After a fun day at Animal Kingdom, our team headed over to our reservation at Sanaa and were blown away by the delicious flavors and colorful atmosphere. Read more about Sanaa and hear why you should book this unique dining experience for your next trip to Disney World.

The Dream Team at My VIP Tour had the opportunity to sit down for dinner. As we walked through the restaurant, we felt as if we were transported to the savanna as our gazes went quickly to the huge windows, where guests can see exotic animals like giraffes and zebras grazing and roaming around. As our hostess walked us over to our table, she explained the story of the restaurant and that Sanaa is Swahili for “Work of Art” in reference to all the traditional African art pieces found in the restaurant.

We spent the day at Animal Kingdom and drove to the Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village. Some families believe that the Animal Kingdom Lodge is connected to the Disney parks, although in reality, it is a bit of a drive. There are shuttle busses that families can hop on to get from the parks to the resorts. If you have your own car, we believe the best place to park is in the Timon Parking Lot.

To get to the restaurant go to the lobby and follow the signs to the elevator. From there, you’ll take the elevator to the first floor, where you’ll be greeted by the beautiful “Sanaa” display.

The Drinks:

African Starr Mojito is a delicious cocktail with a combination of African Rum, Van der Hum Tangerine Liqueur from South Africa, fresh mint and lime. It’s refreshing, tasty and highly recommended to anyone visiting Sanaa at Disney World!

The Appetizers

The Indian Style Bread Service is well known by other Disney Fans. This appetizer is a variety of different Indian style nan breads with nine dipping sauces and accompaniments.

The Entrees:

Recommendations:

From our experience, we highly recommend Sanaa! The African-influenced architecture is gorgeous! The decor in the restaurant is all imported from Africa and makes you feel like you are in another country. The massive windows look out to the savanna which allows you to see the giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife while you dine, it is such a treat. We loved all the dishes we ordered and felt like they were so different than other restaurants we’ve tried at Disney and tasted absolutely phenomenal. For those not familiar with the cuisine, the servers guide you through the menu, and there is also a glossary attached to the menu that explains what the food terms mean. Although the menu is not very large, we promise you will leave with a full and happy belly.

    Top 5 Reasons to Hire a VIP Guide at the Theme Parks

    Top 5 Reasons to Hire a VIP Guide at the Theme Parks

    by | Oct 16, 2020 | Disney, Disney news, Disney tours, disney world, Holiday, luxury resorts, My VIP Tour, Orlando, Restaurants, Tips & Tricks, Travel, Universal Studios, VIP Disney

    Top 5 Reasons to Hire a VIP Guide in the Theme Parks

    Gone are the days where guests can show up to the theme parks with no plan or schedule. With hundreds of resort and dining options, attractions, and fun activities to do around Orlando, it is crucial to have a park expert assisting along the way. Here are Top 5 Reasons to Hire a VIP Guide in the Theme Parks.

    1. Creating the Perfect Schedule – for Everyone!

    Between four Walt Disney World theme parks and two Universal Studios theme parks,  there are over 100 attractions for guests to experience. Trying to organize a schedule where everyone in your group is able to do the attractions that are most important to them can be challenging. Your VIP Concierge here at My VIP Tour will discuss the parks and attractions with you in depth throughout the pre-planning process so they can create the perfect day-to-day theme park schedule for your family.

    Once you are here in Orlando, your VIP guide will navigate your family through the parks in a very specific way so that everyone is experiencing attractions that are suitable for them. We often hear from our families that they expected their children to have fun, but never expected to have just as much fun themselves. Everyone in your family, from little ones to teens, and adults of all ages, deserve to feel the magic of the theme parks with no stress of thinking how to get through the parks and crowds each day. 

     

    2. Shorter Wait Times 

    Shorter wait times are what most families look for when hiring a VIP guide, and that is one of our favorite perks of our service! The theme parks have become so busy over the past few years. The average a guest visiting the parks on their own will wait is about 45-60 minutes for an attraction. Most of the popular attractions will experience a 90 minute or more wait time in the afternoons and during peak season dates. Yikes!

    Our team at My VIP Tour has spent years studying the parks and attractions. Each an every one of our VIP guides goes through an intense training program to learn the in’s and out’s of the parks. With our expertise, and park knowledge, our families typically never wait more than about 15-20 minutes for an attraction throughout the day, leaving more time for rides and fun, and less time waiting in line. 

     

    3. Having a Local Expert

    We are Orlando based, many of us born and raised here, having visited Disney from a young age. Living here and visiting the theme parks daily puts us “in the know”.

    All of the pre-planning is incredibly important when visiting the theme parks, however one of the best perks of hiring a VIP guide is having a local expert in real time while you are on vacation. Our Disney VIP guides are able to visit the parks daily and keep up with every single change that comes our way. We take that knowledge to plan the perfect customized itinerary for each individual family. Our Disney VIP Guides keep in touch with their families throughout their entire stay to make sure they can answer any questions that may arise. Our team of Orlando experts and can make recommendations on dining, other theme parks to visit, and fun activities outside of the parks.

