The Sandlot Themed Dinner
Step up to the plate, because it’s time to swing for the fences with our Sandlot dinner and movie night! The Sandlot is a summer staple in our house. Nothing brings on the nostalgia more than childhood innocence, the crack of the bat, and endless summer freedom. Our two youngest are playing baseball and softball this summer, making The Sandlot feel even more relatable as our days are filled with games of catch, batting practice, and cheering from the stands. So, this year, I decided it was the perfect summer to create a Sandlot-themed dinner! Our Sandlot dinner menu focused on all-American ballpark classics with nods to the film. We…

Grab a seat at the table, because we’re heading to Mom’s kitchen to review the Fantasmic Dining Package at 50’s Prime Time Café! Dining at 50’s Prime Time Café is like sitting at the kitchen table in a 1950’s home. Here, you’ll find Formica tables, kitschy décor, and black-and-white televisions featuring clips from popular prime-time shows of the era. It truly is a blast from the past!

Zootopia Themed Dinner
Get ready to “try everything” with our Zootopia themed dinner and movie night! In the bustling mammal metropolis of Zootopia, anyone can be anything! And this motto rings true for Judy Hopps, the first bunny to join Zootopia’s police department. After receiving her first case, she teams up with Nick Wilde (a fox con artist) to investigate a series of animal disappearances. However, their investigations lead them to uncover an even deeper conspiracy in their city. My kids are animal-lovers, so it’s no surprise Zootopia is a hit with the family.

KPop Demon Hunters Themed Dinner
KPop Demon Hunters fandom has been sweeping the nation, and my family is no exception. The story, characters, and (best of all) music have made this one of our favorite films to enjoy together. So, I created a KPop Demon Hunters themed dinner to take our next movie night up a notch. I’ll be honest, when I first saw Netflix advertise this movie, I thought the concept seemed silly. Pop idols slaying demons? I think I’ll pass. But when I learned adults my age were obsessing over the movie as much as the kids, we had to see what the fuss was about. And boy, was I wrong about dismissing…

As you probably know, we love adding a touch of Disney magic to our days. So, for added pixie dust on Valentine’s Day, I decided to make a Mickey and Minnie charcuterie board. They are the original Disney couple, after all! To pull it…

Morimoto Asia – A Disney Dining Review!
This week, we’re heading to Disney Springs to share our recent dining review of Morimoto Asia! Chef Masaharu Morimoto, acclaimed Iron Chef and Food Network star since 1998, is the creative force and owner of this signature restaurant. His Pan-Asian menu takes inspiration from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines while seamlessly blending Western and Asian ingredients. I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews of Morimoto Asia, so I couldn’t wait to try it for myself. This restaurant has been at the top of my Disney bucket list for an evening with my husband. However, vacationing with three kids in tow hasn’t afforded us that highly anticipated Disney date night just yet.…
