Hollywood & Vine-Minnie & Friends Seasonal Dining is always going to be a family favorite for us. The restaurant features beloved characters in their unique seasonal looks that do a phenomenal job of interacting with guests. It serves tasty family friendly food that is perfect “theme park fuel” to keep you full and satisfied for a full day at the parks. It is just such a special restaurant, and one of those character meals that my kids will remember and associate with visiting Walt Disney World during the holidays for years to come.

There are a lot of reasons why a Disney Resort will be a family’s favorite. For some it’s a specific theme or type of accommodations. Other families stay at resorts for the pool or onsite activities. While some pick a resort simply for the proximity to a specific park. There is no right or wrong answer to which Disney resort feels like home to you. For my family that resort will always be Wilderness Lodge, especially during the Holidays!

Who says you can’t have fun at a theme park without riding a bunch of rides? Anyone who does, clearly has never been to the Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. These lands are so immersive that you can spend a whole day there without riding a single ride and still have an amazing day!
