C’mon, who decided to deem National Buffet Day the day after many of us resolved to get into better shape?🤷‍♀️🥗 But here we are and if there’s one thing Disney knows how to do, it’s how to serve an epic buffet. Today, let’s talk about the options you have OUTSIDE of the parks at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels. Here’s a solid line-up for breakfast, lunch and dinner options:

🍳Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge for breakfast. No characters here, but the food selection is amazing!

🍓1900 Park Fare at Grand Floridian Resort & Spa for an early lunch (they serve breakfast/brunch until12pm before closing until 4pm for dinner). Lot’s of variety, strawberry soup and plenty of character!

🌺‘Ohana at Polynesian Village Resort for good food (OK, not a true buffet, but it is all you care to enjoy), incredible ambiance and stick around for fireworks viewing along the beach!

Happy New Year, friends! 🎉✨
I know we’re all still a little dazed from last night’s countdown and maybe a bit too much onion dip 😋 (no judgment, same here). But hear me out—there’s no better time than right now to start thinking about making your own magic by booking your 2025 vacation. Why? It helps with the post-holiday blues and definitely has its benefits, such as:

🗓️Better Availability: Booking early gives you first dibs before everything gets snatched up.

🤑Budget-Friendly Planning: Planning ahead means more time to save, strategize, and snag deals as they come along.

⏳That Glorious Trip Countdown: Having a trip countdown is a form of self-care!
