Kingdom Konsultant Travel Blog

Walt Disney World is known not just for its parks, resorts and top-notch service, but also for its cleanliness and presentation.  There's hardly ever a piece of trash in sight and the details that meet the eye are endless.  One of my favorite details to take note of are the gardens, blooms and landscaping found throughout Walt Disney World. Throughout the parks, flowers of every color and type can be found.  Each bloom is perfectly fit to its surrounding area.  In the Germany pavilion at Epcot, potted geraniums are hung from lamp posts throughout the area.  The Japan pavilion features bamboo posts and bonsai trees around the giant Koi pond. One of my favorite gardens happens to be in the United Kingdom pavilion. Arbor dressed with vines welcomes you to the path which winds through a charming garden.  It's so picturesque, one can't help of sitting down and enjoying afternoon tea here. While Disney's Hollywood Studios has its fair share of gardens, it'...

We all know that Disney parks are for "the young and young at heart".   Walt Disney's vision was to create a place where both adults and children could enjoy spending time together.  But is there such a thing as "too young"?  Many parents wonder how long they should wait until their children are the perfect age for their first Disney trip.  I'm going to let you in on a little secret- there is no magic number!  The perfect age for kids is whatever age they are right now.  From babies to teenagers, children of all ages can enjoy the magic. One common argument against taking little ones: " They won't remember it anyway. " While this may be true, the parents, siblings, and anyone else who comes along definitely will- and the memories they make will be priceless!  As you read this, moms in Disney Parks around the globe are tearing up at the excitement and joy on their babe's face as they meet Mickey Mouse.   Not to mention the o...

Downtown Disney is a great place for shopping and dining.   With what seems like an endless amount of stores and restaurants, there is something here for everyone.   Located in the Downtown Disney Marketplace at Walt Disney World is a restaurant that I am asked about quite frequently, which is T-Rex.   This is especially popular among those with children, and it’s not hard to see why! T-Rex is not just a restaurant, but also an experience.   One of the first things guests notice when entering the restaurant is the giant prehistoric creatures that make T-Rex their home.   Pterodactyls, larger than life jellyfish and a gigantic octopus hang above guests’ heads.   Be sure to keep your eyes on the octopus as he’s got his eyes on you!   A Woolly Mammoth family sits outside of the ice cavern, in which guests can dine (at room temperature).     And what would a restaurant called T-Rex without, you guessed it, a Tyrannosaurus Rex?!   Th...
