New waterfront restaurant coming to Epcot!
Spice Road Table Restaurant will
be breaking ground this year at the Morocco pavilion in Epcot! Spice Road Table
will offer authentic Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine and is expected to open
its doors later this year! Wow, that location will be perfect for some
Illuminations watching!
I have actually never eaten in Morocco. To be honest, I kind
of forgot these two restaurants even existed. Restaurant Marrakesh is
tucked away in the back of the pavilion’s bazaar, and I rarely ever hear anything
about it. Tangierine
Café is a quick service restaurant that I’ve always known
about, but I seem to always pass up for some of my other World Showcase
favorites. Not to mention, I’m not the most adventurous eater. I’m very, very
picky.
Food from Tangierine
Café.....ehhh...
Oh well, maybe I will branch out while on the program and
try some of these places! The photos I’ve seen sure are beautiful!
Finding Dory
From what I can tell, this is legit folks. At first, I was
afraid it was a late April Fool’s joke, but it looks like Disney really has
announced the Finding Nemo sequel set to premiere on November 25, 2015! I’m sorry, ‘Sea-quel’. ;)
This new film will take place on the California coast-line,
about a year after the first film. This film will be centered around (duh)
Dory, and will follow her journey to reconnect with lost loved ones and learn
the valuable meaning of family along the way. The film will introduce a host of
new characters!
Guys, I’m so excited for more than a few different reasons!
Not only is Ellen returning to her role as probably my favorite Pixar character
of all time, but it’s going to be the second Pixar movie ever to have a female
lead! I’m no feminist, but I love that the studio is finally opening up to the
idea of strong and interesting females to lead their big budget movies! Dory is
the absolutely perfect choice in my opinion.
I am also happy to see them going about this sequel the
right way. I trust Pixar completely, since I believe they do a better job at
putting sequels together than other animation companies, but I was nervous about
this one. Finding Nemo ended so perfectly, and was such a heartwarming story,
that I was afraid that trying to add more to that story would somehow cheapen
it. But Finding Dory sounds like the
perfect premise to go off of, adding to the story in a more tasteful way than
say, Cars 2.
I am defiantly excited to see how this all develops!
Things I hope they cover:
-How/Why Dory can speak whale
-How/Why Dory can read.
-Why she was all alone in the first film
-How/Why she has the memory disability.
-Where she learned to ‘just keep swimming’. =)
Ahhhh so excited!

Have you met Ole Billy?
Disney’s newest marketing campaign for Florida Residents!
Ole Billy just wants to be part of our world!
Hear what he has to say below!
Soo….thoughts? Honestly, I think it’s kind of cute! I’m
really hoping that once they reach the amount of ‘shares’ needed, they will do
some kind of cute tie in at the actual park. I like the idea of giving this animatronic
goat a personality and voice, but honestly I think I might have liked the idea
better if it wasn’t just a marketing campaign. Like, if Disney (or even just a
Disney fan) had decided to make a web series about Billy the Big Thunder
Mountain Goat. I don’t know, just my two cents!
Last Chance to Apply for Fall/Fall Advantage 2013!!
If you haven’t applied already, (which I doubt, since most
of the people seeing this blog are probably DCP people!) hurry hurry hurry!! =)
Join me and a ton of other fabulous people!

"About Me" Post
There are so many things I want to cover in the blog, I
don’t even know where to begin!
Ever since I was a baby, I’ve had
this ‘thing’ with Disney. Sure, my family LIKED Disney. Probably just as much
as any family in the early 90’s did, during the golden age of Disney animation.
They bought me Disney toys, princess movies, sang Disney songs to me….but
unlike other kids at the time, oh my god, I was ALL ABOUT it. So we probably weren’t that ‘one Disney family
every community has’ until I came along. According to my mom, one of my
favorite words when I was a baby was ‘dee-dee’, which meant ‘Mickey’. She said I could spot the familiar tri-circle
symbol from a mile away. Keep in mind, this wasn’t any kind of creepy
Disney-related cult brain washing. As I said before, my family liked Disney
just about as much as anyone else at the time, it was like I was somehow born
with a love for it!
When I was four years old, my
parents scraped together enough cash to fly us down to central Florida for my
first Disney World vacation, and we have been hooked ever since. I don’t
remember much from that trip, but from then on out, we were hooked. We had
planned our next vacation before we were even off property.
Ever since then, we have visited the
parks at least once (but often more than once) a year. People ask me all the
time if I ever get sick of it, and my answer is no. Every time I visit the
park, I see something new that I’ve never experienced before. Some people may find my love for Disney
strange, but growing up, it’s always been a huge part of me, and always will
be!
I’m now a junior at Indiana
University, studying Tourism Management. I will be embarking on a new Disney adventure in May, as apart of the Disney College Program! I will be doing food and beverage! I
will be blogging about my DCP adventures, but also about Disney World itself. This
blog will be news, articles, reviews, advice, history, memories, ‘Top Ten’
lists, opinions, and a little bit of ‘life’ as well. All from the perspective
of someone who practically grew-up with a Disney State of Mind.
"Oh my god, she said the title in the post!"
I hope you enjoy this blog, and see
you real soon!
Katie
P.S: I’m new to Blogger, so bear
with me! I’ll get the hang of it soon!!
