WE ARE SAILING, SAILING AWAY! 🚢 My mother and I

May the 4th be with you. ✨ I FINALLY can say tha

May the 4th be with you. ✨ I FINALLY can say that and not be a fraud as I’ve officially finished the Skywalker Saga. I fully understand the hype now, and if you’ve been thinking about watching them, this is your sign.

Recommended Viewing Order for those looking to watch Star Wars
✨4,5,1,2,3,6,7-9, as suggested by my friend David for “maximum viewing pleasure” and I fully agree!
After you watch the original saga, fill it in with the other movies like Rogue One and Solo!

Catch me in the parks making a lightsaber and crying when I meet Chewie! But I’m curious, who is your favorite character?

Keep an eye out for my Star Wars Reels today as I break down the best food and drink in the Galaxy!

Happy National Pretzel Day! 🥨 Let’s talk the

Happy National Pretzel Day! 🥨 Let’s talk the ‘Top 3 pretzels in Disney World’. Sorry Mickey Pretzels, but you don’t even make this list.

Air Pirate's Cargo Loaded Pretzel. ✨ Yes, this is the best pretzel in Disney World, and that is simply not up for debate. ⁠
⁠⁠
✨ This one is essentially a pretzel and a charcuterie board in one, which honestly is a combo I did know we needed until I had it for the first time. The pretzel is outstanding and topped with sesame seeds, it comes with both mustard and beer cheese, but y'all, let's talk the charcuterie part. They don't skimp on the meats or cheeses, and they are delicious. Also, the pickles, THE PICKLES are phenomenal, I feel like I am a pickle snob, and I loved them! ⁠
➡️ Prosciutto, Sliced Brats, Artisan Pepperoni, Smoked Cheddar, Black Diamond Cheddar, Caraway Pickles, Spicy Mustard, and Beer Cheese Fondue⁠
📍Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar in Disney Springs⁠
💵 $22.00⁠
⭐ 11/10⁠

Bavarian Pretzel.

✨Did you know that the pretzel at Baseline, Pongu Pongu in Pandora, and the Germany Pavilion are the exact same? For the record it’s .39 cents cheaper at Baseline and comes with beer-cheese fondue, so it is winning this competition for me. 🌈 ⭐️ The more you know.
📍Baseline Taphouse in Hollywood Studios
💵 $9.00⁠
⭐ 9.5/10⁠

Cheddar-Jalapeño Pretzel.

✨The jalapeño in this one will sneak up on you, but it’s so good. Just the right amount of delicious creamy cheese!
📍Last seen at Pretzel Palooza, right outside of Rockin’ Rollercoaster. You can also find similar versions at Cheshire Cafe in Magic Kingdom, and the Margarita Stand at the Boardwalk.
⭐️ 8/10, up the game by picking up a cup of the ranch from the condiment cart at Fairfax Fare.
💵 $7.25

WE ARE SAILING, SAILING AWAY. 🛳 27 days… That

Oga’s Cantina Must Orders. 🌌 In a galaxy far

Oga’s Cantina Must Orders. 🌌 In a galaxy far far away, there are so many different options of cocktails to try, here are my top 3 favorites, and the ones I always order visit after visit.

✨ The Outer Rim. Oga’s take on a margarita, everything in the drink just works, the pomegranate makes it slightly tart, but the exotic fruit puree balances it out. If you love a margarita, order this.
➡️Patrón Silver Tequila, Stirrings Pomegranate Liqueur, Lime Juice, Pure Cane Sugar, with Black Salt and Exotic Fruit Purée
💵$18.00
⭐️10/10

✨Fuzzy Tauntaun. This is the most well know drink at Oga’s, and if you are human it will make your mouth go numb. The foam on the top is made from Buzz Buttons, which give numbing tingling feelings. Don’t be alarmed it fades quick, just don’t inhale it. The drink itself is nice and fruity and just like a fuzzy navel.
➡️Cîroc Peach Vodka, Bols Peach Schnapps, Simply® Orange with Tangerine, Pure Cane Sugar, and "Buzz Button Tingling" Foam
💵$17.00
⭐️14/10

✨Jet Juice. This one is essentially a big shot, however, the flavors work perfectly together, there is a little bit of a kick with the Chile liqueur, but it is always a good choice. And if a giant shot intimidates you, order with a cup of ice and make it into a cocktail.
➡️Maker's Mark Bourbon, Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur, Stirrings Pomegranate Liqueur, White Grape Juice, and Lemon Juice
💵$16.00
⭐️9.5/10

What is your must-order drink at Oga’s Cantina?

