Disney Day: A Very Disney Sunset Stroll

Not long ago the Husband and I decided to pop over to Disney's Coronado Springs for a quick bite and stroll.
The setting there is very romantic so it's one of our favorite spots to go.
As we left the house we saw this awesome sliver of a rainbow in the sky amidst all the sun rays. It was a lovely surprise.
Once there we grabbed some yummy empanadas to go and found a spot outside under the sunny sky.

We then saw the next scene in the sky's beautiful playof spectacular evening displays.

These whispy fluffy clouds were amazing. They spanned more than half the sky.

I really enjoyed all the blooming flora and fauna too. Birds of paradise are one of my favorite flowers.

Not sure what these yellow bloomed trees are but they were so lovely.

Then as the sun started to set we strolled around the the lake.

Every turn brought a gorgeous new vista.

The sun was really outdoing herself splashing the best colors from her palette across the sky...

So pretty.

Of course I had to sneak in a picture of the awesome resort pool we passed.

But it was the sky that really made the evening lovely.

One of the prettiest sunsets I've enjoyed in a while.

It really reminded me that I should take more time to stop and enjoy all the bounty surrounding me.

Disney's Coronado Springs Pepper Market

One of my favorite Disney restaurants to tuck away to for a bite to eat is the super relaxed Pepper Market at Coronado Springs Resort and Hotel.
The food is yummy, the atmosphere is so pretty, and it's a nicer take on quick service (meaning it's easy.)
Plus, the decor there is the perfect mix of fun and lovely.
Peppers. Being that it's the Pepper Market of course.
A very cool basket installation covering one wall.
These Moroccan style star lanterns are all over the resort and I love love love them!
The seating is relaxed but atmospheric.

These are the carnitas tacos served with fresh salsa and tortilla chips.

The cheese empanadas are the real star here in my book. Holy hot, fried, gooey goodness! Ask for extra green sauce, yum!

Although it's Mexican inspired there are only three Mexican dishes there right now. (Sad face, bring back all the Latin flavors!) However, the two if the three I've had are super yummy. The yet to be tried dish is a tortilla soup.

So, you get a ticket and go around to each stand you want to in the market. You place your order, they stamp your ticket, and cook it fresh. Then you find a seat and pay with your ticket after. See? A more upscale quick service.

I loved the look go the lit room reflecting in the glass with the palm trees outside.
Why hello there giant bird woman! What's a Disney restaurant without some extreme decor?
More cool lanterns.
Delicate iron work detail covering glass.

Lurve these stars!

No really, I lurve them!

The beautiful fountain in the hotel's lobby.

A beautiful intricately laid domed mosaic tile rotunda in the lobby.

And, since it's Disney... A burro in the hotel store.

I really recommend stopping by if you live in the area or if your vacationing nearby. The margaritas are pretty awesome too!
