WDW Dining Review: Olivia's Cafe Brunch | Walt Disney World

[@juliedennis8578]

Deni, we missed you when you left the dis. Love your videos.

[@jeffjones6582]

I have a brunch reservation 2 hours after my plane lands on August 1 and this review has got me super excited! Almost as excited as seeing Deni back on KZbin!! Hope to see you around property in August to say hi!!

I always take Weds off from vacation. Brunch would be a delightful start with some pool lounging afterwards. As far as which resort, honestly the best off day I ever had was at a side pool (not the main one) at Caribbean Beach resort. Fantastically peaceful.

Looks great! I'm in the middle of planning a family trip in April, with a 5 year old, 14 year old and 5 adults. I've been pulling my hair out lately trying to make sure everyone gets to do "all the things", and it's impossible. Thank you for the reminder that you can't do all the things and survive a trip to WDW! The best trip my wife and I had as adults only was when we took a break every afternoon from the parks to get some rest before heading to dinner and back in the parks. We were still tired, but not utterly exhausted.

We have been DVC members since 1993. Old Key West is our home resort. Olivia’s has always been our favorite place to eat. We have never been disappointed with the food or the service provided by the cast members at Olivia’s.

[@wdwnanab6221]

Oh my the grits! They make the best grits I have had anywhere!! Totally amazing. And I too love the banana bread. Love Olivia's!

[@nycp1969]

I've had my nicest resort-only days at my two home resorts--Animal Kingdom Villas and Riviera. AKV has so much to do. I love the animals, of course, but I also love the authentic art and the cultural ambassadors. Riviera is pure luxury. Sitting on a lounger at either the Riviera or Beau Soleil pool is decadent--they're really high quality loungers! I'm doing a Riv trip with two resort days in July and you have convinced me to go to Olivia's for brunch one of those days! It's only a short drive. Thanks, Deni!

[@dis-springs]

Homecomin' has the best brunch in WDW. I keep wanting to try the brunch at The Waldorf Astoria in Bonnet Creek. Soooo many good reviews! ... Someday. 😋

[@ericgraff7338]

We love you, Deni, and we LOVE Olivia’s! Thank you for your wonderful content!

[@deni_sunderly]

❤❤❤thanks a million, Eric!

[@georgeabruzzo7705]

Stayed at Old Key West and ate at Olivia’s a few years ago (pre-Covid). It’s a lovely resort. A great place to relax and unwind. We had a nice meal at Olivia’s. They had the conch fritters at the time. Thanks for the review.

[@dianeelse5051]

Hi Deni my husband and I were the ones waving to you as you were on the dock of Olivia’s. We were on the boat that just left the dock. It is a great eating spot! We love all you videos Your food reviews are great! You are so eloquent and concise. You share the prices We are DVC owners Come to Disney as often as we can. Long drive from PA…but worth it!! Hope to get a chance to chat with you one of these times Missed you by minutes !!

[@bridgetdunn8065]

Another great review, thanks Deni!

[@marjchan]

Such a fun vlog. Hoping to visit Olivia's one day. Never been. Hoping to visit resort one day too. I usually spend time at AKL on non park days. Port Orleans French Quarter too. Grabbing beignet and coffee and later sit staring at river as boats go by.

[@jcrotchfeltjr]

My wife and granddaughter and myself had dinner here, and it was some wonderful. I had prime rib cooked perfectly. My wife had the salmon, and it was very good. My granddaughter had the kids' burger and fries, and she enjoyed it . Thanks for the review. I'm so happy to see you. Got to get the hubby on camera with you 😆

[@deni_sunderly]

I’m so glad that you loved your meal!!❤ And he will, I’m sure!

[@jeanmacfarland1428]

Checking into OKW on Sunday-can't wait. And we love Olivia's.

[@deni_sunderly]

Yay!! I hope that you have the best time on your visit, Jean! ❤️

[@blackrock2712]

Oh my gosh, we were in the booth next to you while you were filming! Next time, try the shrimp ‘n grits, they are fabulous 😃 Great video!

[@deni_sunderly]

Holy cow!! Love that! ❤❤❤ Thanks for the recommendation on the shrimp and grits, Black Rock!

[@jackpast]

Hi Deni! We go to Olivia’s for breakfast at least once every trip! My girl loves the Parrot Punch and I love their Bloody Mary. The unique food choices are great. Gonna try those pancakes now because of you!

[@erinbrown9631]

Oh! I missed seeing you! Thanks for this post! You are the best!

[@deni_sunderly]

❤Thank you so much for watching, Erin!

[@robynellen859]

another great review thanks Denni

[@scotth1042]

Old Key West is one of our favorite DVC resorts - love it! Olivia's is amazing!

[@deni_sunderly]

❤️ it’s just such a neat place! Thanks a bunch for watching, Scott!

[@jennytrushenski9607]

We love Olivia’s for the laid back vibe and tasty food. The buttermilk fried chicken is top notch, but breakfast/brunch is great too. Hope they can boost those menu choices back up to pre pandemic levels!

[@deni_sunderly]

It’s a really special place, isn’t it? ❤️ Thanks so much for watching, Jenny!

[@lesliereynolds4492]

I’m so glad you mentioned the boat to Disney Springs because I am trying to figure out a schedule to do a week in Orlando. I’ll probably be by myself so want to do a different vacation than I’m used to. Epcot but more Universal this time. Looking forward to Mardi Gras after missing it for 3 years and a return to Home and Garden. I know your review of this restaurant is the best one I’ve ever seen.

[@dee_mcgee11]

I booked a room at Old Key West for July 4th and plan to spend the day at Disney Springs.

