After the release of the first teaser trailer of Mulan, we’re really hyped for the live-action films coming to the big screen soon. It’s no wonder that Disney is keeping the spinning wheel rolling as they let the official Maleficent: Mistress of Evil trailer fly into view TODAY.
It’s time to take our tour of Walt Disney World Easter egg displays to the Yacht Club Resort! This display is smaller than the one at the Yacht’s Club’s counterpart, Beach Club, and it’s substantially smaller than the fabulous Grand Floridian display. But with a few delicately decorated eggs, it’s still a lovely display, indeed.

Topping it all off is this serene Dumbo egg surrounded by circus peanuts! [Read more…]
February is the month we celebrate LOVE… and there is plenty to love when it comes to the latest merchandise we’re spotting around Epcot!

Snow. Christmas carols. Tasty holiday treats. Trees decorated with your favorite Disney characters. Where can you experience all of this holiday magic in just one place? The Christmas Tree Trail at Disney Springs, of course!
Star Wars Tree

Disneyland’s Princess meal takes place in Disney California Adventure at Ariel’s Grotto, a lovely little restaurant full of windows and under-the-sea themeing perfectly fitting for the princess from The Little Mermaid.
Ariel’s Grotto lunch at Disney’s California Adventure in Disneyland Resort begins with an impressive-looking first course followed by your choice of entrees. Go ahead and skip ahead to the dessert platter. It’s worth a quick peek now, but be sure to return here to finish our full review!
Restaurant Entrance
The princess vibe hits you before you even walk into the restaurant. Well, at least it did for us! We were required to walk past a merchandise kiosk selling princess dresses in order to get to the front door. Can you imagine walking by all of those dresses with your little girl on your way to a princess character meal? You’ll have to keep your wits about you, because I’m guessing she won’t! 😉
Princess Dress Kiosk
Passing the princess dresses, we walked under a sign welcoming us (and the Merfolk), and headed into the reception area for Ariel’s.

Here, we checked in at the podium and checked out a display of celebration cakes. These were prominent throughout Disneyland during our last visit. They’re available for order when [Read more…]
Lords and Ladies of the Kingdom, we welcome you to…Cinderella Castle!!!
Admittedly, I couldn’t wait to go back to the castle — in the middle of Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom — to dine. I’d never had breakfast here (not since I was a small fry, at least), and I was downright giddy! I don’t care how old you are, it’s just plain rad to go inside the castle where nobody else (unless they have a reservation, too, of course) gets to go. Seriously. Rad.
So I made the reservation the minute our 180-day Advanced Dining Reservation Window opened up (yep — this is one of the toughest reservations to get, so book early), gave them my credit card number (need to lock this one in with a card number — call in advance to cancel, or you’ll be charged), and started counting down the days…
There are several magical things that happen when you book an early breakfast reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table:
You are cordially invited to join your favorite Disney Princesses for a breakfast straight out of your favorite storybook at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall!
