BREAKING NEWS!!!! 2018 Festival of the Arts Booth Menus!!!!


Heeeeeey, Disney Foodies!!!


     I know I just brought you the announcement of the Festival of the Holidays Booth Menus a few days ago, but GUESS WHAT??????  I'm back with the 2018 Festival of the Arts Booth Menus!!!! Yup, with back to back festivals at Epcot, we have back to back menu announcements too, so let's get to it!

     The sophomore year of the Festival of the Arts will run from January 12th - February 19th, 2018, but unlike last year's Festival, which only ran on the weekends, this year's event will run daily, due to it's incredible popularity in it's kick off year. For those of you who did not get to experience it in 2017, this Festival celebrates the arts, including performing arts, (Broadway performances), visual arts, (art displays and demonstrations), and culinary arts, (food booths a la Food and Wine Festival). Of course, because this is an ART festival, all of the dishes are served with visual presentation at the forefront of the chef's mind. Everything was gorgeous AND delicious last year and I'm sure this year will be even better! Let's see which favorites are returning, and which new dishes we can look forward to! (In the menus below, the items that I have highlighted in color are new for 2018!)

Photo Tour and Deck Plan: Disney Fantasy

The Disney Fantasy took its maiden voyage in 2012 and until 2022, was the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. It's the sister ship to the Disney Dream so you'll see many similarities between the two ships. The Disney Fantasy is an absolutely gorgeous ship, boasting an Art Nouveau style. The ship has 14 decks, 1,250 staterooms, is 1,115 feet in length and weighs 130,000 gross tons. We'll tour the ship starting from Deck 1 up to Deck 14, going from Aft to Forward. Let's start our photo tour! Deck 1 Deck 1 is where you'll find the Health Center. It's also where you can exit the ship to board a tender at Ports of Call that require ships to anchor offshore.  Deck 2 Deck 2 is where you'll find one of the three main dining rooms, Enchanted Garden.  The restaurant transforms throughout dinner, changing from day to night I love these booths! You can also find staterooms, a Midship Detective Agency kiosk and the Vista Gallery showcasing Disney artwork.  Deck

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, agents Maci, Ashley, Aubrey and Yaritza and I rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. Agent Ashley received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view!

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th