    Your Disney VIP guide will work together with your VIP concierge to cancel or make new dining reservations, book transportation, purchase extra park tickets, and do anything else they can do to help make your stay at the most magical place on earth as magical as it can be!

    4. More than just a VIP Guide

    Short wait times and stress-free planning are an amazing part of our service, however it’s the extra details that really elevate the experience.

    Our VIP guides go above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience for our families from the moment they enter the park until the moment they get back to the resort.

    We love to celebrate special occasions, take candid photos throughout each day, share our extensive knowledge on park history and facts, add in special (secret!) details for the kids, and so much more.

    Our VIP guides quickly become part of the family from day one and do everything they can to learn what is most important to each and every member of the group so they can customize the entire experience.

    5. Our Level of Care

    We truly believe that our level of care is what sets My VIP Tour apart.

    Each member of our team has visited the theme parks from a very early age and knows how special these trips can be. Some of our families plan their once-in-a-lifetime Disney trip with us and some visit with us annually. No matter if it’s your first or 20th trip, our goal is always to Build Better Memories each and every time.

    Our team truly cares deeply about our families and their vacations. From the first phone call with our VIP concierge team to the last good-bye with your VIP guide at the park, your happiness and satisfaction is our number one priority.

    Don’t just listen to us, head to our Trip Advisor page to read reviews from over 700 families who rated My VIP Tour five stars!

    We can’t wait to meet your family and Build Better Memories with you soon!  

      Contact our concierge team today to get started on your next Orlando theme park dream vacation.

      The Boathouse Disney Springs – Review –

      The Boathouse Disney Springs – Review –

      by | Mar 7, 2016 | Restaurants, Uncategorized

      Easily, one of the most enjoyable things about traveling to Walt Disney World is exploring all of the amazing restaurants it has to offer. From casual character breakfasts to exquisite fine dining, WDW offers some of the best eateries in Orlando.

      One of our favorite, and highly recommended, restaurants is The Boathouse, located at Disney Springs. From the moment you enter The Boathouse, your dining reservation will turn into an unforgettable experience that your family will remember for many years to come.

      From the beautiful Amphicar theater dock and lighthouse shop, to boat captains awaiting your arrival, and of course an exceptional array of food and drinks, you will truly feel like a VIP.

      The Boathouse boasts a nautical ambiance and features three large beverage bars, including a floating dock set on the waterfront outside. There are four different dining areas that you can explore with little pops of character in each room including paddles, oars, and even booth seating in real antique boats.

      One of the most impressive visuals at The Boathouse is the Oyster Bar featured in the very front of the restaurant (and yes, of course we tried them!)

      The fresh oysters are shipped in daily from Blue Point, Connecticut and Martha’s Vineyard and are served with a choice of cocktail sauce and cucumber mignonette. The cocktail sauce paired well with the Oyster if you’re looking for a more traditional taste. The cucumber mignonette, however, absolutely blew us away with how well it complemented the Oyster and gave it a really light and refreshing taste.

      boathouse11

      In order to get the best out of The Boathouse, we asked several employees and managers what were their highest recommendations for appetizers. Two of their favorites were the Hoison Chili Calamari, and The Yellowfin Tuna Poke.

      The Hoison Chili Calamari was by far our favorite. The Calamari was mixed with Bell Peppers, Jalapeños, and topped with a Serrano-Chili glaze. The Calamari had a melt in your mouth texture and without being overpowering, the Jalapeño Serrano-Chili sauce adds tons of flavor and a big kick for those who like some spice.

      boathouse44

      The Yellowfin Tuna Poke was incredibly refreshing and served on top of an Avocado and Mango mixture, drizzled in a soy lime vinaigrette. The dish was very light and refreshing, which was a great appetizer to pair with the fried Calamari.  The Poke was served with three large crisps, so we asked for more which was no problem at all.

      boathouse66

      For entrees, we chose two different dishes: The Jumbo Crab Cake, and the Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos.

      The Jumbo Crab Cake did not disappoint, and was gone in a matter of minutes at our table. A major recommendation by several of The Boathouse employees, the Crab Cake is stuffed full of fresh lump crab meat and served with coleslaw and tartar sauce. With such a large portion, it is easily shareable— which we shared between the four of us.

      boathouse22

      The Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos are wild-caught fish, rubbed with Jerk Spice with Avocado, Serrano Chili Cream Sauce, and Crisp Vegetable Slaw. We thoroughly enjoyed how simple these Taco’s were. The Jerk Spice was super flavorful while the Avocado and Coleslaw were light, but tasty, complements. Again, the Mahi Mahi Tacos were great for sharing, with three delicious tacos served on one plate.

      boathouse33

      Overall, we were all extremely satisfied with the quality of our dishes served to us at The Boathouse. Every dish had such delectable flavors, and were presented beautifully. The Boathouse really brings the elegance and beauty to food plating and design, while keeping the food really sharable, tasty, and flavorful.

