1923 on the Disney Wish


Named for the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, 1923 celebrates the legendary animation studio that was founded in Southern California. 1923 is a vintage Disney fan's dream as its filled with over one thousand drawings and props from classic Disney animated films. The restaurant is split into two dining rooms, fittingly named Walt and Roy, after the two brothers behind the world's oldest-running animation studio. 

Since the Walt Disney Company was founded in California, the menu at 1923 is inspired by the best cuisine found throughout the Golden State. 1923 features a diverse menu showcasing the region's unique blend of Asian, European and South American influences. 

For our cruise on the Disney Wish, we were seated in the Walt Disney side of the restaurant. 
The meal started with bread service of fig and olive bread with honey butter dip. I love a good honey butter!

For appetizers, we ordered the Burrata Mozzarella Cheese & Prosciutto di Parma and the Hyperion Four-Cheese Tri-Color Tortelloni. Both of these appetizers were a great start to the meal. 
Burrata Mozzarella Cheese & Prosciutto di Parma
Crispy Cranberry and Sunflower Seed Phyllo, Charred Blood Orange
Hyperion Four-Cheese Tri-Color Tortelloni
Meyer Lemon, Artichoke, Sun-dried Tomato, Baby Spinach
Since this was a cruise and we could order as much food as we wanted, we opted to order a salad and soup in addition to our appetizers. (Hey, you gotta live it up on vacation, right?!) I ordered the Split Napa Baby Romaine Lettuce salad and my husband ordered the Roasted Roma Tomato Soup. The salad was enjoyable but nothing to write home about. I would order it again if I was feeling the need for something relatively healthy on my cruise.

Caesar Dressing, Heirloom Grape Tomatoes, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Ciabatta Garlic Croutons
My husband enjoyed his tomato soup but I did not. In total fairness, I'm not a fan of tomato soup unless I'm dunking a grilled cheese into it so I'm probably not the best one to judge this dish. This tomato soup tasted like a bowl of ketchup to me. And don't get me wrong, I love ketchup but I also don't want to eat it by the spoonful. If you enjoy tomato soup, this is probably a great dish but just wasn't my cup of tea.

For entrees, we ordered the Seared Verlasso Salmon Filet and the 1923 Peppered Filet Mignon. Both of these entrees were absolutely delicious! Out of all of the entrees we had on our cruise, these were my favorites. I would happily order both the salmon and the filet mignon again.

California Wild Honey Parsnip Puree, Orange Fennel Essence, Sautéed Black Garlic Rapini

Buttered Long Green Beans, Smoked Bacon, Crushed Fingerling Potato Hash,
Pink Pepper Café Au Lait
The Kids menu at 1923 is super cute with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit on the front and the kids plates feature Mickey in Steamboat Willie. My youngest was in quite a mood this evening and didn't want anything that was on the menu. Our servers were wonderful and were able to accommodate his request for Mac and Cheese. My oldest son went with the cheese pizza which was on the menu. The pizza wasn't the greatest but my son didn't seem to mind.

Desserts were another standout of this meal! We ordered the Churros Calientes, Atwater Fuji Apple Cheesecake and the Hollywood Hills Hot Chocolate Fudge Sundae. Everything was delicious but my favorite was the churros. It's hard to say no to a Disney churro! The desserts were a fantastic end to a truly wonderful meal.  
Churros Calientes
Sugar Spice Churros, Dulce de Leche
Atwater Fuji Apple Cheesecake
Sweet Dough Shell, Caramelized Apples, Cinnamon Cheesecake, Rolled Oat Crumble
Hollywood Hills Hot Chocolate Fudge Sundae
Vanilla Ice Cream, Fudge Brownie Bites, Fresh Whipped Cream, Glazed Cherry
Out of the three rotational dining restaurants on the Disney Wish, 1923 was my absolute favorite! The food was delicious and I love all of the vintage Disney memorabilia. You'll definitely want to take some time to walk around the restaurant to check out all of the animation cells and props.

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
