Special Summer Event at Walt Disney World

Everyone knows about Walt Disney World and its corresponding four main theme parks. But did you know Walt Disney World also has two water parks?!

I am partnering with Enterprise (the official rent - a - car of Walt Disney World and Disneyland) to tell you about a super special summer Disney World event called H2O Glow Nights!

This is a special after-hours event at Typhoon Lagoon, one of Disney’s two water parks! This water park boasts a huge surf pool with waves reaching as high as six feet, a lazy river, kiddie section, and many water slides! All under lifeguard supervision, of course. 

The event is exactly what it sounds like: a Glow Party at a waterpark! What makes this event extra special are the following perks:

1. Character dance parties with a DJ! You can dance alongside Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends as a DJ blasts music and performers in glow costumes break it down with you right on the beach! This was the highlight of the event for me!

2. The park isn’t crowded at all! Because this is a special ticketed after-hours event, capacity is limited—meaning you can ride EVERYTHING and still have time to relax in the lazy river or get tossed around by the wave pool! 

3. Popcorn and ice cream are included in the ticket cost! Enjoy as many boxes of popcorn, Mickey Premium Bars, Strawberry Fruit Bars, and Mickey ice cream sandwiches as your heart desires! 

4. Special food offerings ONLY for H2O Glow Nights! The regular daytime Typhoon Lagoon menus are taken down and a special H2O menu is put up! Ever tried colorful lo-mein or glowing chicken and waffles? Now you can! 

5. Soda is included! Enjoy as many sodas as you like at quick service locations!

6. Need transportation? Enterprise has a rental car location on site! They make it super easy to get around the entire Disney property for special events like this one that will provide memories that last a lifetime!

Walt Disney World’s Top 5 Hotel Amenities

 Walt Disney World’s Top 5 Hotel Amenities 

When most people stay at a hotel, they expect basic amenities: their room cleaned each morning, simple soap in the bathroom, and a coffee maker. But staying at an on-site Walt Disney World resort hotel offers SO MUCH MORE! I could talk all day about why you should stay on-site for your Disney vacation! 

I am partnering with Enterprise (the official car rental company of Disney) to share my top 5 favorite Walt Disney World resort hotel amenities!

1. The Pool - Holy Moly talk about a themed masterpiece! Disney’s resort pools are more than a basic tank filled with water. Each pool has its own theme created in line with the theme of the resort. Deluxe and Moderate resort pools also come with water slides AND pool bars! You can grab lunch and relax in the style of your stunning surroundings! 

2. Restaurants – a basic off-site hotel typically does not have restaurant offerings. If they do, it's typically something basic and from a freezer. But not at Disney! All on-site Disney resorts have restaurants. This makes grabbing breakfast before your theme park day or dinner afterward a breeze! Each Value resort has a quick service option. The quick service dining at the Value resorts usually have several different stations where you can find many varying food options. You can grab and go! Moderate and Deluxe resorts offer both quick service and fancier sit-down dining options. This makes things so much easier to find the best dining fit for your family without leaving the resort.

 

3. In-room amenities – Yes, each room has a coffee maker and soap. BUT Disney has partnered with a legitimate skincare company to bring their guests some of the best bathroom products on the market. Talk about feeling luxurious! And if you like the products enough, you can even buy them in the gift shop!

4. Gym/Spa – Do you prioritize wellness while on vacation? Many resorts offer on-site state-of-the-art gyms and spas. Gym reservations are not required, but spa reservations are. This makes it so easy to prioritize your health—even while on vacation! Take a moment for yourself to really unwind after a long day of exploring Disney. After your spa treatment, you will soon realize that you feel rejuvenated and more ready than ever to take on another full day at the parks!

 

5. Transportation – The biggest perk to staying on-site is the ease of transportation. Each resort offers bus services to and from the parks.  Some resorts have a monorail service that will take you to the Magic Kingdom. BUT did you know that there is an Enterprise Rent-A-Car facility located on Disney’s property? Talk about ease and convenience for getting around while you are on vacation! Renting a car right there and using it to get around the property provides an ultimate ease and convenience that you can't get staying anywhere else! Added bonus: Enterprise offers a complimentary shuttle with door-to-door service from your resort hotel to the facility!

