Where You Can Buy A Ginormous Pretzel In Disney World

At Disney World, there are so many different snacks to try! Today, I will be telling you about a snack so big you will want to share it with your family.

In Animal Kingdom, there is a stand called Pongu Pongu. This stand has breakfast food, a popular limeade drink called Night Blossom, and snacks.

We were in Pandora and decided to get a snack here. Except none of us were prepared for this!

We got the Na’vi-sized Pretzel. It was delicious and had the right amount of salt. We would recommend to get it if you are going to share it. We still had some leftover, so we saved it.

Will you be trying this pretzel?

My Favorite Roller Coasters At Disney World

I will be sharing with you my favorite roller coasters in Disney World!

5. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a great ride, even if you are not the biggest roller coaster fan. Why? This ride has a lot of turns, but no drops.

4. TRON Lightcycle / Run just opened in March and a high speed adventure! You will join Team Blue and go on a race against Team Red. This ride is crazy fast and everything from the queue to the ride feels like you are totally immersed.

3. Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain is a lot of fun! You are in the Himalayas and trying to escape the Yeti. During this ride you will also get a great view of Disney World.

2. I have recently become a big fan of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This is another new roller coaster. This ride can get really fast, so I if you are not a big fan of roller coasters I would say to skip this one.

My favorite roller coaster should be no surprise to anyone, Space Mountain. Space Mountain is a roller coaster in the dark. I love the mystery of this ride because you do not know what is going to happen next.

This Animal Kingdom Show Was… Interesting

At Animal Kingdom you can choose to watch a number of different shows. These shows include 3D shows like It’s Tough To Be A Bug! and this also includes live shows like Feathered Friends In Flight!

Feathered Friends In Flight! is a live show in Asia where animal behavior specialists show you how they train different types of birds.

I am going to be honest with you, I have walked past Feathered Friends In Flight! many times and I have never felt the urge to see it. I was mostly freaked out by the fact that these birds would be flying over my head, but on my last trip to Disney World I decided to try it.

The beginning of the show was ok. The two animal behavior specialists came out, introduced themselves, and we saw different types of birds flying around.

After that though was when things started going downhill. One of the birds broke one of the specialists mics. At first, I thought it was just apart of the show, but after a while I realized it was not. The specialist had to leave for a while to get a new mic and everything after that was really awkward.

The other specialist was still there and was trying to show that a certain bird can talk. Unfortunately, the bird was not cooperating and would not say anything other than “Hi”.

I was pretty disappointed because I had really wanted to hear the bird say something.

After that the other specialist came back with a new mic and the show continued. We saw more birds and birds flew over our heads.

I was kind of scared because there was one bird that was from another show that was sitting just above all of us and squeaking at all of us. There was a lot going on.

Now the real question is: would I recommend going to see this show?

Not really. I was pretty happy to leave. The show was unorganized, the birds were not cooperating, and the jokes were not making people laugh. If you really like birds then I would say give it a try, but do not say I did not warn you.

If you want to see a really good live show with live animals then go see Animal Actors On Location! at Universal Studios.

The Best Things To Do In Pandora – The World of Avatar

Here are the best things to do while you are in Pandora-The World of Avatar!

One of the best rides in all of Disney World is located in Pandora. I am talking about Avatar Flight of Passage! On this ride, you will get to ride on the back of a banshee and experience a beautiful 3D view of Pandora.

What you see while you are waiting in line.

Na’vi River Journey is the next ride I will be talking about. This is a boat ride where you get to go through the Kasvapan River of Pandora.

While it may not be a very thrilling ride, I still would recommend it because of how beautifully designed Na’vi River Journey is.

I would also recommend to look around Pandora and take pictures because there really is so much to see!

If you are looking for a place to eat, then you should definitely eat at Satu’li Canteen. This quick service restaurant has one of my favorite meals in Disney World, Cheeseburger Steamed Pods. The inside of the cheeseburger pods is ground beef, ketchup, mustard, and cheddar cheese. Delicious!

The Cheeseburger Pods!

Don’t forget to do these things while in Pandora!

The Best Rides To Do In Animal Kingdom

There are certain rides in Animal Kingdom that are so good, you have to do them every time you go.

The first ride I will be talking about today is Dinosaur. On Dinosaur, you will go back in time to rescue the Iguanadon dinosaur before the meteor hits. I love all the twists and turns on this ride. I would recommend doing this ride because it is very thrilling without being a roller coaster.

The next ride I will be talking about IS a roller coaster. Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain is set in the Himalayas where you are trying to escape the Yeti. Will you be able to escape? You will have to go on this ride to find out!

Kilimanjaro Safari is, as its name suggests, a safari. I love going on this ride because it is really cool to see animals that you would normally never see.

Let’s head over to Pandora! Avatar Flight of Passage is probably one of the best rides in all of Disney World. You will fly on top of a banshee and take a 3D tour of Pandora. This ride makes you feel totally immersed and you really feel like you are in another world.

When you are in Animal Kingdom, make sure that you do not miss out on these rides!

Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain Review

One of my favorite rides in Animal Kingdom is Expedition Everest!

