Top 5 Coffee Spots at Walt Disney World

If you're a coffee lover, you don't have to sacrifice your daily cup of joe when you're on vacation. In fact, you'd be surprised at how many rich, exotic blends there are to choose from. So, in honor of National Coffee Day (which is today!), we thought we'd share our TOP 5 coffee spots at Walt Disney World: 

5. Les Halls Boulangerie and Patisseries in France at Epcot
A lovely way to start your day at Epcot. Plus, you can choose from a variety of French pastries, baguettes, croissants, to enjoy as you take in World Showcase.

4. Starbucks at the Main Street Bakery
There are a few locations on Walt Disney World property where you can find Starbucks coffee (including Epcot and Downtown Disney), but we chose the one on Main Street as one of the best spots. Great coffee, sweet treats - perfect way to start your day at the Magic Kingdom.

3. Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop at Downtown Disney If the name alone doesn't entice you, the coffee certainly will. In addition to signature ice cream and chocolate concoctions, you can choose from a number of specialty coffee and iced beverages - all with that signature Ghirardelli taste. Yum!

2. Boma - flavors of Africa at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge This place makes you feel like you just landed in the beautiful African landscape. Amid the authentic African decor, you can enjoy a cup of full-bodied Kenyan AA coffee, African pastries and a great breakfast buffet. Definitely one of our top choices.

And our number one spot for coffee at Walt Disney World is...

1. Kona Island at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Kona Island is considered one of the best spots at Walt Disney World to relax and unwind with a French press of Kona coffee. You can even take a bag of beans home with you (whole or ground, 100% pure or a blend).

So what's your favorite spot to grab a cup of coffee at Walt Disney World? Tell us in the comments below!

Bad Weather Doesn't Have To Ruin Your Fun!

If you've ever been to Central Florida, then you know the weather can change in the drop of a hat. 

Or...in the drop of some Mickey ears :)

But crazy weather doesn't have to ruin all your Disney fun. There are tons of things to do at Walt Disney World that don't involve a bright yellow rain poncho. 

Here are our TOP 3 things to do when it rains at Disney:

1.  Enjoy a free concert by the Grand Floridian Lobby Society Orchestra - they play dixie, jazz, ragtime and Disney favorites in the lobby and they are spectacular! (In between their sets, you may hear the amazing grand pianist play some familiar tunes on the main floor).

2. Go bowling! Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Downtown Disney has 50,000 square feet, two floors, 30 lanes, billiard tables, live music, and yummy food. Most people don't take time out of their theme park visits to go bowling, but on a rainy day? This is a great family activity!

3.  Head on over to Animal Kingdom Lodge, home to one of the largest collections of African art in the United States. There is often some form of entertainment in the lobby - kid's craft, live music, or an African storyteller. And there are food choices that include traditional African dishes or favorite American things like burgers and fries. 

These are just a few things to do when the weather isn't the greatest - what are some of your favorite things to do when it rains at Disney?
