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!

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.

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️
