For what feels like years, I’ve watched the old Starbucks in Avalon Park be transformed into a new doughnut shop called Donuts & Me. When I say it’s felt like years, I do mean that. It’s probably been at least a year since the branding on the outside of the store was added until it opened. With Covid-19 hitting just after it’s grand opening, I hadn’t been able to check it out…until now! I’m happy to report that it is finally re-open. Here’s all you need to know about Avalon Parks one and only craft doughnut shop. Donuts & Me Craft Doughnuts I was worried when I saw a few…

Zara Mickey Mouse Shorts at Disney World Re-Opening
Disney World is finally open again and I finally got to go to the parks this weekend! I managed to snap a reservation for my sisters birthday at Epcot. As excited as I was to go back, I’m overall extremely disappointed with the annual pass situation. Besides the fact that they charged me over $300 at the beginning of the month, they’ve fallen short in many other areas for passholders. One of those areas is how limited the access is for passholders. I do understand that as a passholder I am not their major money maker. However, I am their consistent money maker. But this post is not a roast…

Disney Designer Clothing Collaborations
This week has been sad for many Disney fans. Dapper day was supposed to be this week but due to corona…it’s clearly not happening. Kudos to those die hard dapper day fans who are still taking the opportunity to dress up at home. Once Disney World closed in March, I decided to play it by ear and didn’t even bother putting together a dapper outfit. So instead of focusing on Disney dapper outfits I wanted to look into Disney Designer collaborations. Not that I’ll ever be able to afford any of it, but I sure love looking at it all. Disney Designer #1 – Gucci Unpopular opinion here but, I’m…

Epcot’s 2020 Flower & Garden Festival
Sadly my favorite Epcot festival has ended and it’s on to the next one. While the Festival of the Arts is always my favorite, the Flower & Garden Festival is a close second. Very appropriate as it piggybacks on the festival of the arts. The 2020 Flower & Garden Festival brings with it new merchandise, topiaries, and food items that I have to share with all you Disney lovers out there! Not to mention, the Plain White T’s are coming back and that’s pretty awesome. The festival runs from today (March 4th) until June 1st. 2020 Flower & Garden Festival Food We all know festival food is the best food…

I’m here to break it down for you so you can cover as much ground as possible on your Disney spring break. The Breakdown of a Disney Spring Break Like I said…

Best Spring Break Locations in Florida
Every year of my college career I went to Florida for Spring Break. This isn’t really saying much because my family lived in Florida, but it was great to bring my friends a long every year for the trip. While I would certainly say I know Orlando better than most other places in Florida, that doesn’t mean I don’t know some other killer spring break locations in Florida. Today I’m sharing just a few places inside the sunshine state that make awesome spring break getaways. Top Spring Break Locations in Florida South Beach, Florida Probably one of the most famous and most popular spring break location in Florida. South Beach…

Galentines Day Brunch Locations in Orlando
One of my favorite things to do is grabbing brunch with my girls. It doesn’t matter the day or the occasion, I love doing it. It feels so classy and “adult like”. Even if I may not be “living my best life”, in that moment, at that brunch date, I feel like I am. This is why a Galentines Day brunch is so fitting. Instead of a galentine’s gift you can take your girls out to brunch. So today I’m sharing some of my favorite brunch locations in and around Orlando for you to check out with your girls not just in February, but anytime of the year. My Favorite…

International Festival of the Arts 2020 at Epcot
My favorite festival of the year has arrived at Epcot, the International Festival of the Arts 2020! This festival is unique in so many ways (as every festival is at Epcot). As the name tells, this festival focuses on the Arts in every form. From music and paintings, to masterful food creation, this festival has something for everyone. The International Festival of the Arts runs from January 17 – February 24. Not quite as short as the Festival of the Holidays, but definitely one of the shorter festivals Epcot hosts. Highlights of the International Festival of the Arts 2020 I remember the first time I attended this festival. I had…

runDisney Experience at Walt Disney World
I’ve ran my fair share of runDisney races throughout the past few years. While I would not consider myself an “elite” runner, I would say that I take running very seriously. Which means when it comes to races, I’m not focusing on the experience but on my time, form, and resources. However, runDisney races are so different from any other sports event I’ve participated in. Also, this year I had to walk the last 8 miles of my marathon which is really how a majority of participants do runDisney events. Because of this 8 mile limp through the end of the course I got an inside look at why the…

Lake Eola Christmas Tree Lighting
Are you in the holiday spirit yet?! Shopping is in full swing, decorations are strewn across the country (and probably your house) and it’s time to hunt down the perfect Christmas tree! One of my favorite things to see during the holiday season are all the Christmas tree lightings around Orlando. My favorite being the Lake Eola Christmas Tree Lighting. Lake Eola holds a special place in my heart, especially during Christmas time. A few years ago I met my boyfriend around Thanksgiving. I wasn’t looking to be with anyone. In fact, I continually denied his request to date. I refused to let myself even acknowledge that I had any…
