Crafty Date Night at Pinspiration South Orlando

April 15, 2022

We are always looking for creative ideas for date night ideas, so when Pinspiration South Orlando invited us to a special event to try some crafts and a revamped menu it sounded like a great excuse for a fun night out. While Julie is naturally artsy, Andrew is not so much and was curious what the evening would entail. We soon learned this was a great spot for creatives of all levels and we had a great evening trying three different activities and a variety of menu items. Read on to learn about our crafty date night…

At the very top of the Contemporary Resort you will find an award-winning restaurant that is arguably one of the most sought after dining reservations on Walt Disney World Property — The California Grill. This signature dining restaurant offers Pacific Coast inspired fine dining and unbeatable views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and the Magic Kingdom. We have been lucky enough to dine in this establishment a few times over the years, and it has always been a special occasion for us.

Setting Sail on a Disney Specialty Cruise with a Private Fireworks View

July 6, 2020

With the July 4th fireworks at Walt Disney World canceled this year, we figured it was the perfect time to reminisce about a special fireworks experience we had last fall. We are always amazed at the amount of special activities and tours available at Disney and booking a private specialty fireworks cruise was one awesome time. Technically our friends Max and Niki had booked the experience for their honeymoon, but they let us crash the party and come along (how nice are they right?). One night last fall our group of four enjoyed some drinks at the Top of the World then set sail on our private pontoon. Read on to hear all about our enchanted evening sailing.
