A Beginner’s Guide to Adventureland

Adventureland is located in Magic Kingdom.

The Jungle Cruise in Adventureland is a lot of fun!

Rides: On the Jungle Cruise you ride on a boat on the Amazon River and see some awesome fake animals. If you have a tour guide that is friendly and fun you will have an amazing experience. I love this ride because it’s fun and relaxing. The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are based on the Pirates of Caribbean ride. Jack Sparrow makes a surprise appearance at least three times. During the beginning of the ride there is a drop. (It’s a small drop.) Basically, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride shows a pirates life style.

The backside of water! (once you go on the ride, you’ll get the joke)

The Enchanted Tiki Room is a show with audio-animation birds. It’s almost never crowded so if you want to escape from the crowd this is your place! In The Magic Carpets of Aladdin you get to fly on a magic carpet and chose if you want to get up or down. This ride may be for little kids but it’s really fun! Here’s a little tip while you’re on the ride: the camels that surround the ride actually squirt water! This overall is a very relaxing ride! I have never done the Swiss Family Treehouse but I do know that you have to walk the entire time. I do not have any interest in trying it because it’s just MORE WALKING and you will be doing enough walking at Disney World.

Jack Sparrow!!!!!

Entertainment: In Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Tutorial, Captain Jack Sparrow and Mack his shipmate will teach you how to become a pirate on his crew. Last time we went Disney World my brother Al did it and he loved it.

Al’s scroll!

Food: The Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen has many different themed rooms. A hidden secret meeting room, a dining room, and a crew mess room. The food their is really good! Tortuga Tavern is a pirate themed restaurant and a counter service dining. Sunshine Tree Terrace has many snacks such as chocolate chip cookies, chocolate or vanilla ice cream, orange slush, juice, and raspberry lemonade slush. Aloha Isle has the one and only DOLE WHIP!! A dole whip is a pineapple soft-serve ice cream that you can get as ice cream or in a float.

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

Shopping: Agrabah Bazaar is great if you like the movie Aladdin. You will find Aladdin merchandise. Bwana Bob’s is located just when you enter adventureland. It has hats and Minnie ears. Island Supply by Sunglass Hut is just sunglasses. Pirate’s Bazaar has Pirates of the Caribbean merchandise and accessories. Zanzibar Trading Company has safari hats and plush animals.

Chicken Guy! Review

Posted on the wall are tons of sauces for dipping!

Chicken Guy! by Guy Fieri is located in Disney Springs. Chicken Guy! has chicken tenders with your choice of three sauces, but there are tons of sauces that you can choose from and they are all listed on the wall with funny pictures.  (Click here for a list of sauces.) Chicken Guy! also has sandwiches. My favorite sauce is the barbecue sauce. As you are eating a worker comes by and gives you even MORE SAUCES!!

Guy Fieri with Izzy and Al!

The restaurant is decorated with chickens with sunglasses and pictures of Guy Fieri. I like the way this restaurant looks because it looks different and unique. You can even take a picture with Guy Fieri!

The food is really good! Since the restaurant is new it’s very crowded. When we went back in August we struggled finding a table. Just be prepared if it is crowded and takes a while to find a table.

We usually don’t go to Disney Springs but we were really excited about Chicken Guy! If you’re like us and don’t go to Disney Springs then go over to Disney Springs and try Chicken Guy!

A Beginner’s Guide to the World Showcase: Spotlight on The United States of America

The United States of America pavilion is a very interesting pavilion since it has two shows.

Food: The USA pavilion does not have any table service restaurants, but it does have a counter service restaurant. Liberty Inn has chicken tenders, fruit, hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, and for dessert apple pie or ice cream. Fife & Drum Tavern has hot dogs, smoothies and turkey legs. Funnel Cake stand literally has funnel cakes. Delicious!!!!!

Shopping: The Heritage Manor Gift Shop has pins, toys and art. Hint! Outside of the shop is the Kidcot Fun Stop.

Voices of Liberty

Entertainment: The USA pavilion has a show called The American Adventure. Before the show starts, stop by early and hear the Voices of Liberty. They perform patriotic songs inside in the air conditioning. At The American Adventure, Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain tell you about American History. At the end, they play a catchy song! Also inside the USA pavilion building is the American Heritage Gallery, with American Indian art. Across from The American Adventure show is the America Gardens Theater. It performs different shows and concerts.

A Beginner’s Guide to the World Showcase: Spotlight on Norway

Who knew that Norway could be so warm? Norway is a popular destination since you can meet and greet Princess Anna and Queen Elsa from the movie Frozen. Norway looks just like a Norwegian town square.

Food: Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is the perfect place for princesses! Here you can meet princesses for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You should probably have a dining reservation because it gets crowded here so don’t be surprised to be waiting for a while. You can also find sandwiches and pastries at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe. I would recommend trying the School Bread from here.

Entertainment: The Norway Pavilion has a popular ride called Frozen Ever After. This line is REALLY LONG!! First, you will see Olaf and Sven decorating for the Winter Festivals. The grandfather troll tells the tale of how Anna and Kristoff meet. Towards the end of the ride Elsa is singing Let It Go, then the ride starts going backwards! What a pleasant surprise! Afterwards, you can go meet Princess Anna and Queen Elsa at the Royal Sommerhus.

Shopping: The Wandering Reindeer has Frozen toys, clothes and much more! Curious and Collectibles has interesting books on trolls, Vikings and much more such as clothes and toys.

Vikings!

A Beginner’s Guide to the World Showcase: Spotlight on the United Kingdom

United Kingdom is full of cobble-stoned streets that makes you feel like you’re in the United Kingdom.

What’s not to love?

Food: On my last trip to Disney World I went to Rose & Crown Dining Room. We always sit outside which has a ceiling. I recommend siting outside because you get a great view of the World Showcase Lagoon. I had the English Trifle. It has layers of strawberries, vanilla custard, graham crackers, and whipped cream with Mickey Mouse sprinkles. Yum!!

Shopping: In the Toy Soldier shop you will be able to buy basically anything that has to do with a soldier. Such as swords, shields, real feather quills, children books and movies from the UK. Hint! The Toy Solider store has the Kidcot Fun Stop. The Queen’s Table has books and music from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. If you like books like me, you will be interested in this store. Calling all soccer fans! The Sportsmans’ Shop has everything to please soccer and rugby fans with jerseys, balls, books, and hats. My brother who is a big soccer fan loves this store! If you love tea, biscuits, and candy The Tea Caddy is for you!

You can meet Mary Poppins!

Entertainment: The UK pavilion does have a band called British Revolution that draws crowds with their great songs. They also have a four-person group called Quicksteps that plays the fiddle, flute, highland bagpipes and an Irish frame drum. You can also take a picture with Alice from Alice in Wonderland or with Mary Poppins.
