Walt Disney World is full of great little spots to grab a drink and a snack. Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at the Polynesian Village Resort is one my favorite places to escape the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. Here, you can enjoy the fun inside (I won’t spoil the surprises!) or you can sit outside on the patio and enjoy the sounds of the nearby waterfall.  My favorite snack is the Poke with chips. Yum!

Buy Meaningful Mementos How many times have we bought tacky souvenirs that we’re almost embarrassed to show anyone? Head to a local market and pick out items that will truly represent the local spirit. Or better, forego the extra expense and document your trip with beautiful photos instead. Keep a Diary Along with great photos; document your trip with a travel journal ...
