If you are heading to Disney World this summer and have the dining plan, this is one meal you definitely want to know about for your Epcot day! This is by far one of the best uses of a quick service credit in any of the parks!

The Grove Resort and Water Park graciously hosted me last week and I am now officially a huge fan, and was literally texting my husband from the lazy river telling him how I want to come back with the whole family for my birthday later this summer!

This resort has the most beautiful and impeccably clean grounds. It is so peaceful and relaxing and truly felt like a little haven away from the hustle and bustle of the parks.

This resort is PERFECT for larger groups, as the 3 bedroom suite can accommodate up to 8 people at an extremely reasonable rate. It feels like you are in a luxury apartment with the full sized kitchen and washer and dryer, but all for value resort pricing!

The Surfari Water Park to me is the crown jewel of the property, and the fact that it is included for free for any guest is what sealed the deal for me on wanting to come back again asap.

The pool area is immaculate, absolutely huge, and the lazy river and slides are both so much fun. This is by far the best pool I have experienced in the Orlando area, and makes for the ultimate rest day activity!

Thank you so much to , and I cant wait to see you again soon!

Now that it is hot hot hot out, this is a great snack credit you may want to know about for your Hollywood Studios visit! Not only is it a great price point for getting the most out of your plan, but it’s also a classic treat that is made even better because of the perfect location that is Sunset Boulevard!!

Disney Dining Plan worth it or walk away?! Today we are exploring the newer Popcorn & Snacks stand in Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios. This stand has the popular Pizza Planet Pepperoni Spring Rolls BUT are they dining plan friendly?! 👀

If you want extra guidance on the Disney Dining plan I do offer guides for 2026 in addition to custom strategies tailored to your exact party and park plans! Both can be found linked on my main page under “my faves”!

Docking Bay 7 in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is my number 1 pick for quick service when it comes to the Disney Dining Plan. I absolutely love the theming, but the food here is severely underrated, which is the real reason to visit!

The price points here are also on the higher side, which makes it a great option for the plan.

Even if you don’t eat here for a full meal, the Black Spire Mousse dessert is so delicious and qualifies as a snack!

I just had the most incredible hosted staycation with my mom at The Grove Resort & Water Park ( ), a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel, and I cannot WAIT to come back with my whole family soon!

A full review is coming soon, but here are a few things you need to know:

This resort is super close to Disney (with free transportation to the parks!) but at the same time feels like an oasis once you are on property. It is so tranquil and relaxed, but there is also SO much to do, which I loved!

The Surfari Water Park is their signature attraction (for good reason) is designed for all ages with an incredible kids activity pool, a 700-foot lazy river, and two water slides. My mom and I spent 6 hours there and could have stayed even longer! It is so clean, had plenty of lifeguards, and tons of lounge chairs and seating options.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can even surf on their Flowrider Double Surf Simulator! I had to give it a try, and it was so so fun! I couldn’t believe I was able to actually get the hang of it! The instructors are so helpful and encouraging and talk you through the whole process.

More to come, but all in a 10/10 experience!

Thank you so much for hosting my mom and I this week! We will see you VERY soon ☺️!
