Interview with a 9 Year Old

It’s that time!

Izzy: What was your favorite new ride in Disney World?

Al: Guardian of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind because I like the songs that it picks and it is super smooth and a great ride on its own. I like roller coasters and if you like roller coasters it’s a great ride to do.

Izzy: Is Epcot still your favorite Disney World park?

Al: Yes, because I like the World Showcase and eating all the different food they have and also they have some great rides like Guardians of the Galaxy, Test Track and Spaceship Earth.

Izzy: Can you rank your top five favorite rides at Disney World?

Al: Oh yeah, that’s easy. #5 Dinosaur, #4 Pirates of the Caribbean, #3 Test Track, #2 Rise of the Resistance, #1 Guardians of the Galaxy.

Izzy: What is your favorite restaurant at Disney World?

Al: Definitely Teppan Edo because they cook the food in front of you and it is cool to see them do all those tricks in front of you. And I love their shrimp.

Izzy: Which park do you like better, Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom?

Al: Definitely Magic Kingdom. There are more rides and it is more of the original park. It is really cool to see the animals up close in Animal Kingdom, but they don’t have as many rides that I like.

Izzy: What is the best ride in Animal Kingdom?

Al: Dinosaur but I really like the Kilimanjaro Safari too.

Izzy: What is your favorite thing to watch on Disney+?

Al: That’s difficult. Probably The Mandalorian because it is so well done and everybody loves Grogu.

Izzy: When we went to Disney last year, we stayed at Boardwalk Villas, Bay Lake Tower, Saratoga Springs and The Riviera, which hotel was your favorite?

Al: Boardwalk Villas because you can walk to Epcot or Hollywood Studios and when you leave the hotel you are on the boardwalk and there are lots of dining options nearby.

Izzy: Last year, we went to the pools at Bay Lake Tower, Saratoga Springs and The Riviera, which pool was your favorite?

Al: The Riviera, the slide at that pool was so good!

Izzy: Who is your favorite Marvel character?

Al: Still Spiderman.

Izzy: What is your favorite snack at Disney World?

Al: The Mickey pretzel is still my favorite.

Izzy: Last April we went to Universal Studios, what was your favorite ride?

Al: Hagrids because it is a smooth roller coaster with no bumps in it and I like how it goes around and you see different animals in the Harry Potter world, but I also like Spiderman a lot.

Primo Piatto Review

When we stayed at Disney’s Riviera Resort, we ate food from Primo Piatto.

Primo Piatto is a great option if you are in a hurry because you can order your food, pick it up, and go.

My parents had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. They enjoyed their food.

I had the Croque Monsieur. That is a sandwich with swiss cheese and ham. What was interesting about this sandwich was how the cheese was on the outside of the sandwich, instead of on the inside. While this made the sandwich unique, it made it difficult to eat the sandwich. It was also too cheesy.

Al had the Chicken Strips from the kids menu. He thought the chicken strips were delicious.

I give Primo Piatto 4 Mickey Bars!

Disney’s Riviera Resort

Disney’s Riviera Resort is a new resort that I stayed at for the first time!

This resort is inspired by Walt Disney’s travels to Europe. Disney’s Riviera Resort is supposed to look like the French and Italian Riviera.

We arrived when there was a bad storm, so there were some Disney characters in the lobby that were comforting people.

Here are pictures from the room we stayed in:

Here are pictures from the bathrooms:

Disney’s Riviera Resort has three different places where you can eat: Topolino’s Terrace, Le Petit Cafe, and Primo Piatto. We went to Topolino’s Terrace and Primo Piatto. I will be doing reviews on both of these places.

This resort also has a pool with a slide!

I really liked the way this resort looked and I think that you should totally stay here!

Here are some additional pictures:

Contempo Cafe Review

Contempo Cafe is in Disney’s Contemporary Resort and today we will be talking about the food here!

At Contempo Cafe you can order your food and then eat it on the go. That is what we did. This is a good idea if you want to eat something from Disney’s Contemporary Resort, but do not want to have a sit down breakfast.

You can even see the monorail go by!

Here is a picture of the menu:

My mom had a Blueberry Muffin. She loved her muffin.

Al and I had Cinnamon Buns. We both liked our food. I loved how much cinnamon was in mine.

I give Contempo Cafe 5 Mickey Bars!

