Disney World Part 5

 This is our last Disney recap! We were so sad to see this Disney trip come to a close. The only way to get rid of the "Post-Disney-Blues" is to plan your next trip. ;)

We knew after our marathon-worthy day (Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot) that we would need a slow morning, so that's exactly what we did! We had reservations around 8:00AM at Topolino's Terrace at the Riviera Resort. This was our last character meal and the one I was the most excited for! Reservations for this restaurant are really hard to come by, so I was ecstatic that we had secured one! We got to meet Donald, Daisy, Pluto, Mickey and Minnie at this particular character meal. 

The menu at Topolino's has fixed prices, which means that no matter what you order it costs the same. Our waiter gave us an insider tip: You can order one item, but with a side of another if you'd like to try more than one item. I ordered the Quiche Lorraine with a side of the sour cream waffles, and Dustin ordered the salmon with a side of the waffles. Sammy ordered the Mickey waffles with bacon and fruit. 


Pretty shortly after we were seated we got this yummy pastry bucket! The pastries were warm, guys. So delicious! You are able to request a refill, but we didn't. 

Sammy was loving life with his Mickey waffle dipper. I didn't get a good picture of his plate, but it came on a artist's palette with lots of dipping options. Needless to say, I wish I hadn't put him in this shirt for this meal - he was a sticky mess!

My meal was absolutely delicious. It was one of my favorite meals of the trip! 

I really think we had the best seats in the house. We were seated in a huge booth that was open to the center. This meant we got a front row view of all of the characters as they passed us. 

After our amazing breakfast we went back to our resort. I wanted to confirm our flights back (I was having a hard time having our confirmation numbers work, insert nerves), and we wanted to all catch a nap and pack a bit before we went to Magic Kingdom that afternoon and evening. Our flights were ridiculously early the next morning, so we wanted to have most of everything ready to go so we could enjoy our time at Magic Kingdom. 

Here we are, back on Dumbo for about the fifth time. My sweet friend, Hannah, made these shirts for our trip! I love that they aren't a "classic" Disney style shirt. 

I tell you what, I think that Sammy would be 100% content with just riding Dumbo and then checking out the circus train afterwards. It's his absolute favorite, and we have a hard time tearing him away from it! 

He's just so full of joy here. 

The rest of our day at Magic Kingdom was filled with hitting our favorite rides again, snacking on delicious food, and seeing the fireworks. This trip was truly one for the books! Sammy enjoyed just about every second and asks us to go back daily. Disney is always a magical place to visit, but the magic is next-level during the holiday season. We are already plotting our return trip! Thank you for reading along about our trip!

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today! 

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...
