Disney Food Coma

Besides the great customer service, the innovative rides and the many memories made we ate our way through Disney! There were so many delectable treats to enjoy!

When we arrived in Disney we headed straight to Disney Springs, as you may already know, and enjoyed an incredible meal at The Boathouse. I chose it because it was the one of the highest rated restaurants in all of Disney World, and boy were the ratings right! From the mouth watering rolls that were warm and buttery, to the entrees, everything we ate was amazing. Little tip, we went at lunch because it’s a pricier restaurant and the dinner prices were a little more than we wanted to spend. That’s a little trick we often use when we want to go to fancier restaurants while traveling, because we are foodies and enjoy gourmet food but we are typically balling on a budget.

Besides the incredible food The Boathouse was decorated lavishly with boats as booths and all sorts of nautical and boat parts. My husband and I are boatsmen so we enjoyed that aspect as well.

After that meal we mainly snacked the rest of our time at Disney, and there were a few that were so good we are still talking about them!

So the the most memorable thing we had while at Disney World was with a decadent Chocolate Chiller from The Ganachery! This house-made delicacy is a beverage made with caramel, dark and milk chocolate topped with whipped cream and crispy pearls. It was so delicious my husband wished had come in a larger size

At the Ganachey we also has the S’more. The graham crackers are super soft. They are not your average graham crackers, they are easy to bite into, and are super yummy. The marshmallows are extra thick, and because it’s torched to order, the hot marshmallow easily melts the rich chocolate. Also there is a thin layer of salted Carmel Ganache on top of the hot marshmallow, which helps all the pieces come together in perfectly tasty harmony.

And last but certainly not least is the dole whip, which my husband and I had several times when we were in the Magic Kingdom. Dole Whip is pineapple soft serve amazingness. You can order it as a pineapple float, which has the soft serve plus pineapple juice or just the soft serve in a cup. You can also order it as all pineapple or pineapple and vanilla, for both the float and regular dole whip.

It’s such a simple and delicious treat that is so refreshing. The first time my husband ordered the half and half soft serve, and I ordered the all pineapple float, and we shared them both. My husband said he wish he had ordered the the all pineapple Dole Whip, and I loved mine. The next time he ordered the all pineapple soft serve and I ordered the same one, and our final votes were the pineapple float for me and the OG all pineapple Dole Whip for him. Be warned you will crave it at random times once you’ve tried it!

How To Make Your Husband Fall In Love with Disney World

My husband is not the kind of guy that gets jazzed up very easily. We are different in that respect. I have a child like wonder, I’m just a big kid at heart.

There is one thing that exhilarates him though, virtual reality. Which is why when I was at Disney with my family and I got to experience Flight of Passage I just knew I had bring my husband back to ride it.

So you have to have a little bit of background on Pandora Flight of Passage to understand how I determined it was worthy of getting my husband to Disney World. Flight of Passage is a cutting edge VR ride at Animal Kingdom that allows you to feel what it’s like to ride on the back of a Banshee. It truly blew me away, between feeling like your truly flying and experiencing the incredibly beautiful ecosystem from the movie Avatar, it was mind blowing good!

Since it opened about a year ago it has maintained waits times of 2-3 hours, so it’s definitely one you are gonna wanna grab a fast pass for as soon as you are able to book your fast passes. Both times I went I couldn’t get one until I was on property then a spot finally opened up, I just never gave up! Important to notate is you can only book a fast pass for one of the rides in Pandora, so if you can’t get one for Flight of Passage at first I would suggest not booking one Na’Vi River Journey and keep trying to get one for FOP.

So I used it as my golden ticket to get my husband to agree to a trip to Disney World. He was surprisingly easy to convince so I decided to plan the most magical Disney vacation ever. I went to work researching if there were any other amazing VR rides. That’s when I learned about the VOID, a full sensory immersive VR experience. Located in the Disney Springs shopping area.

They suit you up in helmet and body gear and a plastic gun. You are then put in a room and it begins. Inside your helmet you are transported to a galaxy far far away. Unlike most VRs where you are in one place in this you are walking around and you sit down and shot at stuff. It’s pretty insane that you do all that but you are in another world, and aren’t able to see yourself sitting down. You fight off the bad guys, sorry I’m not a Star Wars girl, and you actually feel the shots through vibrations in the gear.

It was awesome, I can’t really even put it into words. Let’s just say it was the perfect activity for the day we flew into Disney World to guarantee my husband was hooked on Disney as much I was. Disney Magic initiated, done and done!!
