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!

Now that Emma Kate’s in 5th grade, she’s ready Now that Emma Kate’s in 5th grade, she’s ready for a little more independence… and I’m ready for the peace of mind that comes with her COSMO JrTrack smartwatch. 💛 ad

With real calling, messaging, GPS tracking, and only approved contacts, it’s the 1990s simple we miss—with the 2025 safety our kids need.

The JrTrack is so much more than a smartwatch—it’s about inspiring kid-safe adventures in the real world and giving families the tools for a safer, smarter start. From SOS mode and SafeZones to School Mode for distraction-free learning, she gets freedom, I get reassurance, and we both stay connected every step of the way.

Here’s to letting her explore while knowing she’s protected. 🥹💖
