This past weekend, my mom and I continued our annual weekend trip to Disney. We missed last year because of my car accident and her incident. This year, my sister was able to come and join us. We saw the Candlelight Processional, the Osbourne lights and the Dreamlights on the castle. The castle was stunning as always and the fog made it even more of a delight... including when the fog caused the castle to disappear from sight.
For the Candlelight Processional, we had lunch at San Angel Inn (something I can check off). Not somewhere I would normally pick to eat at, but was very nice. The narrator we had was Thomas Gibson, from "Darma and Greg" and "Criminal Minds". He read very well.
The last thing we did was go to the Grand Floridian to see the Gingerbread house. We had some photos taken there which I need to take a look at. They will be very special to us.

Food and Wine Festival
The festival kicked off this past weekend in Epcot at the Walt Disney World resort. The weather couldn't have been better! The longer lines were at Germany, Brussels, France, and Canada. Germany was out of the Pilsner when we stopped there. Will go back to try Brussels again since we bypassed that line. I did get a couple bottles of wine. I want to go back to get more of one of them and the other is a gift. Looking forward to sharing time there with friends when I go back in a couple weeks. I would like to get some recipes about a couple items I tasted. Didn't go to watch the concert for Eat to the Beat series, but could hear it from where we decided to watch the fireworks at. It was a great day! Hope you can get there to enjoy it.

The Kitchen Sink
Over by Epcot, between the Yacht and Beach Club resorts, is a small little shoppe called Beaches and Cream. They serve a select variety of sandwiches and fountain drinks including floats, sundaes and shakes. One of their famous items is the the Kitchen Sink. When one is ordered, lights flash and a server brings out a most delicious sundae that is served in a kitchen sink bowl. The server goes through her little announcement with the patrons replying "A whole can?!"
What do you find in the Kitchen Sink? There are eight scoops of chocolate, strawberry, mint chocolate chip, vanilla and coffee ice creams. It is then covered with fudge, strawberry, pineapple and caramel toppings, along with almonds, Oreos, Snickers, brownies, Angelfood cake. To top it off, a whole can of whip cream and cherries. Easily serves 4 or more for $23.99

Kennels at Walt Disney World
A while back, Walt Disney World kennels were taken over by Best Friends Pet Care Inc. The kennels at WDW are still located at each park and at Ft. Wilderness campground. Plus there is a new addition over by Port Orleans Resort. The new facility has a separate area for dogs, cats and pocket pets.
The kennels are located at the entrances to Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom there parks. The kennel closest to the Magic Kingdom is over at the Ticket and Transportation Center. Plus, as said above, Ft. Wilderness campground and on Bonnet Creek Parkway opposite Port Orleans.
The kennels at the TTC, Epcot and Ft. Wilderness include 2 walks and 2 feedings per day. From reading, it appears that the same will happen at Port Orleans area kennel too. Unfortunately, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom kennels, you will have to walk and exercise your dog 2 times a day. The kennels have a fee for each animal boarded for each day there. Reservations are not a guarantee for a space, and may have to be at another of the kennel choices. I would think that the kennels at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom would be the ones with more openings.
Documentation of the following vaccinations is required. No exotic animals are allowed in the kennels.

Survey in Epcot
While at Epcot on Mother's Day, a good friend was asked by a survey taker "What country would you like to see represented in World Showcase?" Looks like they are going for some revamping. But the second question wasn't so good... "What country in World Showcase would you like to see leave?"
None in my book, but sadly, if I had to chose... it would be China or Morocco.

Florida Residents
There was a new thread a friend started on the Disboards that I had thought about doing. She did a wider range for who of Florida vs. the Central and North Florida are I would've picked. I am glad she did. I began thinking about the thread and tying it into a Facebook page and I did. It's public and open to others and has updates for when there are meets or meets that others are doing like Lou Mongelo or All Ears, not just the Florida ressies.
The first meet is currently being voted for, but unofficial meets will be happening too. All are welcome!!! Some meets may be inside a park and others at DTD or other non park activities. There will also be times with a combination of both.

Kingdom Keepers
On April 6th, the latest book in the Kingdom Keeper series comes out. This is book 3 and it continues just shy of where it left off. I was able to read the first 2 chapters today. I am looking forward to this book coming out.
For those who haven't read these books, it's a lot of fun for any age. I was given my first copy prior to my trip to Disneyland for "inflight reading only" I was told. I read all but a couple chapters on that flight. While I was at DL, I bought the second part. I read that one mostly on the way back. Having to wait 4 months was okay, but hope he is writing for the next one. My mom has enjoyed it too. I even just bought my niece books 1 and 2 for her move to Colorado to have something to read while she and her friends drive across country.
I don't want to spoil anything from the books. I recommend you go and buy them or go to the library to get them. You can even get them on iTunes audiobooks.
Rumor was too that there was to be a movie.
OH! One final thing.... Ridley Pearson is going to be at WDW at DTD for a book signing on April 6th and Epcot on the 7th.

I like to watch some of the random demonstrations too and then the different kiosks that are there (looking forward to seeing Heather French and what new art she may have come up with). And end the evening watching Illuminations or a run to Magic Kingdom to see Wishes.

