Now that we are local, one of our favorite Sunday morning stops, is Disney’s Coronado Springs resort. It’s truly a hidden gem and we love sitting in the shade, having our morning coffee and breakfast at this beautiful resort before getting ready for the upcoming week. It’s the resort closest to our house and only 12-15 min away! Kurt: “Even if we only sit here for a half hour, it’s like being on vacation for a half hour.” I couldn’t have said it better myself!

☀️☕️🌴 My rating is 10 out of 10 and Kurt an 8.5 out of 10. My rating is so high because it’s easy to park here, close to home, beautiful ambiance, and my beloved Cronut. Kurt’s is lower because he’s not a huge breakfast fan in general.

Since moving here in June, we have been looking forward to trying new restaurants on a regular basis. When we lived in CT, I would always plan for our family to visit some tried and true favorites but always add a new place or two as well. Recently, we tried Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante in Disney Springs for the first time. It was an absolutely beautiful night and we were seated right away. Our water glasses were filled with warm-ish water from a pitcher and in hindsight I wish I had asked for ice. I ordered a glass of moscato (my go to wine choice🍷) and it came in a chilled (almost frozen!) glass which was a very nice touch. Kurt ordered a Blood Orange Mule and his mug also came cold. We both really liked our drinks. We opted not to get an appetizer and ordered our meals right away. I was super disappointed that there was no bread service at all. I have come to expect that in Italian restaurants so I was bummed not to have any bread at all. 🥖🚫🤷🏼‍♀️I chose the bolognese and asked for spaghetti in place of the rigatoni. I also added a meatball because I feel like that is my deciding factor for a good Italian restaurant. I really liked the housemade spaghetti and the bolognese — the meatball was just okay. Kurt went with the chicken parm with penne. He said it was the best chicken parm he has had in a while! The portions were huge, we both have leftovers for lunch! 📝My rating is 7.5 out of 10 and Kurt gave it a solid 8. If asked to go again, we would, but we both prefer Trattoria al Forno on the Boardwalk. There was no option to sit outside which disappointed us as it was a beautiful Florida fall evening. Overall service was very good, food was good, drinks were great, atmosphere was nice and we can check this one off our list. ✅

💫What. A. Day. Woke up early to be at Animal Kingdom just after 7. Went on everything we wanted with short wait times. Headed to Magic Kingdom to buy last minute Boo Bash tickets. 👻(Yessss!) Back to the resort for a rest. Then to Magic Kingdom to do a bunch of rides that didn’t have long waits. Over to Polynesian for dinner at Ohana and to watch fireworks. Back to MK for Boo Bash until 12:30. Just got back to our room and are 💀💫
