During our most recent trip to Walt Disney World Resort, we headed over to Splitsville Orlando for some family time. It was a welcomed change of pace from the hustle and bustle of the parks and is a great opportunity for your family members to bring out their competitive sides.
You’re going to love the retro decor of the place! It features brightly colored accents, hand-painted murals and other fun touches.
They even have Minnie and Mickey details on the bowling balls! You can bet I grabbed the hot pink Minnie Mouse ball right away! It just doesn’t get any better than that!

Once you’re checked in and your bowling shoes are ready, you are shown to your lane, where you have unlimited bowling for the duration of your reservation. 
You can sit comfortably at your lane-side dining table while you wait for your next turn to bowl and your friendly Splitsville server will keep any food and drinks coming that you order from their amazing menu. (Keep reading for more about the food.)
Dining at Splitsville is like nothing you’ve experienced at a bowling alley before! You have the option of dining inside or outside at Splitsville and don’t even have to be there for bowling to dine there. However, eating and bowling is like the ultimate way to make yourself feel like a kingpin!
Splitsville has taken “typical” bowling alley food and turned it up about 10 notches, to offer things such as:
Other dining offerings at Splitsville include appetizers, desserts, and a Kids Menu.
The drink menu at Splitsville Luxury Lanes is as extensive as the food menu and includes Frozen Drinks, Bowl Drinks, and Specialty Cocktails, as well as draft beer, bottle beer, and wine. There are also non-alcoholic options including 130+ varieties of sodas and teas. Any drink, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, can be ordered and served in a 28 oz.

From the moment we brought home our cats, a momma and her kitten, we vowed to shower them with love and cuddles and pamper them as much as possible.
After such a rough start to their lives, our cats deserve to be spoiled. “Lucy” and “Lilly Belle” have filled our hearts and taken over our home. The sky’s the limit at our house for these two.

I adore watching my daughter interact with our cats. She has such a special bond with them, especially the younger one. Prior to their adoption, she begged for a pet and now that we have them, I like to involve her in helping out with some of their daily pampering.

I created a “Kitty Accountability Chart” to help track my daughter’s daily cat-related responsibilities.
