My Top Five Favorite Things About Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

 Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is a Disney resort that I really enjoyed staying in. Today, I will be sharing with you some of my favorite things about this resort.

5. My fifth favorite thing about this resort is Sanaa. Sanaa is a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge that serves African and Indian inspired dishes. The food here is really good and the bread service is well known, so don’t forget to try the bread service when you visit!

4. My fourth favorite thing is the other restaurant, The Mara. The Mara is a quick service restaurant which means it is not a sit down restaurant. I really enjoyed my food here and I actually liked The Mara better than Sanaa. The Mara is also well known for its Zebra Domes, so be sure to get those.

3. The third thing that I liked about this resort is all the African designs. The designs can be found all through out the resort and I just really like how much detail was put into Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

2. What makes this resort unique is how you can see animals from your balcony!

  1. The best thing about Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is how close the resort is to Animal Kingdom. This is important because being close to Animal Kingdom can help save time in the morning and help you get more rides done.

I think Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is a great resort that you should definitely stay at while you are in Disney World!

Pizza al Taglio Review

Pizza al Taglio is located in the Italy pavilion.

Pizza al Taglio is really cool because you can order pizzas that are served at Via Napoli. Instead of getting a big pizza, you get a slice of pizza. Also, Pizza al Taglio is not a sit down restaurant. You order the pizzas by going to a walk-up window.

We all shared two slices of pizza. The first one we got was a pepperoni pizza. It tasted really good! The crust of both pizzas tasted a little buttery.

The other slice we got was a cheese pizza. I really liked how cheesy the pizza tasted.

I would give Pizza al Taglio 5 Mickey Bars!

Encanto Review

I finally watched Encanto on Disney+!

Encanto is about the Madrigal family that live in a magical home named Encanto. Encanto gives all the children in this family special powers, everyone except for Mirabel. When Mirabel soon finds out that her home is in danger, she must go on a quest to find out how to save her home and her family.

Mirabel is a very likable character in this movie, which I think is very important since she is the main character. The whole time you are rooting for her.

The scenery in this movie was also stunning. This brought a magical touch to the movie.

The music in this movie was also SO GOOD!! My favorite song in Encanto was “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”. It’s really catchy and gets stuck in your head.

I would give Encanto 5 Mickey Bars! There are a couple sad scenes, but besides that I loved this movie!

Everglazed Review

Everglazed is located in Disney Springs and sells doughnuts!

These are not your ordinary doughnuts though. These doughnuts have all sorts of cool toppings on top, so make sure to take a lot of pictures!

Everglazed has outdoor seating.

This is the box that the doughnuts come in.

These are all the doughnuts we ordered. The doughnut with the bacon on top is called the Maple Double Bacon. It is a maple iced doughnut topped with bacon. The doughnut next to it is called the Classic Glazed. The purple doughnut is the Purple Glazed Ube. The sprinkled doughnut is called the Vanilla Iced with Sprinkles. The doughnut next to it is the Cookies and Cream. The Cookies and Cream is a vanilla iced doughnut that has Oreo cookie pieces on top as well as vanilla frosting and a big Oreo. The last doughnut is the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch is a cinnamon iced doughnut that has crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch, cream cheese frosting, and cinnamon sugar.

These doughnuts are really big and we had leftovers that we ate the next day. My problem with these doughnuts are that they are way too sweet.

My favorite was the Vanilla Iced with Sprinkles which disappointed me because I was hopping I would like one of the more interesting doughnuts more. If you want to get doughnuts with cool toppings, then I recommend going to Voodoo Doughnuts in Universal.

I give Everglazed 3 Mickey Bars! The doughnuts are too big and too sweet.

New Guest Blogger!

Hi everyone! You all know about Al, my younger brother. I have interviewed him before and he has given his opinion on restaurants at Disney World.

My schedule right now is getting VERY busy and I have decided that Al will be doing guest articles here on DisneywithIzzy! This does NOT mean that I am no longer writing articles for DisneywithIzzy. Al will just be a guest blogger sometimes to help me out.

Landscape of Flavors Review

Landscape of Flavors is a restaurant located in Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.

This was my first time ever eating at this restaurant and I am excited to be reviewing it with you! Landscape of Flavors is a quick service restaurant. That means that you order the food ahead of time and pick it up.

Al and I both had the Large Pepperoni Pizzas. We both love pizza so we enjoyed our meals!

My dad had the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger. That is a burger with bacon, cheddar, lettuce, and a tomato. He really liked all the flavors in his burger.

The Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger comes with french fries.

My mom had the Turkey Sandwich. This sandwich has turkey, mozzarella, sweet bell peppers, basil aioli, lettuce, and balsamic vinaigrette. This sandwich also comes with french fries, but instead my mom got a salad.

For dessert, I had the Cookies ‘n Cream Sundae Cupcake. That is a chocolate cupcake with cookies and cream buttercream, rainbow sprinkles, and chocolate ears. It was REALLY good!

I would give Landscape of Flavors 5 Mickey Bars!

Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Review

Homecomin’ is a restaurant located in Disney Springs.

Homecomin’ serves Southern style food. The chef, Chef Art Smith, used to be Oprah Winfrey’s personal chef.

I had the Chopped Pork Barbecue. That is chopped pork barbecue with sweet and spice barbecue sauce, mac and cheese, Southern slaw, and a cheddar drop biscuit.

This was a lot of food! After we finished eating, I felt completely stuffed. I think I would have enjoyed this meal more if there was less food. The mac and cheese had too much cheese and the mac and cheese was too big.

Al had the Fried Chicken Tenders from the kids menu. His meal came with chicken tenders, french fries, green beans, and carrots. He liked the way the chicken tenders tasted.

My dad had Art’s Famous Fried Chicken. The meal comes with mashed potatoes, but he asked for the mac and cheese instead. My dad was also stuffed afterwards.

My mom had the Fried Chicken Salad. This salad has fried chicken, mixed greens, pecan smoked bacon, eggs, cherry tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers tossed in dressing, croutons, and fresh herbs. She enjoyed her meal.

I would give Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ 3 Mickey Bars. We all agreed that it was way too much food.

The Book of Boba Fett Review

It’s time to review The Book of Boba Fett!

Before we get into the review, I would like to warn you that this review HAS SPOILERS for The Book of Boba Fett show.

This show starts off with Boba Fett claiming Jabba The Hutt’s territory. He is trying to gain respect from people and we also see flashbacks of how he survived falling into the Sarlacc Pit. We also learn how he survived in Tatooine with the Tusken Raiders. I did enjoy learning more about the Tusken Raiders and seeing the world from their point of view. I also think that the Tusken Raiders were killed off too early in the show. We spent so much time in the first few episodes learning about them and then they were just killed off so the plot could move forward.

I would give The Book of Boba Fett 3 Mickey Bars. I did like this show, but not because of Boba Fett. Boba Fett was really boring and he barely did anything. I felt like most of the other characters in this show were more interesting then him. Also, once The Mandalorian was in the show I felt like it started becoming more about The Mandalorian and less about Boba Fett.

I was really happy to see Grogu and was totally not expecting to see him. My favorite episode was when The Mandalorian went on a mission to see Grogu and we get to see him training with Luke Skywalker.

I was shocked to see Cade Bane and I do not think he is dead. Why would they bring back such a big character and then kill him after two episodes?

If you are a Star Wars fan, I would recommend that you watch The Book of Boba Fett!

An Olivia Rodrigo Documentary Is Coming To Disney+!

The documentary was taken while Olivia Rodrigo was on a road trip from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. During this road trip, she started writing songs that are now on Sour.
