Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
There are many reasons to love October. It’s arguably the best month of the year. The weather turns cooler (an extraordinary blessing here in Florida), the pumpkin spice comes out, and who doesn’t love Halloween! Here in Orlando October also means The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival! It truly is the most wonderful time…
Contrary to popular belief, Disney World is not just a place for kids, this is especially evident at Epcot any time after say 4pm. Drinking around the world has long been a right of passage amongst the childless adults and irresponsible parents. I fall into the former category, and living in Orlando for the past…
Ok, so everyone knows about drinking around the world at Epcot, (of course I have plenty to say about that too) but it seems few people have caught on to the Loop. The Loop is another way to drink at Disney, it’s a collection of hotels you can stop at on the monorail at Walt…
Everyone knows a Disney World Vacation is going to set you back financially, but it’s the most magical place on earth. Who can put a price tag on that? Well Disney can, and it’s a lot. Here are a few magical things you can do at Disney World for free (or almost free). It’s great…
Yet again this year over Memorial Day weekend Disney World’s Magic Kingdom as well as DIsneyland Resort hosted the “Rock Your Disney Side” 24 hour event and really tried to make #disneyside happen. Of course, they made it happen, it just didn’t make a lot of sense to me, but if they can make Frozen…
Wanderlust sets in pretty quickly after I return home from a trip. Unfortunately, Africa cleaned me out financially for a bit, not to mention the fact that it’s recital season and my directors would be none too happy about me leaving until after the mid-June show. Knowing I’m stuck here, even if it is just…
I was lucky enough this past Saturday to have happened upon the soft opening (grossest possible term for “test run”) for the highly anticipated Spice Road Table, a Mediterranean Small Plate Restaurant in Morocco at Epcot. We started off with Pomegranate Mimosa, made with champagne, orange and pomegranate liquors. The lakeside patio dining was delightful…
It’s that time of year again! Everyone loves the holidays, and if you live near Disney World the holidays last from the day after Halloween through the first week or so of the new year! This is the 6th holiday season I’ve spent in Disney World, but this year is different. This year in Epcot’s…
I have been attending the Food and Wine Festival for years now, but have never done any of their special events. This year I changed that and attended the Mexican Tequila Lunch at La Hacienda de San Angel. This is an informative and tasty lunch that takes place at noon every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday…
Now that I’ve eaten and drank my way through every stop at the Food and Wine Festival, I’ve compiled a list of my favorites. Mind you, I’ve enjoyed something from each booth, but have not tried everything. So, if one of your favorites is missing from the list below let me know! DRINKS! Best Red…
