Picking a Hotel for Disney World

I've been doing Disney World so long I sometimes forget how hard it is for neophytes. Disney World Basics has a great article on deciding where you should stay in Disney World. I personally love the Disney Resorts like the Wilderness Lodge, but those can be hard on a budget. There are plenty of value resorts that are cheaper but still are better than staying off-site if you ask me.

Kouzzina by Cat Cora

I have been hearing about Kouzzina by Cat Cora for a long time, but I never realized she was from Iron Chef. I was pretty stoked to see a Sneak Peek of the Kouzzina Menu on the Disney Food Blog. I've actually been hearing a lot of good things about Spoodles, the restaurant that it's replacing, from people I respect, but having something new open is always exciting. We thought about going to Spoodles several times, but never made it there, maybe Kouzzina will be more exciting.

EPCOT Food and Wine Festival

September is a great time to visit Disney World for many reasons. Not the least of which is that they have the Food and Wine Festival, where you can eat and hang out in World Showcase which are two of my favorite things to do. For more information, check out the Food and Wine Details at the Disney Food Blog. Be sure to check out the special events page, which has details on all kinds of great events.

Disney World for Adults

So in case you haven't gleaned it yet, I love Disney World. I've never been to any of the other Disney parks, but the scope of Disney World seems hard to compare to. So I discovered two good articles today:

WDWForGrownups has a great Disney World for Adults article, for people like me.

Also WorthyPosts has a good article Keys to a Great Disney Trip that I would direct anyone going for the first time to.