Brother ScanNCut DX

As a content creator it’s always really exciting when a brand you know and love reaches out to you to review one of their latest products. When Brother reached out to send me their Disney  ScanNCut DX SDX230Di Electronic Cutting Machine, the latest addition to the ScanNCut DX series—I was elated. Brother is a brand I have trusted from childhood through my transition into adulthood for so many of my needs. Printers for school essays, sewing machines for my outfits, label makers for my pantry products. The options are endless and never let me down.

The ScanNCut DX is a home hobby machine with capabilities to cut your favorite shapes and  words out onto vinyl or cardstock that you can apply onto pillows, scrapbooks, fabrics (like T-shirts), drink tumblers, etc. The only limitations of what you can create with this machine are the limits of your own mind.

 

In comparison to competitors out there (per Brother’s website) “The ScanNCut DX is the only affordable and versatile cutting machine with a built-in scanner for making all of life's moments stand out.” 

 

I knew I wanted to decorate a fun tote bag to bring to the parks. On long Disney days I need a bag big enough to carry all my essentials, so why not make it Disney themed?!

Upon unboxing the Disney ScanNCut DX, the first thing I noticed was the adorable Mickey and Minnie Mouse embossed on the front. It truly made my Disney heart smile! After powering on the digital display (how cool!), I popped open the tray, attached my iron on vinyl to the included cutting mat, and loaded it into the tray. I was SO impressed to see that the machine came preprogrammed with over 150 Disney designs and tons of additional non-Disney themed designs!

 

The process was super simple. I chose some Minnie themed designs from the easy-to-use display. It showed me exactly where on the vinyl the patterns would be placed, and the touch screen gave me the option to move the pieces around. Once I hit cut, the machine smoothly and quickly cut out my design onto the mat. I was able to pull away the excess vinyl to reveal my adorable Minnie Mouse shapes which I ironed onto my tote bag! It was SO easy and took less than 10 minutes!

 

I can’t wait to continue making beautiful projects on my Disney ScanNCut DX for my home and friends. Brother hit it out of the park once again in being a trusted source for home and office appliances. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!

Protein Packed Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes

Delicious Protein Packed Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes 

I have been forever in the search of a delicious and sweet breakfast treat that doesn't make me feel completely guilty after I've chowed down wayyyy more than I should. After some trial and error i came up with this not only deeelish recipe but its also completely clean and jam packed with protein!

There are SO many optional choices within this recipe that allows you to make it customizable to you and your family's likes and preferences. Even down to the protein powder. On numerous occasions I have chosen to make it without the powder for the different taste and texture the pancakes have without it!

36 Hours in Washington D.C.

Washington D.C. Is one of my favorite cities in the world. There is never a dull moment. This city is rich in history and culture. It is a true melting pot.

Oh and most importantly my bestie Sharae (@raesimone) lives here! So I decided on mostly a whim to go visit her for the weekend!

Saturday morning 11am: Brunch Vinoteca DC

My dear friend Anna (@pinup.pooh) joined us for a lovely bottomless mimosa brunch!

The food was beyond delicious and the drinks were bottomless. The meal was a little bit on the pricier end. My bill came out to around $50 after tip but I think it was well worth the money spent. I loved the location of this restaurant in Columbia Heights. It was a modern yet very casual part of town. 

Hello Darlings!

Welcome to my Blog!

This has been a process in the making for the last few years and I am so excited to be finally launching it!

I hope to highlight a few things on this blog but the main topics will be affordable Disney themed fashion (as shown on my insta), travel, and the amazing foods I find at the parks and on my travels!

A little about me:

My name is Nikki

I'm a foodie, a coffee connoisseur, a Disney darling, and a wanderlust seeker!

I live in Jacksonville, FL but grew up in the Orlando, FL area.
I think this is how I found my true love for Disney! I grew up going to the parks with my family as often as we could!
