Disney Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Board

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.…

Star Wars: Hoth Battle Party
We celebrated my little Star Wars fan’s fifth birthday with a Hoth Battle party! For the past couple years, my son has been all about Star Wars. Trips to Galaxy’s Edge have been highlights of Disney vacations, and visiting Darth Vader is now a beloved tradition. But in all the Star Wars galaxy, there’s one thing my little guy loves above all else – Imperial Walkers. His fascination with them began within the pages of his Star Wars board book, and then grew after coming face to face with his first AT-AT in Walt Disney World. Discovering my husband’s old N64 game (Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire) sealed the…

How to Throw a Star Wars Life Day Party
This week, we combined our love of Star Wars and Christmas by throwing a Life Day party! What is Life Day, you ask? Well, Star Wars super fans can tell you that Life Day is a Wookiee holiday first introduced in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. The special follows Chewbacca and Han Solo, as they attempt to get Chewy home in time for the holiday while evading the Galactic Empire. The Star Wars Holiday Special was very poorly received and was never rebroadcast or released on video. But the special did introduce audiences to Boba Fett, and I think that’s a pretty big win! While I understand the criticisms…

Disney Villain Dinner Party
As the air cools and the days get shorter, there’s no doubt spooky season is approaching. So, to celebrate this seasonal change, we hosted a dinner party inspired by the dark side of Disney – the dastardly villains! We love a good Disney villain. They are fascinating and complex characters that captivate us with their personalities and ambitions. Sometimes, we may even relate to these despicable characters and find ourselves rooting for them! All the while knowing, ultimately, good will triumph and evil will get their comeuppance. So, to pay tribute to some of our favorite Disney baddies, we created a Disney Villain Dinner Party. Each menu item was directly…
