Party Planning: Our #DisneySide @ Home Celebration

As reported last month, I'm one of the many people participating in the  #DisneySide @ Home campaign. Plans are now in full swing for our celebration-

After much delay while we worked out some exciting guest list details, we've got a solid plan underway! As I've written about many times on Plus the Magic, my sister and her family are not only our "regular" family, they're also our Disney family- they love WDW as much as we do. Two years ago, we all had the chance to be in the world together. We live a great distance from each other, and while some of us have seen each other in varied combinations in the time since our WDW trip, we have not all had the chance to be together since then...until now! They are all (the whole family- unprecedented!) coming to visit, and we are hosting our celebration in honor of our collective family Disney memories. One of the things that we all get a great deal of enjoyment from is pin trading. So, without further ado, I present our celebration plan:


In addition to pin trading, we'll be recreating some of our favorite park and resort experiences- foods, attractions, and special events. Check back in soon for details!

Revisiting The Food & Wine Festival

A snowy day always makes me want to go through photos from a warmer & sunnier time. Today I found pictures from the Epcot Food & Wine Festival, and was immediately reminded that I never shared any photos or reviews after my trip.

My first taste of the F & W was actually the last weekend of the event. I was at WDW for the Jingle Jungle 5K, part of  the runDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend- so being able to catch the final weekend of the festival was a big bonus! Prior to my visit, I wrote this post back in October, sharing some of the dishes I was looking forward to. I had been stalking the menus and reviews in the weeks leading up to my visit, so I had a good idea of what I wanted to try.




As expected, there were a lot of hits- as well as a few misses.  Below are some of the highlights, along with a few that didn't quite make the "best of" list...



Singapore:
Seared Mahi Mahi with Jasmine Rice and Singa Sauce
I liked this quite a bit- firm, flavorful, and spicy, with well-cooked rice.
