“It’s Mystic Falls, nothing bad ever happens here”

We had an epic time in my favorite place yesterday. TVD has such a special place in my heart and I love being able to visit mystic falls and be a vampire for a day. Anyone else a huge TVD fan?

Staying Club Level at Disney’s Yacht Club was a DREAM🥹 This resort has been on my bucket list for so long and I am so ecstatic that I get to check it off. I haven’t had the opportunity to stay at a deluxe resort as an adult until now, and now I don’t know how I will ever go back. I’m already trying to plan a trip to stay at Beach Club because I loved it here so much. Here’s the things I loved most about my stay:

⚓️ Stormalong Bay

🍦Beaches & Cream

🌐 Location (short walk to Epcot)

🎠 Boardwalk area

🚡 Access to the sky liner

I will be sharing more about my Club Level stay because that was absolutely magical. If I could stay Club Level every time, I would!

Typhoon Lagoon was BANANAS🍌

I am not a water park girlie so this was the first time since my childhood that I’ve been to a Disney Water Park but let me tell y’all….. it was a blast! I can’t wait to share more about it with you. I will def be bringing Avery sometime because she would absolutely lose her mind.

Have you ever been to a Disney Water Park?

I am Groot🌱

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is hands down the best ride at any Disney Park. Don’t believe me? Swipe to see my Disney hating husband having the time of his life and cheesing the hardest he’s ever cheesed in his life (yes, he got Everybody Wants to Rule the World)😂

Jon talks about this ride all the time and how he can’t wait to ride it again. Safe to say, this ride can convert anyone into a Disney adult.

Here’s everything I tried at Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival this year!

• Peach Cobbler Freeze with Streusel (non alcoholic) - located at the Honey Bee-stro

• Chicken & Waffles - located at the Honey Bee-stro

• Beignet Caramélisé - located at Fleur de Lys

• Cheesy Crab Wontons - located at Lotus House

• Florida Strawberry Shortcake - located at Florida Fresh

• Grilled Street Corn on the Cob - located at Florida Fresh

• Honey Marscapone Cheesecake - located at the Honey Bee-stro

• Violet Lemonade - located at Pineapple Promenade

As you can see, the Honey Bee-stro was a hit! Everything we tried from that booth was incredible! We didn’t get to try as much as we had planned because it started pouring down rain but all in all it was a phenomenal time. I can’t wait to return to EPCOT for the International Food & Wine Festival.

Avery finally got to meet Ariel (or as she likes to call her, Under the Sea)! This was such a cute meet & greet in Ariel’s grotto and Ariel taught Avery how to use her tail so they could swim together🧜‍♀️

Wondering where you can meet Ariel? Just head on over to Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid and Ariel’s Grotto is right next to it🐚

💛💙❤️ ROUNDUP RODEO BBQ REVIEW 💛💙❤️

We had the opportunity to try Disney’s newest restaurant and I have a lot to say about it. First, the theming is fantastic! My Toy Story loving daughter loved it! It’s very fun with “character interactions” (you won’t meet any characters here but they do some cute little voiceovers). They have some fun drinks for kiddos. We tried the Partysaurus Tex and the Frozen Cowpoke Cocoa and both were tasty. Now for the food.. This meal is all you care to enjoy and will set you back $45 per adult, and $25 per child ages 3-9. The star of the show here is the bread service which is homemade cheddar biscuits with sweet pepper jelly. They also bring you 3 salads: Rootin Tootin Tomato Salad, Rex’s Romaine and Kale Salad, and Wheezy’s Watermelon Salad. We mainly just ate the watermelon salad. Then they bring you a huge platter of meats which includes ribs, brisket, sausage, and BBQ chicken. You also get to choose 4 sides for the table. We chose The Married Spuds (which are supposed to be loaded tots but just came with a drizzle of some sauce on them 😐), Force Field Fried Pickles (these were good but just needed a sauce to dip them in), Slinky Doooooooooog’s Mac and Cheese (this was by far the biggest disappointment, bland mac and cheese with some crushed goldfish on top🫣), and the Buckin Baked Beans (these just flat out were not good and tasted like beans in ketchup). After all of that, you get to pick one dessert per person, and kiddos get a Forky Cupcake. We ordered all of the jar desserts. My favorites were the Chocolate Silk Pie and the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake. All in all, RoundUp Rodeo BBQ is a decent new addition to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I think this is a great table service option for families who have littles that love Toy Story! Are you going to try this restaurant on your trip?

We had the most magical time at EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival🌷🌼🪴 Since we were guests of a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, we had the perk of early entry. During this 30 minutes we just strolled around leisurely taking in all of the beauty and checking out the extraordinary topiaries. We stopped to smell the flowers (literally) at Blossoms of Fragrance. My favorite was the citrus🍊Then we made our way to Joffrey’s to get some coffee and a donut because when in Disney.. After that we went over to Connections to check out all of the merch while we waited for the festival booths to open. I can’t wait to share more about our trip with you. If you are interested in going to EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival this year, it’s not too late! This festival runs until July 5th, and I would love to help you get there. Message me so we can start planning😊
