Cinderella's Dining at Citricos

Getting dining reservations at Disney World is not easy!  So I was super excited to get reservations at Citricos with Cinderella and her Princess friends!!  We were celebrating a big birthday for my daughter (10) so it was even more special.  We started off with a bakery basket filled with turnovers, muffins and croissants.


For the entree, I had the grilled ham and biscuit.  This dish came with poached eggs but I substituted for potatoes because I am not an egg person.



My son had the Mickey waffles (a must do on any Disney visit).  Did you notice the cups?  They turn blue when they are cold and guess what?  You get to keep them :) What a fun keepsake, especially since this is a limited time location while the castle is being refurbished.


 And then.....there was the dessert:


The picture does not give the little blue topped cream puff justice .  It was a perfect match to Cinderella's dress.   

Speaking of Cinderella, we met her as we walked into the restaurant and then Snow White, Ariel, Jasmine and Belle made their way around to our table. My son, who is 3, was not sure about the kisses Snow White bestowed upon him.  That was a memorable moment.  Oh, and the girls received wands and the boys swords to take home.  It was a fantastic brunch.  Our waiter, Nabil was wonderful! We had a little hiccup with a dessert I had ordered for my daughter for her birthday but he made everything perfectly seamless and my daughter did not even notice.  He even brought her a cupcake.

Then her slipper that I ordered arrived...  


Now if you want to order one of these you can call the cake hotline (407) 827-2253.  It does require a 48 hour notice.  And I would recommend you verify your order when you check in at the restaurant.  For more information on the adorable chocolate slipper or other cakes, I like The Disney Food Blog.

I also ordered this small cake, which was delivered to our room at the Polynesian Village Resort.

It had a light inside the white chocolate castle which changed colors and it was a great surprise for our daughter to come back to the room at night and have this waiting for her.  

We really enjoyed our meal at Citricos.  Although it was not the castle, the ambiance was still magnificent.  

And now, I'm dreaming of a Disney Trip....

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