Also my top tips:
✨Book this reservation late at night so you can get great photos of an empty Galaxy’s Edge.
✨It is a bar, this place really offers nothing more than cocktails so keep that in mind.
✨Most of the bar is standing room only and you will be sharing tables with others.
✨If you can't get a reservation, always try @touringplans reservation finder, or check the walk-up availability when you are in the park!

Wilderness Back Trail Adventure. 🏕️ Because y

Wilderness Back Trail Adventure. 🏕️ Because yes, you can ride a Segway around Disney World at Fort Wilderness. ⁠
⁠
Look, I already know I am the most uncoordinated human, and for the past year, I have successfully dodged going on this tour. That is until @touringplans "strongly suggested" (I was told I can't say "forced") that I take this tour. But I will say, spoiler alert, I loved it. ⁠#touringplanspartner
⁠
This 2-hour tour will teach you everything you need to know about riding a Segway, so it is perfect for beginners. On this tour, you start with a safety course, where you will learn about the Segway before heading to the parking lot to practice. ⁠
⁠
After you are comfortable with your Segway, it is time to head around the campgrounds. Your tour guide will keep you entertained with Disney Trivia, and some facts about Fort Wilderness (which at times seemed like a sales pitch, but that is my only complaint). All of which will be broadcast into a little speaker device that goes on your ear. ⁠
⁠
On the tour, we got to stop in front of Bay Lake, with a great view of the Castle, Space Mountain, and Tron. You also stop by the horse barn and take a little walking break, you can look at the horses as well as Dragon Calliope. Overall, this tour was so much fun and a nice break from the normal pace of heading to the parks early each morning. ⁠
⁠
✨Wilderness Back Trail Adventure⁠
📍The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort⁠
💵$90 per Person⁠
➡️ 16 years of age or older⁠
🚗 I will say getting to the bike barn isn’t super easy, as you must take the internal bus system from the parking lot. So give yourself plenty of travel time to get there! ⁠
🗓 You can book this on the Disney website!
⁠
If you wonder if this tour is good for people of all ages, simply scroll to the photo of my father and me. I honestly don’t know the last time I’ve seen that man that happy. ⁠
⁠
10/10 would recommend if you are headed back to Disney World and looking for a completely different experience.
⁠
PS. Our tour guides were excellent. Also, you don't need knee and elbow pads, I was told in the 12 years of him doing this tour, I am the only person to ever wear them.

Pterodactyl Punch. 🦕 This is the secret drink m

Pterodactyl Punch. 🦕 This is the secret drink menu you need to know about in Animal Kingdom. Hidden right on the path to Dinosaur is one of my favorite spots, Restaurantosaurus Lounge, and they have a secret Passholder menu. ⁠
⁠
The secret to the menu, just ask, they will pull it out for you. But be cautioned, most of the drinks on this menu are extremely strong, don’t say I didn’t warn you.⁠
⁠
Pterodactyl Punch. This one is light and fruity while still packing a punch, it is refreshing and perfect for a hot day in Animal Kingdom.⁠
➡️ Parrot Bay, Blue Curaçao, Pineapple Juice, Sour Mix, and a floater of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum⁠
📍Restaurantosaurus Lounge⁠
💵 $12.00⁠
⭐️ 9/10
⁠
There are three alcoholic cocktails on this menu, and one mocktail, so there is a little something for everyone. ⁠
⁠
PS. I have never been asked for my pass, so take that for what it is.

