course, Mickey waffles. They also had eggs benedict, carved meats, and some delicious french toast. I had a little bit of everything but I especially liked the chili verde chilaquiles and the blueberry muffins.


The children (and adults) really enjoyed seeing the characters visit each table. It was a wonderful experience. It does come with a steep price tag at $52 per adult and $31 per child (plus tax and gratuity). I thought it was worth it because waiting to meet characters at the park during the summer months is nearly impossible.

Storyteller’s Café is more than just a place to eat; it’s a celebration of Disney’s ability to craft unforgettable stories, not just through their films, but through every facet of their resorts and dining experiences.

The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian: Studios of Big Pine Key

I didn't think Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa could get any grander, but then I stayed in one of their Resort Studio rooms. These are the newest rooms at The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The Resort Studio rooms are located in the Big Pine Key building which is very close to the main building. The location makes it very convenient to get to the dining options and transportation. Not only is the building close to the main building but it's also across from the Courtyard Pool and Courtyard Pool Bar. Resort Studio rooms are located in the Big Pine Key building When you enter Big Pine Key, you're greeted with a simply lovely lobby. The furniture is super cute and gives off a very cozy, chic vibe. There's lots of pastel colors with floral prints and touches of nature. Lobby seating area in the Big Pine Key building The chic, nature inspired vibe continues down the hallways and into the Resort Studio rooms. I couldn't love these r...

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, the agents 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. We 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! We arrived to a welcome basket of various fr...

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...
