Disney's Via Napoli review w/ Pics...



You can find Via Napoli in the back of the Italian Pavilion at Epcot. This was my very first time dining here. I was told I had to try the Quattro formmagi. We had a 4pm reservation & arrived 15 minutes early & were told to wait in the front area. I was caught off guard on how drop dead georgeous  the guy checking in people at the stand was! I can say that almost every staff member here who is male is VERY attractive. :) We waited about 7-10 minutes before we were seated in the back room on the right side. It was pretty much empty when we were there. It has high ceilings & wasn't loud. I didn't feel the tables were too close together like you do at Le Cellier.





The personal pizzas are HUGE & can totally be shared. I only ate half of mine but my friend finished hers. I had the Quattro Frommagi & my friend had the mushroom personal pizza. They also offer some pasta dishes as well.

They saw my birthday pin & the HOT Italian guys sang me Happy Birthday in Italian. :) I was probably beet red! I was given a lemon cookie w/ whip cream & a candle but I forgot to take a picture because I was blushing ;)

Our waiter was excellent & checked on us often refilling drinks & checking on us. My friend speaks fluent Italian so she had a few conversations w/ him to practice her language skills.


I'm NOT a huge pizza person but this was really good!


Now on for the best course!


My friend passed on dessert. I heard they made all of their gelato in house so HAD TO try the pistachio flavor. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO good! I would go back just for the dessert!(and the "view") ;)




I really enjoyed here & will definitely be back!

Downtown Disney's Co-op Marketplace review & pictures...




Picture courtesy of: disneyparks.disney.go.com

You can find the new MarketPlace Co-Op in Downtown Disney at WDW. It is located where Team Mickey used to be. I was most excited for this store! You can make your own iPhone case here, find some cookware but the store is mostly makeup & handbags. Being as I prefer high end makeup & the bags were too pricey for me the store fell a little short for me. If you LOVE Disney handbags this place is for you. They had a HUGE room full! I tried to take as many pictures as I could of them. They had a huge area for the makeup line as well. I was expecting more choices of kitchenware I guess since that is what I gravitate towards more. They had zero Haunted mansion merchandise where we went in early September. I will definitely go back but hopefully they have more things I like next trip. They had a lot of artwork, a small men's section & ladies section.

If you cannot make a trip down to WDW you can always buy from the store online at:

I loved this set-up SO cute! They have a makeup artist on site as well to help you.


This was only Orange bird section in store

I would've bought this if it were plastic. Real glass doesn't travel well ;)
I regret not getting something from this CUTE collection!

Disney's Blueberry Muffin Review & Pics


I love a good blueberry muffin! One morning before going to the parks I needed a quick breakfast. I think that the Disney Blueberry muffins are always moist & delicious. I let me friend have a bite & she agreed it was very good. I got this particular one in the Food Court at the French Quarter hotel where we stayed. I think I might need to put this on my to do list every trip because of how good they are. Have you ever tried one at Disney property?

Sleeping Beauty New Release Review by Marc D...



Sleeping Beauty Review

“I know you; I walked with you once upon a dream”. Fans of Walt Disney’s timeless classic don’t have to dream any more as Sleeping Beauty comes to Blu-ray. The film (as some enthusiasts know) was released on Blu-ray for the first time back in 2008, however, the Diamond Edition offers a stunning visual quality that even exceeds the previous release. As I sat and watched it, I couldn’t believe how sharp and beautiful the picture was. Aurora’s dress seemed to shimmer even more than what was seen in its initial VHS release (1995).  The sound is equally amazing. In the scene where the herald announces King Hurbert and Prince Phillip, this voice echoes as does Maleficent’s voice when she is making her speech. In addition to this, the notes of the songs (in particular “Hail to the Princess Aurora” and “Sleeping Beauty”) are crisp and will leave hearts soaring.

As far as special features are concerned, I was a little disappointed. The offering include a look back Marc Davis’ ingenious work on Sleeping Beauty as well as a colorful and creative story behind Disney’s new Festival of Fantasy parade. While these features are sure to delight most Disney enthusiasts (as they did for me), my disappointment steams from the lack of a music video or games. Both the 2003 and 2008 feature creative games and music videos for the film (Once Upon a Dream performed by No Secret and Emily Osment respectively) while the Diamond Edition has nothing to offer in these two fields. In conclusion, Sleeping Beauty shines like never before and its timeless story is one that will continue to entertain and enchant children of all ages.

WDW Main Street Bakery Starbuck's Review & Pics at Magic Kingdom...



This was my first time here since it has been remodeled. I was worried that they would not have any soda to sell in the morning but I was fine. My friend loves Starbucks as much as she loves Disney so we did go to every single one of WDW Property! My friend even got an extra souvenir cup at this Starbucks. I do not drink coffee at all. I ordered a diet coke & Pumpkin bread slice for breakfast on our Magic Kingdom day. The one bad thing about the new layout is that there are no tables. We got our stuff & grabbed a bench area down by Space Mountain.




The pumpkin bread was SO moist & delicious! I would get it again in a heartbeat. I was worried they wouldn't have any breakfast options I would like. My friend pointed out that the breakfast hot sandwiches at Starbucks were cheaper than ones sold elsewhere in the parks as FYI.


The line went by fast & flowed well. We only waited about 7-10 minutes.

Guardians of the Galaxy Merchandise at WDW ...



I was surprised to find Guardians of the Galaxy merchandise when I was at WDW. The only store that I saw it was at "Merchant of Venus" in the Magic Kingdom. My favorite was the stuffed raccoon :)