[@lieselnobles]

I really need to make it to Olivia's- it has been on my list for awhile. One of my most favorite things about being DVC is being able to plan non-park days, knowing that I will be back soon, so there is no reason to pack so much into each day! A real game-changer, for sure. Thanks, Deni!

[@deni_sunderly]

I love that, Liesel! That takes all the pressure off. Whew! Thanks so much for watching ❤

[@helenebassin8608]

Hi Deni!! You had me at the word "Brunch!!" My favorite type of meal!! Thanks for presenting another option for Hubby and I to try!! Great video!!!!

[@deni_sunderly]

Thanks so much, Helene!🍴❤️

[@larrylewis1099]

We have never been to old key west…it seems so out of the way. Our trips tend to be just five nights so I get six days of tickets. We will return for the first time since covid next month. I enjoyed this video and will think about a brunch there. Take care and I wish you all the best on your solo efforts.

[@laurelhansen4514]

Nice work Deni!

[@netty1221]

This was a great review 😊 thanks I booked a reservation

[@mickeysmyspiritanimal223]

Yay! It’s my Beautiful Deni!👸🏼🥰 I love your reviews! Your last review of Ale and Compass, led me to make a reservation there in 3 weeks for the Shrimp and Grits! Now, you are at Olivia’s eating shrimp fritters!😜 So, I must ask, which is your favorite brunch place between the two? Ale and Compass or Olivia’s?🥳🎉🤔😜

[@chuckschaefer9477]

Deni, have stayed at Old Key West several times - including the days when it WAS The Disney Vacation Club. I think it is a hidden gem!

[@deni_sunderly]

Love that, Chuck! It’s just such a lovely resort!❤️🌴

[@marisettecollazo7668]

Love the Video thank u for giving me a new place to have Brunch ❤️

[@deni_sunderly]

You are so welcome, Marisette! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@c-bee2904]

Did I just text a friend and make brunch plans for Saturday? Well yes, yes I did lol.

[@terrys4179]

Thanks for the review Deni. I love listening to you!

[@deni_sunderly]

Thanks so, so much for watching, Terry!

[@RachaelCDressage]

Loved this video!!

[@susanpettit8751]

Shrimp Fritters!! Yes Please! AT first glance I thought the plate that your entree was on was a rug/mat! Lol. Another good non park day brunch would be Boma - going to Animal Kingdom Lodge is always a pleasure for us Brunch or dinner so we get to wander around the hotel and then go to the Savannah and see the animals.

[@deni_sunderly]

Yes! Boma would be PERFECT, Susan! ❤

[@ainsleyperry5192]

Deni, For brunch one should alway's take a leaf out of the actor, the late Steve McQueen's book. He always recomended starting with a large Gin Refresher. So I'll drink your one. When first built Old Key West was to be the only D.V.C. hotel on property. Thats why it sprawls so much and built where it is. I alway's think a nice brunch menu should alway's have a nice but smaller choice of items. I for one could dive into that dessert of Banana Bread Pudding. Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@56strine]

I did hit the notification bell. You and your Hubby can always view my family photos on Instagram. I know we are all still in mourning after our Niners loss. I will not even bring up the fact. That our Head Coach not throwing that red challenge flag. On that obvious dropped pass. Really got the snow ball rolling in our disfavor. I have been to SSR and the AKL. I have not been to OKW. I can easily get SSR or OKW via RCI or Interval International exchange. We love taking that boat from SSR to Disney Springs. I am 66 years of age and retired. My wifey will be 62 this June. She wants to work at Kaiser Hospital until she reaches the age of 65. We will have our house in Santa Clara, California. Paid off in less than 6 years. We will sell our house in 6 years. We will than look to buy a house close to Disneyland. Don’t get me wrong. We love visiting Disneyworld, Florida. We would just miss the hills and mountains in California. We especially love Yosemite, Bass Lake and Lake Tahoe. We would also miss our family in California. My wifey and I could not live full time in Florida.

[@maryjomw]

This was a fun watch, Deni!

[@deni_sunderly]

❤️❤️❤️ Thanks so much for watching, Mary Jo! Much love to you!

[@jackiecampana4677]

Thanks will definitely try on my next trip.

[@deni_sunderly]

please let me know what you think when you do, Jackie! ❤

[@lindamemo5224]

We always eat there it’s always reliable great food best fried chicken.

[@buffalobuck15]

"Bless it's heart."

[@TitleWaive1]

Hit a golf ball into Old Key West - oops! 🤣

[@deni_sunderly]

Lol! Love that, TitleWaive1! ⛳️

[@bobdaniels9556]

Hi Deni, Thanks for your great video's. Have you been to Trails Inn at Fort Wilderness, will you be going there, one last time. Take care, Deni

[@deni_sunderly]

Trail's End is a family favorite, Bob. I'm so sad that it's going away, but I understand the possible reasons as to why. And yes, there will definitely be one last visit. ❤ Thanks so much for watching!

[@jarrettc7215]

Deni…I am not sure I am a fan of you giving out our secrets…we are dvc okw owners and Olivia is our go to lunch spot to relax when it’s hot in the summer. The waitress knows us and I always seem to want something not on the menus. She used to hook me up with a Kick butt BLT on whole grain bread and they know our little girl likes her grilled cheese with pickles on it! Love OKW

[@deni_sunderly]

Lol! So sorry, Jarrett!! Now I want a grilled cheese. With pickles.

[@scottyballgame985]

Wifey poo and I just stayed at OKW for 4 night. I was honestly disapointed with Olivias and also Goods food to go. Olivias was just a bland boring meal. The resort however was gorgeous. We just wished thr dining options were better here.
