6/20/2023 0 Comments Best disney world packages 2017Get my tips for using Uber at Disney World in this post. We took a taxi several times, with trips between resorts ranging from $6 – $13. We thought is was fun, but if you are looking for speedy transportation you’ll have to cough up some extra money for a Uber or taxi ride. Getting to dinner at the Polynesian required both a bus trip and a monorail ride. We flew into Orlando and relied completely on Disney Transportation. Here’s one caveat: getting from resort-to-resort at Disney World can be a bit tricky if you don’t have your own car. Yes, this food court is worth going out of your way for! I’d also recommend Captain Cook’s at the Polynesian, The Mara at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary. On our recent trip we took a taxi over to the Art of Animation resort to have dinner at the Landscape of Flavors food court. You can also find excellent counter-service restaurants at the Disney resorts. Landscape of Flavors at Art of Animation Resort #3: Some of the best dining is found outside of the theme parks Storybook Dining at Artist’s Point – Wilderness Lodge – Snow White, Evil Queen, a few of the Dwarves.Trattoria al Forno (breakfast only ) – Boardwalk – Ariel & Eric, Rapunzel & Flynn, and more.Garden Grove Cafe (breakfast only) – Swan – characters vary (note that this location is not owned and operated by Disney).1900 Park Fare (breakfast and dinner) – Grand Floridian – Mary Poppins, Alice, and the Mad Hatter at breakfast Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, Drizella at dinner.Cape May Cafe (breakfast only) – Beach Club – Minnie, Donald, Goofy.Chef Mickey’s (breakfast, brunch, dinner) – Contemporary – Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto.‘Ohana (breakfast only) – Polynesian – Mickey, Pluto, Lilo, Stitch.Here is a summary of which characters you can meet at which locations outside of the parks: But it was way cheaper than visiting the Magic Kingdom for a day – which would have been $240 for us both – and the food was excellent! Dinner at 1900 Park Fare set us pack $100 ($56 per adult and $28 per child plus tax and tip). Keep in mind that you will pay a premium to eat with the characters. We all had blast and we will treasure the pictures for a lifetime! We also took the kids to meet Minnie, Donald and Goofy for breakfast at Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club. My daughter loved meeting Cindy again and really loved Prince Charming (hubba hubba). On our recent trip we had dinner with Cinderella and company at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian resort. “Character Dining” can be found at many Disney resorts, and gives you the chance to meet Mickey, Minnie, and many more favorite characters. You can meet plenty of characters at Disney World without a park ticket. #2: You don’t have to visit the parks to meet the characters You can visit any of the Disney resorts and check out the grounds and rent bikes there, etc., but the pools are only for guests staying at that resort. We planned on renting a fun surrey bike and cruising the kids around the resort, but we ended up running out of time to do this! Lastly, at Caribbean Beach and many other resorts you can rent bicycles and watercraft. Check out my post covering the Animal Kingdom Lodge resort activities here. The kids absolutely love the games and prizes, and the cast members who lead the activities are top notch.Īt some resorts, such as Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you’ll find resort activities scheduled all day long that range from arts & crafts to cultural immersion programs. Even the pools at the value resorts are large and well-themed, and all offer a kiddie pool of some variety.Īll of the resorts also offer pool-side recreation led by Disney “cast members”. The pools are a huge draw at all of the Disney resorts, so if your kids like to swim, they will beg to go to the pool every day. Actually, my daughter would have been content to do nothing more than swim and play at the pool the entire trip! We spent several hours at the pool every day. The main pool complex at Caribbean Beach is incredible – a large zero-entry, pirate-themed pool, two hot tubs, and a water playground for the kids. While all Disney resorts have incredible amenities, I picked this resort because of how much there is to do there with kids. On our recent park-free trip we decided to stay Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.
