We’ve been keeping an eye on construction at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, the new addition at the Swan and Dolphin Resort!

We decided to try breakfast at the table-service location Ale & Compass on our recent trip to Disney World. This restaurant is known for coastal, New-England style cuisine. We haven’t been blown away by this location in the past so we wanted to see how breakfast was holding up.

It’s getting pretty chilly as we head towards winter, even here at Disney World!
