This week we hopped on the monorail for a tour of all the resorts around Seven Seas Lagoon! We stopped by the Grand Floridian to check out their yearly Easter Egg display, checked out the latest cupcake to arrive at Contempo Cafe in the Contemporary Resort, and sipped on the new spiked Dole Whip drink at the Polynesian!

This frozen treat is a great mash up of a classic margarita and that new lime Dole Whip that has been taking over the parks. You’ll find this new drink at the Barefoot Pool Bar, but it will soon arrive at the Oasis Bar and Grill, too. Check out our full review here!
