I toured the renovated Wyndham Lake Buena Vista during sponsored retreats and want to share why I’d consider staying there. The value and amenities offered are awesome and make me consider staying off property on our next Walt Disney World adventure.

3 Reasons To Stay At The Wyndham Lake Buena Vista

1. Cost

The Wyndham Garden rooms start at rates comparable to or cheaper than a Disney value resort but with features that I think are more similar to a Disney moderate resort. The rooms were also much nicer than the basic budget rooms you find at Pop Century. Some tower rooms offer views of Disney Springs and the surrounding theme parks. The Wyndham does have a resort fee for all guests and parking fees for those with cars, keep those in mind when comparing prices.

2. Location

The Wyndham Lake Buena Vista is the closest hotel to Disney Springs, in fact, it’s just across the street. The Wyndham offers several dining options, a fun pool area and a Director of Fun that plans daily activities. However, the major benefit of its location is the proximity of Disney Springs. Disney Springs offers so much more to do including over 50 dining options, free and premium entertainment options like Splitsville Luxury Lanes and La Nouba by Cirque Du Soleil and over 100 retail shops.

3. Disney Fun

While the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista is not owned by Disney, it is an official Walt Disney World Resort which means it offers some official Disney fun. One of their more popular hotel features is the Disney Character Breakfast, three days a week. The character breakfast usually features a few of Disney’s Fab Five characters and is cheaper than character meals in the parks. Their “Director of Fun” will even pin trade with you!  You can also pick up official Disney merchandise in their gift shop and the hotel offers complimentary transportation to the parks.

I don’t know about you but I tend to obsessively research hotels before our trip. Even after we’ve booked our room, I love to read reviews and look for tips to improve our stay or issues I should be aware of. My review of Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside resort has been one of my most popular travel posts over the past year. I think lots of families are planning trips to see the mouse real soon!

I really loved our stay at Port Orleans Riverside. But because everyone has a different outlook, experience, and needs, I thought it’d be fun to round up multiple Port Orleans Riverside reviews. Check out all the Disney’s Port Orleans reviews below. I hope it helps you decide if you should book this moderate WDW resort for your next stay!

What’s your favorite moderate WDW resort?

Disney Springs may offer an amazing selection of dining options but this girl prefers Disney’s BoardWalk for a large selection of restaurants because of its awesome location. Located in between Epcot and Disney Hollywood Studios and surrounded by 5 Epcot area resorts, it’s easy to pop over for a meal while visiting either park or on the way back to your room.

Disney’s BoardWalk Table Service Locations

Big River Grille & Brewing Works

I’ve yet to try this family-friendly microbrewery but the Kobe Burger and Blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich look awesome. They also offer other adult beverages beyond beer, including mixed drinks and wine.

Trattoria al Forno

Trattoria al Forno is a casual Italian restaurant and the only sit-down restaurant offering breakfast on Disney’s BoardWalk. My mom and I had breakfast there last week. Beyond the traditional breakfast foods offered including Mickey Waffles, the cured Italian meats caught my eye because I am not a traditional breakfast food fan. It was a delicious brunch option for me paired with their fresh fruit bowl!

ESPN Club

The ESPN Club is one of my husband’s favorite Disney places to eat. With almost 100 video monitors and global satellite feeds, it’s definitely a fun place for big sports fans to eat and catch a game. The ESPN Club features classic American pub fare like hamburgers, seafood, and sandwiches.

Flying Fish Cafe

The Flying Fish Cafe is a fine dining restaurant which means it does require guests to adhere to a dress code and is also on the pricier side. Currently, it’s undergoing refurbishment with no opening date available.

Disney’s BoardWalk Quick Service Locations

Funnel Cake Cart

The perfect stop for your sweet tooth, offering funnel cakes, cotton candy and fried ice cream!

Pizza Window

Grab a slice or a whole pie, plus salad and drinks. 

