Is $50 enough for a full meal at Epcot? 🤔

Everyone says Disney food is expensive (and they aren't wrong). So I took $50 to the Festival of the Holidays to see if I could actually get full—drink and dessert included—without breaking the bank.

We found some winners... and one very weird strawberry bun. 🍓

Come see the full menu and the final receipt!

🎥 New video alert!

I wandered over to Disney Springs “just for lunch”… and somehow ended up with waterfront views, sliders, a mojito, and a pistachio affogato that made me rethink my whole life. 😂

If you love easy, delicious Disney Springs food days, this one’s for you.
Come see what we tried at The Boathouse and Vivoli Il Gelato, and tell me YOUR go-to spot so I can keep adding to my ever-growing “must eat” list. 🍤🍨✨

Today at Animal Kingdom felt… magical in a weird way.
Cold air, animals running around, and Pandora glowing long after closing time.
It honestly didn’t feel like a typical Disney day at all — in the best way.

If you need a peaceful little escape with a dash of “what is happening,” this is your vibe.

🎥 New video alert! Link to watch is in the comments ⬇️

The holidays have already begun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — and I couldn’t resist heading over to see what decorations are up just five days after Halloween! ✨

Hollywood and Sunset are twinkling and the holiday merch is rolling in fast. It’s not quite full Christmas yet, but the magic is definitely starting. 💫

Come wander with me through one of my favorite parks this time of year and see what’s new (and what’s missing 👀).

🎄 What’s your favorite thing about Hollywood Studios during the holidays?

EPCOT after dark = calm, cocktails, and cosmic surprises. 🌌

I tried GEO-82’s caramelized leek martini (10/10 recommend), rode Cosmic Rewind, and ended the night with an unexpected bit of Disney magic.

What’s your go-to EPCOT night tradition?

Sometimes the best Disney days are the ones with absolutely no plan.

I spent the day wandering Animal Kingdom, talking to the camera (finally 😅), and chasing good vibes — and it ended up being one of my favorite days ever.

Do you prefer to plan every detail or just wing it when you’re at Disney?

After a whirlwind of unpacking and settling in, I finally made it back into the parks — this time as a Florida resident! 🏰🌴

I hit Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, tried out the new Beak & Barrel Pirates Lounge, rode Haunted Mansion (of course 😉), and wrapped it all up at the adults-only lounge inside Spaceship Earth.

That vlog will be out in the next few days...can’t wait to share my first adventure as a local with you all! 💫

👉 In the meantime, tell me: what’s the first thing you’d do if you moved to Orlando and could just pop over to Disney?

Hey friends! 👋 I promise I haven’t vanished...I’m just in the middle of a huge move (and fighting off a summer cold 🤧), so videos have been a little slower to roll out. I’ll be back soon, but in the meantime… let’s have a little fun! 📦

Which video should I finish editing next?

🎶 A deep dive into Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium (history + music + some zingers)

🍗 Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen in Pigeon Forge

🍔 Sunliner Diner in Pigeon Forge (retro vibes and jukebox burgers)

🏨 Disney’s Grand Destino Tower resort tour (Coronado Springs)


Your votes will help me decide what to work on first once things settle down...

✨ Life Update! Where I’ve Been (and What’s Coming!)

Hey friends! 👋 It’s been a little quiet here because I’ve been deep in moving mode — think boxes, packing tape, and Haunted Mansion-level cobwebs 🕸️ (they’re almost themed, right?).

We’re in the middle of relocating, and while I haven’t had a chance to upload in the last week and a half, I have been filming along the way, and some really fun stuff is coming soon, including my full Steakhouse 71 review (aka my favorite Magic Kingdom escape!) and a peek behind-the-scenes of the big move.

Thank you for hanging in there with me!
