Yes, there's heat, the rain and the fun of summer at Disney World. But what's true, what's a myth and what should you do to make your summer stay at Walt Disney World a little more fun?

 

Top Picks for What to Do at Disney World in the Summer:

 

·       Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

·       Horseback Riding at Fort Wilderness

·       Kali River Rapids

·       Foot Golf at Golden Oak Golf Course

·       Outdoor patio dining at The Boathouse

·       Private Fireworks Cruise

 

Remember, when visiting the parks, travel light and the skip the ponchos (you don't want to be a boil-in-bag).

Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen has a new look, a new name and new menu. Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio, is described as "a modern, casual and fun celebration of the Gulf and Pacific coasts."

The new all-day menu features long-time favorites plus new selections such as Lobster & Crawfish Sliders, Chile-Spiced Honey Glazed Grilled Salmon, Gumbo LA-LA filled with succulent seafood, the Grilled Open Faced Lobster BLT Po-Boy and the Reef & Beef, an entrée of grilled shrimp and braised short ribs. The contemporary menu pairs with an expanded California wine list and seasonal seaside-style cocktails.

 

And don't forget the beignets. Beignets Expressed is a counter-service spot serving New Orleans beignets either classically (fried and topped with heaping mounds of powdered sugar) or as specialty glazed beignets, dipped, drizzled, and sprinkled in flavor. Selections include Snickerdoodle, Fruity Crunch and Bananas Foster.

Clyde’s Hot Chicken is a new food cart located near the Disneyland Monorail station. It serves Nashville hot chicken on a stick, handmade fresh daily and available in three heat levels. If you want the heat, Disney says to try the Hot as Cali with cayenne and habanero spices.

The courtyard next to Splitsville Luxury Lanes is being transformed into a new space — The Alley — with interactive games, live music, lounge areas and seats for dining. It's a spot to relax, play games and enjoy the food and beverage offerings from Splitsville.
