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.

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, the agents 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. We 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! We arrived to a welcome basket of various fr...

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...

Makahiki Character Breakfast at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

We had the pleasure of dining at Aulani's Makahiki breakfast and it was a delightful, delicious experience! Makahiki is a restaurant at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawai'i. The Aulani Resort is recognizably Disney as soon as you pull into the property. Its well-manicured gardens, water features, and stunning lobby look like a Deluxe Resort at Walt Disney World.  As off-site guests to Aulani, (we stayed in Waikiki, but that's another blog) I have some helpful tips for visiting the resort, whether it be for the restaurants, the beach, or both! Makahiki – The Bounty of the Islands is open daily and reservations can be made 30 days in advance. I made my reservation on the Aulani website. There were a few times to choose from. I chose the earliest available that day, which was 8:30 a.m., because we had jetlag from the trip. A friendly Cast Member called me a few days before the reservation to confirm it with me. You can, however, find earlier times on other d...
