Silver Lounges at Walt Disney World

Mjau, in the Silver Category we have put all the lounges that we think are great, but are missing that extra magic touch that would make them golden. We still feel they are worth visiting although we do not shed tears if we do not have time to visit them during our stay.

 Banana Cabana

The Banana Cabana Lounge is at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. We really like the food here at Banana Cabana. We had a delicious sandwich with sweet potato fries and got barbecue sauce on the side. You should also be able to get the delicious pull apart bread rolls that they serve at Sebastian's Bistro here. The drinks here are also really good. We really like the view over Barefoot Bay so sometimes we get a drink from the lounge and take it to one of the chairs on the boardwalk instead of sitting in the Lounge. The lounge is also right by the pool so it might get a bit noisy.

Delicious sandwich and fries at Banana Cabana!



We really like this lounge however would probably not visit unless we stayed at the resort. It is a nice lounge however it is not worth a 20 minute bus ride. With the new Sky Gondolas it might be worth a visit even if you are not staying at the resort.  The main issue with Banana Cabana is the location.

Mjau, enjoying our drink by the waterfront!


Trader Sam's Grog Grotto Lounge

Trader Sam's Grog Grotto Lounge is at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Visiting Trader Sam's Grog Grotto Lounge is definitely a special experience. It is a mix between Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room and The Jungle Cruise. The drinks are delicious and interesting and the food was good too, although nothing to really brag about. The drinks are also available at the Trader Sams Tiki Terrace. Trader Sam's Grog Grotto Lounge is almost more like an entertainment show then a lounge. Mjau, imagine a slightly less amazing version of The Enchanted Tiki Room, but with cocktail service. There are volcanic eruptions and angry Tiki Gods.

Delicious snacks and drinks at Trader Sam's Grog Grotto!


It was a really nice experience and a lounge we definitely recommend everyone to try at least once. However we will probably not visit again. It has very limited seating and you might have to share a table with strangers and even stand at the bar counter. Mjau, we prefer to be able to sit down and relax in peace. We sometimes get shy around strangers and hide in our butler's purse instead. It can also be a really long wait time until you get to go inside. They only let a limited amount of guests inside and this lounge is also very popular. We prefer flexible lounges where you get seated immediately. We were unsure if we should put Trader Sam's Grog Grotto Lounge in the Silver or in the Bronze Category. We decided on Silver as this really is an amazing and one of a kind lounge.

Mjau, dark in the grotto!

Tambu Lounge


The Tambu Lounge is also at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. The lounge is right by the Ohana Restaurant. Mjau, we really enjoy the tropical drinks at Tambu Lounge. They are so refreshing and delicious. We also sometimes order the delicious Ohana Bread Pudding while at the lounge.

Delicious cocktails!


This is one of the few lounges where we do not mind sitting at the bar counter. The bar stools are comfortable and do not feel rickety. The bar counter is also wide enough so we do not feel cramped. There are a few lounge chairs and tables, however those are usually not available. If you manage to snatch one you have an amazing view, although the view is sometimes blocked by strollers and children running around, as it is usually families with children that will sit down in the lounge chairs to wait for their reservation at Ohana's. This is a lounge we like to visit for the delicious drinks more than the atmosphere. Tambu Lounge is perfect if you do a Monorail Bar Crawl, however we would not go out of our way to visit this lounge, as the seating could be an issue. Mjau, and we can be a bit impatient.


Delicious Ohana Bread Pudding!




Scat Cat's Club Lounge

Scat Cat's Club is at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter. Mjau, we feel a bit conflicted about this lounge. It used to be one of our favourites, however they have had a refurbishment and we have not vistied the lounge since then. We will put Scat Cat's Club in the Silver Category for now, mjau. This lounge is our Granpas' favourite lounge. The interior is nice and cozy with rich and dark leather.  Sometimes you can even listen to live music while in the lounge.


Mjau, Delicious jazzed up beignets!


The drinks are delicious but the absolute highlight was the jazzed up beignets. You got three beignets with the choice of Baileys, Kahlúa, or RumChata. We always asked for one of each. Mjau the first time we were really surprised by the fillings. When we ordered the beignets we thought it would be a creamy filling with either Baileys, Kahlúa or RumChata flavour. Mjau, what we got was three beignets with three syringes filled with just Baileys, Kahlúa or RumChata. You got to fill your own beignets with the syringes, like a fun little science project. Positively delicious. After the first visit we had to skip getting a separate drink, as the jazzed up beignets were quite strong, mjau.

The atmosphere used to be really relaxing, even with the lively jazz music, however we have heard that with the adjoining café it has become more kid friendly and loud. Mjau!

The jazzed up beignets are the highlight!

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...
