Disney Junior Play and Dine Breakfast at Hollywood & Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

2013-12-13T07:00:00-05:00December 13, 2013|Disney Dining plan, Disney World, Hollywood Studios|

One of the highlights of our most recent trip was the Disney Junior Play and Dine breakfast. We had 8 am reservations which was prior to park opening, something I highly recommend! (If you eat quickly, you can make it to Toy Story Midway Mania before the park officially opens). We arrived at the park so early that they hadn’t even hung the “character dining entrance” sign yet. When they finally let us through the gate, we headed to the restaurant to check in. They had water jugs on the porch for you while you wait which was very nice [...]

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party On select nights in November and December, the Magic Kingdom hosts a special ticketed event, a party to be exact.  Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a very special event with activities the whole family can enjoy. Upon entering the park, you will be given a special wristband showing that you are indeed there for the party. Be sure to pick up a guide map as well. It will tell you all of the locations and times for special events throughout the park. Look for these giant candy canes if you are ready for some [...]

Disney "Princess" Style Everyone knows that Disney has Princesses and that they can be met at several locations at the Walt Disney World Resort. But not everyone knows that there are many experiences that allow you to have a “princess moment” that truly makes you feel that fairytales are real.  The following princess themed activities can make any girl feel special, from the littlest to the most mature of princesses. From the moment you see the castle to the second you see Tinker Bell fly through the sky, your world turns into magic when visiting the Walt Disney World Resort.  [...]

Dressing up at Disney – Not just for Halloween!

2023-10-30T16:48:42-04:00November 18, 2013|Celebrations, characters, Disney Travel, Disney World, Holidays|

If I could come back in another life as Cinderella, Ariel or Belle, I would. My husband will back me up on this. When visiting Walt Disney World, I am the first to “ooh” and “aah” over the adorable mini Princesses that can be seen all over the parks. The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique does an amazing job of transforming these little girls into true Princesses. The comments and compliments from the cast members as well as other guests truly give them a sense of pride. It melts my heart. I am always looking for ways to replicate this feeling for [...]

Where do all those coins go?

2013-11-15T07:00:00-05:00November 15, 2013|Disney World, Disneyland|

Ever since I was a child, I have been intrigued with all the coins sitting on the base of the water of the It's a Small World attraction in Magic Kingdom. I had always seen the money and wondered how much money is in that water? As I got older I found myself wondering where does the money go? Surely, they have to clean it out every now and then. What happens to it? After a recent visit, I decided to do some research and I learned that money is collected in two different ways. It's a lot of work [...]

  If you have a Princess fan in your family, don’t miss the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot. We were so excited to start our first full day at Disney World with this breakfast. Our reservations were at 8:30 am. Epcot opens at 9 am (and World Showcase doesn’t open until 11 am). If your breakfast reservation is before the park opens, there is a dedicated turnstile for you to enter through. We headed through an empty Future Showcase to World Showcase. There was a good crowd already gathered outside the [...]

Top Five Disney Resort Restaurants

2013-10-30T07:00:00-04:00October 30, 2013|Dining, Disney World|

  Top Five Disney Resort Restaurants One thing that I find is overlooked in Disney is some of the amazing dining located right at your Disney resort! There came a point where I had dined at most restaurants in the Disney parks and a handful in Downtown Disney and wanted something more. We stumbled upon a couple by mistake, and searched out others the more we explored new resorts. Here is sneak peek at five of my favorites! I have many more, and I am sure I will be adding the newly re-mastered California Grill when I visit in November, [...]

Sofia the First Makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

2013-10-09T07:00:00-04:00October 9, 2013|Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Disney World, Uncategorized|

In July, Disney debuted a new makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Downtown Disney based on Disney’s newest little Princess – Sofia the First. The Sofia package includes "Sofia the First" hairstyling, shimmering makeup, nail polish, face gem, Princess sash, Princess cinch bag, a crown and hair bow. Currently, the Sofia package is available only at the Downtown Disney location. When we first checked in, my girls were given a royal notification of their appointment (it was as surprise!) and then we had some time to wait and wander around the store. There were many other little girls there, [...]
