Rose & Crown Epcot Fireworks Dining Package: Our Luminous View & Review!

September 16, 2019

Andrew is a little sad this month as his favorite nighttime show “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” will be taking it’s final bow. After nearly 20 years of lighting up the skies over the World Showcase in Epcot, September 30th marks the last night to see this spectacular. When we heard there was a special dining package available at the Rose & Crown Pub in England we knew we had to check it out. With lakeside seats we figured this would be a nice splurge for Andrew, so he could get one last great view of the show. Read on to hear all about this dining package that we think is perfect for adults, and that will continue to be available even after Illuminations is retired. (This article is also a part of the Disney Friends Blog Hop. The theme for this month is “Disney Splurges” so make sure to check out the bottom of this article to see more great articles on this topic!)

Wine Country Brunch at Wine Bar George: Disney Springs' Best Weekend Retreat?

September 12, 2019

On our recent visit to Walt Disney World we were extended a gracious invitation to dine at Wine Bar George, the only Master Sommelier-led wine bar in Florida, which happens to be located in Disney Springs. This new-ish dining location opened earlier this spring and we were very excited to finally go check it out. We stopped by for a late Sunday afternoon lunch to try some drinks, share some plates, and decide if this is a must visit location for foodie Disney loving adults.

Should you make sure to pack a Paris Pass on an upcoming trip?

Is the Paris Pass Worth It for Your First Trip to Paris? Our Detailed Review!

September 3, 2019

Our recent trip to Paris also happened to be our first. We knew there was a ton to see, and while the reality is we couldn’t see it all, we certainly wanted to see as much as we could. While researching different attractions and planning our itinerary we came across ads for something called the Paris Pass. This pre-paid option promised discounts and ease during our trip. We ran some numbers and decided to purchase the pass for our visit. Here is a full review that may help you decide if the Paris Pass is worth purchasing for your trip.
