Hi and welcome back to my blog! Today I’ll be sharing with you what we’ve tried so far at Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival this year. The Food & Wine Festival is one of my favorite times of the year to be at Epcot, and this year is even better for me since I get to be part of it by working at Epcot Guest Relations during the festival! I wrote a post about it last year as well and I’m excited to show some of the new things (and old favorites) we’ve tried in 2017. Something I am OBSESSED…

Epcot Flower & Garden Festival 2017
One of the things I love the most about Epcot is the amazing festivals that happen all year long. I wrote about Food & Wine a few months ago and Holidays Around the World after that, and now that it’s spring we have the Flower & Garden Festival!! I absolutely love Flower & Garden because Epcot looks SO beautiful in full bloom!! There’s flowers everywhere and it just makes the park look so springy and lovely. In the Food & Wine post linked up there I wrote about some of my tips for experiencing the food of the festival. They also…

Friday Favorites #14 – 4/28
Welcome to this week’s Friday Favorites! I had a great birthday week full of lots of celebrating 🙂 Like I mentioned briefly in last week’s favorites post, I’ve actually decided to start doing Favorites monthly rather than weekly. This is because I feel like I find myself more and more often scrambling to put things into the posts…a lot of things make me happy every week, but it’s more often than not the same things over and over haha. So this will be the last “Friday” Favorites but I’ll still do one at the end of each month with all my…

Friday Favorites #14 – 4/21
Wow, as I wrote the date in the title of this post I literally had to pause and make sure it was correct. I cannot BELIEVE it is already April 21…which means it’s also almost my birthday!! I don’t have any super fun plans on my actual birthday this year because I have to work, but we have some other things planned for our next day off to celebrate. And last year I was in Disneyland on my birthday, so…there’s no way I’m gonna top that so might as well not bother trying haha Also, a very happy birthday to…

Work Update: First Days in Guest Relations
It’s been a bit since I wrote about how I got to my current job working at Epcot Guest Relations, so I figured I’d write a little update post about how things are going! Before I could jump right in to Guest Relations, I had a LOT of training to get through. The first week was all spent at Disney University learning the basics of GR. We learned about the core values and ideas of Guest Relations and the legacy behind it. The role originated with Walt himself of course, and it was cool to learn about all the history there…

The Road to Guest Relations
This is going to be one of my long and introspective posts – you’ve been warned – because I’ve had a pretty big development recently!! If you haven’t already heard the news, I am now training to work in Guest Relations at my favorite park – Epcot!! This is a journey that’s been a very long time coming…I actually originally wrote a post about this MONTHS ago but didn’t put it up, because it didn’t feel like the right time. Now seems like the right time 🙂 My journey to Guest Relations is something that I’ve mostly kept quiet about for the past few…

Friday Favorites #10 – 3/24
Happy Friday and welcome to this week’s Friday favorites! I am finding as I write these posts that (at least to me) it is kind of making it obvious how boring my life is haha because I kind of have to reach sometimes to find 4-6 things that I liked that week. But it’s making me appreciate the little things I guess, so…¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Clothes Shopping…on Amazon I don’t know why I don’t buy more of my clothes on Amazon, because I buy literally everything else there. Amazon Prime is a gift from God. Recently I was looking for some cheaper options…

Top 5: WDW Restaurants I Want to Try
I’ve lived in Orlando for a few years now, and I’ve gotten to try a LOT of Disney restaurants as a result. However, with all the new and exciting things happening in Walt Disney World, there’s also a lot of places I haven’t tried! My goal is to go to every Disney restaurant eventually (we even have a spreadsheet tracking our progress….) but here are a few of my top picks for where I’d like to go next! Top 5: Walt Disney World Restaurants I Want to Try Victoria & Albert’s Located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa $$$$$ Serves a super…

How to Visit All 4 WDW Parks in 1 Day
Conquering all four Walt Disney World parks in the same day seems to be a pretty popular goal for people who visit. Having lived here for a few years now, I’ve accomplished it a few times and it is NOT as hard as one may think!! Doing all 4 parks in one day is practically old hat for us now, but there is definitely a right way and a wrong way to do it, imo…and I’m about to tell you the RIGHT way!! 🙂 The most recent time I did all 4 parks in 1 day was when our friend Brandon came…
