Disney and Brunching Weekend

I love taking Fridays or Mondays off to extend the weekend, and Friday called for a day at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios riding rides and some day drinking.


Started the day off at Animal Kingdom where I rode Dinosaur for the first time and took another ride on one of my favorite coasters: Expedition Everest. Afterwards it was time for an African Margarita (Sauza Gold tequila, Van der Hum Tangerine Liqueur from South Africa, sweet and sour, and lime juice) and some photo opps in front of the Tree of Life with Expedition Everest in the background.

Next it was time to move to Hollywood Studios....


First thing on the to-do list was to cash in our fast passes we had reserved ahead of time for Aerosmith's Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror. Then it was time for a margarita flight at the Hollywood Brown Derby and some amazing looking candied apples. I mean how adorable is that Olaf apple?!



Saturday called for some errands at Target where they were giving out free cafe lattes *yes please*, an online Barre3 work out, and some lounging by the pool.


*Sunkissed*



*Scored both of these tops for less than $15 at the ON sale*



Our new living room centerpiece is now assembled, and decorated for fall. I just need to figure out how to conceal some of the wires and the Halloween twinkle lights. Love how cozy this makes the room feel, and how we can have the flames going with or without the heat which will be great for parties so it won't get too stuffy.


Sunday morning I went to brunch with the girls and had an amazing omellette, blood orange mimosa, and drooled over the cakes on display. There was also a dog costume party in the park across from the restaurant and it was adorable seeing all the doggies out and about in their costumes. I even saw "Beethoven"... my first in life St. Bernard siting. Such a sweetie-pie and so soft.


And what late October weekend is complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch? So many to choose from and let's just say I have a lot of jack-o-lanterns to carve!
