Adventures by Disney Portugal: Why This Was One of the Most Surprising Trips I've Ever Taken6/3/2026  By Meghan Umlauf
When most people think of Portugal, they picture colorful cities, historic castles, and beautiful beaches. Those things certainly delivered, but what surprised me most was how much deeper we were able to experience the country through Adventures by Disney. This wasn't a trip where we simply checked famous landmarks off a list. Instead, it was filled with authentic local experiences, incredible storytelling, and special moments that would have been difficult to arrange on our own.  The Disney Dining Plan is a prepaid meal package available exclusively to guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel as part of a vacation package. Rather than paying for each meal out of pocket, you receive a set number of meal and snack credits per person, per night - so you can focus on the magic. instead of the menu prices.

A group of fully grown, card-carrying adults who show up to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party every year in full costume, clutching our trick-or-treat bags, and having the absolute time of our lives. And we are not alone. One of the most magical things about this event is looking around Magic Kingdom and seeing everyone - kids, families, grandparents, groups of friends, all dressed up, all giddy, all completely swept up in the magic of it.

Celebrating global cuisine, beverages, music, and culture, the festival transforms EPCOT into a foodie paradise for nearly three months each year. The festival traditionally runs from late-August through mid-November (actual dates vary each year), providing guests plenty of opportunity to experience the event.
 Over the years, SeaWorld has changed, mostly for the good. It started as a small park centered around endangered sea life and rescue efforts. They had a few areas where you could interact with dolphins and stingrays as well as their featured presentations. There was the Orca show, the Dolphin show and the Penguin show. It was a one-day park in Orlando that people took their small children to once.
That has all changed.  When most guests think of Walt Disney World, they picture attractions, fireworks, and character dining. But tucked away inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is one of Walt Disney World’s most elegant and relaxing hidden gems, the newly reimagined Garden View Lounge Tea Experience.
For guests looking to slow down, indulge, and enjoy a truly refined Disney experience, afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian is pure magic.
