Disney Quest an Indoor Arcade at Disney World

Disney Quest is a massive five story indoor video game complex in Downtown Disney at Disney World. It’s broken into different areas by theme.

For example one area is all pinball machines and another is all classic arcade games.

My kids favorite area is the game area that has all kid games like Chuck E. Cheese.

Animation Academy – Here on level 2 you will learn step by step how to draw one of your favorite Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, or Pluto.

Aladdin’s Magic Carpet Ride – Here you put on a special helmet and fly your carpet through the alleys and streets of Agrabah. In this first photo you see the thing you have to wear on your head. The visor then sits on the helmet. It is heavy and bothered my small kids a little.

Virtual Jungle Cruise – You climb aboard a raft and paddle with a real paddle down a prehistoric river. You even get splashed along the way

Another virtual game is a Star Wars game where you are fighting people with light sabers.

There are rooms full of race car games and they even have Star War airplanes you can race. They were surprisingly difficult to maneuver.

Disney World’s Yacht Club Resort

Yacht Club at Disney World

The Yacht Club at Disney World is in a prime location along the Boardwalk and just a short walk from Epcot. Here you will find rooms that can accommodate families of five and a 3 acre water park.

We loved staying here for multiple reasons, but the number one had to be the killer location. The Boardwalk is an awesome place to hang out and it's even more fun to stay right there. I think from now on we will always stay in one of the hotels along the Boardwalk. Our room was nice and we had plenty of room. There was nothing particularly striking about the room we stayed in.

The best part of staying at a Disney Resort is the extra magic hours at the theme parks. It's nice to only be in the parks with other Disney hotel guests. The lines are much shorter and for the most part there are no lines.

The second best part of staying at this particular resort is the pool. There's multiple pools, a lazy river, a large body slide coming off of a pirate ship, a beach, and more. You could just stay at this hotel and skip doing the theme parks if you wanted to. The pool will keep your kids busy all day.

Yacht Club Resort Room Photos

We had a regular room with two beds. Our room was nice, but I would rather have had a room with the couch. Since we did not get a room with a couch the resort provided a roll-out bed.

We almost had a view. I did not even think about asking for a room with a view. Next time I'll ask.

Disclosure: My room was provided by Disney while I attended a TravelingMom conference at this resort.

Ohanas at the Polynesian Resort at Disney World

Ohana is an absolutely wonderful restaurant at Disney World located inside of the Polynesian resort. Out of all the restaurants at Disney, I am going to recommend this to be the one you must go to. Ohana's is an all you can eat Hawaiian cuisine restaurant. The cost is $36 for adults and $16 for kids. So, our family of five ate here for $120. In my opinion this is a great deal. Wonderful food, awesome atmosphere, and you can see the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom.

You do not need a park ticket to eat here. Parking is also free for guests dining at the hotels restaurants. So, if you are in Orlando go eat here.

Here is what to expect:

‘Ohana Welcome Bread

Mixed Greens Salad with a Honey-Lime Dressing

Pork Dumplings and Chicken Wings

Meats are grilled over an open fire in the center of the restaurant including spicy peel and eat shrimp, pork loin, chicken skewer, and sirloin steak.

Noodles and stir fried veggies

At the end of your meal you will receive a heaping portion of bread pudding and it's to die for. I'm a dessert person and this is one of the best bread puddings I've ever had.

Magic Strollers – Orlando, FL

Magic Strollers is a great place to rent a stroller from in Orlando, Florida. You can do the whole rental online and it only takes a few minutes. They even rent baby carriages, a push chair or a baby buggy for those that don't want the jogging stroller.

Free Delivery and Pickup

They will drop the stroller off at your hotel and pick it back up. We actually stayed at two different hotels and they dropped it off at one and picked it up from the other. It was so easy!

Double Jogging Stroller

I choose a double stroller even though my youngest two children are 6 and 9. Disney World, Universal, and Sea World is a lot of walking. A LOT OF WALKING. It makes everything so much easier when you can push them around. I would encourage everyone to either rent a stroller or take a stroller for their kids. It makes everything easier.

Thankfully Magic Strollers has the kind with a higher weight limit, because my 12 year old also went for a spin. (And, yes he is playing on his iPod instead of enjoying the most magical place on earth!)

The stroller was easy to fold up and fit on the Disney trams without problems. In the 1st photo you can see that the stroller has easy to use handles.
