It's All in the Disney Details - Towel Animals


We’ve previously taken a look at seemingly ordinary objects such as trash cans and carpets, and today we continue that journey into the ordinary by taking a look at towels: the animal variety, that is.  Towel animals are another example of how Disney takes something simple like a towel and gives it that extra Disney touch to make them something magical.

Classic Mickey silhouette
Upon arrival to your room at a Walt Disney World resort, you can expect to see the classic Mickey silhouette in towels on the bed.  It’s such a simple shape and yet it brings so much joy.  I love seeing that silhouette because it means that my Disney vacation has really begun!  I often leave the towels on the bed as long as possible because it just feels wrong to destroy Mickey, even if it is only made of towels!

Creative towel animals can also be functional!
Disney housekeeping - better known as Mousekeeping - keep the creations coming throughout your stay.  After a long day in the parks, it’s an exciting surprise to find the little towel animals in various places around your room.  There are some very creative Mousekeepers who go that extra mile to add a little more magic to your vacation.

If you enjoy the towel animals at the Walt Disney World resorts, you should see the towel animals onboard a Disney Cruise Line ship!  The DCL staff take towel animals to a whole new level.  They are truly spectacular!  From turtles, to elephants and monkeys, the DCL staff make some pretty intricate creatures!  Just see for yourself:
Towel animal class on the Disney Fantasy
On a recent cruise on the Disney Fantasy, my husband and I took an “Art of Towel Making” course.  We were given a few towels of varying sizes and a step-by-step paper on towel folding to accompany our lesson, led by a stateroom Host.  I gotta tell you, making those towel animals is not an easy task!  Even with detailed instructions and following step-by-step instructions, it takes a lot of practice to perfect those cute little towel animals.

The Disney cast members take something as simple as a towel and turn it into something magical.  I know that those towel animals bring a smile to my face and each day I look forward to seeing what new creation is waiting for me.  It’s that extra Disney difference that makes every Disney vacation so special.

Remember, it’s all in the Disney details!

House of Blues Brunch

Brunch is probably my favorite meal to go out for, and Disney Springs has some hidden gems in the brunch department. House of Blues offers weekend brunch with one of the best deals on property, bottomless mimosas!  If you’re up for it, House of Blues offers a laid back atmosphere with live music for brunch. It is available Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm, with the full menu available after 12pm. We were sat in the back room where we couldn’t see the stage but could hear it and it was a great vibe!  Bottomless mimosas and coffee were the popular choice for beverages, but they also offer a variety of brunch cocktails and other options. Bottomless mimosa! We were a party of 8 and hungry, so we started with an order of nachos from the lunch menu and they were a HUGE portion, so glad we had a lot of people to share them with.  BBQ Nachos - Four cheese sauce, avocado, roasted corn salsa, pickled red onion, tomato, Memphis BBQ sauce, cilantro crema, cotija cheese. Chicken, Brisket or Pul

Giovanni's Table on Liberty of the Seas

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line has wonderful specialty dining options on all of their ships.  They all have some variety of an Italian restaurant and I've tried Jamie's Italian on the Symphony of the Seas and now Giovanni's Table on Liberty of the Seas. The restaurant is located by the Windjammer Buffet, tucked off to one side as you enter the area.  Once inside, the atmosphere is dark and cozy, very different from the buffet hectic world outside the doors.  There is an open kitchen along the one wall and windows along the other.  The restaurant is a set upcharge, and then you can order whatever you want from the food menu that is to your liking throughout the meal.  Giovanni's is actually undergoing some changes on a lot of RCCL ships, but Liberty hadn't had those changes yet so it was still the "old" one, which was fine by us. We had an amazing meal here, and wouldn't hesitate to come back again on a future cruise.  You might see Giovanni's Kitchen

5 Ways To Get Psyched For Your Disney Trip!

Hey-Howdy-Hey, Disney Guys and Gals!      Is anyone familiar with Barney Stinson's "Get Psyched" Mix? Anyone? How I Met your Mother Fans? Ok, great! So you totally get where I'm going with this! If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can watch a clip  HERE!  Basically, the theory is that no matter what's going on in your life, you can get yourself psyched up and ready for something awesome to happen, all by listening to the right piece of music. Playing off of that theory, I feel that one of the very best things about a Disney trip is actually  preparing  for it, or getting psyched! You can have a whole bunch of crappy stuff happening in your life at the time, but if you have a Disney trip on the horizon... even if it's 564 days away, you have something to look forward to and enjoy preparing yourself for. In fact, many Disney fans, (myself included), pretty much get from one day to the next by preparing for upcoming trips. You may even book a ne
