Tower of Terror Old Hollywood hotel Idea...










I never understood why Disney didn't capitalize on the TOT hotel theme. It would be an absolute beautiful project. It could be another nice resort to visit. I'm not sure where it would go. Why don't we tear down Swan & Dolphin for it? ;)

These are some of my ideas on the theming of the resort.

This looked very old Hollywood to me. There is already the Brown derby so this could be a nicer option than that?

There could be actors around the hotel w/ these hairstyles/clothes to entertain guests in lobby,bar,etc... Maybe even an old Hollywood lounge w/ Marilyn Monroe,Rat Pack type Acts?

Do you have an idea of a new themed hotel for Disney?

My Magical Moment...



We were at the studios on a hot humid day in October 2012. We just finished the Backlot Tour & wanted a much needed ice cream treat & soda. My husband stood in line to get our items as I am away snapping pictures. There was a very large line. The girl handed my hubby 2 ice cream bars & 2 sodas saying that it was an anniversary gift from Mickey Mouse. He asked her if she was sure & she said Absolutely! We were so excited to get free treats. We were there for our 2nd wedding anniversary but didn't expect anything at all while there so this was a nice surprise. Neither of us had ever had the Mickey bar before so we were extra stoked that it was free! The Mickey bar was exceptional. I went to try to look at the calories & my hubby grabbed the wrapper to say calories don't count at WDW! Isn't that the truth?! ;) We will always have a special memory associated with Mickey bars now. :)

Can you tell me of any special magical moments that you have at at Disney???

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe & Akershus Royal Banquet Hall Cauliflower soup recipe & review....


I had amazing cauliflower soup at the Biergarten & am wondering if it is the same soup? I wasn't a fan of this recipe. It was time consuming & I didn't like the flavor. It seemed like Cauliflower mash w/ milk added to me? I've made FAR better Disney soups in the past & this is just NOT one of them!

If you want to give it a try here is the recipe:


Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
Ingredients for cauliflower soup: 
4 tablespoons whole butter
1 large onion, diced
¼ chopped shallots
1/8 cup roasted garlic puree
4 pounds cauliflower florets
¼ cup EJ Brandy
2 2/3 cup of chicken stock
1 ½ quarts of heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
To taste allspice
To taste crushed red pepper
To taste kosher salt
To taste ground white pepper
½ cup butter

Chive Oil for Garnish:
1 cup chives
1 cup olive oil blend
Sourdough Croutons for Garnish: 
½ loaf of sourdough baguette
Olive oil blend to lightly coat
To taste salt
To taste pepper


Method of Preparation:
for cauliflower soup:
1. On a cookie sheet, roast the shallots, garlic, onions until tender on 350° degree oven. When cooled, puree in a blender.
2. Roast the cauliflower until lightly colored.
3. In a large soup pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add onions and shallots.
4. Add the florets and allow to slightly brown, stir in garlic puree.
5. Deglaze the pot with the brandy.
6. Add chicken stock and cream. Allow the florets to soften until fork tender.
7. Puree with a stick blender or in a blender.
8. Add spices to taste.
9. Add the remaining butter to finish soup.
For chive oil:
1. In a airtight container, let steep a minimum of 24 hours.
2. Stain though a cheesecloth.
3. Store in airtight container.

For sourdough croutons: 
1. Small dice sourdough baguette and place in a bowl.
2. Lightly toss with oil, salt and pepper.
3. Place on a cookie pan and cook at 350° until golden brown

I didn't make the chive oil or croutons.....

Eyes & Ears Cast Member Newspaper...





I am what you call a Disney Hoarder. My College Program friends are quite impressed with all of the things I held onto from our internships. I think I kept almost every cast newspaper I received. These are over 10 years old & you will be able to tell by the articles that I chose to show. This paper is a lot like any company's internal paper. It has a section for Jobs, Roommates,people selling cars, & a section for new apartment/Housing. It also has a section of classes cast members can take to further their careers. Every now & then it told about special Cast Member discounts in Orlando. I know when I worked at WDW I could see any movie at Downtown Disney for $5 all day/night. I went to the movies A LOT! ;) Disney has an awesome career advancement  program throughout of all Disney. I wish I took more advantage of the classes that they offered. I truly miss working for this awesome company every day...... :(

Anyone know if WDW still does the Jr Chef Program?!

