Avu-Avu Restaurant : Experience Quality All-You-Can-Eat Family-Style Tropical Feast at Affordable Prices and Giveaway #AvuAvuCrew

in disney, entertainment, families, family outing, food, giveaways, holidays, parenting, reviews, savings, travel on 03/29/13

After our wonderful experience last Fall during our #MOMBVPalace trip, we are true fans of the Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa, an official hotel of the Walt Disney World Resort that is ideally located directly across from the Downtown Disney area at 1900 E Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830.  The amenities are truly for adults and children to enjoy from children’s playground and arcade to full service salon and spa for adults.   In addition to the fun amenities, the dining choices create a wonderfully inviting atmosphere for families and couples, especially at the Avu-Avu Restaurant!

As part of the #AvuAvuCrew media event, we were able to experience first-hand Avu-Avu.  Its is an all-you-can-eat, family-style tropical feast featuring an array of meat skewers flame-grilled that are deliciously prepared with unique and flavorful seasonings.  What we loved about Avu-Avu…

Trending
Family Friday with Kamy Moss: EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival

  • The beautiful open kitchen and tropical decor.
  • When you think all-you-can-eat family-style dining, your mind goes to buffets or waiting in long lines – not at Avu-Avu! Fantastic table service with friendly staff create a very pleasant experience.
  • Fun fruity drinks, i.e. mango strawberry colada with a touch of spiced rum (that are available ‘virgin’ style for the kids).
  • The food….AWESOME! Avu-Avu has some of the most uncommon combination of seasonings that truly develop into a really delicious dish. Some of entrees include Guava Chai Rib Bites, Coffee Colada Chicken Breast, Root Beer BBQ Pork, Citrus Ginger Shrimp, and Kalbi Marinated Sirloin. 
  • A fun and very tasty take on tres leche cake (coconut milk cake) is their signature dessert, Caramelized Pineapple Coconut Milk Cake.



Since food is important in our household of a teen boy, preschool identical twin boys, and a hubby, we wanted the opinion of our resident teen reviewer, Joseph, (who had experienced our #MOMBVPalace trip last Fall).  We were delighted that he was able to partake in the #AvuAvuCrew event, and he REALLY liked the atmosphere, decor, and food.  He liked not having to get up and walk around just to get a new plate food.  As growing teen, the all-you-can-eat feature allowed him to eat to his heart’s content and not disrupt the family dining experience by not getting up from the table as you commonly have to when eating at a buffet. (The grilled meats were among his favorite dishes).

Are you looking to have a family outing and spend some quality time around the table without breaking the bank? Looking for a new date night restaurant? Have an upcoming business dinner? Adults prices are $29.95 and children are $13.95 for all-you-can-eat.

Thanks to the Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa and Avu-Avu restaurant, we are offering a gift certificate for dinner for two valued up to $75.00! (If you don’t live locally, you have plenty of time to get to Orlando since the gift certificate is valid until 1/31/16).  Enter for the chance to win via the Rafflecopter link below.

The holidays can be beautiful… but for many grieving parents — especially special needs parents — this season hurts in ways most people never see.

Between disrupted routines, sensory overload, and the ache of missing someone you love, December can feel overwhelming. And here’s what most don’t realize:

Nearly HALF of Christians stop attending church after losing a loved one… not because they’ve lost their faith, but because they feel the church doesn’t know how to walk with them through grief.
These families aren’t leaving God —
they’re leaving because they feel unseen in their pain.

As someone who advocates for families of ALL abilities, I’m sharing a new blog post today on how we can support grieving loved ones — especially special needs parents — with compassion, faith, and presence this holiday season.

If someone in your life is grieving, please don’t stay silent.
Say their loved one’s name.
Offer specific help.
Create space for their emotions.
Pray with them.
Walk with them — gently, consistently, faithfully.

Because no parent should have to grieve alone during the holidays.

🏆 Earlier this week, I was once again filled with thankfulness, love, and faith. 
🏆 I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Home Health Care USA for naming me the “Latina American Caregiver of the Year!” 
🏆 Caregivers are among the unsung heroes in our society, and there are many different types of caregivers. For instance, the “Sandwich Generation” refers to individuals who are caring for both their aging parents and their children simultaneously. These caregivers often provide physical, emotional, and financial support. More than 50% of Americans in their 40s and 50s are currently caring for both their children and their senior parents—and usually without any help from extended family. 
🏆 Some caregivers dedicate their entire lives to caring for a child—or children—with disabilities into adulthood. Unfortunately, many caregiving parents or family members do not get a break or have quality time for themselves. About 50% of couples with special needs or neurodiverse children end up getting divorced. 
🏆 Having experienced both of these caregiving situations and still living within them, being named “Latina American Caregiver of the Year” means more to me than just an award. It symbolizes the millions of unpaid caretakers across the country who provide loving, effective care for family members or friends. 
🏆 I also want to extend my gratitude to all those who have followed my caregiving journey the past 17 years, including my care for my beloved late parents and my superhero, Joshua, on my social channels, Mami of Multiples, and Dr. Joscelyn Ramos Campbell. The BEST is yet to come! 🙌 
🌎 Lastly, congratulations to all my fellow winners standing on stage. Your work in your communities helps make the world a better place!
