FitFluential and more Disney

June 16, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Fun announcement today! I was selected as one of FitFluentials ambassadors! Check out the page, and my bio HERE. I am so honored to be one of the ones chosen! If you missed my “audition” blog post, you can check that out HERE. I am excited for whatever is in store for me with FitFluential!

Ok, so moving back to my Disney trip. We left off with My parents anniversary. The next day was Saturday, and we had lunch in the Magic Kingdom at Liberty Tree Tavern. But first, we sat out on the swing at the beach again. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip!

check out my dad in the background….ya…

We watched some sweet baby ducks following mama around.

and Bobby chased them

We went to the Magic Kingdom early to walk around a little bit.

We walked by the new Fantasyland expansion. it’s coming along!

Our strong courageous men tried to pull out the sword.

It was finally time for lunch, and I got one of my favorite Disney desserts…Ooey gooey toffee cake!

After lunch we walked around a little more, then decided to head back to the hotel and relax at the pool.

It was really crowded, but eventually I spotted the only empty table right by the pool, so we had some shade.

We hung out at the pool, relaxing, reading, and swimming around, for a couple hours. it was really nice and relaxing. Then it was time to head to the lounge for appetizers. We didn’t have a reservation for dinner, so we were going to try to make the food in the lounge enough for dinner, and we managed!

after we ate, Bobby ran to the gym, and my dad and I walked and met him there. They did some weights and elliptical, and I ran 3 miles on the treadmill.

we walked back through a wedding. The design of the sidewalk is really poorly done, we basically had to go through the wedding party to get to the other side.

when we got back, the Poly beach was the place to be. They were having movie night and a campfire with marshmallows. We went back up to the lounge for desserts, and then decided to walk around outside and check out all the action.

we walked down to the dock and sat on some benches right as the water parade started. perfect timing! Oh, not to mention, the weather was so nice! not humid and I was chilly, I had a sweatshirt on!

It was a really great night just hanging out at the hotel. We went to bed after that, ready to head to the mickey boat the next day!

QOTD: what is your favorite way to relax on vacation?

    Looks like you had a perfect day in Disney! Sometimes lounge food really is enough for an entire meal!

    Your yellow & white polka dot bikini is so cute! Where’d you get it?
    My favorite way to relax on vacation is to lay on chairs by the pool or walk along the beach…with a pina colada of course!

    • Heather says

      June 16, 2011 at 5:52 pm

      I LOVE Pina colodas!
      I got it from the Victorias Secret Swim catalog a couple years ago!

So thankful for summertime! ☀️ @thehendersonfl i So thankful for summertime! ☀️ 

@thehendersonfl is one of our all time faves (for obvious reasons, look how blue that water is! Look how amazing the drinks look! Look at the huge smiles on our faces!) we always come away feeling so relaxed and refreshed. 🧖‍♀️ 

If you want a luxury hotel feel in Destin Florida, but still something that caters to families (hello kids club!) then this is it! Your search stops here! Drop any questions you may have in the comments and I am happy to answer. 🏖️

If you are doing Disney World, this is an easy clo If you are doing Disney World, this is an easy close by dinner to slip into one of your nights that will have you saying: “why didn’t we come here sooner?!?” (Ad) 🍝 

Simply Capri is just outside the parks and feels like a calm reset from the chaos of the day. Soft lighting, relaxed pace, and an authentic Italian menu where everything feels familiar in the best way. (Their pizza oven was sent over FROM Italy!) 🍕 

Enjoy cocktails on the patio or dessert under the soft lighting after dark. It still feels like part of your vacation, just with a slower rhythm and high quality delicious food. 

Save this reel for a night when you want a break from park food but still want something near by!! 🇮🇹

MARGARITAVILLE RESORT STAY GIFTAWAY! 🚨👇🏻 I’ll be MARGARITAVILLE RESORT STAY GIFTAWAY! 🚨👇🏻

I’ll be honest… I sometimes find beach resorts kind of repetitive.(ad)

Beach. Pool. Restaurant. Repeat.

But @margaritavillefortmyers surprised me. 🎉

What made it stand out wasn’t just the beautiful beach. It was the little things. A pool we kept coming back to, a location that made everything easy, sunsets right on property, spacious rooms, and that sweet spot of being family friendly without feeling like a kid-focused resort.

It ended up being one of those trips where we were already talking about coming back before we even left. I want one of you to experience this feeling for yourself, sssooooo….

🎉 Now YOU could be gifted a 2-night stay! 🚨 

🏖️ Prize: Complimentary Two-Night Stay at Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach, Florida

I really thought he was SO cool when we first met I really thought he was SO cool when we first met in college. 
I mean, he drove a red corvette and was two years older than me. 💁🏻‍♀️

Turns out he’s just been confidently weird this whole time and hiding it really well. 🤣

Anyone else married to a professional goofball? 🤦🏻‍♀️
