Animal Kingdom – June 2018

We had one last day of vacation, so we did a day of Disney, and picked Animal Kingdom, partly so we’d have more time to explore Pandora. Also partly because it’s the most shaded park. And thirdly because I manage to snag fast passes for the boat ride, not something we wanted to wait on a line for. I enjoyed … Continue Reading →

Disney, April 2018 – Monday – Animal Kingdom

Monday was our last full day at Disney. (We had an early flight out Tuesday morning.) We spent it at Animal Kingdom – largely because that was the day I was able to score Fast Passes for the new Flight of Passage ride. I was curious to see all the Avatar stuff. I had been a little skeptical – I … Continue Reading →

Disney, April 2018 – Sunday – Epcot

Sunday morning was the Star Wars Half. Betsy, who is an amazing artist made a bunch of signs, which I eagerly agreed to use, since I had none. I did not end up catching Betsy, unfortunately. But I did see Doug, and Betsy’s race signs went over super well because they are awesome. I wish I was that talented. My … Continue Reading →

Disney, April 2018 – Saturday – Magic Kingdom

Saturday of our Disney trip was a Magic Kingdom day. We started out with a photoshoot. I got this Snow White sweater dress on sale at baby Gap (thanks Conley!) when I was pregnant and I was so so excited for her to wear it and she looked awesome. Baby pics this way. We bought Elena a teddy bear and … Continue Reading →

Disney, April 2018 – Friday – Epcot

This post is gonna have a ton of baby pictures AND a ton of Disney pictures, including food. So, fair warning. I’m almost glad it’s taken me so long to blog this because omg, my daughter is 10 months old now and is enormous, and no one told me how badly I would miss her being a little squishy. This … Continue Reading →

Disney Flower & Garden Day 4 (April 2017)

We’d had a bad breakfast at Cape May Cafe, but we’d passed Trattoria Al Forno and seen that they had an interesting looking breakfast (Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast) – . We took a chance on it. It was also a character breakfast but the food was OMG good and not a crappy buffet. Highly recommend. The characters were Ariel and … Continue Reading →

Disney Flower & Garden Day 3 (April 2017)

We started Day 3 with breakfast at the Cape May Cafe – we’d had breakfast there in the past and really liked it, but the food was awful this time. They had gotten rid of the crepe bar, and a lot of the food was cold, the bacon super greasy and congealed… it just was bad. And it was so … Continue Reading →

Disney Flower & Garden Day 2 (April 2017)

Day 2 of Flower & Garden & Food! We started out the morning at Hollywood Studios, checking out the Star Wars stuff. I love the jawas – and you can trade with them. I’d brought stuff to trade, but it must have been to early and they didn’t have anything to trade me for! Oh well. I got new light … Continue Reading →

Disney Flower & Garden Day 1 (April 2017)

In April, Doug and I took a long weekend at Disney for Flower & Garden (and food). We were really hoping for a relaxing stay because the previous time we had been there, we were waiting on some news, and I was jumpy and stressed the whole time we were there, which made it hard to enjoy. And it ended … Continue Reading →

Disney Food & Wine, Day 4

Our last day we headed to Animal Kingdom in the morning. Some nice views of the Tree of Life: Find the heron: Okapi – the nicest view we’ve had of one: A little snack! One more view of the Tree of Life: We also, of course, went on Everest twice. Great ride. Then it was over to Epcot to finish … Continue Reading →

Disney Food & Wine, Day 3

Day three at Disney found us at Magic Kingdom in the morning. Did I mention I really like Halloween? The hall of presidents had a new replica first lady gown. This is a circa 1810 silk velvet replica of a Dolley Madison gown. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a gown like this is silk velvet? Interesting! A friend of … Continue Reading →

Disney Food & Wine, Day 2

On to Day 2 of our trip. We got up, put on Halloween shirts, got a Starbucks breakfast, and headed out for a morning at Hollywood Studios. We had lunch/early dinner at Epcot, then hit Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party for the evening. I love the decor at Tower of Terror! I’m so glad the one in Florida isn’t … Continue Reading →
