  • Little Shop of Horrors Themed Dinner
    Dinner and Movie Nights (Non-Disney),  Halloween

    Little Shop of Horrors Themed Dinner

    August 5, 2025 /

    This week’s themed dinner was inspired by the horror comedy musical – Little Shop of Horrors! While it’s still very much the summer season, come August, we can’t help but get excited for Halloween. So, to dip our toes in the spooky season while still respecting these sunshiny days, I aspired to create a themed dinner that touched on both seasons. A “Summerween” film, if you’ve jumped on that bandwagon. And then it hit me – Little Shop of Horrors! The film’s flower shop setting embodies summer, while the terrifying carnivorous plant delivers the creepy component. I don’t know about you, but it makes perfect sense to me! The catchy…

    This week, we’re covering everything you need to know about celebration buttons at Walt Disney World! Walt Disney World is a fantastic destination to celebrate special occasions.

    Wicked Themed Dinner

    April 12, 2025 /

    The week, we stepped into the land of Oz with a spellbinding Wicked themed dinner! Inspired by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Wicked first debuted on Broadway in 2003. The musical focuses on two witches, Elphaba and Glinda, and the events which occurred before and after Dorothy Gale donned her ruby slippers. Despite being polar opposites in nature, Elphaba and Glinda develop a deep friendship. However, their friendship is tested by the corrupt rule of Oz and ultimately leads to Elphaba’s descent into villainy as the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked achieved massive success and became one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history. I was incredibly fortunate to…

    101 Dalmatians Themed Dinner

    March 19, 2025 /

    This week, we had a barking good time enjoying a special themed dinner to 101 Dalmatians! 101 Dalmatians is one of my kids’ favorite Disney movies – you really can’t go wrong with 101 adorable puppies. And I personally enjoy Cruella de Vil. Her iconic fashion, high society charm, and reprehensible obsession with fur make her a villain we love to hate. With our busy schedules, I realized it’s been a while since our last themed dinner – my son’s Lion Guard birthday party, to be exact! Since my kids are so fond of 101 Dalmatians, I decided it was the perfect movie to get us back into our themed…

    Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White – A Review!

    March 7, 2025 /

    This week, we’re reviewing our recent visit to Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White! Story Book Dining at Artist Point is a character dining experience located at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort. This prix fixe dinner offers a selection of individual plated entrées in addition to shared appetizers and desserts. Set in a scenic enchanted forest, guests have the pleasure of interacting with popular characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs during their meal. I’ve always been curious to dine at Story Book Dining at Artist Point, but my daughters never showed much interest in those characters growing up. Now, as they have gotten older, their interest…

    Are you heading to Disney, and wishing to send some Disney magic home to a loved one?  Or maybe you’d just like a fun keepsake to chronicle your vacation?  Then consider sending postcards from Walt Disney World!

Sending postcards during your Disney vacation is a great way to let loved ones know you’re thinking of them.  And because receiving postcards is less common, your recipient will surely be surprised and delighted when they open their…