Mickey Waffles Recipe & Review...



We were in the mood for Mickey Waffles Sunday morning so I googled a quick new recipe to try. I ended up trying a fellow Disney Blog Friend's recipe. :) Check out:http://www.thedisneychef.com/ 
for great recipes & easy instructions. She has a great blog & FB page. Since Disney recipes are her specialty here is a link to the exact recipe I used. Her webpage/recipes are VERY easy to follow & she answers any questions you might have about anything in a recipe!;) http://www.thedisneychef.com/2012/06/mickey-waffles.html

 I will also copy & paste her exact recipe & instructions:


°o°  4 eggs, separated
°o°  1 - 2 tablespoons sugar
°o°  1 cup milk
°o°  1/4 cup (half a stick) of butter or margarine, melted, cooled to room temp
°o°  1 teaspoon vanilla
°o°  2 cups flour
°o°  2 teaspoons baking powder
°o°  1/2 teaspoon salt


Beat egg yolks in a large bowl until the sugar is thoroughly mixed and the yolks are thick and sunny colored.  Add the milk, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract and stir until combined.  Then add all at once flour, baking powder, and salt.  Mix well, but be sure not to overmix (overmixed batter will be frothy with lots of bubbles).  If the mixture is too thick, add more milk until the mixture resembles that of thick pudding.



In a separate bowl, using a mixer, beat egg whites until stiff.  Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter.  DO NOT MIX.


Bake, following the instructions of your waffle maker until golden brown.  Please note, these waffles rise and expand considerably so use the least amount of batter needed for desired results.  For those using a lock-lid waffle maker, this is especially important.  For results that most resemble Mickey waffles as served at Disney World, use a Belgian waffle maker.

Look at how fluffy these came out guys!!!


Serve with a variety of toppings, including butter, powdered sugar, syrup, chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, whipped cream, strawberries or other fruits, even ice cream and sprinkles.

Her recipe was SO easy to follow. This is the 3rd waffle WDW recipe I've tried & this is the best I've tried so far. It was VERY easy to whip up in 10 minutes. This recipe made 8 or 9 Mickey waffles for us. 

My hubby's fave way to eat 

This is how I LOVE to make mine :)

Our dog BEGGED us all morning for one so we gave in......She was so patient LOL

Disney's Sci-Fi Drive In Mac & Cheese Recipe & Review....



I have made this recipe two times. This is a very time consuming sauce that you MUST pay attention to. You have to constantly whisk in cheese until all is melted without burning. I will probably not make this again. It is way too labor intensive. I wasn't crazy about the mac & cheese but my hubby LOVED it! He was mad I was going to just throw it away. LOL. To each his own? It isn't my kinda mac & cheese that I love I guess? I LOVED YSH Mac & cheese Personally. ;)

I ripped the cheese slices up so it was easier to melt into the sauce.

Indiana Jones @ WDW ...



My husband is a HUGE Indiana Jones fan. He was so excited to actually go to the Stunt Show this past trip at DHS. We didn't get to go to it last time. It was a good show overall. They always "plant" a few stuntmen in the crowd with very loud touristy looking shirts. HAHA but it is always a good show.


To the entrance of the IJ Stunt Show on the left you will see this rope & well. If you pull the rope the well will talk to you. We did it a few times last trip & it was fun. :)

My hubby is such a huge IJ fan that he dressed up as him a few years ago for Halloween while I dressed up in a Kimono that I got at Epcot as a Geisha. :)


I let my husband pick out our entrance music to our wedding & guess what he chose? The Indiana Jones Music! HAH I might also add the we got married on Halloween as well. :)
