FOODIE FRIDAY! My Latest Experience at Tiffin's

Paul and I had a dinner at Tiffin's in Disney's Animal Kingdom park a few years back.  I was so totally enthralled with this dining location, I just knew I had to go back, and when I was eating my lunch this time, I actually made the reservation to dine there again the first week in March when we are down for my birthday.



Not only is it the food and the surroundings, but the Cast Members from the people who check you in, to the servers, everything here makes me want to go back.

My server this last time was Mikey, and I just loved this guy.  He was so special!  Friendly, courteous, kind, attentive...you name it.

The menu pages are all below.

 I chose the Rose' for my wine choice with the main entree I decided on.

This bread with dipping sauce was different, but tasty.  The dipping sauce was sour and sweet at the same time. 

I dined on the Tiffin's Salad, which was totally different, delicious, refreshing and very different from anything I had ever had before.  It consisted of Avocado, Tomato, Roasted Sweet Corn, Queso Fresco, and Buttermilk Dressing. A totally beautiful presentation.

My main entree was the Butter Chicken.  This was so good, I want to have it right now!!

Chickpea-Rice Croquette, English Peas, Cauliflower, Pickled Onion

Once again, thanks for joining me on my FOODIE FRIDAY travels!  Please stop by again next week!

Last But Not Least...Holiday Decoration at Grand Destino Tower!

Hey everyone!  Hope you Christmas was great.  Today, I am sharing the last part of the holiday decorations from my trip.  The second half of my stay in November was at Grand Destino Tower.  It's a beautiful edition to Coronado Springs Resort, and I am so happy I was able to stay there!

With this being a new addition to the resort, no one really had any idea of what the decorations would look like, so this was really fun to see them first hand, and for the first time!  Here are a few shots of the decorations around the Tower, and some with me and my friend Beatrice!

These huge bells were hanging from the arches in the outside overhang of the lobby area.  They were so pretty!!

THROWBACK THURSDAY! Out Last Stay At Riverside!!

October 2012 was our last stay at Port Orleans Riverside resort.  We will be staying there once again starting on March 1, 2020 for my birthday week.  

These are some highlight photos from our previous stay.  

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

From our house to yours.  We are sending you the Merriest of Christmas Wishes!!  

May God's Blessing be on you all today, and in the new year.  

Merry Christmas Eve!!

The Countdown Continues! 2 Days til Christmas!

Holiday Beauty at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter

I love staying at Port Orleans French Quarter.  It's in my top five favorite resorts on Disney property.  I love the small size and the quaintness of the entire place.
When I got there on my trip that began November 18, there were no decorations up as of yet.  The Cast Member who checked me in said they were one of the last resorts being decorated.  I was going to be there for five nights, so I was hoping it would be done soon.

The next day I got up, and still nothing.  But, day 3 was a charm, and low and behold the lobby had started to take shape, and then the next day the rest of the resort was in full holiday mode!

Here are a few photos of the lobby area and trees.  Enjoy!

Loving the Main Tree At Disney's Animal Kingdom Park!

I just love all the decorations at Disney's Animal Kingdom, but I really love the huge tree before the front entrance to the park.
The characters below the tree are some of my favorites as Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Piglet,  Owl, Kanga and Roo are found here.  My favorite of course is Eeyore and I would loved to have made my way onto the bus with him.......but I figured they would probably give me that "what do you think you are doing look"..so, I left him be.

Meeko was getting into the act as well as he pops out of the gift!

Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah to all of our readers of the Jewish faith.  May your holiday be fulled with love and joy!

The Countdown Continues! Three Days til Christmas!

My Visit to the Christmas Tree Trail at Disney Springs.

One of my main items on my list for my last trip was going to see the Christmas Tree Trail they have at Disney Springs.  I was able to fit it on one evening, so that made me really happy.  Bonus........I got to see Santa and sit on his lap!
I just loved all the trees and their decorations on the 27+ trees they had this year.  They were all so pretty but, my standout favorites were The Little Mermaid tree (of course!) , the Princess and the Frog, Mary Poppins, Haunted Mansion, STAR WARS and Pinocchio! (Really I loved them all!)

I hope you enjoy seeing all the photos below, because I really enjoyed taking them.

Something happened to my Little Mermaid and Cinderella tree photos, so I had to borrow one to show you!

This was at the actual beginning of the trail, and I love this!!  Makes me want to buy multiple Monorail sets and do this.......but I won't!  

I had to take two different angles of the Haunter Mansion tree...it was absolutely amazing!
