D23 Member Mixer at House of Blues Orlando June 3rd 2013

Thanks to our dear friend Tony, last night my husband and I were lucky enough to participate as some D23 Members gathered for food and Drinks at House of Blues Orlando. It was a terrific opportunity to socialize with friends and members of the official Disney fan club. A reserved seating area was held for members and up to 3 guests, so we were all separated from the rest of the diners in the restaurant. Dinner and drinks were not covered by D23 or House of Blues, but we didn’t mind that at all, and were just thankful for the opportunity to be there. Upon checking in, we were all presented with wonderful swag bags that included one 15-percent-off coupon good on all merchandise in the House of Blues store, tickets to 2 tribute bands who would be performing at a later date, and a few other small gifts provided by by D23.

House of Blues Orlando, is known for their Shrimp & Grits, Pulled Pork Sliders, Jambalaya, and Hand Stretched Flatbreads.

A fun addition exclusive to the D23 party was a Specialty Cocktail menu. The menu included fun beverages with creative names such as True Love’s Kiss and Electric Lemonade Parade!

My group and I tried both of these and they were delicious!

Starbucks at Disney World Will Be Opening Soon

June 5, 2013 by Siera 6 Comments

Coffee drinkers will be excited to know that Starbucks at Disney World will be opening soon! Starbucks is coming soon to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World! It has been over a year since Disney announced that they would be adding a Starbucks to their theme park and we are finally seeing the signs!

You can now see a gold Starbucks’ logo on the window of the Main Street Bakery as well as a second Starbucks sign located above its doorway. However, you will still find a notice on the door — featuring the “Main Street Restoration Society” logo — alerting guests that the bakery is still under construction.

Disney and Starbucks announced back in April 2012 that the coffee retailer would open a location in each of the the Disney Parks United States theme parks. Although these locations will be the first Starbucks found in Disney’s domestic parks, the two companies have worked together elsewhere, including Disneyland Paris’ Disney Village.

Relax at Disney World? Yes it IS Possible!

June 4, 2013 by Catie 2 Comments

One of the chief complaints I got from my husband the first time we went to Walt Disney World together was that it didn’t “feel like a vacation” because it wasn’t “relaxing”. And I agree that it’s definitely possible, especially if it’s your first trip there, or you have kids with you, to feel overwhelmed and develop the need to rush around and do it all. WDW has a lot to offer – rides, attractions, characters, restaurants – it’s impossible to do it all, and you will run yourself down trying – so much so that you will need a vacation to recover from your vacation!

Luckily, there are many ways to deal with this “Disney Overload” syndrome that will help you slow down, relax, and enjoy your vacation:

Take A Day Off – From the Parks that is: Spending all your days at the Parks means you will get as much Disney Magic as possible – but it also means you will be tired, achy and cranky, so I suggest a “non parks day” where you can relax and swim or shop or just catch up on sleep and recharge yourself for those nonstop Park days. And if you’re not sure what there is to do outside the WDW Parks, click here to find out!