      Aside from the exceptional food, beverages, and service, The Boathouse also offers guests some fantastic options to enjoy after dinner – for a price of course. We chose a ride in their world-famous Amphicars, from their Amphicar Theatre. The Boathouse is the only place in the world that offers this tour, which truly makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

      boathouse3  PhotoPass_Visiting_Disney_Springs_7597284710

      Directly to the left of the restaurant, The Amphicar Theatre holds 8 brightly colored cars that both drive on land, and work as boats in the water. These Amphicars were built in Germany in the mid 1960s and are among the rarest cars in the world—with only approximately 300 left.

      We took a ride on the 20-minute Amphicar experience, and it exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed by our very own Boathouse Captain, Adrian, who introduced himself and told us a little bit about the cars before driving us down the ramp and right into the water. The ride takes you on an adventure between Disney Springs and Saratoga Springs. Throughout the ride, our Captain gave us some interesting history and pointed out special landmarks, including a 200 year old boat docked behind the restaurant.

      boathouse55

      A truly amazing experience, the Amphicars bring together the whole feel of being on your own private lake house.

      It is clear to see why The Boathouse is more than just a restaurant. It continues to be a top selection among guests and employees at Disney Springs. A quick bite to eat turns into a culinary journey and a fun night out turns into an unforgettable experience enjoyed by all ages.

      The Rollicking Raglan Brunch — Disney Springs

      The Rollicking Raglan Brunch — Disney Springs

      by | Dec 26, 2015 | Disney, Disney news, Disney tours, disney world, My VIP Tour, Orlando, Restaurants, VIP Disney

      When vacationing at Walt Disney World, character breakfasts and dinner reservations are usually the go-to meal options for families. However, there are some amazing Brunch options that are definitely worth checking out (and who doesn’t love a reason to have champagne at 10 o’clock in the morning?) Recently, we checked out The Rollicking Raglan Brunch at Raglan Road, located at Downtown Disney (transitioning into Disney Springs).

      Upon arriving to Raglan Road, we made a quick

      stop to the bar to order our first round of mimosas.

      The mimosas were made with fresh Florida orange juice and sparkling wine, which came in a small bottle, but enough to fill up for a second! The bartender also gave us all complimentary homemade berry and banana smoothies that were served in large shot glasses.

      After being seated, a delicious Irish soda bread was brought to the table, along with a Guinness and sugar dipping oil. A second round of complimentary smoothies were then brought to the table while the waitress explained any specials of the day.

      The menu did not shy away from the items you would typically see listed in a restaurant located in Ireland. Brunch options consisted of Roastie Potatoes, Gammon and Eggs, Pancakes, Omelettes, Eggs Benedict, a Black Dog special, and more. You also have the option to order something more towards the lunch side like a Burger or Sandwich.

       What did we order??

      Eggs Benedict:

      A common item you will see on an Irish menu, and true to its form, this traditional meal was so tasty! The eggs come poached on top of sliced pancetta, covered with hollandaise sauce, and placed on an english muffin. The side consisted of their famous ‘Roasties’, aka potatoes covered with select herbs and spices.

      Pancake Diaspora:

      6 full sized pancakes were served topped with creme fraiche, fresh strawberries and blueberries, maple syrup, and garnished with mint. The pancakes were fluffy and consistent all the way through and just melt in your mouth delicious!

      Full Irish Breakfast:

      A favorite at Raglan Road, the Full Irish Breakfast offers everything you could expect as if you were dining in Ireland itself. This dish includes eggs, black dog, schnitzel, three times a boxty (gammon topped with cheddar), veggies, and roasties. Each of the flavors blended so perfectly together and made the experience that much better.

      Burger ‘R Way:

      This large beef burger was topped with a Dublin cheddar cheese, tomato chutney, and avocado. With a side of Irish style chips (steak fries), this combo was an authentic Irish taste combined with an all-American favorite.

      Desserts are offered as well, which include:

      Strawberry and Apple Crumble

      Raspberry Pavlova

      Bread and Butter Pudding

      Triful Sinful

      Lemon Curd Tart

      Orange Pudding

      Black Forest ‘Kiss’

      Upon finishing our Brunch at around 12pm, the Irish band and tap dancers started to set up on the large indoor stage. The band were very interactive with the crowd, asking questions and sharing knowledge on each song they played. Irish tap dancers took turns to head up on the main stage, as well as the smaller stages in the middle of the room to perform.

      All together, Raglan Road is a wonderful experience for all to enjoy, even little toddlers were clapping their hands and dancing with excitement!

      Brunch at Raglan Road is available every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-3pm. We suggest making a reservation for around 11am-12pm since the band and tap dancers don’t set up until around then, and they are definitely worth seeing.

      Prices at Raglan Road for Brunch range from approximately: $15- $30 per main course and $8.50 for all desserts.

       For more information on Raglan Road, or other brunch options at Walt Disney World, contact My VIP Tour at (407) 913-8375.
