For my next few posts I am going to be sharing some of my favorite snacks from around Walt Disney World!  The first I would like to share are the new Pongu Lumpia and Night Blossom from Pongu Pongu located in Pandora the World of Avatar. Pongu Lumpia is a pineapple cream cheese spring roll. It is a sweet treat topped with a sprinkle of sugar! The Night Blossom is a frozen nonalcoholic beverage that tastes of  Limeade with apple and desert pear. It is then topped with passion fruit boba balls. The tangy sweetness of the Night Blossom paired really well with the Pongu Lumpia in my opinion. Are you looking forward to trying these new treats?

Its spacious dining room features a thatched roof, mosaic designs, a fountain and a reflecting pool. Location: ’AMA‘AMA is located beside the Waikolohe Valley pool area, just steps from the beach.

A Favorite WDW Recipe! Most of us have our favorite meals at  Disney World  and  'Ohana  at  Disney's Polynesian Village  Resort seems to always be at the top of the list! My family is no exception, we love both breakfast and dinner at  'Ohana  and try to visit at least once while on vacation at WDW. One item that's on the dinner menu is their stir-fried noodles, this dish is a favorite among all of my family members. I stumbled across this copycat recipe not too long ago and it was a huge hit! This dish can be made as an accompaniment to a meal or a meal all by itself by adding protein (chicken and steak both work beautifully!). I hope you enjoy this recipe and it brings a little bit of Disney magic to your dinner table! 

Express Transportation at Walt Disney World                   Introduced late last year, Express Transportation at the Walt Disney World Resort is a paid option that allows you to easily go between the four parks with an annual pass or park hopper ticket option. This fast, nonstop service picks you up and drops you off inside the main gate for greater ease and comfort. There is no need to reenter the park main gate which saves time and walking!                   There are two Express Transportation tickets to choose from: a single-day for $19 or $29 for up to seven consecutive days. The four locations in each park for pick-up and drop off are as follows: ·        Magic Kingdom – near the exit of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Tomorrowland ·        Epcot – on the east side of Spaceship Earth ·        Hollywood Studios – the courtyard in front of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster ·        Animal Kingdom – near the Dawa Bar at the entrance to Africa The Express Transportati