🚨NEW SNACK ALERT🚨 Pretzel Bread Pudding. 🥨 Okay, we all know I am a savory person, but when I saw this pop up in Epcot I had to give it a go because I consider pretzels their own food group. ⁠
⁠
At under 5 bucks, add this one to your list. The cake itself is dense and packs a lot of flavor, it is drizzled with both caramel butterscotch and a glaze (and the icing alone is giving me Gaston’s Cinnamon Roll vibes), and is the perfect sweet x savory crossover in Epcot. ⁠
While the pretzel flavor is not too dominating of a flavor, you can taste the hints of pretzel by the salt in the cake, but it is not overpowering. It is dense and delicious.
📍Sommerfest in the Germany Pavilion in Epcot⁠
💵 $4.79⁠
⭐️ 9/10
⁠
Would you try this one? I suggest placing a mobile order and picking it up when Somerfest opens at noon!

Hey now, hey now, this is what Disney dreams are m

Hey now, hey now, this is what Disney dreams are made of.

This is your sign to get the tomahawk steak at California Grill and have a photo shoot with the bone on the outdoor observation deck, I promise you won’t regret it.

I’m in Disney World for a few more days so be sure to follow along in my stories.

Island Sunrise. 🍉 Any form of tequila with POG

Island Sunrise. 🍉 Any form of tequila with POG juice is a good drink in my book. This one is slightly different as it features pineapple instead of passion fruit, but it’s still delicious.

➡️ Jose Cuervo Tequila with Pineapple-Orange-Guava Juice and a hint of Watermelon.
📍The Smiling Crocodile in Animal Kingdom. It’s on Discovery Island if you head towards the Asia entrance.
💵 $13.00
🍉 Also, give it a good stir to combine the tequila and watermelon syrup.

Just note hours here are limited, it’s 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily.

Thanks to @millennialsonmainst for finding this one.

Battle of the Steak and Eggs. 🍳 I will admit I

Battle of the Steak and Eggs. 🍳 I will admit I am not a big breakfast person, which is why I probably gravitate towards steak and eggs for breakfast. Recently I tried them at two places Steakhouse 71 (a STEAKHOUSE) and Trattoria al Forno (not a steakhouse), and I figured let’s have them battle. 
First up, Trattoria al Forno.
📍Boardwalk Resort
🥩 Oak-grilled Steak and Eggs
➡️Sunny-Side Up Eggs, Breakfast Potatoes, Crispy Onions and Hollandaise Sauce
💵 $21.00
PROS
✨Holy presentation, this one is beautiful. It was a large steak on top of potatoes, onions, and peppers, topped with an egg cooked to perfection, and piled high with crispy onions.
✨ Let's talk flavor, every aspect of the dish worked so well together the hollandaise sauce was perfect and complimented the steak nicely.
✨This is large enough to share, so at $21 this is a large hardy breakfast.
CONS
🚫The steak was slightly overcooked, we ordered it medium and it was more medium-well and bordering on well done.
Also, not a con but it should be noted this use to be a character breakfast and that is currently suspended.  
Next, let’s head to Steakhouse 71.
📍Contemporary Resort
🥩 Steak and Eggs
➡️Two-Eggs Any-Style, Breakfast Potatoes, 4-oz Filet Mignon with Béarnaise Sauce
💵 $21.00
PROS
✨It is a fine cut of steak, the portion size is small, but the steak is good quality and was cooked perfectly.
✨Perfection, that is the only way to describe the potatoes that came with this dish, crispy out on the outside and tender on the inside.
CONS
🚫Yes, the steak is good, but the portion is small.
🚫This plate looks like an afterthought because nothing about this makes me excited for breakfast.
🚫Where is the flavor? If you love just the basics, this one is for you, but if you want any complexity in your food, this will leave you wanting more. 
So who is the winner? Hands down Trattoria al Forno, the flavor is there, you get a good bang for your buck. It is weird to declare a non-steakhouse the winner of this battle, but where we are!

A galaxy far far away within our galaxy. 🌌 Clos

A galaxy far far away within our galaxy. 🌌 Closing out Batuu is magical, and I was able to snag this photo thanks to an after-hours Oga's Cantina reservation.

