Sanaa Review

Sanaa is one of the restaurants located inside of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

When we went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge in July, we went to Sanaa for the first time!

Sanaa is a very popular restaurant that serves African and Indian inspired dishes.

We first had the Indian-style Bread Service. That is five breads that come with many different types of sauces. Sanaa is known for its bread service, so when you eat at Sanaa, I would really recommend that you get the Indian-style Bread Service.

It was so good that we wanted more bread!

I had the African-inspired Biryani with Shrimp. This dish comes with vegetables, rice, and shrimp. I love shrimp, so I enjoyed this meal.

My dad had the African-inspired Biryani with Chicken. He thought it was really good.

My mom had the Samosas which are appetizers. She thought the Samosas were pretty good.

For dessert, I had the African Triple Chocolate Mousse. That is dark chocolate from Ghana, milk chocolate from Madagascar, Orelys Blond Chocolate, chocolate almond biscuits, and strawberries. It was DELICIOUS!

Al had the Pumbaa’s Dessert Grub. He thought his dessert tasted really good.

I give Sanaa 5 Mickey Bars!

Columbia Harbor House Review

Columbia Harbor House reopened on August 5th and we were lucky enough to be at Columbia Harbor House the day it reopened!

Columbia Harbor House is a quick service restaurant that serves seafood. It was my first time eating there and I can’t wait to review it for you!

Here are some pictures from inside the restaurant:

We had the Lemonade Slushy. It was really refreshing!

I had the Grilled Shrimp Skewer that comes with rice and green beans. It was great! The shrimp had a nice flavor to them.

Al had the chicken strips that came with French fries from the kids menu. He really enjoyed his meal.

My parents had the Trio Platter. The Trio Platter is fried shrimp, chicken strips, fish, and hushpuppies. They loved their food!

For dessert, we had the Minnie Mouse Chocolate Lava Cookie. It was so GOOD! I loved how the cookie had a lot of chocolate in it.

I give Columbia Harbor House 5 Mickey Bars!

The Mara Review

The Mara is a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. I went to The Mara for the first time back in July and can’t wait to tell you all about it!

The Mara has indoor seating…

…and outdoor seating.

We decided to sit outside since the weather was nice. I had the Tamarind Pulled Pork Sandwich. It comes with coleslaw (on the side) and French fries. It was delicious! If you like Pulled Pork Sandwiches, you should definitely get this.

Here is a closer picture of the coleslaw.

My mom and dad shared the Braai Chicken Flatbread. The Braai Flatbread has sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, pieces of chicken, bacon, red onion, mozzarella, and Saag Dahl Ranch drizzle. They said that they really liked all the different flavors in the flatbread.

Al had the Cheeseburger from the kids’ menu.

Zebra Domes are very well know so we decided to try them. The Zebra Domes were absolutely delicious! When you go to The Mara, you should try these!

I give The Mara 5 Mickey Bars!

Here are some additional pictures from The Mara:

My Top Five Favorite Things About Be Our Guest Restaurant

It has been a long time since I have done a blog article for My Top Five Favorite Things Series, so today I will be sharing my top five favorite things about Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom.

5. Be Our Guest has different menus for lunch and dinner. If you are going to Be Our Guest for lunch I think you should try the Croque Monsieur. A Croque Monsieur is a ham and cheese sandwich. I had it when I went to Be Our Guest for lunch two years ago and I thought it was delicious!

4. For dinner at Be Our Guest I had the Filet Mignon. It comes with green beans, carrots, and potatoes. This is delicious and I would recommend trying this if you are going to eat dinner at Be Our Guest.

3. I love how if you are eating in the ballroom it looks like it is snowing outside!

It’s hard to tell in this picture, but it looks like it’s snowing.

2. Last time I went to Be Our Guest I absolutely loved my dessert! For dessert you always get the Dessert Trio Platter. The Dessert Trio Platter includes a macaron filled with raspberries inside, white chocolate cup (it’s edible!) filled with the grey stuff with crisp pearls, and dark chocolate truffle that is filled with dark chocolate ganache.

You even get a picture of a rose and “paint” to color the picture. Except it’s not paint, it’s actually frosting that you can eat! You can eat the picture when you are done painting it.

The best part about Be Our Guest is how you can choose to eat from three themed rooms. You can eat in the ballroom, the Beast’s room, or the library. This is really cool because you feel like you are actually eating in Beauty and the Beast’s castle.

Be Our Guest is my favorite restaurant in Magic Kingdom so if you are looking for a place to eat in Magic Kingdom for lunch or dinner, then you should go to Be Our Guest.

My Top Five Favorite Things To Do When It Is Raining In Fantasyland

Fantasyland is probably my favorite land in Magic Kingdom because you can do so much in it even if it is raining.

5. My fifth favorite thing to do is watch the show Mickey’s PhilarMagic. This show is indoors and Donald Duck steals Mickey Mouse’s hat and is suddenly in other Disney movies! When the show is over you don’t have to go back outside because there is a gift shop.

4. My fourth favorite is The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh. In this ride you get to visit Winnie the Pooh and friends! This ride is great to do while it is raining because when you are done there is also a Winnie and the Pooh themed gift shop.

3. Under The Sea: Journey Of The Little Mermaid is a ride that tells you the story of the Little Mermaid. I really enjoy this ride and even better, it is INDOORS!!

