Carthay Circle Review


The Kingdom Konsultant team had the pleasure of being invited to the Disneyland Resort for agent training recently, and the first night the whole group was there, we went to Carthay Circle for dinner. The restaurant is a model of the famed Carthay Circle Theater, where Snow White debuted in 1937. The restaurant is elegant and beautiful, but not pretentious. They are used to people in theme park attire.

We had trouble securing a reservation for 18, but we were able to get 3 smaller reservations and the restaurant was accommodating to seat us at tables next to each other. We had beautiful tables on the balcony overlooking Disney California Adventure and a dazzling sunset. 


Some of us ordered entrees, some ordered appetizers but mostly we ordered a lot of things to share! Every table tried the Warm Cheddar Parker House Rolls, which were served with Calabrian Chili-Pine Nut Romesco Butter. These were delicious, and the butter was the real star. 

Warm Cheddar Parker House Rolls & Calabrian Chili-Pine Nut Romesco Butter
Between all of us, I believe we covered trying most of the menu. Some favorites included the Spanish Yukon Potato Croquettes, the Crispy Gochujang Fried Shrimp, the Citrus Marinated Sustainable Fish Ceviche, the Ginger-Lemongrass Grilled Free Range Chicken and the Signature Thick Cut Pork Chop. One thing all the tables agreed on and ordered with no consulting each other beforehand--the Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes! 

Appetizers range from $14-$26 and entrees range from $46-$52.
Warm Savory Artisan Cheese Tart-Almond Butter, Seasonal Stone Fruit
Blue Lump Crab & Marscapone Stuffed Squash Blossom-Roasted Peppers,
Farmers Market Italian Squash Coulis

Spanish Yukon Potato Croquettes-Manchego Cheese, Soria Chorizo, Roasted Garlic Aioli
Braised Mushroom Raviolis-Roasted Squash, Basil,
Pine Nuts, Golden Bell Pepper Vinaigrette 
We had a wonderful time enjoying this incredible restaurant and each other's company! Cheers!

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th...
