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,

It's A Small World's 50th Anniversary!

Disney's It's A Small World had its 50th Anniversary last Thursday and I was lucky enough to head over to the Magic Kingdom to take it for a float with my family. My Husband, Mom, and Dad all joined me for the trip down memory lane the park and it was so much much.

Hope you enjoy it too!

 

And now that you have the song stuck in your head I bid you adieu! ;)

Kisses,

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.

Kisses,

K

Disney Day: Part 2

After departing the Magic Kingdom we hopped on the monorail and headed over to the Polynesian Hotel for a snack.

My little brother is looking oh so fab on the left and that's my husband on the right.

My sister in law Jen on the right and our friend Erin on the left.

At the Poly I got a Dolewhip.

For those of you out of the know a Dolewhip is one of the yummiest desserts at Disney! It's Dole pineapple flavored ice cream that can be swirled with an amazing vanilla if you so choose, and I always do.

Yummm!

Then we drove over to Animal Kingdom and rode Dinosaur where this fine fellow above greeted us.

And we looked fantastic riding it too I might add... (Don't know the people in the front row though.)

Then we got silly with the welcome sign.

Yes, can I help you?

I loved this geology pun on our way over to ride Everest.

Prayer flags and Everest.

The queue for the ride is pretty cool. You wind in and out of buildings full of climbing essentials and Yeti "history."

The prayer flags hanging throughout are really colorful and pretty.

And the ride is super fun! It was way faster than I remembered it being. (The last time I was in Animal Kingdom was over 8 years ago I think...) Also, the infamously broken million dollar Yeti (a animatronic yeti that has been non functional and broken for quite some time) surprised us as it was fully functional again and we were truly not expecting it. Lol.

A good time was had by all till the I'm too old for this kind of stuff headaches set in. So we called it a night shortly after.

We passed hundreds upon hundreds of Ibis on our way out sleeping in the trees. Unfortunately I couldn't get any photo to do it justice but all the lighter spots at the top are birds and as the pic turns to black it's because it was dark outside and the birds were so densely packed in the trees there.

It was a fun day!