BoardWalk Bakery

The BoardWalk Bakery is the perfect place to stop by for a quick breakfast on your way to the park or a snack on your way out of the park. This is also one of the rapid fill refillable mug locations. Refillable mugs include unlimited soda, coffee, tea and hot cocoa for $16.49 for the entire length of your stay at select resort locations.

Plus, at the BoardWalk Bakery, you can special order cakes if you are celebrating something special on your trip. They also offer the white and chocolate celebration cakes (just like most Disney restaurants) all… My mom and I were celebrating our birthdays last week during our trip, so we splurged on a white birthday cake. The BoardWalk Bakery even customized it for us!

The To-Go Cart

Stop here to grab a quick all American favorites including hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, buffalo wings, and nachos.

Leaping Horse Libations

Located near the Luna Park Pool at the Boardwalk Villas, Leaping Horse Libations offers sandwiches, drinks, and snacks.

BoardWalk Joe’s Marvelous Margaritas

Beyond a variety of margarita options, you’ll also find nachos, roasted pecans, and Mickey pretzels!!

I’m happy staying at any of the Epcot area resorts but an added benefit when staying at the BoardWalk Villas is a kitchen in your room. Just stop by the Screen Door General Store on the BoardWalk to pick up groceries. With little ones, I prefer to have breakfast in our room but I also love having restaurant options available nearby. Resort residences in the BoardWalk area are a perfect fit.

I’ve had the pleasure of staying at a few different Walt Disney World Resorts over the past few years. Last month, I added Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside to that list. Read our Disney’s Port Orleans review to see what we loved and what we didn’t.

This is the first moderate resort I have written about on Desert Chica and it’s definitely middle of the road between the value experience we had at Disney’s Pop Century and the deluxe experience at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort.

5 Reasons We Love Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside

1. Theming

My favorite feature of Port Orleans Riverside is the overall theming. It’s done really well, you feel like you’re staying somewhere along a river in the old south. It reminds me a lot of Disneyland’s New Orleans Square which is one of the prettiest spots at the Disneyland Resort.

It was lovely to walk through the grounds early in the morning or at dusk and enjoy the quiet, beautiful surroundings. It’s like walking through New Orleans Square when the park first opens at Disneyland. We stayed in the Magnolia Bend section of the resort, so I can’t comment on the overall feel of the Alligator Bayou section. It was a fun realization that I could still get a little bit of Disneyland’s New Orleans square feeling at Walt Disney World too.

2. Dining Options

A moderate resort is the perfect mix of dining options and will work for most families. Port Orleans Riverside offers a food court, a sit-down restaurant, and a bar.

We ate at the food court and while it felt smaller than the Pop Century’s dining hall, we liked the food options much better at Port Orleans. The create-you-own-pasta and carving stations were consistent favorites for us.

3. Comfortable Rooms

The rooms aren’t as spacious as a deluxe resort and there is no balcony but there was plenty of space for us to spread out and store all of our luggage and large stroller. The room at Pop Century Resort felt cramped, this room did not. The table and dresser also seemed larger which helped with storing snacks and eating breakfast in the morning. O

ur room had 2 Queen beds instead of the 2 double beds we had at Pop Century.  I appreciated the angled back of the bathtub, it helped when I soaked my weary body after a long day in the parks. 😉

4. Royal Guest Rooms

We stayed in the royal guest rooms which apparently doesn’t change the function or size of the rooms. They do feature more Disney theming than typical Port Orleans rooms, the theme is centered around Princess Tiana and her royal friends.

The boys aren’t into princesses much, so they weren’t super impressed by royal theme. Although to be fair there was some prince representation in the room including Snow White’s Prince and Cinderella’s Prince Charming. You’ll find ornate furniture, custom drapes and bedding, royal artwork and a light-up firework headboard. See my Instagram video below for a sneak peek of the fun headboard, the boys’ favorite feature of the room!