Bay Lake Tower At Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Today we will be talking all about Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort!

Bay Lake Tower is connected to the Contemporary Resort by an outdoor walkway that is covered.

Here is the lobby when you walk in.

Here are pictures from the room we stayed in:

We had two bathrooms. Here is the first one:

Here is the second bathroom:

This is the bedroom.

We also had our own washing machine!

Here is the view from outside the windows of our room.

You can walk over to Disney’s Contemporary Resort to eat at California Grill, Chef Mickey’s, Contempo Cafe, Contemporary Grounds, and Steakhouse 71. We ate at Contempo Cafe and Steakhouse 71. I will be reviewing both these places in two separate blog articles!

My favorite thing about the Bay Lake Towers is how it is just a couple minutes away from Magic Kingdom. You can walk to Magic Kingdom!

You can also get really great pictures at night.

I think that you should stay at the Bay Lake Towers on your next trip to Disney World!

The Artist’s Palette Lunch Review

I already told you what it was like eating at The Artist’s Palette for breakfast and today I will be telling you what it was like eating here for lunch.

The Artist’s Palette is a quick service restaurant. That means that you order your food ahead and pick it up when it is done.

The Artist’s Palette also has tons of prepackaged food that you can buy.

I had the Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich with just ham and cheese. The bread tasted really fresh and I liked how the sandwich was still hot.

Al had the Chicken Strips with chips from the kids menu. He loved his food.

My mom and dad had Braised Meatballs. That is pork and beef meatballs that are cooked in a Pomodoro sauce with polenta, peppers, onions, and a grilled baguette. They thought it was delicious and I thought it looked really good.

The Artist’s Palette gets 5 Mickey Bars for lunch!

The Artist’s Palette Breakfast Review

The Artist’s Palette is located in Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa and today I will be reviewing it for you!

I went to The Artist’s Palette two times, for breakfast and for lunch. Today, I will be telling you my experience at The Artist’s Palette during breakfast.

We were given our food on a tray.

I had the Croissant Sandwich. The Croissant Sandwich has eggs, cheese, and bacon in a croissant. I was given maple syrup, but I did not use it. The croissant tasted really fresh.

My mom had the Country Breakfast Wrap. The Country Breakfast Wrap has scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, breakfast potatoes, sausage, cheddar, and salsa. She thought it was delicous!

Al had the Mickey Waffles on the kids menu. His meal came with a sausage. He liked his food.

My dad had Yogurt Parfait and Fresh Fruit. He thought the yogurt and fruit were good.

I give The Artist’s Palette 5 Mickey Bars!

Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort And Spa

Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa is the resort I will be telling you all about today!

This resort has five areas of rooms. These areas include The Springs, Congress Park, The Paddock, The Grandstand, and The Treehouse.

This resort is themed to look like Saratoga Springs. Saratoga Springs was a 1800s’ New York retreat which was known for its race horsing and spas.

Here are pictures from the room we stayed in:

This transforms into a bed.

This also turns into a bed.

Here are pictures from the bathroom:

These are pictures from the bedroom:

We had a washing machine and a dryer. This was really helpful.

This resort has many different places you can eat at including The Turf Club Bar and Grill, The Artist’s Palette, The Paddock Grill, and Chip ‘n Dale’s Cafe. I went to The Artist’s Palette and will review it in another blog article!

There is also a spa at this resort called Senses.

This resort has a pool with a slide! I went to this pool and found it really fun, so I would recommend going to it.

I really enjoyed Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa and I hope that you enjoy this resort too!

Disney’s Boardwalk Inn Resort

Today I will be telling you all about Disney’s Boardwalk Inn Resort!

Here are some pictures from inside the lobby:

Here are pictures of the room we stayed in.

This is what you see when you first enter the room.

This was the book that was on the table next to the TV remote. It’s called One Day at Disney and tells the inspiring stories of people who work for Disney.

There was also a park map.

We had two bathrooms that were connected to each other. (Only one bathroom had a shower.) Here are pictures from the first bathroom:

Here are pictures from the second bathroom:

Here are pictures from the bedroom:

This hotel has a pool.

I give Disney’s Boardwalk Inn 5 Mickey Bars! The best thing about this resort is how it is walking distance from the boardwalk, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot! I would really recommend going to the boardwalk because there are tons of restaurants and entertainment that you can try.

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!

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!
