Once upon a Dream is another one of Liz Braswell’s darker fairy tale/Disney retellings, this time tackling Sleeping Beauty. I’ve previously read the Aladdin one (A Whole New World) and Beauty and the Beast (As Old as Time). I’m not as fond of the movie Sleeping Beauty as those two, but that just means I […]
Mary Poppins Returns review
Okay, I might be a little late in the game, but I finally got around to seeing Mary Poppins Returns this past weekend! I don’t know about you, but it is so difficult for me to find time to go to the movies when the holidays are happening. We have 3 different families […]
Dinner at The Edison
The Edison had been at the top of my list of restaurants I wanted to try in Disney ever since it was announced. It sounded like it had a really cool theme and atmosphere, the food looked good, and the cocktails looked awesome. My friends expressed a similar interest, so when it came to planning […]
Ralph Breaks the Internet review
When Wreck-It Ralph came out, the movie made a big impression on me and my husband. It was clever, had tons of fun shout outs to classic arcade games (which he loved), funny, and a great twist ending with the villain. So when they announced they were making a sequel called Ralph Breaks the Internet […]
Grand Floridian Cafe dinner
On my last trip to Disney I was a bit tired of the dinner options in Magic Kingdom, so we opted to head out of the park and try one of the resorts nearby. I had been to Grand Floridian Cafe once before and really enjoyed the pasta dish I had there. They have another […]
Port Orleans French Quarter review
I’ve stayed at Port Orleans Riverside several times, and while it’s been a favorite, I had never stayed across the way at Port Orleans French Quarter! So when it came time to book a resort for my August “untogether” trip (this is my solo trip where a friend joined me as long as I […]
Christopher Robin review
When I was a little kid, Winnie the Pooh was one of my favorite movies ever. My mom rented the VHS from the video store so many times they finally told her she could just keep it. I played a very old computer game where the sounds of the Blustery Day scared me so […]
Rapunzel’s Royal Table on the Disney Magic
The main restaurant I was most excited about on the Disney Magic was Rapunzel’s Royal Table! A new restaurant, it was just redone with a Tangled theme (and because Rapunzel is so excited about her birthday, it’s a birthday celebration too!). On our cruise we got the chance to dine here after our day on […]
Cinderella’s Royal Table review
There’s definitely something special about “eating in the castle.” It’s fancy looking, there are princesses at the meal, and they supposedly treat you like royalty. It’s a signature meal, so we chose it as our celebration meal after the Princess half marathon. We had a lunch reservation at 1pm that day. When you check in […]
Ant-Man and the Wasp review
Within the past couple of years I have become a Marvel fan. I’ve seen pretty much every Marvel movie that has come out in the last three years and went back and watched many of the ones that I’ve missed. And while they are all entertaining, I have a special place in my heart […]
