October 2013 Disney Trip Photos

October 30, 2013 | Disney, family, Travel

Bobby and I went to Disney at the beginning of the month for the Tower of Terror ten mile race. We stayed at the Boardwalk in a deluxe club level room, and I wanted to share a little about out trip with you! We very much enjoyed being able to walk over to the Food and Wine festival, and even to the race and back. Great location!

We had an amazing view of the boardwalk and the lake.

We ate out at several of our favorite restaurants as well, and even dressed up on some nights.

The newly reopened California Grill was a favorite of ours.

As were the animals at the Animal Kingdom park. How cute is this meer cat? We learned that one will stand guard while the others hunt for food, etc, and that’s what this little guy was doing. He constantly looked at the skies for birds!

Epcot was great as always, and Bobby particularly loved the food booths. It was still very warm, but the last full day we were there it cooled off which was nice!

Lots of other yummy treats were consumed as well.

We enjoyed just hanging out with each other and not thinking about the other crazy things going on in life.

We went bowling together for the first time (ever!) as a couple. I have bowled once in the past 10 years…him, none.

    My parents’ DVC is at the Boardwalk and I love that area. It’s so nice to be able to walk to two of the parks and have so much to do around the hotel.

    Wait, wait! You go to Disney World, have what appears to be a pretty wonderful time, eat all this great food and go to a Halloween party, and your question of the day is whether we like the zoo or aquariums?! LOL I’m lost. Did I miss something?

    I love going to Disney around the time of the Wine and Food festival. I loved the little booths of all the extra types of food to try. My hubby and I would go from one booth to the next just smelling our way, and eating our way around the entire area!

Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins at Val Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins  at Valley Bear Farms felt like stepping into a real-life Pinterest board 🤍 (ad)

These architectural gems mix rustic charm with modern design—think soaring wood ceilings, giant picture windows, and a dreamy soaker tub that makes you never want to leave. 😍

We even brought our dogs along (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) and watched deer wander by through the trees. 🐾 

Valley Bear Farms is tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by peaceful forest views and plenty to explore. The property has hiking trails, a cozy general store, and other on-site amenities that make it feel like a little mountain village all its own. ⛰️ 

If you’re craving a nature-filled, beautifully designed getaway where you can truly unwind, these A-Frame cabins are it.👍🏻

Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ The Cosmo Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ 

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 
There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
