Today was our first port day!  We sailed into Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.  There were plenty of excursions to book, but I opted to just explore the port area as I had read it had a nice pool and lazy river and plenty of bars and restaurants. 

Come see how celebrate Week 5 of 2025.

It’s time to reveal what cocktails and mocktail I created to pair with Pinocchio.  For those that are new here, I create food and beverages for Disney animated movies and I’m going through them in chronological order.

The next morning, I woke up and decided to check out “The Galley”, I was surprised at how many options there were for breakfast.  I was on a mission though, I had seen that they offer customized omelets and since I'm anti-cheese, I love it when I can get a cheese-less omelet!  

Pinocchio is next in my chronological list of Disney animated features which was released in 1940.

Here are 10 Fun Facts about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Catch up on how I’ve celebrated Week 4 of 2025.

I thought I would attempt to make a playlist for each month that goes with the movie.  Most times it'll probably be just a combination of the music from the soundtrack as well as any covers that I can dig up.

I thought it would be fun to do a series of blogs that explore where a fan of a certain movie may want to travel.  This could get challenging for me as the movies go on, so be sure to come back each time I switch movies to see what I come up with!

Check out how I celebrated Week 3 of the year.

I had never been on another cruise line other than Disney Cruise Line prior to this trip, so I really had no idea of what to expect. I knew that everyone that I had talked to that had been onboard had tons of fun, so I expected to have a good time.

What is Disneybounding?  For those that are unaware, Disneybounding is the act of dressing in an outfit that represents a Disney character without wearing a true costume, but regular clothes. 

Updated as of 12/26/24 (Offerings are always subject to change and I will do my best to keep this updated as I notice changes or additions, but as I add more movies to look for it will be harder for me to keep up with!  Feel free to send me a message if you see something!)

Each month while I focus on a movie, I will make a meal that is inspired by it.  I will say my cooking skill level is novice and I am terrified of experimenting with cooking unlike with mocktails and cocktails where I have a lot more confidence.  So, while I’m putting together these movie night menus, I will mostly be utilizing recipes I find online, and I will always link to it so you can see the original source.

When Brightline finally opened a route from Orlando to Miami, I couldn't wait to try it out.  Not only do I love different modes of transportation, but I am fascinated by train travel.

In short, I’m SO glad I did.  I’ll go into much greater detail below, but this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time at Walt Disney World.  Read on for details!

January 1 - January 7, 2025 - Celebrating Every Day

In case you missed this in my introduction post, my goal is to create a cocktail AND a mocktail for each Disney Animated Classic Movie and I'm going in chronological order.  For Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, I made Snow White Sangria, 7 Dwarf Shots, and Gooseberry Punch.
