A little on Disney dining....


Last post on Disney, I promise!

We did the Disney dining plan....so many choices but we chose the one that had 1 snack, 1 quick service meal and 1 sit down meal per person (except for #4 she was able to eat off of our plates.) And to be honest that was a lot of food but we were able to spread it over 5 nights and 5 days pretty nicely.

I did plan early and got it to some fun table service dinners. We ate at the Coral Reef (Epcot), Ohana (Polynesian resort), Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (Epcot), Cinderella and Prince Charming Dinner at 1900 Park Fare (Grand Floridian resort), and Chef Mickey (Contemporary Resort)

At each of those restaurants the chef met with us to discuss the menu for Little Man's allergies. Sometimes at the buffets they would take us up to the food to show us what was acceptable for his peanut, tree nut (including coconut and nutmeg) and dairy allergies. They adjusted menu items. They created special breads and desserts for him. The chefs often brought it to our table. WOW! Talk about amazing service and a load of mom/dad's mind regarding his food issues. They may have been the best part for me!





The food was good at each of those places. I asked the hubs what his favorite was and he said Ohana for food and 1900 Park fare for atmosphere/service. I would agree but I do love Chef Mickey. It was breakfast and I love a hearty 10 am breakfast!



The quick services were okay. I think the hardest part was finding seating. That and standing in unbelievable long lines to just take your order. We liked most of the food except for one place, the friar's nook in Magic Kingdom. It was just plain awful. It was a good thing we had some snacks coming our way soon!


Overall, the trip was really good. The family made lots of great memories and we had a blast riding rollercoasters and seeing characters. I hope that some day we can do this again but I don't thing we will be doing it during spring break again.

My little {BIG} fear

So here's my little confession: I have big fears and little fears. But lately one particularly has been plaguing me { AGAIN }. It is the fear of being forgotten, more so being { FORGETTABLE } and indivisible. I don't know what starts it or triggers it, but it can be as simple as an email offering to volunteer for something than not hearing a reply. I guess the last trigger was a group wide calendar was sent out with {every one's} birthday on it except mine. I know that is wasn't done on purpose but my birthday is a sensitive subject to me. Its always been forgotten. Its right around Labor day and the first week of school. So in the busyness its often overlooked. Or in the case of 6th grade its not even written on the calendar. Mrs. Brotherton I think I know when my birthday is...but she still made me go to the Principal's office for arguing with her and I came back successfully with a note that I was indeed correct about knowing my birthday. I digress... I was telli...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
