Stew, Step-Dancing, and More at Raglan Road

Hey guys! I made another visit to Disney Springs, this time to go to a restaurant called Raglan Road. It features some traditional Irish entrées, such as fish and chips, beef stew, and delicious mashed potatoes, but also has some non-Irish foods, some with that Ireland twist. Some examples of those are “Mammy’s Roast Chicken,” steak, burgers, and risotto.


Inside, there are many tables, some in rooms off to the side. The restaurant is decorated to look like a typical Irish pub, with lots of wood and accents like pretty stained-glass windows. In the main room, there is a stage tucked into the wall and a little platform for solo performers in the middle. Some tables are just feet away from the stages!


On the stages, you will find fiddle players, bands, and step-dancers—all Irish! Sometimes the step-dancers will pick random kids from the audience to come on stage. Then the professional dancers teach them some moves and they perform for the restaurant!


Lastly, this eatery is also very good for kids. The kids’ menu has six entrée options—grilled chicken, a cheeseburger, fried chicken tenders, fish and chips, mac and cheese, and shepherd’s pie. The restaurant is also decently loud, so if a young kid starts yelling, the music and happy diners will hide the sound.


I got the kids “Little Big Burger,” which is a beef burger topped with Dubliner cheddar cheese. For my side, I ordered mashed potatoes, which were served in a bowl with an interesting shape, as seen above. The burger was a decent size and juicy, and the mashed potatoes were deeeeeelicious!



The rest of my family chose more traditional Irish dishes. My mom got fish and chips, my dad got bangers and mash, and my aunt got beef stew. I tried everyone’s dish and really liked my dad’s sausage and my mom’s chips/French fries. If you’re in the mood for Irish food and a good time, Raglan Road is the place for you!

    Sounds like a fun place! I'll have to check it out next time I'm at Disney.

Fun in the Sun at Sun-N-Fun!

Image
Welcome back! I have someplace really fun to tell you about, called Sun-N-Fun. Sun-N-Fun is a private RV resort in Sarasota, Florida, but from April to Labor Day the pool and some activities there are open to the public. The pool area features an Olympic-size pool, an inflatable obstacle course floating on an indoor pool, a tall twisty waterslide, two hot tubs, a poolside bar and grill, and sometimes bungee jumping and "the Meltdown." The indoor obstacle course is made by Wibit Sports and is set up on the surface of an indoor pool. There are two long strips of obstacles, going in opposite ways. It is kind of something like American Ninja Warrior , with things to run on, jump over, and climb up. I really liked the Wibit. It is fun to challenge and race your friends, but also go by yourself and get better at it. In my opinion, one side was easier than the other, but both were fun. Every time you do it, you get a little bit better. I think falling off and...

Cool Stay at Coronado Springs

Image
Hi everyone! I’m really sorry that I haven’t posted in so long, but this summer, I’m back! Over this Memorial Day weekend, I visited Walt Disney World with friends and family, and I had a great time! First, our amazing hotel. We stayed at Coronado Springs (click here for their website), a resort we had never stayed at before. Coronado Springs is a Mexican-themed resort, featuring Disney’s very own Tres Caballeros. Inside the common area, or El Centro, you can find a sit-down restaurant, called the Maya Grill, Rix Sports Bar and Grill, a large food court, and a gift shop. In the center of the resort, there is a large lake with a sandy area surrounding it. On this sandy area, you can find many hammocks to relax on (which I thought was really cool). The hotel itself is great, but so is the location! Coronado Springs is only a very short drive or bus ride away from Epcot and Animal Kingdom, and not too far away from Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom. The gu...

Whirling Down Slides and Wading in Streams

Image
Hey guys! I have another entry about Pennsylvania for you!! I went to the Kids' Castle Playground , located in Central Park in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  The castle is made of mostly wood, something you don’t see on as many playgrounds today. It is like a maze inside, because there are so many twists, turns, and many different ways to go. I would not recommend it for claustrophobic people because some of the tunnels and pathways can get small and narrow! Did you know that the playground is eight stories tall? There are two green, enclosed tube slides. The slides start at a very high part of the castle. They are very twisty and are kind of like a giant spiral down. Something else I like about the playground is that it has lots of pieces of artwork on it, as can be seen above. The playground also has a smaller “pirate ship” for little kids to play on, and some other things to do such as two “rock” towers you can climb on. Just behind the fenced...
