There’s nothing better on a hot afternoon! If you find yourself at Disney California Adventure Park, then it’s time to make your way over to Pixar Pier for this refreshing cool treat. This is easily one of the best desserts at Disneyland Resort in our opinion!

The Pixar Pier Frosty Parfait is non-dairy lemon soft serve ice cream with blue raspberry slush swirl; it’s a large, shareable portion and our family of 5 recently shared one on a very hot California day and it was exactly what we needed. The flavors work really well together for layers of sweet, semi-sour, and mildly tart. The slush provides texture and a different consistency from the soft serve, and it’s all very refreshing.

During the construction of Disneyland, Walt decided that he needed a place to work and stay in the park, so the upstairs of the fire station on main street was built to fit his needs. It was completed by opening day, and it was from the window above the fire station that Walt watched as guest streamed into the park. Walt and his family spent quite a bit of time in the park during the early years, since there was constantly so much work going on.

While Walt wanted to keep his privacy, he decided that when he was in the park, he would light a lamp that was placed in the upstairs window of the fire station. Imagine during the early days seeing that lamp lit up as you entered the park! That meant there was going to be a great chance you may see Walt walking around the park that day, handing out “autographs.” What a treat that must have been!

On December 15, 1966, the day Walt Disney passed away, the light was extinguished to signal his death. The next morning, Walt’s lamp was lit again to signify his presence in the park (some say it turned on by itself), and it remains lit on a daily basis, only to be turned off on special occasions.

A few years after the opening of Disneyland, and as the park was expanding to add New Orleans Square and the brand new Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, Walt decided to build a bigger apartment above the entrance to the Pirates of the Caribbean. Walt died before the completion of this apartment, so it was never occupied by anyone in the Disney family. For years, this apartment was accessible to the public as an art gallery, and recently has been remodeled into “The Dream Suite”, a luxury apartment only used on special occasions for VIP visitors (or some lucky guests if Disney is giving away stays there).

Walt’s little fire station apartment is still there, stuck in time if you will, and is accessible from time to time via special tours (Adventures by Disney often visits there if you happen to be on one of their Southern California Adventures). The fact that Walt’s lamp is still lit on a daily basis just reaffirms that this is Walt’s park, and he is still there on a daily basis.

We always tip the "mousekeepers" at our resort because they are absolutely incredible. They do so much more than keep the room tidy, which is a huge job within itself! You will often find that your magical "mousekeepers" make funny animals and characters with the towels in the room. Some even make your kids' toys come to life while you are at the parks and you'll come back to see them hanging from the curtains in the window, reading a book or watching TV.

The general etiquette for gratuity for housekeeping ranges from $3-$8 a day. Since you may have many "mousekeepers" throughout your stay, you may want to leave your gratuity every night, although leaving one tip at the end of the week is also acceptable. Tipping is never required, but it is greatly appreciated for all of their hard work. Also, if you have a particular mousekeeper that goes above and beyond, you can also leave them a cast compliment in your “My Disney Experience” app.

Did you know that Disney Trivia challenges are available on Disney Cruises?

It’s a HUGE deal and can be VERY competitive! If you win, they will even give you some hardware to flash around the ship! But be ready, they usually ask around 20-25 questions and if you want a chance to win, you basically have to ace the challenge. Luckily we had some little Disney experts on our team to lend a hand.🚢⚓️🏴‍☠️🥇

🎬We love watching the “movies under the stars!”🎬

One of the many perks to staying at Disney resorts is being able to watch a Disney movie under the stars. On most evenings (weather permitting), you can take advantage of seeing a popular Disney movie at the resort’s outdoor theater area.

Sometime this area is poolside, other times it is outside in an open space near the main lobby.

If you are hoping to catch a Disney movie under the stars on your next stay at Disney World, here is where you can find them.

Where to Watch a Disney Movie Under the Stars:
•Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort at the Reel Spot
•Disney’s All-Star Music Resort at Calypso Pool
•Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort at Touchdown Football Field
•Disney’s Art of Animation Resort on the Green (building #5)
•Disney’s Pop Century Resort at the Hippy Dippy Pool
•Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort on Caribbean Cay Island
•Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort at the Lost City Pool
•The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort at the Campfire
•Disney’s Old Key West Resort at Sandcastle Pool
•Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside at Oak Manor Courtyard
•Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter Green (between buildings 5&6)
•Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge at Sunset Lounge & at Palace Library
•Disney’s Beach & Yacht Club Resort at the Lawn (near Volleyball Courts)
•Disney’s BoardWalk Inn at Community Hall & Village Green (changes each night)
•Disney’s Contemporary Resort at the Courtyard
•Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa on the Courtyard Lawn.
•Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort at the Ceremonial House Lawn.
•Disney’s Wilderness Lodge at the Marina.

