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

Cooke’s of Dublin at Downtown Disney – Pies & Pints

Only we’re going to be talking about Irish Pie right now, specifically savory pies from Cooke’s of Dublin at Downtown Disney.

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

Breakfast at The Wave – two visits

We went to The Wave at the Contemporary Resort twice in less than a week. It really has become our go-to for breakfast (well heck, we tried calling to get into Kouzzina by Cat Cora for breakfast and were told that the only table was at 10:30 (that ain’t breakfast, that’s brunch!) and when we’ve

Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – less than a week away

There are topiaries all over the place and one of my favorites, the orchid display in Mexico, is back! Took some photos today (it was a bit grey and dreary) with my iPhone (please forgive the quality, Nick has some better ones coming in the future)…

A visit to the Mandara Spa at the Dolphin Resort

The only times I’ve been to a spa in the past was when we were on a cruise ship – the Norwegian Sun in March 2012 to be exact. We’ve talked about me going to the spas at Disney World, but for various reasons, I never got around to giving one a try until recently.

We have plans!! (of course we do)

Last week, there was an announcement re: Kevin Dundon (who you probably know by now is a favorite of ours…) – he’s doing a demonstration luncheon in March at Raglan Road…

We aren’t really INTO the signature dinners (he’s doing one of those on March 13th) and we thought that the “demonstration” part of
