One of my favorite ways of viewing the nighttime shows/fireworks at both the Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort is to attend a dessert party! A dessert party allows you a dedicated area to view the fireworks from (no more fighting the crowds or staking out a spot hours in advance) and provides delicious desserts to eat! There are a few different variations of dessert parties. This one is at the World of Color Dessert party in Disney's California Adventure!

🍫The Choco-Smash Candy Bar at Pym’s Test Kitchen in Disney California Adventure is a massive, indulgent treat made with layers of dark chocolate, peanuts, caramel, nougat, and brownie. It’s designed to look like an oversized candy bar, fitting the “shrinking and growing” theme of the Ant-Man-inspired restaurant.
It’s similar to a Snickers, but with more of a peanut butter flavor. It’s delicious, and very shareable.

📍Pym Test Kitchen $8.49

It's and one of my favorite ways to SIT DOWN and SAVE MONEY at Disney World is to share a pizza at Via Napoli.

Via Napoli is located in the Italy Pavilion at Epcot and is a fan favorite. The quality of the pizza is excellent and a large pizza can feed a whole family! This way we get an indoor sit down break, and we end up paying about what we would for four quick service meals.

I love ordering room service when onboard Disney Cruise Line! Room service is complimentary for most items (though a tip is still recommended)! Try ordering late night cookies and milk, an afternoon snack before the show, or a continental breakfast in the morning while you're still in your pajamas sitting on your balcony watching the ship pull into port! Or order a Mickey ice cream bar anytime of the day....just because you can!😉

Hurricane season in Florida is from June-November. Thankfully, it is a pretty rare occurrence when a hurricane will cause the Disney Parks to shut down. But, as we have seen this year, it does sometimes happen. What can you expect if this does happen during your trip?

The 'ride-out team' are cast members that stay at the resorts for these types of emergencies.

Some amenities the resorts may offer (depending on the resort):
- free arcade play
- extra crafts, movies, games in the lobby or community hall
- Disney character experiences
- Movies/shows are available in all the rooms
They will be stocked with water, food, and snacks but the menu may be limited.

Generally, power outages are rare due to multiple generators. So charging items likely will not be a problem, but it's wise to charge devices and backup battery packs while possible.

Park Hours: Even the day of, they may have restricted hours but still some rides and attractions / shows / activities may be running, though perhaps in limited capacity (such as Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular) and many outdoor rides like Everest, Slinky Dog, will be closed. Generally Disney is great about working with guests who need to extend their stay for safety or if you missed park days out of your vacation.

Room Type: If at all possible, based on availability, during a hurricane it is so convenient to stay in a resort that has an interior connecting hallway from the room to the lobby/restaurant. If the storm is severe enough, Disney may suggest guests stay in their rooms until it's clear, meaning those in resorts without interior connecting hallways may have to stay in their room during the worst part and this will limit your access to food and entertainment for a short while. (Though Disney is good about having "kits" available with food you can eat in the room plus having free movies on in the rooms and even discounting the games and puzzles you can buy in their gift shops.)