2. Big Top Souvenirs is a ginormous store that sells Story Book mercandise. Even if you don’t want to buy anything you can still look inside of the store and you will be dry!

If you have been reading my blog for a while then you know that I love Be Our Guest. At this restaurant you eat at Beauty and The Beast’s castle. You can choose from three themed rooms and it is a great way to stay indoors while it rains in Fantasyland.

I hope you enjoyed my list and I hope it helps you while it rains in Fantasyland!

My Top Five Favorite Things To Do In The France Pavilion

The France pavilion is a pavilion with a lot of things to do!

Impressions De France is in between the trees.

5. The France pavilion has a show called Impressions De France. This show is NOT a 360 Vision show like the ones in the China and Canada pavilions. My only complaint is this show is a little outdated.

4. My fourth favorite thing is the acrobat show outside. This show happens outside of Chefs de France. I really like this show and I would recommend watching it!

3. There is a tiny stand called Crepes Des Chefs De France that sells amazing crepes! The best part is that the crepes are still warm when you eat them! You can read my review of this stand here.

2. I have to tell you now about the pastries at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie! Located inside of Les Halles, you can choose from many different pastries. I always get the macrons because they are delicious!

I really like the French restaurant called Chefs De France. I went to this restaurant last year and I really enjoyed my food. You can read my review of Chefs De France here.

I hope you decide to check out these shows, snacks, and restaurant because I really recommend them!

My Top Five Favorite Things To Do In The Germany Pavilion

Germany is another great pavilion to visit in Epcot!

5. My fifth favorite thing about the Germany pavilion is Glaskunst. This store located outside sells tiaras.

4. If you want an even bigger selection of tiaras than you should go to Kunstarbeit in Kristall.

They even have birthday tiaras! If you would like to learn more about tiaras in the Germany pavilion click here!

My birthday is August 31 so mine would be peridot.

3. My third favorite thing in the Germany pavilion is Biergarten. Biergarten is a buffet where you sit with other families. I really like this restaurant and I think the food is pretty good! If you would like to see my full review of this restaurant click here!

2. While you are eating at Biergarten a live band plays music! I really like that live music is played because it gives you something to watch while you eat. Don’t forget to go to DisneywithIzzy on YouTube to watch a video of this live band!

Now my favorite thing to do in the Germany pavilion is go to Die Weihnachtsecke.

This store sells Christmas decorations all year! If you would like to read my blog article about that click here! I feel like just looking at the Christmas decorations can make you happy.

My Top Five Favorite Things To Do In The Japan Pavilion

The Japan pavilion is one of my favorite pavilions to visit in Epcot.

5. My fifth favorite thing to do is look at Mitsukoshi kiosk. This little kiosk is tiny but it’s fun to look at. This kiosk sells fans, t-shirts, and Minnie Ears with the Japanese flag.

4. My fourth favorite thing to do is watch Matsuriza perform Japanese Taiko Drumming. This performance happens several times a day and you can hear the drumming from everywhere in the Japan pavilion.

3. My third favorite thing is Teppan Edo. Teppan Edo is a restaurant where the chefs cook the food in front of you. Last time I went to Teppan Edo I had Ebi, which is 10 grilled shrimp served with a garden salad, udon noodles, vegetables, and steamed white rice. All the food tasted delicious!

2. Bijutsu-kan Gallery is a display that teaches you about Kawaii, Japan’s cute culture. The display is really well made and it’s interesting to learn about how Kawaii is used.

My favorite thing to do in the Japan pavilion is the ginormous store, Mitsukoshi. I could look around in that store for hours! Mitsukoshi has fans, books to help you learn Japanese, Japanese candy, and much much more! Everything in Mitsukoshi is from Japan too!

If you are going to the Japan pavilion don’t forget to try these things!

Pizzafari Review

Pizzafari is a restaurant in Animal Kingdom.

Pizzafari has beautiful artwork all over the walls. It’s really pretty! We went back in August and I will tell you what we thought about our food.

I had a cheese pizza. It tasted just like a cheese pizza.

My mom had a pepperoni pizza. She said it tasted delicious!

My brother also had a cheese pizza but he ordered it off the kid’s menu so it was smaller.

My dad ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza. He enjoyed his pizza.

Everything on the adult menu comes with a Cesar salad so we had one t0o.

All food on the kid’s menu comes with grapes and carrot sticks. We also bought a chocolate chip cookie for dessert.

I give Pizzafari 5 Mickey Bars!! We all enjoyed our food and would go back.

Spice Road Table Review

Spice Road Table is in the Morocco pavilion. I went there back in August. Spice Road Table is one of my dad’s favorite restaurants in Disney World! You can sit either outside or inside. We always sit outside because you have a great view of the World Showcase lagoon.

We ate the Hummus and Imported Olives. It came with cornichons and za’atar pita bread. My dad loved it!

I had the Mix Grill Skewers on the adult menu. That is marinated beef and chicken, with garlic and fresh herbs with rosemary roasted potatoes. I always get this because it is so good!

My dad had the Lamb Sliders with hummus fries. We have been to Spice Road Table a few other times and he always gets the Lamb Sliders with hummus fries. It is one of his favorite meals in Disney World.

My brother had the chicken nuggets and french fries from the kids menu.

I give Spice Road Table 5 Mickey Bars!!! This restaurant is awesome!