5. Recreation

There are plenty of standard recreation options at Port Orleans Riverside including an arcade, evening movies, a playground, and pools. In addition to what you find at most Disney resorts, Port Orleans Riverside offers a few more options including live entertainment, fishing, horse-drawn carriage rides, surrey bikes and boat ferries to Disney Springs.

The boat ride is considered complimentary transportation to Disney Springs but I see it more as recreation really. The guys rented a surrey bike and had fun circling the property (and working up a sweat). Unfortunately, the big feature pool on Ol’ Man Island was under refurbishment during our stay but the boys did enjoy one of the quiet pools near our room.

3 Reasons We Don’t Love Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside

1. Transportation

I don’t love the transportation options from Port Orleans. I found the boat ferry to Disney Springs disappointing because it took much longer than I expected. If you aren’t in a hurry or are just looking to a leisure 20-minute boat ride, then it’s perfect for you. The boats are very popular in the afternoon and evenings as people head to Disney Springs for dining and entertainment options, so you’ll likely have to wait for a few boats before getting on.

The transportation to all the parks is by bus and unfortunately, Port Orleans Riverside has 4 different bus stops and sometimes shares buses with its sister property, Port Orleans French Quarter. Multiple stops mean the bus may already be full or have standing-room-only by the time it arrives at your stop. Waiting for a 2nd or 3rd bus with kiddos ready to hit the parks is never fun. I think Uber or Lyft would be a better option to save time and sanity.

2. Sprawl Of The Resort

The reason Port Orleans Riverside has multiple bus stops is that it’s a big sprawling resort which can mean lots of extra walking to get to lobby and dining options. You can avoid the extra walking by paying for a preferred room location. It’s definitely something to consider when pricing out resort options.

3. Crowded Food Court

The food court and dining area were crazy crowded our first evening and on several mornings at breakfast time. It definitely feels smaller than the ones I’ve seen at Pop Century and Coronado Springs. One morning we couldn’t find a table and had to bring breakfast back to the room.

You can get around this by arriving for breakfast as soon as it opens and eating dinner a little later. Luckily, the cupcakes from the bakery are amazing and you can easily take those back to your room. 🙂

I hope to check out Riverside’s sister property, Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter soon. The French Quarter’s more compact size does help with some of the things I disliked but not at the cost of things I did really like about Port Orleans Riverside.

We are headed back to Walt Disney World really soon, so I thought it’d be the perfect time to share our thoughts on a few resorts we have already stayed at. A few days ago I shared why we love Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, today I am jumping down a few pegs price wise and sharing why we love Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

5 Reasons We Love Disney’s Pop Century Resort

1. Price

Paying under $100 a night at Disney World Resort is pretty sweet in my opinion. The bulk of our experience is in California and you will never find any of the Disneyland Resort hotels that low. Staying at a Disney resort gives you great extra perks including Disney’s Magical Express, transportation to all the parks, and Extra Magic Hours. That’s a sweet deal when you are only paying $100 a night!

2. Theming

The Pop Century theming very kid friendly. It’s big and in your face, at least on the outside with larger than life statues of Mickey Mouse, Mr & Mrs Potato, Baloo, Roger Rabbit, and more. Naturally music from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s is played at the resort. You might even catch a fun dance session in the main hall, it’s usually “The Twist” or “The Hustle.” The waiting area in the lobby features free, classic arcade games, can you get any more kid friendly?

3. Transportation

Pop Century Resort doesn’t share buses with any other resort. This may not sound like a big deal but it is. When staying at the much more expensive Yacht Club we had some issues getting to the Magic Kingdom because the Yacht Club shares buses with several other resorts in the area. Sometimes the bus was already full by the time it arrived at the Yacht Club. The Pop Century buses go straight from the resort to the parks, no stopping for additional passengers!

4. Food Court

I don’t think food courts offer amazing dining opportunities but I do appreciate their variety, pricing and quickness. It was very easy to grab a quick meal or snack at just about any time during our stay.

