OH MY GOSH!!!! I got to dine at the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen at Universal CityWalk and I am so excited to talk about this restaurant! Once you sit down take a few minutes to enjoy the story about the creation of the restaurant it adds wonder and excitement to your dining experience. Professor Doctor Penelope Tibeaux-Tinker Toothsome and Jacques are wonderfully interactive. They walk around the restaurant and greet the guests and love to take pictures together. The atmosphere is steam punk inspired, with many items from Doctor Penelope’s home and maps from her family located all around. It's definitely worth exploring! There is a gift shop that offers candy, chocolate, and macaroons. There are also some unique non-food items that you can purchase to bring home. You can also have some items shipped home but any food items must be pre-packaged in order to be shipped. Remember, the name of the restaurant is "Chocolate Emporium" ...

Happy 2018, Disney Fans!!      The year decided to welcome itself with freezing temperatures all over the United States, INCLUDING here in Orlando, where it is currently in the high 30's! Brrrrrr!!! Hey, Elsa... the cold may not bother YOU, but it bothers US! Go back to Arendelle!       Well, it's a new year, so let's talk about staying healthy at Disney. Seriously. Ok, ok... I know I blog a lot about high calorie, sugary, salty or deep fried concoctions that you can snack on in the parks. Disney is, after all, a magical world. A world full of fun, adventure, entertainment, and yes, FOOD. And even though the Cast Members make jokes about it, the calories DO, in fact, count on vacation. The good news is, Guests walk a LOT at Disney, and that should help combat some of those indulgent desserts and savory sauces. But if you're more of the healthy eating type, OR if you have some New Year's resolutions that you're trying to stick to, a trip to Disn...

Happy End of 2017, Disney Fans!      Well, I hope all of my Disney friends had a happy and magical holiday! Did anyone get surprised with a Disney trip reveal???      Today's post is a repeat from almost this same week last year, but since so many of you found it useful, I thought it was worth repeating.... and adding to! I want to tell all of you about the five items that I  always  have in my bag when I go into the park. It doesn't matter if I'm taking just my five year old to the park with me, my 9 year old and I are having a girl's day, or even if I'm going to the parks alone... (wait, that NEVER happens!)... I  always  have these five things with me. (And I bet you'll start taking at least one of them with you every time after reading this!) What are these amazing items? Read on! Baby/Antibacterial Wipes Well, since I have a little guy, these are usually with me anyway, but even when K gets bigger, I will always brin...
