Review: Lunch at Grand Floridian Cafe!

Helloooooo, Disney Fans!       I hope you're having a "grand" week! I got to have a lovely brunch with a friend last week, at the Grand Floridian Cafe, and I wanted to share my experience with you, partially because I know that since you're reading this blog, you'll enjoy hearing about it, and partially because then I can call it "work" and not "being lazy and avoiding cleaning the house".      To me, the Grand Cafe is one of the rare "hidden gems" of Disney Dining. It's not crazy-popular, but that's probably just because when it comes to The Grand, Narcoossee's, Citricos and Victoria & Albert's tend to steal all the fame, not to mention the character meals at 1900 Park Fare.

Cruise Ports: Barcelona Highlights

When the Disney Magic heads to Europe for some Mediterranean fun, it typically ports in the city of Barcelona, Spain.  A lot of people choose to add a few days pre or post cruise in this lovely city to help fight jet lag and get a little extra touring time.  I chose to add my days pre-cruise so when I landed at the airport I was able to hit the ground running to see as much of the city as possible. Barcelona is a city full of rich history, culture and gorgeous architecture.  So where can you even begin?  Here are a few of my favorite things from my trip. 1. Tapas! Spanish cuisine is known for sangria (alcoholic punch), paella (traditional rice dish), and tapas!  If you have time, I suggest seeking out all three, but if there's only time for one meal, I do suggest tapas.  Why? Tapas are small plates with a variety of appetizers or snacks- so you can try a lot and really get a feel for Spanish Cusine.  Tapas restaurants often serve sangria and...
