Gift Guide: 1st Disney Trip

11/24/2021

0 Comments

 
There's nothing like your first trip to Disney! Every kid (or kid at heart!) will love each of these gifts to kick off their first Disney trip!
Picture
Disney Luggage
Good luggage is essential to any Disney trip. This American Tourister luggage is a long-time favorite, and it comes in a huge variety of patterns! This luggage is high quality, long-lasting, and a must-have for any Disney fan!

Kids Luggage
American Tourister doesn't just make full-size luggage, it also makes fantastic kid-sized carry-on luggage, too! The kids luggage comes in all of their favorite characters, so there are plenty of options to choose from!

Kids Water Bottle
One of my biggest travel tips is to stay hydrated! For the adults, I always recommend carrying this water bottle strap. It fits around your water bottle to help  remind you to sip throughout the day. However, if it's your kiddo's first trip, help them stay hydrated with this water bottle designed just for kids!

Disney Backpack
This one is perfect for every momma in the parks! The stylish, sleek design is a home run, and with subtle Disney touches, it's perfect. I've rounded up some other great bags here and have a complete park bag packing checklist here. Make sure you check both of these posts before you head to the parks!

Disney Planning Binder
Keep everything organized for the perfect first trip with this Disney Planning Binder from Etsy. Keep everything from dining to budgeting to packing organized! 

Give the Gift of a Perfect Trip
Why not give the gift of a Disney vacation? As a Disney destination specialist, I can take care  of all plans from beginning to end for a seamless, perfect trip! Contact me to get more information or to become a concierge-level client.

Toast the Happy Couple
These Cinderella Champagne Flutes are the perfect gift for a new couple. Classy and elegant with a tasteful touch of Disney. These would be great to use at a reception, too!

Bride and Groom Ears
Is it even a Disney honeymoon without ears? These adorable bride and groom ears are essential for any honeymoon at Disney.

Disney-Inspired Scrapbook
The Disney honeymooners in your life can have their very own Adventure Book, just like Carl and Ellie in Up! This is the perfect memento for every couple to have to commemorate their new life together.

Disney-Inspired Luggage
Disney luggage is essential for any Disney getaway. Plus, luggage makes an incredible wedding gift! This American Tourister luggage will last for years and years, plus has tons of Disney prints available to choose from!

Printable Travel Binder
Help them keep their Disney plans organized with this printable travel planner from Etsy. An organized trip is a happy trip!

"Elbows Off the Table!" 50's Prime Time Cafe Review

11/16/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Prepare to be transported back to mom's kitchen! (Or grandma's, depending on your age.) We dined at 50's Prime Time Cafe on our most recent trip, and I'm here to break it all down for you!
Picture
Our TV table at 50's Prime Time Cafe.
The Atmosphere
When you arrive, you'll notice that there's a waiting area that looks just like a living room, complete with couches and a retro TV! There's also the Tune In Lounge, which is a  bar full of adult selections! If you can find seating (good luck!) you can also order from the full 50's Prime Time Cafe menu. If you're part of an adults-only party, I strongly recommend being seated in the restaurant. The experience is the big draw for this place, and the restaurant is where the real magic happens! 

The atmosphere in this restaurant can't be beat. We were lucky enough to be seated at a TV table for the full experience. Our "cousin" (server) told us that we were allowed to watch a little TV since we'd been good. She handed us a basket of utensils and told us our chore was to set the table ourselves.

The staff here stays in character the entire time. Our cousin played it up with us, since we enjoyed having the full experience. Most other tables around us were really into it, too and played along with the cast members. However, I did notice one table nearby that didn't seem to be as into the theming. Cast Members will follow suit and will let those tables eat their meals without "playing along".
Picture
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Don't forget to finish your vegetables!
The Food
All of your comfort food favorites are here! Whether you're craving pot roast, fried chicken, or the famous meatloaf, this restaurant has it all. We both opted for the meatloaf, which is served with green beans and the most heavenly mashed potatoes. The onion rings and peanut and jelly milkshake are both amazing, too. They also have a great dessert selection, but I've always been so full after my meal that I haven't tried any of them for myself! Adults can also order something from Dad's Liquor Cabinet!
Overall Impressions
We loved our meal at 50's Prime Time Cafe. We love to eat on our Disney trips, and this definitely checked all of the boxes for us. Is it right for your family?

This is a must-dine if:
  • You love classic comfort foods
  • You have at least 1 hour to spare at Hollywood Studios
  • You love a themed dining experience

​You may want to pass, please if:
  • You're looking for a fine dining experience
  • You're only at Hollywood Studios for 1  day