5. Proximity to Art of Animation Resort

It’s an easy 5-minute walk to the Art of Animation Resort from most rooms at Pop Century. It’s always fun to check out other Disney Properties and Art of Animation is exceptionally themed for little kids. They also offer a super fun water-themed playground and their food court had different options from Pop Century. A change of scenery and more food choices is always appreciated.

3 Reasons We Don’t Love Disney’s Pop Century Resort

Of course it’s not all peaches and cream, there are some things we don’t love about Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

1. No Waterslide or Spa

My oldest loves water slides and my husband enjoys a good spa. Neither is available at Pop Century which is a bummer. The main pool does have water sprayers for added fun and there’s a small splash pad for little kids.

2. Very Basic Rooms

I really don’t need fancy rooms at Disney, I’m there to visit the parks. That being said, I want to make it clear that Pop Century rooms are definitely “Motel 6” basic.  They offer 2 double beds rather than queen beds which I don’t love. They also don’t have patios or the additional square footage to allow for a desk or extra storage. The rooms at Pop Century are completely adequate but I don’t LOVE basic rooms with limited storage.

3. No Restaurants

We prefer a food court to table service when at Disney. Mostly it’s a budgeting thing but it’s also a timing thing, it’s so much easier to just pop in and grab something quick rather than wait for a table, wait to be served, wait for our check, etc. However, a sit-down place would be a nice option when you want to take a longer break.

We’ve had the opportunity to check out several Walt Disney World Resorts from value to deluxe. Today I’m sharing 5 reasons we love Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and a few why we don’t.

5 Reasons We Love Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

1. The Pool

Stormalong Bay was my boys’ favorite part of Disney’s Yacht Club. This 3-acre water park is shared with the Yacht Club’s sister resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort. The crown jewel of the water area is the life-sized shipwreck that features one of the tallest waterslides at Walt Disney World. Once Quinn worked up his courage to take the plunge for the first time, he was hooked. We had to drag him away kicking and screaming at bedtime. Just kidding. 😉 He was rather reluctant to leave the pool area though and still asks to go back to that water slide when we talk about Disney World. Don’t worry there’s a kiddie slide for you scaredy-cats and the little guys. Stormalong Bay also features a lazy river and multiple pools including a beach entrance pool full of sand perfect for building sand castles.

2. Epcot Area

As fun as Stormalong Bay is, I actually love Disney’s Yacht Club because of its proximity to the parks. It’s crazy close to Epcot and decently close to Hollywood Studios. Both parks can be accessed via a boat ride or walking. As Disneyland Resort regulars we much prefer walking to parks if possible. The Boardwalk Resort and Beach Club Resort are also in this sweet location!

3. Spacious Rooms

Room sizes vary by resort and layout but you will definitely get more space at deluxe resorts. It’s surprising how far an extra 100 square feet goes for storage and breathing room in your hotel room. Our room featured 2 queen beds (vs. doubles at lower level resorts) and a day bed. I don’t NEED a desk or a patio while at Disney World but having them both means we will have more space for breakfast in the room. The space difference was completely obvious when we moved from the Yacht Club Resort to Pop Century (a value resort) on our last trip.

4. Beaches and Cream Soda Shop

Beaches and Cream is a very popular dining spot at Walt Disney World, and many people make an effort to eat there even when staying elsewhere. Hamburgers, grilled cheese, and other hot off the grill items are offered but the clear draw is the ice cream. If you’re looking for the infamous Kitchen Sink (8 scoops of ice cream smothered in every topping they offer), this is place! It can be hard to grab a seat but ice cream is available to go, enjoy it by the pool or back at your room like we did.

If your family is into character dining, you can head next door to the Beach Club Resort for the Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast at Cape May Cafe. It features Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck and Goofy!

