Top 5 Quick Service Dining Locations at Magic Kingdom
You’re at the Magic Kingdom, and you need something to eat. I mean, part of a great Disney vacation is experiencing some of the food they offer, right? But how do you know what is a good use of your money or your dining credits? And, when it comes to quick service dining, you want to get a great variety in your meals, too. So today I want to share with you my Top Five Favorite Quick Service Dining Locations at the Magic Kingdom.
First, what is quick service dining? Basically, it’s a counter service {think fast food} restaurant. You walk up to give a Cast Member your order, and then you approach a window to pick it up. You choose your seat in the restaurant, and there are no reservations necessary. You don’t quite have the options for meals as you might at a buffet or table service restaurant, but you’ll be surprised at how you can find some yummy, quick food before getting the rest of your touring underway.
- Pinocchio’s Village Haus. This is located in Fantasyland, just beside It’s a Small World. This is one of my favorites because I love their flatbreads! The Caprese Flatbread is my favorite, but the BBQ Chicken one sounds good, too! Also, they offer salads, as well as sandwiches. If you get a seat upstairs, you can watch the boats take off at It’s a Small World

How NOT to Make it 24 Hours in the Parks
The big buzz around Disney parks is the upcoming 24 hour event to be held May 24th (how appropriate) . This event titled, the Monstrous Summer All Nighter is similar to the “One More Disney Day” Event held leap day of 2012. Were you there? I was. But, today I have a HUGE confession; a confession of monstrous proportions. I attended the “One More Disney Day 24 Hour Event” and I did not make it 24 hours. I failed miserably! I made the freshman mistakes and I’m not proud of them. But, don’t worry, I’ve learned from my grotesque past attempt and I think I’m ready to repeat the course (unfortunately I won’t be able to test out these theories during the upcoming 24 hour event…maybe next time).
Today I’m here to serve as your tutor. I’m sharing what NOT to do to make it 24 hours in the parks! Fingers, paws, and claws crossed, when we finish you’ll be able to add the twenty four hour challenge to your transcript! Let’s get started with this syllabus for success…and yes there will be a midterm exam.

Top 10 Rides at Disney World for Teens
Walt Disney World. Just the name of this magical place evokes images of little girls in princess dresses, young pirates with their swords, and little faces lighting up with joy from a hug from the main man himself-Mickey Mouse. Sometimes people might think that there isn’t as much for teenagers to enjoy at Disney. After all, a ride on Small World may not be quite as exciting to a teenager as it is to a younger child. (Unless your teenager is like me at that age-I loved it then and I still love it!) But don’t worry, I have consulted my very own teenage Disney Addict to help me show that there are rides that are fun for teens too.
Here are our recommendations for rides that are sure to make any teen smile:
Magic Kingdom:
Space Mountain: A true Disney classic, this is a must-do on any teen’s list. While it might be considered tamer than other roller coasters, hurtling through the dark, dodging asteroids and planets add a whole different level of fun to this ever- popular ride.
- Fastpass is available and can save you a very long wait in the stand-by line
- Ride in the front of the car for the best ride