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup
I was just getting my pedicure and talking Disney with my friend and a coworker of hers. He is supposedly big into WDW too, but Casey said I put him to shame. We talked some about Le Cellier and the soup. I told Casey I had the recipe and they both wanted it. Made me think, why not blog about it.
For those who haven't tried it, if you are in Epcot during Food and Wine try it. If you get a reservation at Le Cellier try it. If you can't have it because of some of the ingredients... don't have it.
1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
3 celery ribs, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
4 tablespoons of BUTTER
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock
4 cups of milk
1 pound white cheddar cheese, grated
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Course salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup warm beer
Chopped scallions or chives for garnish
serves 10
1. In a 4- or 5- quart Dutch oven, cook the bacon, stirring, over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until lightly brown.
2. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the milk and continue to simmer for 15minutes. Do not boil after you add the milk.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth. Stir in warm beer. If the soup is too thick, thin with some warm milk.
6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped scallions or chives.
Bon Appetit!

Food and Wine Festival
In just under 2 weeks, Epcot will be welcoming many to 7 weeks of wonderful food and wine from all over the world. I was at Epcot yesterday and they are already have the kiosks set up. There wasn't any topiaries set up yet, which were sparse last year, IMO. Last year was actually the most disappointing year with the way it was done... but that didn't keep me from going or enjoying it. There is a wide variety of things to do.
They have the Eat to the Beat concerts (see list below), Wine Seminars*, Taste Seminars**, Culinary demonstrations**, and then some things like a taste of Italy, a Beer Hop, and many sample size offerings of food and wine from all over. There are countries that you find in World Showcase that are also represented (France, Germany, Canada, etc) and then you have Greece, New Zealand, Ireland, India, Spain and more. New this year is going to be Thailand and Brazil... and also a dessert and champagne kiosk. The cost for the samplings vary from $3 to up to $7-8. It's a good place to try things you wouldn't try and take a step to go beyond your boundries. (I tried escargot and pickled octopus there and liked them both.)
Bon Appetit!!!

Characters in Flight
I finally was able to ride the Characters in Flight helium balloon last night and it was awesome! I didn't take my camera, so I didn't take any photos. The flight was around 7:15pm when we went up. The sun was still very much up, but it was nice. You could see a good distance around the property and beyond in some areas. I really think that if you time it right you could be on the flight when the fireworks* are going off at Epcot or at Magic Kingdom. I would imagine many, many others would try this too! It was really a neat perspective! I think that it can be romantic too... even if it only lasts 10 minutes total. I am looking forward to doing it again sometime.
*Don't forget how long the fireworks are...... Wishes is approximately 12 minutes and Illuminations is 12.5 minutes.

My sister discovered the Magic of Disney
I went to WDW this past weekend. I took my mom and my older sister. Now my mom I take fairly regular. My sister on the other hand doesn't get it. My sister is in the process of a divorce. In my opinion, she took on a lot of her soon to be ex's opinions of things. She has been to Disney a few times with her daughter when she was little, and then with her step daughter and family.
This being Mother's Day, and telling her we will take her, she finally agreed. I was able to get her a seasonal pass. This was to encourage her to make a few more trips. We picked her up, drove down the road and showed her a nice way into property with less stop lights than what she usually took.
Upon arrival to Saratoga Springs Resort, she said, "that is pretty." I smiled. "This is where we are staying." I had gotten us a one bedroom at the resort. She really liked the resort, and the room. She was impressed with the size of the room and the bath. The little details that were in the room. She even found a hidden Mickey.
We went to dinner at Cape May. Our initial plan was to be at DHS 50's Prime Time. Funny, the time was for 7:20pm and the park closed at 7pm. We were late getting there. My sister had gone to feed her horse and I was a little late getting out of work. Regardless, she enjoyed it.
We took mom back to the room, got her settled and went to Jellyrolls. My sister LOVED it! She met a couple friends of mine too. I have never gone out with my sister so it was nice. She told me, she really enjoyed the adult side of Disney.
Next morning we slept in. Got up to go to a late breakfast at the Artist Palette and then to BCV to meet Art. She really enjoyed that too.. and we met Vic! From there we went out to Epcot through the back gate. Redeemed her SP voucher and in we went. We strolled up from England to Canada. We stopped at *Heather French's kiosk (she is an artist and did the poster this year and has done others for Food and Wine). From there we went to Soarin', which again, she enjoyed.
We went to MouseGears, and then up to the front so we could see the topiaries. Saw the butterflies in the special garden. Road the ride in Mexico and Norway. Showed my sister another Hidden Mickey. She seems to like finding those. Walked around the rest of World Showcase and then back to the room to rest for a bit.
Dinner was at the Plaza and we rode Haunted Mansion and then Pirates. Next we caught the fireworks. I can't miss Wishes (okay... I can but I don't like to). Then to Teacups and a stop at the wishing well.
Next morning, my alarm didn't go off, but my sister's internal one did. Good thing too! We had breakfast at Cape May with Dorothy as our server. She is awesome! Tell her Sharon sent you.
Minnie, Goofy and Donald came by to see us. A quick run down to package pick-up to get a piece of art from *Heather French that my sister bought.
We then went to the room to pack up. We stopped at the DVC preview center. My sister went ahead with the full tour. She is going to purchase at some point. Then a stop at Downtown Disney. Unable to find one thing my sister wanted, we left to head home. It was a wonderful trip.
In the car my sister confessed (not exact quote). "I now get the adult side of Disney and why you go so much. How you go so much too. I always thought it was for kids. I like that you can go at whatever pace you want. I'm going to upgrade my pass and come down for the weekend when I want on my motorcycle and go to a water park."
Another one brought to the Mickey side. Mission accomplished
* Heather French is currently commissioned to do 2 lables for the Biltmore Estate Winery. I saw the first drafts that have to be altered because next year is the 25th Anniversary for the Winery.
