     I didn’t get a ton of great shots during the Mommy Blogger Disney weekend but I thought you might enjoy some of the fun photo highlights I did manage to snap.

     This is the Dessert Sampler we indulged in at Tutto Italia.  That, mind you, was brought to us minutes before we left the restaurant and headed to a huge spread of decadent options at the dessert reception and Illuminations viewing.  I haven’t stepped on the scale yet since I arrived home.  Yeah, um, maybe I’ll give it a couple more days…

     These are some of the contents of the gift bag I found in my room upon return from Epcot on the first night.  Isn’t that the cutest travel mug you’ve ever seen?!  I don’t know if you can tell but that is a mirror on it framed with sparkly little jewels that befit any coffee (or tea in my case) drinking princess.  We also received a La Nouba CD, a disposable camera, a portable computer storage thingamabob (pardon my technical terms), a pair of Mickey Mom ears and a luggage tag.     

Here I am snapping a silly photo of myself in the mirror just before heading out the door on the way to dinner at California Grill. 

     Snazzy ride huh?  Yeah.  We were impressed when we exited the lobby of the Beach Club and what did our wondering eyes did appear but three stretch limos driven by Mears.

     This was taken from the observation deck at the California Grill.  We had a DE-LIC-IOUS meal there.  I’d never been to this restaurant before so you’ll imagine how impressed I was when the server brought out sorbet in between courses to cleanse the palate.  Our delicious meal was followed up by a to-die-for dessert consisting of blood orange sorbet and chocolate lava cake.  Oh my.  I’m not typically a fan of chocolate cakes or brownies, but you haven’t lived until you’ve tried this cake and sorbet in unison. 

     Breakfast on our final morning was served buffet style at Cape May.  We enjoyed visits from Minnie, Goofy, and Chip & Dale who were all chillin’ in their beach attire.  My favorite offering was the Mickey waffles smothered in a berry compote.  Yum-O!

 

     After a quick tour of the new Family Suites at the All Stars Music resort we went our separate ways to enjoy a few free hours of touring at our leisure.  Having promised souvenirs to the kiddos I headed to Downtown Disney on a mission!  My girls are avid pin traders and they’re always looking to expand their collections and I, of course, am happy to help make their Disney dreams come true.  One of their other favorite things at Downtown Disney are the custom made treats available at Goofy’s Candy Co.  Since they couldn’t come along to order their own I was happy to bring them these candy covered pretzel rods home.  Steph and I also stopped by the very best counter service restaurant on property – the newly expanded Wolfgang Puck Express.  I was happy to see the same tempting menu and a much improved dining area.  Can’t wait to stop back by in September with the fam!

     So there ya have it.  Just a few fun pics I thought I’d share to give you a glimpse of my fabulous weekend at Disney.  I keep telling Jeff that if I’m not careful I’m going to get spoiled by all this first class treatment at Disney and not be able to go back as an average Jane. 

     Yeah right.  Not be able to go back.  That’s a good one.
