This week on the Mouse Minutes Podcast, Whitney + Jordan are joined by special guests Alexandra and Barry Peterson as the group steps inside the twilight atmosphere of San Angel Inn Restaurante in EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion. With glowing lanterns, perpetual nighttime vibes, and the Gran Fiesta Tour boats drifting by, this has become one of the most iconic dining locations in World Showcase.

But is the atmosphere alone enough to make it a must-do Walt Disney World dining reservation, or does the food leave something to be desired?

Listen in as we share our experiences, final grades, and whether San Angel Inn Restaurante makes the grade for your next EPCOT visit.

This week on the Mouse Minutes Podcast, Whitney + Jordan return to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. But this time, we packed fresh perspective.

We’ve talked about this iconic Walt Disney World resort before… but after staying there again, we experienced it in a whole new way. From late-night boat rides to quiet mornings in the grand lobby, Wilderness Lodge hits differently when you slow down and take it all in.

So... did it live up to what we remembered… or did our opinion change?

Listen in as we revisit the rooms, atmosphere, dining, and overall experience, then share our updated grades to help you decide if Wilderness Lodge still makes the grade for your next Disney vacation.
