If you are looking for the perfect way to kick-start your day at Walt Disney World and Disney Springs then look no further than the new Sunday Brunch at Maria & Enzo’s! I was lucky enough to get to try it out this past Sunday and am super excited to share some of the deliciousness with our readers.

When you first walk into Maria & Enzo’s you are greeted by a grand two-story dining room themed after a storied airline terminal from the 1930s. The views of Lake Buena Vista are also quite picturesque as well!

Guests enjoying Sunday Brunch at Maria & Enzo’s are also treated to live music from a harp.

Maria & Enzo’s offers two ways to enjoy Sunday brunch. You can order a la carte options or enjoy a prix-fixe buffet brunch. As you can see, the a la carte selections are located on the left side of the menu and the prix-fixe buffet brunch menu is located on the right side.

We decided to go with the prix-fixe menu are were not disappointed!

When you chose the prix-fixe brunch, you are treated to an array of appetizers served buffet-style featuring a meat and cheese station, antipasti station, pizza station, peel and eat shrimp, yogurt, and fresh pastries.

Next up is your choice of entree. We decided on the French Toast and NY Strip Steak ‘n Eggs.

The NY Strip Steak ‘n Eggs is served with eggs your way and parm roasted potatoes.

The French Toast comes with berry preserves, whipped mascarpone, and granola.

I wish I could tell you which one was better but they both were delicious!

Finally, Guests participating in the prix-fixe brunch are treated to a dessert bar complete with a chocolate fountain and several tasty treats to dip including Rice Krispie Treats, cannolis, strawberries, cheesecake, and much more!

Now for the best part of Sunday Brunch at Maria & Enzo’s – bottomless beverages! Guests can choose from bottomless Bellinis featuring white peach puree and Prosecco or bottomless Mimosas with champagne and orange juice. Both options are $15 for all you care to enjoy!

If you are wondering, the prix-fixe brunch is $35 per adult and $15 for children ages 3 to 9. The prix-fixe brunch option requires all guests at the same table to participate.

So, next time you are looking for a magical way to kick off your day at Walt Disney World and Disney Springs, make sure to add Sunday Brunch at Maria & Enzo’s to your schedule! The menu offers something for every palate so you will not be disappointed!

New updates and photos of Caribbean Beach Resort construction. Caribbean Beach Resort(CBR) is adding a substantial new addition to the resort property. The addition is quite impressive! Old Port Royale will contain eating facilities, shopping and the main lobby and registration area. The Custom House, which is the current registration area will be moved to this new centralized area.

The current entrance to the Caribbean Beach will close once construction is finished. The new entrance will run off of Victory Way, which is where the Art of Animation and Pop Century are located.

You can see the progression of the Skyliner near Trinidad South as well as the main loading and transfer station. The Skyliner is a new way to get through the resorts and Hollywood Studios in a more efficient way. The resort is scheduled to open in August of 2018, but there have been many delays in the process so that may be pushed back. We will have to wait and see if they are able to pull off some Disney magic!

The collection is called Epcot 18 World Showcase, as little play on words, which I think is really cute. This assortment is ready to kick back in style, while enjoying the World Cup!

Check Out this Video Vault for the One Year Anniversary of Pandora

Check Out this Video Vault for the One Year Anniversary of Pandora

Check out this video vault for the one-year anniversary of Pandora! Just a year ago we walked through the wonder that is Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Pandora is such a breathtaking and amazing part of the park that it is hard to believe it has been just one year since the opening! Flights of Passage has quickly become one of Walt Disney Worlds most popular attractions. With wait times averaging two or more hours at some times park goers have adopted Flights of Passage(FOP) as a staple ride experience. I have gone to the parks several times and have not ever had the opportunity to ride FOP. This last trip I rode for the first time! I was blown away by how amazing the ride is. I felt like I was being taken away on a banshee flying through the sky and above the water. If you love Sorin, you will love FOP!

Disney has decided to celebrate the first anniversary of Pandora by putting together a series of montage videos from the very beginning of construction to now. In addition to FOP, the land is illuminated by nighttime bioluminescent plant life and an adventure offered aboard the Na’vi River Journey. This first video shows the original beam used in the construction and the process involved! Watch the video here:

Check back soon for the rest of the Pandora update videos from Disney Parks Blog!
