Gold Lounges at Walt Disney World

Gold is for our favourite lounges, these places are our must visits. The Gold category has everything, from amazing theme, great food and drinks. These lounges are as dear to us as some of the rides at Walt Disney World.

Geyser Point Bar & Grill

Geyser Point Bar & Grill is definitely one of our favourite places to visit. Geyser Point Bar & Grill is located at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. If it is really crowded during the day at Magic Kingdom we like to take the boat to Wilderness Lodge and relax at Geyser Point. We feel that the lounge is really accessible even if you are not staying at Wilderness Lodge as you can just take the boat.

Mjau, Delicious food and drinks! I'm in heaven!

The lounge is right by Bay Lake. The view is amazing and it feels so relaxing there. You do not have a view to Magic Kingdom or Contemporary Resort. We actually like this as it transports you to another world. Mjau, it reminds us of our old summer cottage in Finland. Geyser Point is especially nice when it is hot outside as you get a small cooling breeze from the bay. One downside with this lounge is that you can get unlucky with the seating. We usually come back later or wait if we do not get the seat we want. Mjau, we want to sit in the lounge chairs closest to the bay. We will accept any of their lounge chairs, however the regular chairs are just unacceptable! Mjau!

Delicious burgers!


The drinks here are great and we usually get a Mai Tai or anything else with Rum. The food at Geyser Point is also really delicious. Better than most lounges. We have tried different burgers and fried oysters and have not been disappointed once. This is one of the few lounges we go to for the food as well as the drinks.

Mjau, more burgers and drinks!



Nomad Lounge
Delicious cocktails and relaxing view!

Nomad Lounge is a definite must-visit for us. Nomads Lounge is located on Discovery Island in Animal Kingdom. Nomad Lounge is connected to Tiffins restaurant and is right by the bridge to Pandora. Before Pandora opened the Nomad Lounge was really relaxed, now you can see people walking across the bridge. There is however enough vegetation that it does not feel that crowded. You can get seating outside or inside. We prefer to sit outside by the railing closest to the water. Mjauhihi, we usually turn the chairs so we do not have to see other guests and get an unobstructed view of the lake and forest. We have never had any issues finding seats at Nomad Lounge and the lounge being in Animal Kingdom makes it extremely accessible.

Even reading the menu is an experience!

Delicious and interesting food! 

Delicious drink! Mjauhihi Aunties only got water!


We really like the drinks here, the Leaping Lizard is our favourite. The food here is also really good and different from regular bar and lounge food. You can also ask your server for Tiffins menu and get a snack or appetiser from there. The menu at Nomad Lounge changes very often which is a good thing as you get to try new things all the time. A downside is that if you have a favourite on the menu it might not be there on your next visit.

Delicious food and a non-alcoholic beverage for a change!


 The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge

Delicious margarita flight!

The Hollywood Brown Derby is located at Hollywood Boulevard in Disney's Hollywood Studios. This is a Lounge that has slowly grown on us. We did not leave our first visit that impressed. Mjau, however now it has become one of our favourite lounges and a must visit during our Walt Disney World trips. In our earlier draft we had actually put The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge in the Silver Category.

Mjau, really delicious and refreshing food!


We really enjoy the location. It is right by Hollywood Boulevard and the walkway is almost always crowded. There is enough fences and trees that the crowds do not disturb your visit if you sit closer to the wall. Mjau, if you sit right by the fence, as we did on our first visit, it can start to feel stressful with all the people walking in a rush. Mjau, you are also able to catch the March of the First Order from the lounge. The drinks here are delicious and the food is also really tasty. Mjau, we really enjoy the Margarita Flight. It is really a great value for money. You basically get tree drinks for almost the price of one, which is amazing at Walt Disney World. They also have a Martini Flight, however we prefer Margaritas. We also really enjoyed the Mini Dessert Trio that they offered. You get to select three desserts you want from a list of around five. It is perfect for us as we get bored easily and like to try different things. The downside to The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is that as it is so accessible and visible, it is usually crowded and it could be difficult to get a table.

Delicious dessert trio!

Destination Unknown Part 3

Si and Au in Zagreb! We were happy to finally arrive in Zagreb Croatia. Our butler had filled the Enter Croatia form so we entered the country without hassle. We took the bus from the airport and walked to our new home for the next few days. We stayed in our apartment in Zagreb for three nights. It was a really nice apartment with a small kitchenette. The only downside was that the apartment had a single bed. Mjau, we had to share the bed with our butler so it got a bit crowded. Apartments Lucky Place in Zagreb. It's wonderful to have our own kitchen! It was a breath of fresh air to be in Croatia. The restrictions regarding covid-19 are not as strict here. You still have to wear a facemask inside. Otherwise things are as usual.  Shopping in Zagreb! We mostly walked around town and did some Christmas shopping. We also visited the Museum of Broken Relationships. It is a very interesting and unique museum. People from all over the world donate items related to a broken relationship. A...

First Visit to Shanghai Disneyland

Mjau, our first family photo in front of the castle! Mjau, last December we finally visited Shanghai Disneyland. We wanted to spend Christmas at Hong Kong Disneyland, so it was the perfect opportunity to visit Shanghai Disneyland as well and take advantage of the 144-hour visa free transit rule. Mjau, on our way to Shanghai! Mjau, the elegant Shanghai Disneyland Hotel during the night! After the long flight from Finland to Shanghai we took the Taxi to our hotel, the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. We were really impressed by the hotel! The hotel had an elegant Art Deco theme. We will tell you more about the hotel in our Shanghai Disneyland Hotel Review! We really liked all the Fantasia details in the café and the lounge. Positively amazing!  Mjau, the view from the hotel is amazing! Across the lake you could see Disneyland, the castle is so big you can easily see it from the hotel. Tomorrowland also looks extra inviting from the hotel in the evenings, wit...

Destination Unknown: Part 1

Bu at Old Town Square in Prague. We had a wonderful start to 2020. We had just visited Shanghai Disneyland for the first time and we celebrated Christmas in Hong Kong Disneyland. We had a wonderful New Year in Taiwan. Our butler had gotten a steady job on the side of being our butler and we got an apartment in Lahti, Finland. However, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Covid-19 arrived.  After being stuck in our apartment for most of the year we had finally had enough. We made the decision to give up the apartment. We packed our biggest suitcase and booked a flight to Prague a few days prior to our departure. Si enjoying lunch at Espresso House. It was an interesting experience being at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. So quiet and empty! Thankfully Espresso House was still open and we got to enjoy a Pumpkin Latte and Chicken-Mozarella Focaccia while making plans for our trip. At Espresso House we booked our first hotel in Prague. Our lovely room 41 at Hotel U Pr...
