To celebrate the Disney Dining Plan with the release of the promotion I went through my pictures from our trip this year when we used the Disney Quick Service Dining plan.

Some favourites for us;
Ronto Roasters for their wraps and the rising moons overnight oats, and you better believe that ice filled drink is the Surly Sarlac because you do get an alcohlic drink with your quick service meals! No matter what time of the day it is! SO that is vacation 😃
Via Napoli for the take away pizza, and yes a peach bellini, I can tell you this lunch in Italy (after a huge rain storm) was one of my favourite moments with the kids in EPCOT. Those are the moments that I savour - silly as we were all frizzy hair and wet feet, but sitting together in ITALY, eating the most delicous pizza and seeing little Remy's all over. THAT is Disney.

OK, going over my food choices with this level of detail is going to put anyone to sleep. We also loved a lunch at Caribbean Beach Resort, again we got pina coladas - adults and kids versions. Sci-Fi diner was great, the tater tots bowl for breakfast at All Star Sports also very good. And we took the Skyliner to the Riviera and enjoyed dessert at Le Petit Cafe. Another do not miss for me in Magic Kingdom is the lobster roll at Columbia Harbour House. They also have a Boston Cream Pie dessert. Yum!!
Oh my I didn't even mention Satu'li Canteen yet. The Grog Ale is soo good. The bowls, the cheeseburger pods, the desserts - and now they have breakfast which I almost want to buy a park ticket for LOL.

I love the Dining plan because for me, I see the prices for things and then have to decide "if it is worth it" which is not something I want to do on vacation. Having the dining plan done and paid for means I indulge and truly have a vacation trying things that I would not usually order for myself. For me it is a real treat to myself on my vacation.

If you would like anymore information about dining in Walt Disney World please contact me. I obviously would love to talk about it 😉

Merry Christmas!!!
🎄 If I had a Christmas wish it would be to take all of my loved ones to Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa! How amazing it would be to enjoy the gorgeous ocean views, interact with the characters, and enjoy their holiday decorations over the Christmas break with your whole family.
Chip and Dale say absolutely! 🌈🎅🌊

If you have questions about this resort contact me! We had a fantastic time exploring this resort last year.

Hello November! I am really looking forward to participating in some festive events this month!

First up I will be at the 3rd Annual Holiday Shopping event Nov. 14 from 5-8 pm. This event will have food, prizes and of course feature lots of wonderful local businesses (as well as their gorgeous selections in store) for all of your gifting needs!

Next I am so glad to participate in my kids school fair - the Christmas Market is Nov. 16 from 10-2. This one will have all of your baked goods, hand crafted gifts, and good cheer as well as activities for the whole family.

And the last one is a little gift to me and my clients who are interested in Virgin Voyages. Me and other travel advisors from North America will be boarding the Resilient Lady in Miami the weekend of Nov. 20 for some on the ship training! I am so excited for this, Virgin Voyages is so unique and they have completely done things differently then other cruise lines. I will also be taking the Brightline train from Miami to Fort Lauderdale for the first time so will be sharing all of the reviews (this works well if you find a lower priced flight into Fort Lauderdale, which was the case for me this time).

Whew! Wait until you see where I will be in December (a very exciting for a great cause event Dec. 7 and 8 at our new Holiday Inn!) and then a little Wish comes true in January...😉stay tuned! Hope to see you at these great local events, we have so many to choose from in St. Thomas and area.
