Spending the morning discussing all things Italian! Mimosa made with Prosecco of course!
Super cute updated rooms over at Contemporary resort and the best part is that you are a short walk to Magic Kingdom or a monorail ride over to Epcot!

Finally was able to do Tron at Magic Kingdom this trip! It is a cool experience but we both agreed we just wished it lasted a little longer!
Tower of terror times 3 on the same day…things we do for our kids! 🤣

Day One
I’m going to try and write an update each night while the day is fresh in my mind. Today marks day one. I actually landed in Cape Town yesterday, Saturday 10/15 around 5:00pm local time, after leaving Austin at 1:00pm on 10/14. I had a direct flight from Newark to Cape Town on the evening of 10/14. I met an a wonderful tech worker at the airport and on my flight I sat next next to an US Embassy consulate worker for South Africa. Joyce is an amazing woman who has lived and traveled to over 90 countries in the past three decades! As the world traveler she is, she chatted with me through our in flight dinner (not my fave) and then abruptly, put on her night mask, inflated her neck pillow, said goodnight, and peacefully slept for 12 hours!
I fitfully slept off and on, watched a Korean subtitled movie that was amazing and Bridget Jone’s Diary which I’d assumed would take zero brain power and help me shut my mind off, and listened to an audiobook. Y’all it is worth it but it is a LONG flight!
We landed at 5:00pm local time. My body and mind feeling like it was 10:00am but with very little sleep. We met our guide outside customs, and we’re whisked off to our hotel. The Table Bay Hotel is AH-MAH-ZING. It is in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront district of Cape Town which is gorgeous! It is like the most beautiful San Francisco waterfront space you can imagine (and safe!) We spent some time getting refreshed, I made friends with fellow AbD adventurers, and we went to dinner and a bar that was voted #52 in the WORLD (it is called Cause and Effect). A well earned title because their craft cocktails were SO good!
This morning (Sunday) some other adventurers and I decided to head to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held as a prisoner for 18 years starting in 1964. This is not included in the AbD tour and was something I really wanted to see. It was heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time. Every guide on Robben island was actually a prisoner
Front row last night at Fantasmic! At Disneyland park. #disneyland #travelagentmom
I’m 100% sure these are the best accommodations/view in all of Disney World.
Bucketlist ✅

Best part of a very warm summer day at the parks!
We had six of these water floats come by while we had drinks and a snack. Nomad lounge is a hidden gem at Animal Kingdom.
Aprospritz at Space220! Cotton Candy, aperol and Prosecco in space.
So I love a good balcony and ours at Grand Floridian Club Level is one of the best I’ve had. Wait until you see where we are staying tomorrow though. Any guesses???
