EPCOT Chefs de France : 14th Birthday Celebration

My now 14 year old is obsessed with Paris and just France is general. She dreams of going to France to see the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland Paris (hopefully one day that will happen!) But for now, what better place to celebrate her birthday than Chefs de France in EPCOT?

The birthday girl (and actually my husband too) had the lunch combo with Croque Monsieur and French onion soup. It looked delicious! The portions are extremely generous! The soup was enough for a meal in and of itself.

I had the vegetable lasagna. I have had this several times before and I always enjoy it. Just a warning, don't fill up on the delicious french baguette they bring before your meal because all of the portions we have encountered at this restaurant are very generous.

The prix-fixe menu also includes a dessert of your choice. I couldn't order a specialty cake for my daughter's birthday since this restaurant is serviced by an outside vendor (as are several other EPCOT restaurants) but luckily the desserts here are fabulous! Our favorite is the profiteroles au chocolat (puff choux with the vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce) but I am sure the other desserts would not disappoint!

I do believe you can order the standard birthday cakes if you are interested in those, but not specialty cakes. I am sure you could probably bring in a cake if you wanted. You could check with the cake hotline for more details on cakes available. We love the dessert above so my daughter was thrilled with it. They also sang to her when they brought it :) Check out the Chefs de France Menu here. My mom and dad were on this trip with us and everyone in our party of seven, including my 3 year old, enjoyed their food here! It wasn't France but it was certainly delicious and my daughter loved it. And that is all that counts ;)

Happy 14th Birthday to my first born!

Our Big Day Out With Thomas

We had such a fun time visiting with our friends from the Island of Sodor! My 3 year old son is obsessed with Thomas and Friends, so it was a dream day for him!! There were several activities to keep us busy before our big ride with Thomas. There was a tent with Thomas mechandise (we spent a lot of time there), a magic show, a really small miniature golf section (perfect size for small children), story telling, a bounce house, a crane demonstration and other activites. We were able to meet and take lots of pictures with Sir Topham Hatt (the line to meet him was rather long but moved quickly...there was neither confusion nor delay ;)) Like I said, we spent a lot of time in the merchandise tent. They had some great stuff! I was glad we stopped there first because we picked up the little engineer cap and my sweet baby wore it all day :) We also got a Thomas whistle, PEZ dispenser, A Day Out with Thomas book collection (I taped our tickets inside

Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

Disney's Polynesian Village Resort is going to be wonderful when all the construction is over! First off, my family and I are HUGE Disney fans!!! I LOVE Walt Disney World! Whenever I feel like we need a little family time Disney is where I want to be :) There is something for everyone. We have a 13 year old, a 10 year old and a 3 year old. With that age diversity Disney World is perfect for us. We stayed at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort in January in a club level garden view room. The room was spacious for our party of five. We got the garden view because we are hardly in the room while at Disney and the view was not that important on this trip for us. On a side note, the club lounge offers a fabulous view through out the day! The only drawback on the room itself was that there was not a full length mirror in the room. But I guess that is fine, I really didn't want to see my tennis shoes anyway ;) Here are a few other pictures of the room.

St. Regis Atlanta Visit in January 2016

The St. Regis Atlanta was enjoyable from beginning to end. I can't say enough about the staff as they were AMAZING! We were celebrating my daughter's birthday during our one night stay at the St. Regis Atlanta and she was treated like a princess ;) On this hotel stay, we were traveling as a family of four since my eldest daughter was staying with a friend in the Atlanta area. When we arrived at the hotel my son and daughter were greeted at check in with a cute stuffed bear wearing a St. Regis Atlanta t-shirt (my four year old son named his "I love Mommy" :) ). I reserved the Superior Room since I knew we wouldn't be using the balcony on this trip and we were only a party of four instead of our usual five. The layout of this room was really well done. The room was very spacious and had every feature you need plus more! When you walk into the room you enter into the foyer which has a table complete with a vanity chair, two closets, and a niche
