An Intimate Dining Experience at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa

There is a little known gem in Walt Disney World called an Intimate or Private Dining Experience at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. I first learned about it here on the WDW for grown ups forum (which I would encourage everyone to join as its a great source of information, and everyone is super friendly!), I saw another member mention it and as it was something I had never heard of, I asked some questions to find out more.

Spend Some Quality Time Exploring the Wonders and Beauty of the Morocco Pavilion

One of the most beautiful and intriguing pavilions in World Showcase is Morocco. But without a "major" attraction, it often suffers from lack of attention as guests rush past as they hurry to France or Japan on either side.

Morocco opened in 1984 and was the first "expansion" pavilion added to World Showcase after the park opened two years earlier. Three Moroccan cities are meant to be represented in the pavilion - Fez, Casablanca, and Marrakesh.

Start Your Tour of Mexico inside the Heart of a Pyramid

When entering World Showcase from Future World you have two directional choices. You can tour clockwise and start in Mexico or you can tour in a counterclockwise direction starting in Canada.

What makes this pavilion different from the others is that aside from the outside dining on the lagoon and a few shops, the rest of the pavilion is inside the Mesoamerican pyramid that is the centerpiece of the pavilion.

Where to Eat at Epcot – Tangierine Café in Morocco Pavilion

One of my absolute favorite "quick service" locations in all of Epcot is the Tangierine Cafe in the Morocco Pavilion. From the authentic and delicious food to the great seating areas - inside and out - this location is always top on my list when I'm visiting Epcot.

Apple Crisp at Columbia Harbor House

Everybody has their favorite snacks at Walt Disney World, and when touring the Magic Kingdom some fabulous fan favorite come immediately to mind. Dole Whip, Turkey Legs, Cinnamon Rolls, and Corn Dog Nuggets are just a few of the treats that you'll hear folks raving about. While on vacation in June I discovered a brand new (to me) sweet treat that will make my list of "must eats" for many trips to comes.

Lunch at Chefs De France Has An Authentic Atmosphere

There are so many places to eat in Epcot it can be trouble choosing which restaurant to try. When you add in the ones that are a must visit on every visit it can be hard to try and fit in new places. On our most recent trip we finally were able to squeeze in a meal at Chefs de France. It's been on the must-try list for some time now however it took a while to reach the top as we visit the 'real' France frequently and were worried that it wouldn't compare.
