{Destination Disney} The Letter "D"


I am loving all these wonderful alphabet posts for Destination Disney! It's so much fun seeing what everybody comes up with for each letter :) Thanks to Heidi from Reviews and Reflections for hosting this fantastic blog hop!!

This week's letter is "D". It was a little more difficult for me because I don't have a lot of pictures that go with all the "D" things I could think of. I did find a few, I hope you enjoy!

Five on Friday

In my Five on Friday post last week, I listed my top five snacks I was looking forward to eating on our next trip to Disney World. If you missed out on the post, you can catch up here.

This week I thought I would post the top five Signature restaurants that I am most looking forward to trying out. My hubby and I are hoping to be able to make it down to Disney for our 10th anniversary (not until 2015) just the two of us, and if we do, we will definitely be checking out these places!

5. California Grill - I think I would like to try this one mostly for the view of the Magic Kingdom! I think it would be so wonderful and romantic (not to mention magical!) to have dinner here overlooking the Magic Kingdom while Wishes were going off!!

4. Le Cellier Steakhouse - I have heard so much about this delicious place - especially the cheddar cheese soup and "Moose" dessert. I would love to try this out soon - although if we are going as a family, it would definitely be for lunch when it's only 1 TS credit!

3. Artist Point - I think my husband would like this restaurant the most out of all the Signature restaurants. The menu sounds delicious and I love that it changes seasonally!

2. Flying Fish Cafe - This restaurant just sounds like so much fun! Who wouldn't want to have your food made right in front of you? I would love this for the yummy food and the chef interaction for sure!

1. Victoria & Albert's - I think this is a given. If you are talking about the best place to have a romantic meal at Disney, this is the place everybody thinks about. I would love to be able to eat at the Chef's Table here one time - it would be a dream!

Have you tried any of the Signature restaurants? What are your recommendations for a romantic meal for two?

Something About Me Saturday

Hi there! It's time for another Something About Me Saturday post hosted by Disney Bird! I love joining in on this hop - it's so much fun!! It's really nice getting to know more about these wonderful bloggers that I follow each week!

This week has been pretty exhausting for me - mostly because I have been sick. On Monday, I started feeling really tired and worn down. By Tuesday, I had a sore throat and was really not feeling well. I had a lot to do at work this week, so I went on in on Wednesday, but by lunch I was done. I ended up leaving work and headed straight to the doctor's office. I was there for over 2 hours and after a strep test and blood work, it was determined that I had walking pneumonia. To some, this isn't a very serious issue. Many people walk around with it and never realize they have it. Unfortunately for me, it hits me a little harder than most people. I was hoping after the two wonderful shots that I got from the doctor, the antibiotic, couch medicine, and allergy pill that I would feel well enough to head to work on Friday. Unfortunately I am still not feeling much better and it's already Saturday morning.

Many of my friends and family worry when I get walking pneumonia and believe that I should see a pulmonologist. You might be thinking that it would be a little much, but I have had walking pneumonia 6 times now in the past 2 years. In the Fall of 2009 I had it 2 times between September and December (along with Strep once) and within the same time period in 2010 I had it 3 times. This year it seems to be hitting me a little earlier, so I am hoping that it doesn't mean I am going to get it more this year. I do actually worry a little bit about getting it so much, so I am thinking that if I don't start feeling better soon or get it again within a few months, then I will see a specialist to see if there is anything else going on with me.

I am really hoping that rest this weekend will help me get over it this so I can get back to normal on Monday!

Thanks for joining me this week from the Something About Me Saturday Hop!
