Rating the Food at The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays

December 19, 2022

food at 2022 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays food
You guys, I have BIG Disney news! I just booked my BIGGEST Disney trip ever. More details on that later but to say I’m excited is an understatement. But speaking of Disney, since I recently got back from Disney World I thought today would be a good day to do a little recap of this years Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. You all know how much I love a good Epcot festival!

(Also side note, while you’re here be sure to check out my recap of the 2019 Epcot International Festival of Holidays. And while we’re on the topic of Epcot festivals, here’s some throwbacks to past Epcot International Flower and Garden Festivals, Epcot International Food and Wine Festivals and the Epcot International Festival of the Arts).

Here’s how I would rate the food at the Epcot International Festival of the Arts: Continue reading →

Bits and Pieces: Disneyland During Halloween

October 24, 2022

Disneyland During HalloweenHappy Monday! I can’t believe October is almost over. How are we about to be 11 months into 2022?! I wanted to post two more posts before the month is up. The first post being this one and the second one being the part two to my monthly pin post that I promised.

One of my absolute favorite times to visit Disneyland is during Halloween time. The weather is perfect (well, normally it is. There was a heat wave when I went but let’s not talk about that). The Haunted Mansion becomes Haunted Mansion Holiday. The decor is top notch. And the seasonal food is mouth watering. 

I just LOVE Disneyland during the fall!

Bits and Pieces: Disneyland during Springtime

June 1, 2022

Disneyland during SpringtimeHello and happy June! Wait…it’s June?! How are we already SIX MONTHS into 2022? I feel like 2020 was really slow (for obvious reasons) but 2021, and now 2022, went by at light-speed. Maybe it’s because I’m busier now and that’s why I feel like time is going by so fast? You know what they say, “time flys when you’re having fun.” 

Off topic but who else watched the new season of Stranger Things last Friday? It’s crazy to think season 3 came out in 2019/three years ago. I know covid prevented them from filming for a bit but that’s such a long time between seasons. Did you guys like the new season? Personally I love it and it might be my favorite season since season one.

Now onto to the actual post: Continue reading →

All-Star Movies Resort Tour + Room Tour | Walt Disney World

Disney World All-Star Movies Resort Tour
Two posts this month? Go me! Y’all, I started writing this post in August 2021. AUGUST. I have been meaning to finish and post this for the longest time but life has just been so busy. But on to the post…

It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE Disney fan/lover. The Disney Parks will forever be a second home to me. Before the pandemic I was a Disney World annual passholder (despite living in Chicago) who visited the parks about every 2 months or so. In fact, at one point I was a passholder at Disney World, Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. Ah the good ole days…

Although I visited the Disney Parks like 6 or 7 times a year for years, I never stayed at a Disney hotel. (Well technically I stayed at a Disney partner hotel in Disneyland Paris and I stayed at the Contemporary Resort for one night as a kid but you know what I mean). 

During my July 2021 Disney trip, I got to stay at my “first” Disney hotel: All-Star Movies Resort! Continue reading →

Bits and Pieces: Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

April 25, 2022

Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival
Happy Monday everyone! I got back from my birthday Disneyland trip last Monday (technically Tuesday morning) so it’s the perfect time to start sharing little bits and pieces from the trip. It’s weird because normally I write my blog posts on my laptop but today I’m typing it up on my iMac so it’s a little different. I don’t use my iMac much so I’m trying to give it a little more attention. 

Any who, you all know that I love a good Epcot festival. The Festival of the Arts, the Flower and Garden Festival, the Festival of the Holidays and, of course, the Food and Wine Festival. But oddly enough, I’ve never gotten to experience a festival at DCA. So I was super excited when I learned that my birthday trip was going to fall during the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

Here’s a little mini recap of the 2022 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival:
