Apr 30 Festival of the Arts

I have attended the Festival of the Arts 4-5 times now. And I have attended the Festival each year that Epcot has had it. It is not my most favorite Festival, but it is my second favorite (maybe one day I will do a post ranking the Epcot festivals and why, ha!). Anyhow, we go to this Festival so often because it takes place in January and February when we travel to Disney the most. I have yet to do a post just about the Festival, so I thought I would do it this year. I will show a few of the things we did each year, but my main focus will be 2019 since that is the most recent Festival.

Oct 21 Disney September 2018

Vacations, Kids

My mom has the privilege to travel for her job. She found out back in June that she was going to be in Orlando for a week. So she wanted Melody and I to tag along, so we picked the week based on our schedules. We decided to go in September.

Mar 25 Port Orleans French Quarter Review

Brittany Payne

Vacations

When mom and I went to Disney back in January, we opted to stay at Port Orleans French Quarter. We had Annual Passes so we had a little extra money to spend on this trip since we were not buying tickets. So we decided to stay moderate in the end. With the construction at Caribbean Beach Resort and Coronado Springs, those were not an option. I have already stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, and the cabins at Fort Wilderness do not appeal to me. So that left Port Orleans French Quarter (POFQ). I have actually always wanted to stay here, so it worked out. And we were able to get a discount using our AP.

Mar 11 Beaches and Cream Review

Brittany Payne

Vacations

My mom and I visited Beaches and Cream for the very first time on our trip in January. Brad and I visited the to-go counter back in December and bought a milkshake and an ice cream cone. Because of this visit in December, I came home and found dinner reservations for mom and me. The food smelled and looked delicious from our brief walk inside. So I really wanted to give this restaurant a try. I planned it on the day we were already visiting Epcot so that we could just walk over. It worked out perfectly because we were able to take a bus from the Beach Club to Disney Springs for some shopping. Check out our pictures and review below:

Mar 6 Yak and Yeti Food Cafe

Brittany Payne

Vacations

When mom and I went to Disney in January, one of the new places we tried was Yak and Yeti Food Cafe. It is located in Animal Kingdom near Kali River Rapids. We rarely spend a whole lot of time in Animal Kingdom. Because of that, we rarely eat at any quick service or table service restaurants. And if we do, it is usually the same place...Pizzafari. Because we wanted to do Flight of Passage, we went on the time and day I could get a Fastpass for it. So we ended up being at Animal Kingdom at dinner. Yak and Yeti has always been a restaurant I wanted to try, but I wasn't sure we would have time for table service. So we opted for the quick service version. Check out my review below!

Feb 11 January 2018 Disney Planning

Brittany Payne

Vacations

It is that time of year again when mom and I go on our annual girls' trip. We bought a Disney World Annual Pass last year, so it only made sense to do Disney again. All of the cold weather at home almost makes me wish we did a cruise, but it really didn't make much sense. Plus, I am not sure I can be away from Melody quite that long yet. Below is all of the planning that went into this year's trip!
