    Casper Brunch and a Movie

    September 26, 2021 /

    Today, I’m sharing our Casper Themed Brunch to celebrate National Pancake Day on September 26th!  We typically enjoy fun themed dinners in our house, but to take advantage of this pancake-loving holiday, I switched things up and planned a brunch menu instead!  And because now is the time to celebrate all things Halloween in our house, I decided to give our brunch a fun Halloween twist while we enjoyed the movie, Casper! What does Casper and brunch have to do with each other, you ask?  In one of my favorite scenes from the film, Casper whips up an INCREDIBLE breakfast for his new housemates on their first morning together.  You…

    September 8, 2021 /

    Today, we are going over the Top 3 Table Service Locations in each park of the Walt Disney World Resort.  While Quick Service restaurants are convenient to get a speedy meal (check out our favorites HERE), sometimes it’s nice to just take a break from the hustle and bustle of the parks.  And Walt Disney World is home to some TOP NOTCH Table Service dining locations! Table Service dining at Walt Disney World consists of sit-down meals, buffets, family-style meals, character dining, and upscale signature dining.  Guests will enjoy menu concepts from Disney’s top chefs, high-quality fresh ingredients, and a broad range of cuisines suitable for any palate.  Here, we…

    Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen – A Review!

    August 26, 2021 /

    Today, I am sharing our review from one of Magic Kingdom’s best-themed table service restaurants – Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen!  That is QUITE a name.  Referred to simply as the Skipper Canteen, this Adventureland dining location is a continuation of the theming and story of the Jungle Cruise attraction. As the story goes, due to the success of the Jungle Cruises, the skippers opened the doors of their headquarters and kitchens to feed hungry travelers passing through.  Skippers make up the waitstaff of the restaurant – so be prepared for more corny jokes and silly puns during your visit.  Home to “World-Famous Jungle Cuisine,” the menu features exotic…

    Jungle Cruise Themed Dinner

    August 21, 2021 /

    The long-anticipated Jungle Cruise movie recently premiered, and we did a themed dinner to celebrate the night!  This film is based on the beloved attraction in Disneyland and Walt Disney World.  Full of corny dad jokes and groan-worthy puns, Jungle Cruise is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite attractions in the parks.  And I’m happy to say, the film was successful in incorporating that classic fun. For our Jungle Cruise Themed Dinner menu, I took inspiration from one of my favorite table service restaurants in Magic Kingdom – Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen!  That may seem like a mouthful, but if you are a big fan of the Jungle Cruise…

    Oliver and Company Themed Dinner Night

    August 1, 2021 /

    This week, our themed Disney Dinner is inspired by the animated classic, Oliver and Company!  This film is loosely based on the story of Oliver Twist and features a lost kitten who joins up with a gang of dogs in New York City.  My kids love this movie because it features fun musical numbers, lovable furry friends, and the great city of New York!  Not only did we enjoy watching Oliver and Company with this themed dinner, but we also started the evening out by watching a doggie dock diving competition at our local sports store.  The kids enjoyed watching the “dock dogs” show off their jumping skills before ending…
