It is easy to dismiss a trip to Oga’s Cantina. It is in high demand and difficult to get reservations. It’s specifically themed to Star Wars and maybe you are not a Star Wars family. There are only drinks served besides a few snacks. But it is so fun that everyone in your family will enjoy it. It is an exciting little break during a busy day in Hollywood Studios. Disney Dads know that their Walt Disney World Vacation must include new, different and exciting options.
The atmosphere inside Oga’s Cantina is awesome. Guests are served in a space port and all the details are amazing. And for Star Wars fans it is authentic and wonderful. We went once with people who had never seen Star Wars and they still had a blast.
But the real story here is that the drinks are inventive and fun. They serve two types of drinks. Each come either with alcohol or without. Concoctions are drinks, while provisions are more like a gelatin. The flavors are bold and unique. Some of the kids’ drinks have carbon ice on the bottom that provides an endless stream of bubbles and giigles.
Oga’s Cantina may seem like too much effort and may get lost in your planning routine. But do not write it off because you are not sure if your clan is going to enjoy it.
Sleepy Hollow is a not so hidden anymore gem in Magic Kingdom. It is located in Liberty Square just outside Cinderella’s Castle. They sell breakfast snacks all day. The funnel cake is unbelievable. Even when the line is long, it moves quickly. There are tables available to sit and eat outside.
Waffles with Fruit, Funnel Cake, Sweet & Spicy Chicken, and Chips
After breakfast hours, Sleepy Hollow has additional items. There are freshly made chips and a delicious sweet and spicy chicken waffle sandwich. Guests can also get a corn dog or a turkey leg.
Sleepy Hollow is a great spot to grab a quick meal. It is much less expensive and faster than other quick service options. The breakfast foods are so tasty and fulfilling. They also satisfy my sweet tooth. The table area in Liberty Square is lively and the scenery is gorgeous.
So Happy
Sleepy Hollow is easy to walk past in the hustle through Magic Kingdom. It is a bit of a hole in the wall in Liberty Square and not enough people know what they are missing. We often rope drop a few rides and then head over for breakfast.
Located within Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a fantastic character buffet. Chef Mickey’s is a perfect complement to a day at Magic Kingdom.
The breakfast buffet is the way to go. There is evey breakfast staple and anything you could want. Reservations can be made 60 days prior to the first day of your Resort stay. Chef Mickey’s is open to everyone, it is not just for guests at the Contemporary. It is so convenient to get to from Magic Kingdom. It is about a 10 minute walk or an exciting trip on the monorail. I like to make a morning reservation and go before entering the park. Then we aren’t even hungry for lunch and have a few snacks to get to dinner. So it is definitely not taking up too much of your day.
Mickey and friends come and visit the table and it is one of the best spots in all of Disney World to get photos with them.
Disney World Vacations are magical. They are wonderful. There is so much that goes into the vacation. Besides the obvious cost, there is the planning and researching, booking park and dining reservations and hours and effort spent just thinking about everything. But all that hard work is worth it. Disney Dads know that their family will create memories to last a lifetime. Disney Dads also know to not listen to the critics.
There are too many negative reviews and posts about Disney World. While there are things that go wrong, or ideas that don’t come to fruition, Disney World has the absolute best customer relations anywhere. There are so many people working there that love what they do and love to make your day magical. Disney has been in the game a long time now and they know what they are doing. So it frustrates me to read so many negative posts about them. They are mostly attention grabbing click bait stories. But they do influence people and it is sad that people might miss out on an experience because of something they read online.
The Disney Genie service is absolutely amazing. But I seem to read negative reviews and negative comments about it all the time. You can read my glowing review for a hopefully simplified explanation.
I have been inside Disney World many times. I have never experienced anything close to what some people complain about. Sometimes things go a little sideways, but the cast members are always so helpful. The performers in all the shows are always so great. They are energetic and engaging.
Animal Kingdom: Feathered Friends in Flight
My wife left her cell phone in a restroom. She went back in less than 5 minutes later and it was gone. I checked her location on my phone and it was at the front of the park. We walked over and retrieved it. My wife commented on how fast they recovered her phone and the cast member told us they have a great system. For them they just followed their procedure that was well designed. For us, it essentially saved our vacation.
On another occasion we were dining at Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios. Our reservation didn’t allow for much time to get to Fantasmic to get a good seat. So we were a little stressed when the kids wanted to wait for Vamparina and we must have just missed her when we came in. My wife simply asked the waitress if she knew when Vamparina would be back around because we wanted to get to Fantasmic. The waitress stepped away and came back with 4 printed Fastpass tickets for us. It was so wonderful.
