Dining at Disney — Disney Restaurants

Recently we dined at the Grand Floridian Cafe. This restaurant is located on the first floor of the Grand Floridian hotel near the back entrance. If you've never been inside this hotel, you really should visit it. It's a spectacular hotel both inside and out. The Fresh flowers placed in the lobby always amaze me. On this particular day the hotels were exhibiting their chocolate creations. We noticed two of them, one was inside the waiting area of 1900 Park Fare, which is a character dining experience also on the first floor of the hotel. And yes this is 100%...

Today we talk about one of our favorite restaurants located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. It's Jiko, The cooking place. Jiko is a Fine/Signature Dining restaurant at Animal Kingdom with a seasonally changing blend of African, Indian and Mediterranean cuisines. It's open for dinner only Saturday through Sunday 5:30 until 10:00 p.m. Reservations can be obtained up to 180 days prior to your visit. 407-938-4733 In one of my previous posts I did some extensive photos and information about the Animal Kingdom Lodge where it's located so you can visit that post for more information about the hotel. According to the number...

 So since I did a short post earlier today I thought I'd do another short one for today. Both locations are in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World. This is Savannah Bee Company. It's a cute little shop that sells, what else, Honey? Lots and lots of honey and items made with honey.   It's located across from Paradiso 37 and was the stop we made on our way out the other day. Savannah Bee Company has been a favorite of mine for many years. I was very happy to see they had a store opening in Disney Springs as I've...

 Today's post is short and sweet, pun intended. We recently visited the Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream kiosk at Disney Springs West Side. This location use to be in the larger building, but moved to a stand alone kiosk just a little bit east of the old location. We actually had to get out our My Disney App to find it as it's pretty well hidden now but near the YeSake, Jeoffrey's and Wetzel's Pretzels Kiosks now. It's pretty easy to see if you are coming from the parking lot, but if you are coming from the bridge from the other side it's...

Recently we visited Paradiso 37, the last time we were here was just after it opened in 2009. It's taken us a while to get back. Paradiso 37 is located at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World. Hours are: Daily 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Lunch 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sun - Sat Dinner 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sun - Thurs and 4 p.m. to 12 p.m. Fri - Sat Bar 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.   Outside the bar entrance was this sign outlining nightly entertainment and food. We didn't realize there were two entrances, there's the...
