Check out all the Disney World Resorts to visit.

• Plan an easy breakfast and lunch from the resort commissary, and grab a refillable resort mug so she can top off her drinks all day.
• Pool Time can be great for rowdy kids and a mom who just needs to relax.
• Surrey Bikes and Walking Paths are available at select resorts and can add some memories during your stay.
• Dinner at the Resort is easy if you’re staying at a Disney Moderate or Deluxe Resort, as most have table service restaurants on the property. We LOVE Sebastian’s Bistro at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort for family fun and a great menu.

That’s right, Walt Disney World has carriage rides! You can grab a horse-drawn carriage ride at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds and at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort.
