On our last Disney trip, one of the crafts we did before our trip was paint Disney pictures frames. This is extremely inexpensive (maybe $2 a frame), and it is super easy! We did Mickey and Minnie Mouse but feel free to change things up!

Disney Souvenir
If you have stayed at Disney World in the last few years, they send a nice little picture and a thank you for visiting. We have received both Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. It is a sketch picture and at the bottom it says "Payne Family Vacation 2015". It is super cute, and we have so many that I felt we should do something with at least one of them. This idea has been floating around Pinterest, so I decided to recreate it. See below!
Disney Quick Service Review
As you may have read in my previous post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year anniversary. We did not eat at a lot of quick service restaurants, but I did want to briefly review the food when we did. I have pictures in most cases, but either way, I have my opinions below!
Chefs de France Review
As you may have read in my previous post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year anniversary. As I wrote about yesterday, Brad and I always select one must do restaurant. Mine is always Teppan Edo, his is one of the French restaurants. I personally prefer Chefs de France over Monsieur Paul simply because of the dessert selection. If they offered the same desserts at both places, it would be Monsieur Paul without a doubt. That is simply because of the environment. See below for pictures and my review of Chefs de France.
Teppan Edo Review
As you may have read in my previous post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year anniversary. Teppan Edo has turned into one of those restaurants I feel I need to eat at every time we go to Disney. We first tried it back in September with friends. Then when my mom and I returned in January, I had it again. I don't really know why we love it so much. I mean there isn't anything super Disney-esque about it, but it is really, really good hibachi and the service/experience is always great. See below for my review and pictures!
Be Our Guest Dinner Review
As you may have read in my previous post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year anniversary. When we originally started planning our trip, I did check for reservations for hard to get places at the 180 day mark. Be Our Guest was already booked up for the date we thought we wanted. It wasn't a huge deal to us, but it was a restaurant I wanted to try at some point for dinner. Well about two months prior to our trip, I tried to check once a day or so to see if anything popped up as available. Sure enough on April 6 it did. The moment I saw it, I didn't question a thing, I just booked it. I knew I could rearrange any of my Fastpasses or Touring Plans if needed much more easily than being picky about a time for dinner at Be Our Guest. See below for my review and picutres!
Be Our Guest Breakfast Review
As you may have read in my previous post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year anniversary. Be Our Guest breakfast was not originally part of our plan. When Disney announced that they would start serving breakfast at Be Our Guest back in March, we decided we would definitely see if we could get reservations prior to park opening. If so, we would try it. If not, no heartburn about missing it. I was able to get a reservation at 8:05 a.m. I did keep an eye on park hours to make sure that the opening did not change to 8 a.m. If it changed, we planned to cancel our reservation. Luckily it did not. See below for pictures and my review.
The Hollywood Brown Derby Review
As you may have read in a previous post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year anniversary. We decided to try The Hollywood Brown Derby because we had heard good things from friends you had eaten there. Originally I planned to book this with the Fantasmic package, but when we secured our dates, we decided that our Hollywood Studios day would only be a half day since we spent our first evening there. We opted to try it at lunch mainly because it was less expensive. This is also one of those two credit restaurants that we would not normally eat at if we were on the Disney Dining Plan. See below for my review and pictures.
Le Cellier Review
As you may have read in my previous post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year anniversary. For our actual anniversary, I knew we would be in the parks, so I wanted us to eat somewhere really nice. We decided to eat at Epcot since there our countless nice restaurants throughout the World Showcase. I decided we should try Le Cellier. Brad loves a good steak, and I read that the steaks here are amazing. Since we were not on the dining plan, I decided we should try as many 2 dining credit restaurants as possible. This one did not disappoint. See below for pictures and review!
Disney's California Grill Review
As you may have read in my previous post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year anniversary. California Grill is a restaurant that we wanted to try two years ago while honeymooning at Disney. We were staying at The Contemporary and we heard that was the place to eat. Unfortunately our honeymoon was during their big refurbishment, so we were unable to eat there. I made it my mission for us to eat there this trip. That was the ONLY reservation I made at the 180 mark because I wanted to make sure we had this reservation at a decent time.
Disney's Saratoga Springs Review
As you may have read in my previous planning post and trip report, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year wedding anniversary. Below is a review of our stay at Saratoga Springs. If you want more information on my trip and haven't read about it yet, read it here.
Disney World May 2015 Trip Report
As you may have read in my previous planning post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, this is probably our last time visiting for a little while, so we tried to make the most of the time we had. Hence all the planning that was involved. I also wanted this trip to be semi-laid back. We did not follow my touring plans at all. Generally, I knew where I wanted us to be each time of day, and I kept track of our Fastpasses and dining reservations, but other than that, we made decisions on the go. Below is a breakdown of each day of our trips. Later this week, I plan to have reviews of both our hotel and our dining locations. I will link those within this post as they are published, so be on the lookout for those!
