Mighty Irish Festival at Raglan Road – Lunch Demonstration by Chef Kevin Dundon

So by now you know that we’re fans of Kevin Dundon and fans of Raglan Road Pub at Downtown Disney. And, in recent years, as Kevin has done more special events (outside of the signature dinner during the Epcot Food & Wine Festival), we’ve not been able to make it work with our schedules… In

A Swedish Massage at Mandara Spa, Dolphin Resort

I returned to Mandara Spa at the Dolphin Resort for another massage, this time I had a Swedish massage.

This differed from the Balinese massage in that there was more pressure and no aromatherapy component.

I thought that the Swedish massage was more to my liking. Ashley (my therapist) found some “peas” (a.k.a. trigger points)

bluezoo, we tried something new (two things actually)

This visit to bluezoo began with my visit to Mandara Spa (Balinese Massage), and nick waited for me in the bluezoo lounge. At the time, they were working on changing the cocktail menu and he had the opportunity to try the White Negroni … verdict, it’s very smooth.

2014 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival – Outdoor Kitchens and our plans for this year

Last year, we tried to eat everything from the outdoor kitchens during the Flower and Garden Festival (link to our FlipBoard magazine, Adults Extra Walt Disney World Magic – Flower & Garden 2013) – we didn’t “succeed” because there were some booths that we just didn’t want to eat at…

Sorry folks, this year is

Mexico Pavilion Orchids – Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014

The orchids in this pavilion are always gorgeous; before the outdoor kitchens became part of Flower & Garden, they were most evident along the main walkway around World Showcase. The day we were taking these photos, people kept stopping and wondering what we were staring at up high in the trees … Orchids of course.

Splitsville and 3 Pepper Calamari

Splitsville has been open at Downtown Disney for over a year and we hadn’t stopped in yet (for food or bowling that is, we’ve had drinks with friends at the outside bar a time or two). Our friends, Al & Judy and Harry & Sandy, bowled here last April – they had a great time

Kimono’s Sushi Bar – an accidental Valentine’s Dinner

We try to go out to dinner on Friday evenings… usually nothing extreme, drinks and a few nibbles or a light dinner… usually at the Swan and Dolphin Resorts. Well, this year, Valentine’s Day was on a Friday and we found ourselves at Kimono’s Sushi Bar… We haven’t been here in a long while and
