Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort

I just got back from a quick trip to Universal Orlando and had the opportunity to stay at Universal's Cabana Bay Resort. I absolutely loved this resort! The retro style was so cute. The quick service dining area looks like a drive-in, there's a bowling alley, a lazy river, great quick service restaurant, and a Starbucks! This is such a great resort for families. Lots to do at the resort, free and quick transportation to the parks, and early park admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Cinderella Castle New Paint Job

 

I have been anxiously awaiting the moment I got to walk up and see the new paint job for myself, and boy...it was an emotional experience (like always.) This castle has always evoked such a happy, nostalgic feeling for me. And seeing something new, but so familiar was really nice. I ended up spending way too much time taking pictures from different angles, just admiring every part! 

My Travel Essentials

 

Over the years I have bought many travel essentials...and some not so essentials. This means I've spent money on things I can't live without and I've also done things like spent $20 on an "airplane blanket" in the airport. Incase you are unfamiliar, it's like a giant cheese cloth that acts nothing like a blanket at all. I want to share with you some of my favorite travel essentials, including an updated list of what's in my theme park bag!

Favorite Eats at Disney World Part 4

 

Mickey Waffles are a must for breakfast at Disney, BUT if you're staying at the Polynesian Tonga Toast is what you need. Delicious, fluffy, sugary, and stuffed with bananas! This is the one from Capt Cook's, but it's also available if you have a breakfast reservation at Kona Cafe and that one comes with a super yummy strawberry compote! 

2020 Epcot Food & Wine Festival

 

Every year we have a habit of going straight for all of our favorite items at the festival, but this year we decided to hit some different options too (and those old favorites!) And how cute is this setup?

Favorite Eats at Disney World Part 3

 

Is it a favorite eats post if it doesn't include Mickey Waffles? But seriously, the Mickey Waffles from Primo Piatto at Disney's Riviera Resort are extra yummy! The iced coffees from La Petit Cafe were also very good and a step up from your usual coffee selection at the resorts.

1 Bedroom Villa at Disney's Riviera Resort

I honestly can't rave enough about Disney's Riviera Resort. The resort itself is beautiful, easy access to the Skyliner, all the dining options are delicious, and the villas are stunning and so comfortable.
