Disney Expanding Cancellation Fees to All Table Service Restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort

For the last two year Disney has enforced a monetary penalty for failure to provide a 24-hour notice of a reservation cancellation at Walt Disney World's signature restaurants.

Starting at the end of this month that penalty - $10 per person - will be extended to all table service restaurants at Walt Disney World.

Spend Some Quality Time Exploring the Wonders and Beauty of the Morocco Pavilion

One of the most beautiful and intriguing pavilions in World Showcase is Morocco. But without a "major" attraction, it often suffers from lack of attention as guests rush past as they hurry to France or Japan on either side.

Morocco opened in 1984 and was the first "expansion" pavilion added to World Showcase after the park opened two years earlier. Three Moroccan cities are meant to be represented in the pavilion - Fez, Casablanca, and Marrakesh.

Start Your Tour of Mexico inside the Heart of a Pyramid

When entering World Showcase from Future World you have two directional choices. You can tour clockwise and start in Mexico or you can tour in a counterclockwise direction starting in Canada.

Today we're going to visit Mexico, which is one of the more unique pavilions in World Showcase. What makes this pavilion different from the others is that aside from the outside dining on the lagoon and a few shops, the rest of the pavilion is inside the Mesoamerican pyramid that is the centerpiece of the pavilion.

Aqua Fresca at Epcot's Via Napoli

We cover a lot of bars, lounges and cocktails here on Walt Disney World for Grown Ups, but drinking at Disney can be an adventure even for those who don't imbibe in alcohol too. In the past I've covered a few fun mocktails on the Disney Bar Menu, and Le Few's Brew in the New Fantasyland.

Four Fantastic In Park Breakfasts at Walt Disney World

When talking about Disney Dining there's often a big focus on what's for dinner, sometimes we tend to forget that there are other meals in the day. At heart, I'm a breakfast girl, and some of you out there may be as well, after all "they" say it's our most important meal. I love all sorts of breakfast foods, and with late nights at the park my family tends to sleep in and often we don't even get out of the room before 10:00am.

A Grown Up Princess Breakfast at Akershus

I love a good character meal, and over my last several trips to Walt Disney World I've made a point of trying a new one every time. In October I made reservations for the Princess Breakfast at Akershus in Epcot's Norway Pavilion. I must admit I was a little reluctant to book here because I'm not always the most adventurous eater, and the thought of Norwegian food made me a little nervous.

A Walk Down Main Street USA

Main Street, U.S.A. is the first "themed land" inside the main entrance at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and other Disney Parks around the world. As you walk beneath the train station overhead, you cross through a portal to another time. You notice that there's a Victorian theme throughout Main Street, yet the architectural styles represent several distinct areas of the country.

The love of Disney Food is celebrated every day with the enormously popular Disney Food Blog, where they declare that "food IS a theme park." How then do you make sure that you're getting the best value out of your Disney food dollars? Many people look to the Disney Dining Plan.
