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!

It will be YOU. 🎄 They don’t know it yet. But whe It will be YOU. 🎄

They don’t know it yet. But
when they’re grown and starting
their own Christmas traditions,
it will be you they mirror.
Your family recipes,
the Christmas songs,
the nostalgic smell.

When they think of Christmas,
it will be YOU, not the presents
that they remember.

You are their memories.
You are their magic.
You are their Christmas. ❤️🎄

So slow down. Stop worrying if the presents are wrapped just right, if you baked enough cookies or picked out the right cards to send. It doesn’t matter. They will remember YOU.

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

❄️ Save this for your holiday trip to the Smokies, and comment the word Snow and I will send you my exclusive discount code right to your inbox!

Carols & Barrels is a Christmas-themed whiskey trail filled with festive pop-ups, over-the-top décor, and limited-time holiday cocktails at distilleries across the state.

We visited Old Tennessee Distilling Co. and Old Forge Distillery in East Tennessee, and both went all-in on the holiday magic. From peppermint martinis to hot-cocoa old fashioneds—every stop has something totally different.

Grab your FREE digital passport and start checking in as you sip your way through Tennessee. Such a fun way to add a little adventure to the holiday season.✨
