How to Homeschool with Disney
Since Covid ruined our real vacation plans (originally posted Spring 2020), we had a Disney staycation last week. I’ve already posted about all of the amazing meals and theme nights we had, (see here) but we also had a week full of Disney activities for our homeschooling! The world of Disney gives us a wealth of literary, art, history, science and math homeschooling activities. Of course I consulted Pinterest for some inspiration and there ain’t a whole lot out there. One of the only Pins I found was from Thesparrowshome.com. She had some great ideas to get me started. Below are some of the ideas I used from The Sparrow’s…

Ohana means Family- Remembering the Magic of the Polynesian Resort
Ohana means family. It is also an amazing restaurant at the Polynesian Resort in Walt Disney World. One of our favorite Disney memories is dining here in 2017. When Covid forced us to have a staycation, we chose to recreate this meal as our Grand Finale to “Disney at Home Week”. Originally posted Spring 2020 Some links may be affiliate links.

Taste the Magic of Disney: Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion-Inspired Taquitos Recipe
TLDR: An easy recipe for taquitos inspired by the Mexico pavilion at Disney’s Epcot. Originally posted May 2020 as part of my ‘Disney at Home’ series. I tweeted out a hint as to our Disney destination today, where do you think we’re going? Did you guess Epcot? Good job! Bienvenidos a Mexico! Epcot is occasionally my favorite Disney park. Even though it sometimes gets a bad wrap as the educational or boring park, it has a lot of the best food in all of Walt Disney World. Had I been feeling more adventurous I would’ve tackled fish n’ chips or the fanciest of French food for our Epcot dinner…but we’re…

Pandora Pinterest Fails-How NOT to make cuisine from Avatar
Way back when in the land we do not speak of-2020- I designed a Disney Staycation for my family. Up until this point, our Disney week at home has been full of all hits, no misses….until I “took” us to Pandora in the Animal Kingdom. For starters this is what the tiny one did to my kitchen: Recovering from that, I set out to make the food of Pandora from Satu’li Canteen and Pongu Pongu. Originally posted Spring 2020.

Disney World Staycation This post finds you smack in the middle of our Disney staycation, compliments of Covid. Each day we “visit” a different part of the Walt Disney World Resort.

You can find them here and here. In the meantime I will continue with our daily food updates this week! Today we once again concentrated on the Magic Kingdom (see yesterday’s menu here) and made homemade Mickey Mouse Rice Krispie Treats. Later we will enjoy dinner “at” The Plaza.…

Making ‘Chicken Guy’ At Home
Since we can’t go to Disney in person I am bringing the Disney magic home to us! (Originally posted Spring 2020, updated 2025) After our super successful brunch we “traveled” to Disney Springs for dinner to eat at Chicken Guy. See my awesome & realistic decor below: Why Chicken Guy? My oldest has been obsessed with Guy Fieri for a very long time. He was so looking forward to going to his restaurant during our trip to Disney. It wasn’t even in our original plan but he was so insistent that we made room in the schedule. We’ve even watched YouTube videos reviewing the menu items! The Menu Luckily for…