5. Proximity to the Boardwalk Resort

The Boardwalk Resort is located across the lake and offers some additional dining choices including a pizza window, bakery, hot dog cart and the ESPN zone restaurant. You can also rent bikes over there including the fun surrey style bikes for 2, 4 and 6 people! We had a blast renting a 4-person bike with the kiddos. The boardwalk area around the lake is perfect for biking. Just prepared for a few slight hills that will not feel slight while carting kiddos along. 😉

3 Reasons We Don’t Love Disney’s Yacht Club

Of course, no hotel is perfect, so I’m also sharing a few reasons why we don’t love staying at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort.

1. Price

The Yacht Club is a deluxe resort which means it’s pricey. Every time I look it up, it’s priced at $400-$500 a night.  If you watch for special offers you could get it down a little more reasonably but just know that wouldn’t be the norm. In our case, we were part of the Disney Social Media Celebration which made the rate slightly more reasonable.

2. Transportation to the Parks

The Yacht Club Resort is an awesome location for visiting Epcot and Hollywood Studios but NOT so great for the other parks. Bus transportation is provided to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs. Unfortunately, this resort shares the bus with 2-4 other resorts in the area which means at busy times, you might have to wait for another bus if the first one is already full.

3. No Food Court

The quick service food options are limited. The market at the Beach Club Resort (next door) and the pool area bar between the two resorts are the only quick service options available. Some people prefer sit down meals but for budgeting, timing and squirrely kid purposes, we much prefer counter service/food court options.

Bonus Reason: Stuffy

As you might expect by the name, the theming of the resort is that of a New England-style yacht club. Very nicely themed, you might say luxe but not very fun. The lack of Disney theming isn’t a deal breaker for me but it might be for some people.

Do you have a favorite Walt Disney World Resort?

It’s a little crazy but I was at Disney World twice in under a month. I’ve had a very busy spring. As part of both trips, one for my Traveling Mom retreat and the other for DisneySMMC, I had the opportunity to experience fireworks at Walt Disney World in special ways.  I thought I’d share some of the unique ways to watch fireworks at Walt Disney World with you, in case you want to plan a little extra magic on your next Disney vacation.

IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth is a 12 minute show offered  at Epcot.

Behold the past, present and future of Earth at this stunning fireworks show that celebrates the spirit of humanity.

The IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party, offers attendees a special viewing area complete with a variety of internationally inspired desserts.

Here’s a sneak peek of the show I shared on Instagram!

This video was taken with this cool new wearable video camera I received during the TMOM retreat. It’s hand free and you wear it at your eye level, giving you a more accurate point of view video that other cameras you might wear on your chest. Check out a full review of the Panasonic HX-A500H POV Wearable 4K Camcorder at Traveling Mom! The best feature is that it’s immersible up to 3 meters, I wish we had it last summer for snorkeling in Roatan!!

Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party  

Enjoy the Wishes Nighttime Spectacular, the biggest and brightest fireworks ever shown at the Magic Kingdom.

Wishes come true as the voices of beloved Disney characters narrate this spectacular fireworks show

The Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party offers a buffet of decadent desserts, along with hot and cold beverages along with a fabulous view of the fireworks in a special VIP area.

Dine at California Grill at Contemporary Resort

One way to enjoy a fabulous view of the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom without buying a theme park ticket, is having dinner at the California Grill. The California Grill at the Contemporary Resort is located next door to the Magic Kingdom and offers a fantastic view of the fireworks outside its windows. And you don’t have to schedule a late meal, diners from earlier in the day can bring their receipt back to the restaurant to access the California Grill’s outside observation deck during the show! They even pipe in the music!

Pirates & Pals Fireworks Voyage

The Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage is another unique way to Wishes Nighttime Spectacular without theme park admission! I think it would make a fun splurge on a non park day!

Grab yer mateys and embark on a cruise of Seven Seas Lagoon—featuring fearsome pirate encounters and a fireworks finale!

I’m pretty sure my boys would LOVE the pirate encounters! 🙂