We LOVE Disney Resort Scavenger Hunts!!!
At many of the Walt Disney World Resorts, there are scavenger hunts guests can participate in for free and win a prize. The prizes all vary based on the resort, but these are always a fun activity and great to do on a relaxing resort day, especially if it's raining (for some of them). To find out if your resort has a scavenger hunt, you can reference the activity sheet given to you at check-in or go to the front desk to get the sheets for the hunt. When you're finished with the scavenger hunt, you return to the front desk to claim your prize. Of course locations and prizes can change based on the given day and resort.
This particular hunt is at Disney's Beach Club and Yacht Club Resorts. After we found each item and snapped a picture, we returned to the front desk and showed a cast member our photos with each item on our list. We were all rewarded with a Disney trading pin!!!
Our family has enjoyed scavenger hunts at several Disney resorts over the years. There are so many activities around Disney World (many of them are free) outside of the parks. It's also always fun to work as a team with the ones you love most!

Let’s talk Resort Activities!

Make Your Own Kukui Nut Leis at Disney’s Polynesian Resort!!!🌺🌺🌺

Kukui Nuts have been used in Hawaiian culture for thousands of years, for everything from soothing skin to crafting necklaces for chiefs and kings. And now, guests have the opportunity to create their very own Kukui Nut leis on select afternoons in the Great Ceremonial House lobby! We stopped by on a sunny Wednesday afternoon and easily found the activity table set up in the middle of the lobby. This is a popular activity that draws a lot of interest from guests walking by, so it’s best to arrive at the beginning of the scheduled activity time if possible.

Leis cost $15 for a child-sized necklace and $20 for an adult-sized necklace. However, we found that the child-size lei will fit adults just fine. Anyone is welcome to join in this activity, and participants do not need to be Disney resort guests. Getting set up is kind of a slow process, as Cast Members can help only one guest at a time. When it’s your turn, they’ll tell you about the history of the Kukui Nut, show you an example of a whole Kukui Nut, and explain that the beads we’ll be using on our necklaces are actually hollow Kukui Nut shells that have been painted. Did you know that Kukui Nut trees are Hawaii’s state tree, and Disney’s Polynesian Village has several of these trees growing around the resort?

After selecting your necklace size and paying, you’re asked to choose your ribbon color - there are quite a few to choose from, and the Cast Member will cut your ribbon to size and seal the ends with a quick pass through a flame so they don’t unravel. Then, you’re asked to choose your Kukui Nut colors. There are multiple colors available, and the smaller child-size lei is made with 16 Kukui Nuts. They recommend that you stick to 3-4 colors, but you’re allowed to choose any combination of colors that you’d like. Some Kukui Nuts even have designs on them (one of our choices was a black Kukui Nut with a silver turtle painted on it). A few colors have limited availability, so the earlier you arrive, the more colors you’ll be able to choose from.

After making your selections, the Cast Members will put your Kukui Nuts and ribbon in a coconut shell bowl and hand it to you, along with a loop tool that you’ll use to slide the Kukui Nuts onto the ribbon. They’ll wait until they have a group of a few people ready to get started, then get the group seated together in the lobby. Then, a Cast Member will spend about five minutes with each group, teaching them how to make their leis. It’s a little complicated and not as easy as sliding beads onto the ribbon, so older kids can generally do this independently, while younger kids will need a little help. We had a fantastic instructor who spent time explaining each step with simple, clear instructions and encouraging everyone through the activity with lots of positivity. Once everybody seems to have the hang of it, Cast Members will leave you to finish the lei on your own but are still around to help if needed. Repeating each step until every Kukui Nut has been added to the ribbon takes about 20 minutes, and then you can return to the activity table and they’ll tie the final knot and turn it into a necklace.

Disney’s Polynesian Village is consistently dedicated to providing guests with authentic Hawaiian activities, and this is no exception. It was a fun and restful project to focus on and the completed Kukui Nut lei is a great souvenir. Anyone who enjoys jewelry making will especially enjoy this activity, and it’s a wonderful indoor option for guests wanting to escape the afternoon heat. Make Your Own Kukui Nut Leis is a fun addition to the Polynesian and a great way to immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture!

Make Your Own Kukui Nut Leis | Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 5:00-6:30PM | Polynesian Village | Great Ceremonial House Lobby
