review of The Plaza restaurant located at Magic Kingdom

By -
The very easily overlooked The Plaza Restaurant available at Magic Kingdom right off the back end of Main Street USA is something one should consider!

This is a small table service dining location. No frills or thrills to it but restful and enjoyable options. They have mostly typical 'American' cuisine. You can be served a nice larger portion meal entree that is only a little above a quick service meal. There is something to be said about taking advantage of resting during a park touring day!

We ate here during a non-planned Magic Kingdom day. We did have two fast passes selected but just played out our day as we went along! Very relaxing to us and we were able to pretty much do what we wanted. We did miss Haunted Mansion and 7 dwarf Mine train but we were okay with that. It was also only a half day spent there.

That morning we wanted to get to the park very early for rope drop and see the morning show.
This meant we went without breakfast in favor of getting up a little later but still early enough to arrive to park when we wanted to.

We decided we wanted a sit down table service. The Plaza was available (usually  is~ although, it is a small dining hall) so we booked a breakfast at 9:50am

I have been watching my portions which still worked out great at this location.
We didn't do the dining plan for this trip since it was a little too un-planned we didn't feel the dining plan would work for us this time. I would not recommend using a credit off a Dining plan for this dining location unless you just need to use a credit.

I almost ordered just a side of grits($5.00) but the breakfast platter looked so amazing! The problem with Disney is all the choices one is forced to make. Luckily, my touring partner~ sister-in-law was happy to split the platter with me!

We ordered the All-American Classic Platter.
This comes with two Mickey waffles, Scrambled eggs, Sausage, Bacon, breakfast potatoes and a biscuit. We were not wanting the potatoes however. We asked if we could trade them out for a bowl of grits instead and they were happy to honor our request! Yeah! The meal is $16.00 so we had a more than plentiful platter to share for only $8.00 each! That is a win in my book!
Sometimes I do like their breakfast potatoes but it seems to be a 50/50 on which dining location I like them at. Garden Grill, love theirs. I am glad I didn't try The Plaza's.. Although they are supposedly cooked the same, I don't think they are. My brother did get the platter as is and he didn't enjoy the potatoes.

I did almost get the Steak and Eggs Entree.. Was so tempting. BUT we did have plans to have steak for dinner. $18.00 not a bad price for a steak at Disney. Not the finest grade but they usually do a great job on seasoning them right!

Now, I am NOT a fan of Disney's sausage links.. I don't care for them at any dining location there honestly. Just so you are aware, if you feel you want to maybe swap a food item out, never hesitate to ask about options!

The Disney Cruise Lines offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Makeover with more options than you could ever get at the parks!!!! (Fantasy & Dream boats) You can get First Mate, Pirate, Mermaid, Princess and even a star Wars makeover (depending on the sailing you book under) We did the standard Princess Makeover although we have done Pirates in the past (for son and daughter) It is always a fantastic experience! The children feel so special with all the extra attention with makeover to boot! How do you not love that?! They do start around $19.00 for boys and $55.00 starting rate for girls. They can definitely escalate depending on the amazing options you could add to it from $100, $200 and even $750.00 (Yes, You read that correctly~$750.00) Of course booking for this opens when your cruise registration opens. You must be paid in full and the opening registration depends on If you are a new cruiser or the Castaway Club level you are. Previous sailings I have always booked arou

virtual Run Disney review from Dealing with Disney

I decided to finally see what the virtual Disney Runs were all about. A friend of mine told me she signed up. She wanted to keep her momentum going which inspired me to look into as well. I have learned to love the Run Disney events. It appears they offer seasonal Virtual events options from the Run Disney website. (see link HERE ) There were 3 races available to choose from or a full circuit registration containing all 3 races. This came with a bonus medal as well.  Each event was $45.00 and the combined package was $145.00. This was more $$ obviously but ok, I can see they have added in the cost of the extra medal you earn. What does this get me or should I say, what do I get out of this event? I can see the Disney love of just doing it for Disney,  doing it for the medal or doing it to keep momentum of working towards goals. All options seemed very reasonable to me and got me excited, therefore I signed up for the gauntlet. My friend pointed out her whole family

Walt Disney World Halloween 2020 re-opening experiences by Dealing with Disney

My review from my latest Disney world experience.   This trip was definitely not one of my favorites! Before you read all my cons.. .Keep  in mind, I still enjoyed this trip.  The main point of this is to have proper expectation for your needs/stay. If you go into a park without proper expectation, it can really throw your trip OFF!  We had some great moments. We had some rest spots - drinks - treats which were nice.   One amazing PLUS: The security checks are a breeze now! No lie.. their big concern are umbrellas and water bottles (metal ones) tend to set off the machines. They ask for those to be pulled out of back packs but all other items you can walk through with!  I loved still having the time to appreciate the little things in the park that we take for granted. The craftsmanship in all the art around the park/architecture , the plant life every where!   I will be honest, part of the reason was due to my own family! Hey, I always like to keep It real-in perspective we shall say.
