Food And Wine Thus Far

A photo drop of my Epcot Food and Wine Festival excursions thus far.

Double rainbows on the way into the parks!

Sporting my Magic Band with the Small World cover, an Argento Alchemy original silver and braided silk bracelet, a silk thread friendship bracelet (that I share with my Mom actually) from J Crew's past seasons, and my freshly loaded food and wine bracelet. You load it up with money so you can just hold it up and have it scanned. No fumbling with wallets which you would otherwise do a lot. It also helps keep you on budget, when the money you loaded is gone... You're done!

Love walking past the Dance Hall on the way into Epcot... memories...

Sister shot.

And because someone was nice enough to offer to take a photo of the three of us, Allen got in on the action too.

Different Epcot trip with other family members this time. :)

The view out the top floor windows of the American Pavillion in the Chase Banking members lounge. Just flash your bank card and your in! You'll enjoy a free quirky soda extravaganza, access to a place you never normally get to, A/C, nice restrooms, and free charging stations for your electronics.

Another view shot overlooking the concert stage with Spaceship Earth in the distance.

Spaceship Earth.

The Brazil stand plays lively music and is cheerful even on the rainiest of days.

The "banks" of the French Pavillion overlooking the lagoon and the Morrocan, Japanese, American, and Italian pavilloins (respectively when going counter-clockwise).

Playing with the viewers.

Aaah, Paris...

And a lovely lit night shot for good measure.

Kissers,

Disney Day: Dinner at Sana

The Husband and I have been trying to make time to "date" each other more and the other. Ought he surprised me with dinner at Sana, the Indian/ African restaurant on the Vacation Club Kidani Village side of Animal Kingdom's lodge.

Since it was date night I made and effort and trotted out the heels and a cute new clutch I love.

We were both pretty tired looking cause we were both pretty tired but it was still fun. I loved this wall of lanterns at the entrance.

The whole resort has these wonderful quotes painted on the walls throughout. I really loved this touch! This one is in the main entrance.

The lobby was beautiful.

And of course I went straight to the windows to look for animals on the "Savannah." Do you see the giraffe?

Pic heavy animal sightings and food goodness after the jump!

Disney Day

A couple weekends ago the Husband and I headed over to the parks for the day to meet some family and a friend.

Naturally this called for wearing my new fuzzy Minnie ears and Cakeworhy Coach tee.

I may or may not have picked up these fuzzy little beauties in the children's section of the store over at the Boardwalk hotel and resort. May meaning that I did.

Don't judge. I'm a Disney nerd and they're super fun.

They were a huge hit at the parks too.

We got into the Magic Kingdom in just enough time for the parade.

And on our way back to meet the fam I spotted these baby ducks and had to stop to say hello.

Sooo cute!

The sun was shining and the trees were in bloom. Just lovely.

Unfortunately our family was riding Pirates of the Caribbean by the time we got out from behind the parade so....

I decided this was the perfect time to set a terrible example for all the children exiting the ride while we waited. (Sorry parents. It was fun.)

Also, how cute is this pirate shirt?

Arrr...

Then we headed over to peek at the New Fantasyland and most of the walls surrounding the Seven Dwarfs Mine ride were down!

 

 

It looks super cool and I can't wait to ride it!

Also new is this King Triton.

 

And these cool sketches.

And this awesome Disney Vacation Club map.

Then we stopped in here to see if my sister in law was working. (No dice.)

Where I saw this cute new Ariel tee.

After that we decided to head over to Animal Kingdom so I'll leave you with this topiary tea party till tomorrow.

Kisses,

Disney Vacation Club

I got to peek inside the new Disney Vacation Club at the Grand Floridian the other week. Not inside the rooms but just the lobby.

It was a small lobby but very cute.

Mary Poppins penguins hanging out in the lobby fountain.

Ready to serve!

The large chandeliers are strung with green crystals.

The elevator floor indicator is Mary Poppins umbrella! Going up?

The sconces also reflect the green scheme.

Going down?

A close up of one of the few Holiday decorations I found there. I was surprised that there weren't very many at all...

Mickey in the carpets.

An outdoor fountain.

The walkway between the Grand and the villas was swagged in garlands.

Overall I'm still not sure about these new villas... I don't feel they integrate well with the rest of the property but they are pretty lovely besides that.

Kisses,

K