Expedition Everest is a roller coaster where you are in the Himalayas and trying to escape the Yeti. There are times on this ride where you are in the dark, and going backwards. The ride is completely outside.

One of my favorite things about this ride is the queue. I love how the ride is themed and the decorations in the queue really make you feel immersed in the story that Expedition Everest is portraying.

I also like the part of the ride that is in the dark. You suddenly hear the Yeti and then are going backwards in absolute darkness.

I would recommend this ride for anyone who likes roller coasters. If you are not someone who enjoys roller coasters, then this ride is not for you.

While at Animal Kingdom, do not forget to ride Expedition Everest!

The Best Ride To Do In Animal Kingdom If You Love Animals

Are you a big animal fan? If so, you will definitely want to read this article to find out what ride you must do in Animal Kingdom.

The ride you should do is the Kilimanjaro Safari!

On this ride, you get to see animals that you would see on a safari. It is a lot of fun to look for the animals.

Make sure to take a lot of pictures!

You can also do this ride many times because each time is a completely different experience. You might see giraffes one time and see elephants the next time.

Everyone can do this ride and it is one of the most iconic rides in Disney World.

My Favorite Restaurant In Every Disney World Park

Today we will be talking about my favorite restaurant in every Disney World park.

Let’s start in Magic Kingdom. My favorite restaurant is Be Our Guest. At this restaurant, you get to eat at Beauty and the Beasts castle.

I really love how you feel like you are actually in Beauty and the Beasts castle.

In Epcot, my favorite restaurant is La Hacienda de San Angel in the Mexico pavilion. I went to this restaurant for the first time on my last trip to Disney World. I have not reviewed it yet, but I will.

You might be wondering, why do I like this restaurant better than San Angel Inn? The reason is because while San Angel Inn is very dark and it’s hard to see your food, La Hacienda de San Angel has a lot of natural light from outside. My favorite dish from San Angel Inn, Queso Fundido, is also at La Hacienda de San Angel.

At Hollywood Studios, my favorite restaurant is Hollywood and Vine. Here you will be able to meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto for lunch and dinner. Hollywood and Vine has five different themed dining experiences. These include Silver Screen Dining, Springtime Dine, Summertime Dine, Halloween Dine, and Minnie’s Holiday Dine.

I think Hollywood and Vine is a great way to meet the characters at Disney World.

Finally, we have Animal Kingdom. My favorite restaurant is Yak and Yeti. This restaurant has delicious food and I also love how much detail was put into the way Yak and Yeti looks.

My favorite types of restaurants at Disney World are the ones where you have to come back a couple of times because of how much detail was put into it.

Now you know my favorite restaurants at Disney World!

Ranking The Mountain Rides At Disney World

Happy New Years!

Today I thought it would be interesting to rank the mountain rides at Disney World. This is just my opinion, so it is completely ok if you do not agree with me.

What are the mountain rides at Disney World? The mountain rides include Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Expedition Everest.

5. In last place, we have Splash Mountain. My main problem with this ride is that you will most likely get VERY wet. I am not a fan of getting wet on a ride. The good news is that Splash Mountain is going to be re-themed to Princess and the Frog!

4. In fourth place we have Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride always has a long line and the ride is so fast. It is only three minutes long. I would enjoy Seven Dwarfs Mine Train better if it was longer. Then, you will feel like it was worth waiting so long in line.

3. In third place, it’s Expedition Everest. This is the only roller coaster on the list that is in Animal Kingdom and not in Magic Kingdom. This ride makes you feel like you are in the mountains and I love all the drops and turns.

2. Next up, we have Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I really like Big Thunder Mountain. I like how the ride is outside. If you are someone who does not like a lot of drops on a roller coaster, this might be the ride for you. Big Thunder Mountain does not have a lot of drops, but it does have a lot of turns.

My favorite mountain ride is Space Mountain. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably saw this coming. I like how this ride is completely in the dark, so you can not see the track in front of you.

I hope you enjoyed this article!

My Favorite Ride In Each Disney World Park

Today, I will be sharing with you my favorite ride in each Disney World park.

First, lets start off at Magic Kingdom! My favorite ride is Space Mountain.

Space Mountain is on the left.

Space Mountain is a roller coaster that is in the dark. I really enjoy this ride because I love roller coasters and on this one, you can not see the track in front of you, so it makes the ride full of suspense!

In Epcot, my favorite ride is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

This ride just opened on May 27, 2022. I have only ridden it a couple of times, but it has quickly become my favorite. The Guardians need your help in order to get the Cosmic Generator back. This is one of the largest fully-enclosed roller coasters in the world.

At Hollywood Studios, I love Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. On this ride, you will team up with the Resistance and fight against the First Order.

This ride is incredible! My mom does not like Star Wars and she enjoyed this ride. I would really recommend trying Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance because you really feel like you are in the ride.

Finally, we have Animal Kingdom. My favorite ride in Animal Kingdom is Avatar Flight of Passage.

Avatar Flight of Passage is located in The World of Avatar.

On this ride, you will get to fly on the back of a banshee and discover Pandora. This is a really fun ride because it feels relaxing and you feel transported to another world.

These are my favorite rides! Now the real question is, what are your favorite rides in each Disney World park?
