    Ohana means Family- Remembering the Magic of the Polynesian Resort

    May 23, 2020 /

    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. By clicking on them and/or making a purchase, I may make a small commission at no extra cost to you. While the Ohana restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, we have only dined there for dinner. It is served family style (of course) and there are 10 different menu items…

    Simple Beauty and the Beast Dinner Menu & Decor Ideas

    May 22, 2020 /

    In Disney World you can visit the Beast’s castle (of Beauty and the Beast fame) by eating at Be Our Guest restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. That’s just what we did for our sixth evening of our Disney staycation. Below I’ve captured our semi-homemade meal and table decor for a fun family theme dinner!

    Taquitos in Epcot

    May 21, 2020 /

    Originally posted Spring 2020 *Post may contain affiliate links TLDR: Easy taquito recipe inspired by the Mexico pavilion at Disney’s Epcot. 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 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 in month two of quarantine and…

    Make Mickey Mouse Rice Krispie Treats at Home!

    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. Our homeschooling lessons are also inspired by Disney! For the sake of readability and organization I am going to do a separate post on all of our Disney homeschooling activities. 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

    May 17, 2020 /

    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…

    Originally posted Spring 2020 Embracing the situation and figuring out how to enjoy Disney World from home. The Coronavirus, Covid-19, will define the year 2020. It has brought with it death, destruction and disappointment. We are so very lucky at my house to be safe & able to work from home. However the multitude of things we are missing out on is getting hard to explain to the kids. First dance competitions, basketball playoffs, 5th grade graduation, time with family, birthday parties, weddings… and perhaps the worst for the kids, we are missing out on a Disney trip. This trip has been in the making for a year and a…
