WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!

14 Must-Do Disney World Restaurants for 2020!

FOODIE FRIDAY! Different Meals from My Day at Hollywood Studios!

Hey all, and welcome back to FOODIE FRIDAY!  Our first post about food in 2020!  This one is all at the same park, but kind of all over the place when it comes to types of food.
Disney's Hollywood Studios was my destination for the day.
I started out the morning in Toy Story Land and went to Woody's Lunch Box for something light.  I had the special Chocolate-Hazelnut Lunch Box Tart and and orange juice.  I love to try the different tarts when they change out, and this was is still being offered at the time of publishing.  I love Nutella, and this is basically what is inside this one.

Later on I was hungry for some lunch so I had some basic stuff at AMC Commissary.

I had the ever regular Chicken Tenders and fries.  I gotta say for your average chicken tenders, these were actually really good.  Very hot, very moist and tasted good.

I tore one open not only to let it cool off, but also to show you that is was moist and not dried out in the least.  I would get these here again if I didn't have a taste for something else.

My friend Darlene was with me later in the day as I had a reservation at Savi's Workshop to build a light saber! We had a reservation at Oga's Cantina so we had a cocktail and some fun.  I really love going  into Oga's because of the atmosphere and the fun libations they make!  I had the Fuzzy TaunTaun.  The fuzzy top of this cocktail makes your tongue numb for a little while, but it's really good! 

Lastly, we had the Endorian Chicken Wrap at Ronto Roasters in Galaxy's Edge. This  was very tasty, and I would for sure get this again.  It was not filling and we both really enjoyed this.

Check out the My Disney Experience app to see all the menus for the above locations!  Check back in again next week when we take a look at another location I dined at in November!  We will be looking at Toledo Tapas-Steak and Seafood in the Grand Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort!

BOOK REVIEW - Black Spire by Delilah S. Dawson

                                                Featured on the cover is Resistance Spy,  Vi Moradi 

STAR WARS has been a part of my life since the original film came out in 1977 when I was 19.  Fully grasping the concept of this movie and then eventual trilogy, and then all the other films that followed made it a love that I have never lost.

Stepping into Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney World for the first time back in August of 2019 literally brought tears to my eyes, so much so I had to step to the side and compose myself.  The land is truly immersive and so true to what I think the whole concept of a real place in these films would be like.

After being there in August, I found out about this book, STAR WARS Galaxy's Edge BLACK SPIRE by Delilah S.Dawson, who is a New York Times Best Selling Author.The book is all about this created land of Galaxy's Edge.  The story is about how the Resistance came to be at this place called Black Spire Outpost and the struggles they face.

I don't want to give too much away about this book because I want you to read it!
If you are a STAR WARS fan, and you enjoy going to Galaxy's Edge (or even if you have not been yet) this will help you understand who the characters are that are interacting with guests there and know their names, and what they do.  This book totally brings them into perspective when you see them there.

I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down as it kept my interest the entire time.    I love to read physical books (don't yell at me for killing trees please!)  I am still old school and love to own books and hold them to read while turning pages, I have book shelves where I can display my books too.

I am going to try and convince my Paul to read this before we go on our trip in March so he can really understand what the land and its inhabitants are all about.

I got the book on Amazon so I have included the link for it below.

THROWBACK THURSDAY! Looking Back...to October 2012, and Something I Miss!

Wow....2012 really doesn't seem that long ago, does it?  Maybe it's because I'm getting older that time is going my so quickly.  When all I wanted was to turn 21, my Mom said, "don't wish your life away.  It will go fast enough as it is."  Truer words have never been spoken.  

Four years to the day after these photos were taken, the Main Street Electrical Parade would be gone from Walt Disney World forever on October 9, 2016. It would  head back to Disneyland after that.  

Walt Disney World is in such dire need of a night time parade again.  I wish they would either bring back MSEP, or Spectro Magic could make a triumphant return!  That would make me really happy!!  

I know these are not the greatest photos as I was using an insta-matic camera back in 2012, but they are not too bad. 

Enjoy!
