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!

The Brisel family is OFF!

I'm so excited to share that our family is celebrating the holiday season at our very favorite place...Disney World! This trip has been a long time coming. We have been saving and planning for over a year, and yesterday we [yes we...Santa doesn't get credit for this one 😉] surprised our boys with a trip to Disney World for their Christmas gift. Disney is truly Dustin and my happy place, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the boys!  While we're gone I plan to blog about our trip, so I'm hoping to share an update tomorrow evening. For some who may not know, I am working my way through the certification process of becoming a Smart Moms Travel Agent, which is a travel company that specializes in trips to Disney World. I'm hopeful that it might turn into a fun hobby that lets me share a little bit of my Disney knowledge with other families. 😊 I thought blogging our trip would be a fun resource to share with future clients! For a little recap of today... We wer...

Disney World: Day 5 Recap

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...

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!