How? Let me tell you.
💫 Make Your Reservation for after the park closes. With places like Oga’s reservations are often available after the park closes. For example, my reservation at Oga’s was at 9:30 even though the park closed at 9. Just search for later times when making your reservations.
💫 Enjoy Your Reservation. We never felt rushed at Oga’s (however there is a time limit) but the Cast Members were wonderful and never felt like they were pushing us out the door.

But here are some things you shouldn’t forget:
✨ Be Respectful. Yes, you can get those photos on your way out, but be respectful and listen to Cast Members if they are guiding you to the exit.
✨ Park Hours Change. Even though you might make the reservation when the park is scheduled to be closed, park hours often change and but your reservation won’t, which means it might end up being during park hours.
✨ Getting Back to Your Resort. Remember that buses and other Disney transportation stops running an hour after park close, it is important to note so that you aren’t stuck calling an Uber.

This is such an awesome opportunity to get those great photos, just don’t abuse the privilege!

We are dishing in all things Flower and Garden on

The BEST of Flower and Garden. ✨ We came, we ate

The BEST of Flower and Garden. ✨ We came, we ate, we drink, we conquered. There were some great dishes and drinks at Flower and Garden and a few misses. Here are some of my favorites:

Taco Vampiro (or Taco Vamprina if you were on the live). Barbacoa beef in a corn tortilla with crispy grilled Monterey jack cheese, salsa ranchera, and esquites
➡️ This one is in my top three, yes, it is ridiculously tiny for the price, but Mexico is a third part location so that explains it. However, the taco itself was phenomenal. The Barbacoa was tender and juicy, and the crispy grilled cheese was amazing. They cover the outside of the taco with cheese and crisp it to perfection.
📍Jardin de Fiestas - Mexico
💵 $8.00

Boneless Impossible Korean Short Rib with cilantro-lime rice, Danmuji slaw, and Kimchee Mayonnaise
➡️ This was a clear favorite for me last year and it came back strong. The impossible meat is beyond flavored, which is amazing in a meatless dish.
📍Trowel & Trellis - Near Mexico
💵 $8.00

Potato Pancakes with house-made applesauce
➡️ Do not skip the Germany booth, I repeat, do not skip the Germany booth. The pancake was crisp and a perfect thickness and the apple sauce was plentiful and amazing.
📍Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market - Germany
💵 $4.75

Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites with cream cheese frosting and candied bacon
➡️ I am not a sweets person but I loved these. The rolls were donut like, warm, and filled with an incredible cream.
📍EPCOT Sunshine Griddle - Near Test Track
💵 $4.75

Bayou Cocktail: Spiced rum, coconut rum, fruit punch, and Minute Maid orange juice
➡️ Everything about this drink worked so well together. While none of the food here was a huge stand-out for me, this drink shined. Plus, my mother would say, “that’s not bad”.
📍Magnolia Terrace - American Adventure
💵 $12.00

Twinings Energizing Matcha Cranberry & Lime Green Tea with lime vodka
➡️ Light, refreshing, and perfect. None of the flavors in this are strong or overpowering, it’s a light cocktail that also comes in a mason jar.
📍Trowel & Trellis - Near Mexico
💵 $11.00

Banana Cabana at Caribbean Beach Resort. 🌊 Some

Banana Cabana at Caribbean Beach Resort. 🌊 Some resort bars fly under the radar and they deserve a little more love, Banana Cabana is one of those bars.

Everything about this bar is amazing, the views are great, it is open air and looks out on the water. The drink menu is great, but it really is an excellent option to grab some bites.

Here are my favorites:

🍟 Loaded Fries
There is something about Disney fries that just hit different. But these are a real stand out, nothing like the chili you get in the parks, these have a more complex flavor and were my favorite!
➡️ Cotija and fresh Pico de Gallo with Caribbean-style Chili
💵 $12.00

🧀 Chile Con Queso
Look, I will always order the cheese dip each and every time, this one was great, I like the pimento cheese, and they will keep refilling your chip basket.
➡️ Caribbean-style Chili, Pimento Cheese, Pico de Gallo, and Fried Tortillas
💵 $12.00
