Our Hawaiian Honeymoon, p1

Aloha lovelies, is the thing to say on a bright and beautiful hawaiian day!

So as you all probably are aware, Lar and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and oh my goodness was it amazing! This was my first time ever visiting the islands and they were beyond gorgeous.

Seriously everything about our trip was just beautiful and that's why I knew I needed to share it all with you as best I could. Our honeymoon started out at "the happiest place on earth," Disneyland! Of course I couldn't miss a trip to the parks while in California. I would highly recommend taking a travel break though if you ever do plan to visit Hawaii. The flights can be so long. For us coming from the east coast it was 5hrs to Cali, but then another 5hrs from there to the islands. So splitting the trip was definitely a smart plan and I'm so glad Larry set it up that way!

Disneyland and California Adventure were great ways to start out our getaway. I'm such a Disney fanatic that getting to have those moments wearing the "just married" buttons and ears meant so much to me.

Next stop on our trip was, Oahu!

We stayed at Aulani a Disney resort during our 6 nights on Oahu, and wow oh wow was it amazing! The entire resort was just so beautiful. We got lucky and stayed on the top floor (16th) and they gave us one of the sweetest views I think you could get. Our room looked out to the center of the pool/courtyard, but not only could we see this amazing view, but we could also look out to the ocean! It was absolutely breath taking.

We experienced fine dining, our first luau, traveled along the North Shore... where we even got to see a live surf competition, and discovered one of the locals favorite treats - shave ice! There's so much more and pretty sure you'll want to see our experiences for yourselves.

There's more to share from the second portion of our honeymoon, so stay tuned for that next week.

Trust there were even more adventures we partook in on Maui!

It's Halloween, at Disney

I could not be more excited for all the Fall vibes to be rolling in! Now for the weather to just hop on board here in Florida.

Lovelies, the spooky season is upon us here at Disney and I am so here for it! You better believe I was there on the First day for all the fall festive goodies. September 15, 2020 kicked off the season with all the Fall decor and yummy seasonal treats, along with super rare character sightings. I got it all in here for ya.

DECOR

I was so excited to see all the festive themed Mickey pumpkins and the cutie cute scarecrows upon arrival. As I was getting to the toll booths that morning I was nervous, because there weren't the big blow up Mickey and Minnie pumpkins. I had a feeling already then that I was going to be let down, but I kept high hopes.

Walking up to the Magic Kingdom, again in front of the train station there's usually a huge Mickey pumpkin, and no pumpkin... Still holding out hope. Then when I got in to see the flag pole hub and no scarecrows were around I knew they didn't go all out this year. I was so sad about this, because the decor makes me so happy. I truly believe it's for them to try and keep crowds down for physical distancing regulations because you know people would gather and not pay attention to their spacing. Shoot it's already hard enough when it comes to merchandise keeping those 6 feet between parties, so I get it, but I really wish there would've been more.

They do have the Mickey pumpkin wreaths up on the light poles all along Mainstreet USA and the Castle hub. So at least we get a little more of the Fall vibes from them.

TREATS

So many yummy seasonal Fall treats this year. I couldn't get them all in on this visit. Two of the main goodies I wanted was the Mickey Pumpkin Balloon popcorn bucket, which I was able to get! It's $18 and can get the popcorn in it or separate. They also have an Oogie Boogie bucket that's really fun for Halloween, also $18.

A new hot item this year is the Madame Leota sipper, and of course they're already sold out. I was so upset when I found this out after standing in line for 30mins. Luckily it was only 30mins and not an hour thanks to the one cast member who was checking the line for our order requests. Now I know the sipper came out like the week prior, but come on sold out and for the season... that is ridiculous and it's all due to the dumb ebay resellers. I seriously am so over them. They've been reselling merch for forever now for an up charge, but lately it is EVERYTHING! All the ears and all the special seasonal merch, it is insane. The ML sipper only is $15 at the park, but good luck finding one on ebay for under $50.

The other sweet treat I did try last Tuesday was the Constance's For Better or for Worse Wedding Cake. First, the look gets a 100! It's super pretty and detailed. A tripled tiered miniature wedding cake with white pearls and teal sparkles, along with a chocolate axe to slice through the goodness. The inside is a citrusy vanilla cake with a raspberry bavarian buttercream. The cake was very moist and had a great combination of flavors. If you're not a fan of citrus, then I wouldn't really recommend you trying. I liked it, but could def tell it was citrusy. You can get it from The Liberty Square Market for $6.29.

There's a few more tasty treats I'm eyeing to try, so stay tuned to my IG stories for my visits coming up at the end of the month!

CHARACTER CAVALCADES

The things that made my heart most happy, the characters all dressed up in their Halloween costumes and the Villains taking over the parade routes. OMG y'all seriously don't know how much of a big little kid I am I don't think...

I absolutely love and always have loved watching the parades. Right now Disney isn't having their typical large parades. Instead they're showcasing miniature character cavalcades. Snd they do not disappoint! Yes, they are small. It's only one float that strolls down Mainstreet USA, but it fills my heart with joy seeing those characters. For Halloween they have some super cute ones too. They have Pooh and friends dressed in costumes on the trolly, then there's the Nightmare Before Christmas one with Jack, Sally, and Oogie. We can't forget about the Villains taking over which is so fun andddd they have the "Boo to You" Mickey float that is amazing. Mickey and gang are all dressed in my Halloween costumes and they're just the cutest.

I actually vlogged the entire day for all the festivities! So if you wanna see for yourselves how cute all the characters were and get those fall magic feels, take a peak HERE
