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 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…

  • 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.

🎙️ Honored to be a guest on “The Empower Hour”—The Women Radio Network LIVE!  to discuss “Women’s Voices: Overcoming Obstacles.” 

🌿 Every woman has a divine purpose that can be realized at any age, season, and stage of life.
No dream is too late, and no obstacle is too great when faith, perseverance, and purpose lead the way.

🧖‍♀️ I also shared why self-care is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Our mental and physical health are the foundation of our strength, creativity, and calling. When we care for ourselves, we honor the God-given purpose within us.

💖 To all women walking through challenges—remember, your story matters. Your voice has power. And your purpose is unstoppable.

🎧 Thank you, The Women Radio Network, for amplifying women’s voices and creating space for honest, empowering conversations. The episode can be streamed on YouTube Live and anywhere you listen to podcasts tomorrow.

💚Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. Special needs families experience mental distress 5 times as often as those without disabilities. 
🧩 Joshua is a child who is autistic and had a new diagnosis of focal seizures last year. Through prayer and medication, he has been great and has not had a seizure in many months! 🙌
💔However, yesterday, we were unceremoniously informed that Joshua had been dismissed from the private special needs school he had attended for almost five years and that his last day of school was today. The only reason was that the school’s leadership did not want to administer the (easy) life-saving emergency seizure rescue medication he needs if a seizure occurs at school. 
💉The medication is an injection that is given in the arm or leg if he has a seizure. To quote the Doctor who showed us how to do it: “This is so simple even a child can do this.”
✏️The school where I have served as President of the Parent Teacher Fellowship for the past two years has seen my family and me dedicate countless hours volunteering over the last five years—not just with our time or sweat equity but also by contributing resources, expertise, monetary support, promoting initiatives, &, most importantly, showing loyalty. 
🙌 As a mother, advocate, and #SpecialNeeds Pastor, we move forward the same way we always have, especially where Joshua is concerned—in total faith. Some things occur that we don’t understand why they are happening at the time or place they did. Only God knows the answer to that. (Deuteronomy 29:29). All we have to do is trust and believe that He knows what is best. He wants us to live a whole and abundant life. (John 10:10). Joshua’s life verse is “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11).
What was meant for harm will be turned around for good. This temporary test will be added to our testimony.
Joshua’s life has already been the launchpad and inspiration of @HopeTorchlighters, #BuddyBreak, & others that support #specialneeds families. This sweet boy will continue to thrive & God will continue to use Him! 🙌💙 #TeamJoshua #JoshuasAngels

I thank our beloved Sr. Pastors Dr. @pastortonymccoy & @pastorjodiemccoy for taking the time to honor the Pastoral Team at @hopeinternationalchurch! Serving alongside such a loving group of Pastors committed to God and the community is a true blessing. Through @hopetorchlighters, we've made a difference in the lives of over 4,000 families with special needs and neurodiverse members in Lake County and across the U.S., online since 2018. We offer #BuddyBreak Respite Care, Beacon of Hope Support Group, holiday meals and gifts, educational classes, activities for children and adults, therapy, and more. When I'm not at church on Sunday, I am privileged to share life's moments with these families — from attending a birthday party for a child with a disability to counseling an entire family to understand that a child's diagnosis isn't just the parents' duty but also a family responsibility to love and care for that child. Here's to many more blessings — the best is yet to come! Happy Pastor Support Appreciation Day! #pastor #pastorsappreciation #specialneeds #hopetorchlighters #drjoscelynramoscampbell

🇺🇸Dad was a survivor of the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. Sadly, he is now officially recognized as one of the thousands of victims who passed away (almost 20 years later to the day) due to an aerodigestive illness from the fumes that he breathed that day. I’m sharing his story once again so that we never forget, especially for the younger generations. See in the slides above. ➡️ Let’s always remember the fallen heroes among the first responders, law enforcement, victims, their families, and survivors.

🇺🇸 The loss of lives in wars, battles, and attacks has a lasting impact on history. 9/11 was no exception, with nearly 3,000 people dying in coordinated attacks at the World Trade Center buildings in New York, the Pentagon, and a field in rural Pennsylvania.

🇺🇸In the years since the attack, tens of thousands of first responders, law enforcement, and survivors have died (or become gravely sick) due to cancer or aerodigestive illnesses because of their exposure to noxious gases, dust, and chemicals. More people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were lost in the initial September 11, 2001  attacks, according to the 20th Anniversary Special Report from the “Never Forget the Heroes” Act and CDC. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland wrote in the report, “…it is important to acknowledge that the tragedy of that day continues.”

🇺🇸 May we remember and pray for the victims and all those still suffering the effects of 9/11 physically, emotionally, and mentally. May God give everyone the comfort they need. We will never forget and we will remember our fallen heroes, brothers, and sisters today and always.
