By AJ and the DFB Team 7 Comments

Disney World’s Caribbean Beach Resort has been undergoing major refurbishments over the past year (plus a few months). And the Moderate Resort’s dining areas have been greatly impacted during the renovations. So we are especially excited to share new information regarding Caribbean Beach Resort dining options, starting with the announcement of Sebastian’s Bistro!

Yes! Sebastian’s Bistro will be an all-new dining location, taking the place of the Table Service restaurant that was formerly Shutters.

Sebastian from The Little Mermaid is a fitting inspiration, given the Caribbean feel and flavors that will be showcased in the waterfront restaurant. [Read more…]

We’re Loving This Healthy, Icy Treat at Disney World’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts!

By AJ Leave a Comment

Say you’re lounging poolside at arguably the best pool at Walt Disney World — Stormalong Bay at the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts — and you’re craving a sweet frozen treat. We all know Beaches and Cream is just a hop, skip, and a jump away, but it can be downright impossible to get in there.

Thankfully Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar & Grill is serving up a super healthy, low-calorie frozen treat that, frankly, some of us need while on vacation (to balance out all the snacks!): Frozen Grapes!

This snack credit-eligible bite is $3.99, and you’ll find them advertised adjacent to the other healthy option here: Seasonal Sliced Fruit.

News: Breakfast Buffet Returns to Yacht Club’s Ale & Compass Restaurant!

By AJ 19 Comments

When Ale & Compass Restaurant opened at Walt Disney World’s Yacht Club Resort last November, it received mixed reviews. The nautical and sparse decor appealed to some but made others feel the space was too stuffy.

The menus raised some eyebrows, with self-proclaimed New England-style options not appealing to, well, New Englanders. We gave it a bit of a tepid review for dinner, and we heard from lots of readers who missed the former Captain’s Grille breakfast buffet.

For one of those contentious topics, Ale & Compass offers a solution. A breakfast buffet is now available! (And we were told that it was due to popular demand from guests. So see? Sometimes your requests do make it all the way to the top!)

And the price is actually OK on this one!
