The 2nd Best Disney World Bathroom

This post is long overdue…like long long long overdue. And you know how some folks work better under deadline pressure? Thanks, Walt Disney World for the push. It’s no secret that the Tangled bathroom at Magic Kingdom is the best themed bathroom in the land. But with rumors flying that the Toy Story Land Cooties Bathroom will blow away the competition (opening to the public tomorrow June 30th), I’m in my ignorant bliss sharing what I know as The 2nd Best Disney World Bathroom. (At least until my visit to Toy Story Land on July 18th – hope you’ll follow along.) Take a look around at this highly underrated rest stop at Walt Disney World and see if you agree if this themed bathroom is worth stopping to “let it go.”

5 BEST Pandora Eats for Kids at Satu’li Canteen

Disney never disappoints in the eating department. I sadly admit that my first visit to the beautiful land of Pandora, The World of Avatar did not include magical Pandora eats. With the opportunity to finally visit Pandora with my children, I wasn’t going to pass up another meal. Weird names and strange looks may have your kids giving the “stink eye” to this uncharted territory, especially when it comes to putting delicious food in their bellies. Yup, I have two picky eaters too. But we gave Pandora a lunch-time try and came away with 5 BEST Kid-Friendly Pandora Eats for Kids at Satu’li Canteen.

Staying at a Disney Hotel During Hurricane Irma Was the Best Decision We’ve Ever Made. And we’d do it again for the next hurricane evacuation. Here’s What to Expect When You Stay at a Disney Hotel During a Hurricane + VIDEO

What to Expect When You Stay at a Disney Hotel During a Hurricane + VIDEO

I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in my life. A lot of good ones too, but mostly you tend to harp on the horrible decisions. With Hurricane Irma on the move towards Florida, the bad decisions were racking up. We were too late deciding to get boards for our windows. We were too late in the “let’s evacuate Florida  now” bandwagon. Gas shortages left folks stranded. Terrified people desperately diving for loaves of bread, stampeding for generators…chaos in a state of Florida-shaped box.

Irma had the whole state in panic – and I was worried that with my family’s lives in my hand that another bad decision could cost us dearly. I remember my terror filled eyes as I looked at my husband and decided that “we’re evacuating.” Category 5, I wasn’t messing around. We had to leave – but where? Where did we feel safe?

Disney. Only a short drive away, we knew we could make it – that is if we could book a room in time. It’s the only time where I’ve seen the Disney website glitch – and glitch – and glitch. I couldn’t book a room. Seconds turned into eternities as I desperately tried to book a room, ANY room at any Disney World Resort. Finally, the spinning wheel turned sweet success. I’ve never been so excited to book a Disney hotel in my life. Let me say this – as much as I LOVE working with Disney, this post is 100% not sponsored. I paid for that 3-night room as a guest. And I got my money’s worth 100 times over.

“Your vacation is booked!” the screen excitedly told me with all of the pixie dust and exclamation points I could handle. I snickered – vacation? Really, Disney? We’re running away from a catastrophic hurricane.

But in all seriousness, staying at a Disney Hotel during Hurricane Irma, that’s right up there with the best decision my husband and I have made together in a long time (you know, besides having children). In the midst of the storm (yes, every stinking pun intended), we found Disney magic, hope, love, calmed fears and the best possible scenario in an impossible situation. Here’s What to Expect When You Stay at a Disney Hotel for a Hurricane – magic still included.
