HAPPY HALLOWEEN from us at the Disneynut blog page!

We wish you a Happy and SAFE Halloween!  Remember, be kind to the kiddies!




FOODIE FRIDAY!

We are off on our cruise adventure, so I thought I would share some "cruise food" with you today.

Here are a couple photos of our dessert from PALO on the Disney Dream. This is the chocolate souffle' which they are famous for.  I can't wait to experience this again at our PALO dinner aboard the Wonder on November 1st.




Mouth watering yet?  ;-)

Throwback Thursday

   This week on TBT, we take a trip back two years ago, when we left for our last cruise.  Today we fly off to Miami, and are spending the night at the Conrad Miami on Brickell Ave. and having a nice dinner with a Disney collector friend from Miami.  We will dine at Juvia, a lovely place that I am looking forward to experiencing myself.  

   The picture below is from the CDL bus when we arrived at Port Canaveral, and saw our floating home for the next 4 nights.  



What a beauty!







We are super excited about this next cruise, and can't wait to experience the Disney Wonder is all its glory!

Catch you all when we get back!




I will have a review of Juvia in an upcoming post here on the blog page.  However, my friend dines here quite often, so I know it has to be good.  If you are in the Miami area for business or pleasure, be sure to check it out.  The link for the restaurant is below:

FOODIE FRIDAY!

Tortuga Tavern in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom is 
a frequently overlooked and under-rated location.  
Photo credits: DisneyFoodBlog











As it sits right across from Pirates of the Caribbean, it is in one of my favorite areas.  They feature Mexican fare, and my favorite there is the taco salad.  

If you have never stopped to dine here, please do so on your next visit!

FOODIE FRIDAY! Citrus Swirl......YUMM!

I know everyone loves Dole Whip....and don't get me wrong..............so do I!  However, in my humble opinion,  The Citrus Swirl from Sunshine Tree Terrace is the best snack for cooling off on a hot day!

FOODIE FRIDAY!

I know this technically isn't food...........but, I just had to feature this anyway!  For those who know about Club Cool at Epcot, you know what this is.  If you don't it's a place to go to try different "cola" products from around the world.  Beverly is from Italy..............




I had never tried it before, and with the comments I had read and they said that it was "nasty" "disgusting", "horrible" ..... I was really afraid to try it.  

Call me strange, call me odd, whatever you want................but I really liked it!  It reminded me of Fresca!  
I always loved Fresca, so it was not anything that was strange tasting to me.  




 Who remembers Fresca?










Below are the current selections available at Club Cool


So, don't forget to stop by Club Cool next time you are at Epcot and give it a try!

Please leave your comments below and let me know your opinion of Beverly!

This week on Throwback Thursday, we take a look at a picture from 2012 at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. 

Since I just got back from attending the event this year, (and I will share some of those pictures soon!) I wanted to share this awesome picture!
